From the Lady's Book.
Eiovc for Wet Weather,
OR THE WOOING OF CORNELIUS o’RIGGE.
21 TAZaE.
“ Tell her I’ll love her,
While the clouds drop rain.”—Modern Son<r.
kaei night i heard for the second time in
my life, the song of which the above are the
commencement-words; I had heard “ that air
before,” and the circumstances attendant upon
that occurrence, I have now the pleasure of
laying before my readers. Captain Cornelius
O’Rigge was a dashing young guardsman, tall
thin and genteel, with a head of hair black as
it could be made by art (Dame Nature havin«r
gifted the gallant Captain with one of fiery
red.) and a moustache of the most approved
curl; he was an excellen dancer, and cold sing
like a nightingale; then he had such a winning
way with him, he was so eminently gifted with
those powers of eloquence, universally known
by the appellation of “ blarney,” that he was
well known from one end of Bath to the other
by the name of ” the ladies’ gentleman.”
Cornelius O’Rigge was a gallant lellow,
showering all bis kmdnebs and attentions on
the young and old, without distinction, and
many a pretty little maiden of eighteen has
seen herself forsaken fol her grandmother of
eighty. Cornelius was a matvelloug favorite
an ong the old ladies, and although it was said
that he bad b< en overheard tnakmg extr ordt
nary declarations at the feet of Mi SS p r .,d eii
tia Popk.n, daughter and heiress of Ladv Pop
kin widow of a be knighted i ihzen; CoroeitUfr
hims< If was evei anxious to convince he world
that he was more regaidtu! ot her ladyship iho
widow. *
Men have strange tastes sometimes, and I
have treqmmtly wondered a< my fnend’s pre
wiring Lady Popkin, when it was obvious and
evident that he ch -Tm.ng Miss Prudentia had
something more than a liking for him. It was
I»jiiarkablv wet w-ru. -a—*- ——
about the middle of January that be first at
tached 1 imself; the day had been dark, gloomy
and tniseiable, one ot those awful days which
make a man fu for St. Lukes, or any thing
else that is deplorable. Cornelius had been
invited ton little musical party, at which Lady
Popkin was also present; Mis.- P. from regard
to her health, she said, had refused to make'
one of ihe party. 1 remember hearing that
evening a soft-tongued y outh sing thut pretty
air,
“ Tell her I’ll love her,
While the clouds drop rain !”
Cornelius was sitting by the side of Ladv Pop
kin; during the previous part of the < vening,
be had been sitting absorbed in thought; but
as the youth lisped out these honeyed words,
he seemed to wake from a trance, and raising
his curled head, the eyes ot Lady P..pkm met
his. The effect win singular; Cornelius look
ed unutterable things, Ins g-ize was fixed upon
her ladyship’s face; her ladyship blushed and
looked down; the song proceeded; the Captain
sighed; Lady Popkin endeavoured to beat
tune with ber right foot, but her thoughts were
confused; she tried her left fool, but to no
purpose; she grew more confused than ever,
f<»r my friend Cornelius sighed again, and by
and by, hi* fingers touched her hlly hand; that
hand resisted not, although the tare of her la
dyship be.ray< d 'he gteatness of her heart’s
emotion; tn another moment the hand of Lady
Popktn was clasped in that bl Cornelius, und
the singing youth concluded his ditty.
i “O, what a beautiful air !” exclaimed Cor-
I neltus.
“ It is divine !'* sighed her ladyship.
’ “ How sweet must be the passion of love,”
whispered Cornelius.
“ You think so perhaps, because you hav©
nev’r expelienc< d i‘.” said Lady P. ” VXeie
vou tu be once tn love, you would soon tire of
loving.”
Lady Popkin !” cried the gallant Captain,
“ surely I not merit such suspicion.”
“ I speak according to the world’s expert
ence,” quoth het ladysh.p; “ I do not mean to
say you would prove f ilse to love; but it is tho
character of your s« x”—
” I It el that I could love— forever," mur
mured the Captain, evidently wishing to avoid
an argum* nt.
‘‘ hat a pry ’tis, then, that there is no kind
I dam-el m the woild to tiy your constancy; we
must look out for one.”
‘‘ N.>y, my lady,” whispered Cornelias,
giving his moustache an elegant twirl as he
spake, " upon ati occasion of such a nature the
■ ucntlerimiJ aiiould be left to make his own elec
tioti.”
” By all means,” replied Lady P. “ and
now commence, your search immediately.”
” 11 niiy have been commenced ere this,”
r> | licit ihe C ip ain.
I .ey-d >y !’’ cm d the widow, “ I bejn te
think \ ou tn»e already a la<!y in your eye.”
*• I, my eye I con ess 1 have, * sit d Corne
lius; •• in my eye, now, now, and iu my heerjt
too.”
