Miss Dorothy Blanks for sale at this Office. 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. Several a Items.

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!'

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!

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.
