But I will spare you at present, as I expect a person to speak about a purchase of property now open in this part of the country.

It is a place to which I have a foolish partiality, and I hope my purchasing may be convenient to those who are parting with it, as there is a plan for buying it under the value.

My respectful compliments to Mrs.Mervyn, and I will trust you, though you boast to be so lively a young gentleman, to kiss Julia for me.

Adieu, dear Mervyn .-- Thine ever, GUY MANNERING.' Mr.Mac-Morlan now entered the room.

The well-known character of Colonel Mannering at once disposed this gentleman, who was a man of intelligence and probity, to be open and confidential.
