_A NEW MRS.

TOODLES .-- POTTS' ADVENTURES_.
One evening I met Mr.Potts out upon the turnpike, taking a walk; and I joined him.

As we proceeded he became rather confidential.

The subject of the mania for collecting bric-a-brac came up; and after an expression of opinion from me respecting the matter, Mr.Potts told the story of his wife's fondness for that kind of thing.

He said, "My wife is the most infatuated bric-a-brac hunter I ever heard of.
She's an uncommonly fine woman about most things; loves her children; makes splendid pies; don't fool with any of those fan-dangling ways women have of fixing their hair; and she's an angel for temper.
