the bequest ol nil old uuut, for wtiuni Jonah
had invented a tooth powder equally choice and
cheap. Jonah Elderberry, Lsq. Was a little
tuan,and a great beau; (on his arrival in the

beau with two strings.) He wore a little wig,
very neat, and always appeared lira cinnamon

damp days, a amall sdk umbrella, wait an ivoiy

tigs were coming to a crisis,
Miirchmyrtle had had supernatural indications,
that something was going to come. For three
soveral mornings tbo oolite grounds had given
mysterious hints; bride cuko appeared in her
dreams, und cradles bounced from tho lire.
The rind of an orange thrown over her slioul
dor arranged itself iu a true love knot. That of
a' turnip, to he sure, had represented an il; und
why might not Elderberry be spelt with that
letter 1 And even if it were nut the first letter
6f Elderberry, it was certainly tho last-uf Jo
nah,
On the. morning of the fourth day came a
little nourishing on the knocker at the door of
Miss Dorothy’s dwelling; and a single knock
by way of peroration, a sort of minature towti
knock; or London rap in a consumption. The
door opened, und Miss Marchmyrtlo’s hand-
maid announced Mr. Elderberry. So “ enter
Jonah.” Tbero was something more of con
straint iu Miss Dorothy’s manner than usual, as
site motioned Mr. Elderberry to a chair; a
degree of consciousness which looks' very well
at sixteen; but is perhaps reversed when the
figures are versed. This something, it has no
name iu the living tongue, ,wus nut, however,
confined to tho spinster. It scented even still
more to occupy und overwitelmo the bachelor.

Friend Miss Sibthurdle very well? Miss Sib-
(hurdle quite well. Su passed half uu hour. A
the expiration of this period, the quit versa tion
after a sort of Rubicon like pause, was renew
ed. A new key was touched, aud a mystery
was unlocked. “1 have ventured to wait on
Miss Marchmyrtle iu cousequonce of—of-
period in full stup. “ No need of aasiguiug
any cause. Mr. Elderberry’s visits alw,iysftc-
ceptable!” ** Very good.—very kind—.very
kind indeed. But tbo oceasiou of my present
visit is one of so peculiar a nature^ one 111 which
my happiness is so materially a subject (hat my
dear Miss March myrtle must ekeuso auy waut
of connexion in detail of what it is impossible,
perhaps, explicitly to detail.” !‘‘I believe, I
think, I imagine, 1 understand your meaning,
sir. Beg yon will compose yourself.” .“Then,
madam this—this—the attachment of which 1
would speak, you are acquainted with !”- “ L
confess, Mr. Elderberry, to show you the
frankness, with which 1 mean—with which it is
mv wish to speak, 1 ufu 1 have suspected it.
Be quietrGupid.” The last words were sjiokeii
Icbfba lapdog, nud not to Mr. Elderberry.—
“ AmR may I then venture—may 1 hope—that
this too, too tender penchant ot my heart for
one of die most deserving of her sex inerita Miss
Marclimyrtle’s approbation? If so, my happi
ness will be complete. “ Sir, I protest I am
not prepared. Cupid, I say, how you tease me!
I am not at this moment capable; my agitation
is such j pardon me. Sir.” ” How kind, said
Mr. Elderberry, “ how compassvouaie l Yet,
forgive me, il 1 cummi leave this place with
out knowing the sentiments of 0110 whose judg
ment is so paramount.’’ The maiden sighed,
sidled, bridled, looked amiable, said, “ S.r, if.
you -will take advantage'of riiy agitation,''I do
own, your meri requires it,—Your prop*u, il ins
my concurrence.” “ I am the happiest of men,”
exclaimed tho lover. “ Your approbation
ouly was wanting to porfect my felicity; with
out.that I could not have .ventured to compiuto
the union, dear as it is to my heart.” “ Of
course not I” said tho lady, whom this singular
truism rather amazed. “ Forgive me, madam,
if I now leave you—you know ' a lover's
feelings, and I must hasten to expedite mat
ters.” And tho gentleman vanished, le'ilfuig
Miss Dorothy astonished, that ho should bo iu
such haste to procure the license before the day
was fixed.
An hour had not elapsed when Miss Brid
get Sib'.hurdio was announced. Site was in
troduced to Iter friend’s drossing room. “My
dear Dorothy, who do you think has just laft
mo? Ahl I see you guess! But of “course
you must, • ho told mo iic had just left you.”
“If you meau Mr. Elderberry, my dear friend,
certainly it is not long since ho was here.”
“Yes, I know ho has opened all to you; ito
told mo he had.” “Indeed!' Hu vraffiri a
great hurry to impart hia tidings. Yet ho seems
so happy oue cannot but'pitrdonhim.’,’ “Well,
tny love, you know 1 bavo a favor to beg,
which I urn sure you will not refuso! our
Iriendsltip will ensure its boing granted.” “I,
thiuk 1 guess,” replied Miss Dorothy; “well,
but speak, my dear.”-—Why you know there
must 'bo:u bride’s maid on this occasion.”
“Precisely what I was thinking of.” “Now I
should bo very Imppy, my dear M irchiuyrdo
——” “Ah! I understand yojt; yes, my
dear f iond, you certainly, in preference to ev
ery other, shall be tny bride’s tniid.” “Your
bride’s maid! Miss Marchmvrile?’,^ “Cer
tainly, I pi utilise it i<> you.” “Ob, tint i%
when .y3u are married: yes, then, ; cort. my,
you shall return me the 1 compliment.” 1“ vVht%
1 am married ! My dear B I’ldgut, you are ue-
wildured. Did you not just ask to accompauy
me us my brido’s maid?”—“Wlten! where!
what do you inenn?” criod tho bewildered
Bridget. “Madam this is no jesting matter,
I assure you; I look on your conduct as un
friendly.’’ “Miss Marchmyrtle. your conver
sation is unintelligible—is strange—unaccount
able: in a-word, do you wish to nppear a.4 my
friend 011 my approaching union with Mr. El
derberry, pr not ?’’ “ Four union ra i’nm!”
“Yes, ma’am! Mr. Elderberry lias, is you-
know, this morning maile proposals—” “Yes,
to me,” interrupted Miss Marchmyrtlo. “Did
you not say ho had told you of it ?” “Ilfs affec
tion for mo, he cortaiiiiytoldmoite had, though
without consulting me, informed you of; a lib
erty which I overlooked in him at the tlpTn-.
Had ho known that I was to be thus insulted,
ho would have placed his confidence else where.
“Woman! it is false I” exclaimed Miss March
myrtle, unable to suppress the torrent of Iter
rage. “ You ! marry you P l retorted tlie otiier,
“you old—you ugly wretch?” “Come along!
this instant, come along!” screamed Dorothy:
and seizing iter quandam friend by llte arm,
she dragged her away. The-clmir in which
Miss Bridget had arrived, was at tlie door, into
it they both got; they were not very corpulent,
and the vehicle was of easy dimensions. “To
Mr. Elderberry’s,” and to Mr. Elderberry’s
they were carried. The honor of this visit
not u little surprised tho gentlemen in ques
tion,-who was arranging a quantity of white
kid gloves, with which his table was covered,
“Mr. Elderberry, you did mo tho honor of a visit
this morning,” .said Miss Marchiuyrtk*, .smoo
thing down Iter features as much as in'her l *y.
‘IJiud pqrtriihly that felicity,and, never, piudam,
did a visi(at yourdwellitm confer mart) pleasure.*
“You shake, sir, of—of—no intended—a desi
red—oii^your pert, 1 say—-desired union.”
“Desired, ma’am, I (rust, nay I know, on horn
sides.” “Indeed, sir!” with a toss: “may I
inquire, for the satisfaction of my friend and
myself, the present name ofthe futuro’Miss
Elderberry.*!’’ “Aro you not ucquinted with
it!” exclaimed the nstouishod bachelor; “I
understood as much this morning, when 1 wait
ed to gainyour approval ofthe intended event;
that is, of my marriage with my beloved Mary
Murray.” “Mary Murray! vile doceiver,”
exclaimed Miss Sibthurdle. '. “Maray Murray !
you basest of men,” exclaimed Miss March-
tuyrilo. O Dorothy ! O liridgot! deceived,
betrayed, ‘undone !” wept, sobbed, and said
both Ifdies in concert. “Mr. Elderberry, did
you nU this morning ask mu if I were acquaint
ed withypur attachment?” “To Mary, I did-
I went to acquaint you, and afterwards M ss;
Sihihut'dle, with the circumstance; by each, I
was mid, ytyt were already acquainted with it.”
The ladies'were dnmfoundod. Tbo quesiion of
’approbation they had construed as a question
of acceptance. Their hopes were ruined, and
the bachelor lost. They departed, were re
conciled, und joined iu hatred to lliu new coup
le. They went homo, Miss Sibthurdle to fon
dle Iter cat; Miss Marclimyrtfe to vent her
spleen upon Cupid. English paper.
