A FORTUNATE REcovERY.-A young lady of Phila-
delphia few days since picked up pocket book in
Fourth street, near market, which She had reason to
suppose 10 have been just dropped by a gentleman
passing by She inquired Of the gentleman who pro-
we'd to be merchant from Tennessee, if lie lad lost
anything, to which be- with some surprise at the in
qury, replied in the negative. The young lady re-
peated her inquiry and suggested that he should satisfy
himself by examining. On doing this he suddenly
stared and declared himself ruined man, for he had
lost his pocket book. The book handed to him by
the lady On recovering which the gratitude Of the
stranger unbounded, and on the young ladys posi-
lively refusing to accept portion of the money, he
insisted on presenting her with gold watch, which
was declined The strange merchant, however, forced
upon the lady two notes of twenty dollars each being
all the loose money in his pocket. The pocket book
contained $4,000


Unfortunately, it didn't occur to the gentleman,
we suppose, that the lady was young, handsome and
a candidate for matrmony.
