MR. DICKENS tells an American story of a young lady, who, being
intensely loved by five young men, was advised to jump overboard, and
marry the man who jumped in after her. Accordingly, next morning, the
five lovers being on deck, and looking very devotedly at the young lady,
she plunged into the sea head-foremost. Four of the lovers immediately
jumped in after her. When the young lady and four lovers were out again,
she says to the captain, What am I to do with them now, they are so
wet?--Take the dry one. And the young lady did, and married him.
