LETTERS TO ture of Hymen. In perclose, if you can reciprocate the eupathy which indited this epistolographic effusion, a replication from you in the affirmative, will invest me with inenarrable delectation.

Yours, erotically,

LORENZO ALTISONANT.

Amenityville, Occ., July 4th, 1844.

Seignior Lorenzo Altisonant:

Concinnous Sir, — Rath on this National Feriation, I was the accepient of your inopinate epistolary missile, and posterior to a thorough lection and perpension of its momental import, which greatly perturbated my mentality, and dispelled my accustomary somnolency I now, having recuperated my medium serenitude, alacriously aproperate to impart to you a response.

I am still an agamist, although nubile for several annuary epochs. I have had multitudinous alectations to enter into a maritated condition, but have as yet evitated all morsure at the escations coming from your genus. Whatever might evene, I was procinct against a decubation in a state of deteriority, by an infrangible consortion with an amotorculist. Petit maitres, or jackanapes in fulgid ornature, could never enter the cycle of amorо̄sos. Festination by many of my stirp, to sponsal colligation with such asinēgos, has crebrously obnubilated the most lucent prospicience of aleger juvenility. Such eventuations made me meticulous to adjugate my mundane allotment to any goman. I came almost to the illation, to be solivagant through this multivious megacosm to my ulterior requietory.
