And car.vass backs and wane ;
And all the realms of nature spread
Before me v/hen I dine.
Four courses scarcely can provide

With four choice cooks from Frar.ce b eside*
To dress rny din nor well.

With halls for banquets ami for ball a,
All furnished rich anuriuc;
With sluhled tudsin fifty stalls,
-And cedars fir my v.due;

My dwelling to surround,
A thousand acres, (bless the mark)
With walls encompassed round,
As flocks may range and herds may low,
An 1 kids and lambkins play,
And flowers and fruits commingled *groW
All Eden to display.
VI.
I want, when summer's foliage falls,
And autumn strips the trees,
A house within the city’s wails
For comfort and for ease,
But here as space is somewhat scant
And acres rather rare,
My house in town I only want
To occupy—a square.

I want a Stewart, Butler, cooks,
A coachin m, footman, grooms ;

To cheer the adverse hour;

And that my friendship proves as strong
For him, as his for me,

Washington, June I ri.it. 1849.
Abociiiiitblc.
I first observed Edith Lawton’s pre
ference at a picnic. She had been
Hirtiii<r with Jack West—shallow, but a
talking fellow you know. the day
was warm, and I a;as bored. I was
loooking at Jack and Miss Lawton, and
wondering what f’uu there was in a
flirtation.
All of a sodden, ‘Mr. Maples’ said
Edith, ‘wall you give tne your arm ?'
1 was astonished, but i i,hought noth
ing about it specially ; I gave her my
arm, of course. She leaned on it and
looked' up in my face.
You have had a dull day, haven’t
you V she said, and her manner was
positively tend r. ‘Why did you stand
away there bv yourself?’
I don’t know what i said. An ap
palling thought had occurred to me.—
Clirls do fancy men sometimes you
know, without any provocation, and
theti what can a fellow do ! A Ivoman
can send a man oiT if she don’t like
him. but a man lias got to be gallant and
gentlemanly ; and then girls are such
nervous creatures, and drown thein-
I selves. Id *cfn,«:, ~!( the way down
tho '.mi. 1 was thinking how .11 account
of an inquest on the body of Edith
Lawton would read : ‘Found drowned
—a beautiful young girl, age 19. black
iiair. black eyes, splendid color—no,
she wouldn’t have any color—dieased
in white, of course; willow wreath, for
ail I know ; a paper pinned last in her
pocket, and says :
•Whoever may find this, is earnestly
entreated to carry it to William Maples,
No. 11,675 twenty-third street, New
York.’
Inside it would read something like
this •
Dearest: —in the awliil presence of
death, conventionality must give way,
and lor the first and last time in my life
l address ;ou by that endearing title
that I always gave you in my heart.
Farewell 1 You- indifference has made
life worthless to me. On you rests all
the blame ol this rash act. Edith.’
Pleasant subject of meditation, was it
not ? Just think of the responsibility ;
and the more I thought ol it the more 1
was convinced that Edith was just the
kind of a girl to do such a tiling ! One
of your girls that is afraid of nothing !
A young lady once asked me if I did
not find it inconvenient to be so very
fascinating, and modesty prevented me
from replying ; hut here I can state the
truth, and declare that I have often
wished that J had been as ugly and
uninteresting as some pf m v sex. who
no doubt regard me with envy. To
come back, however :
‘Mr. Maples.’ said Edith, ‘how silent
VjOU are ! I do believe you are in love.’
I was horror stricken. 1 thought
she was g ring to lead the way to an
avowal of her own feelings at once.
•Not at all,’ s;.id 1, briskly ; ‘I have
never been in love, and never will be.’
‘Do you thiuk it is a matter within
your control ?’ asked Edith ; and I am
sure she sighed.
•It has been so far,’ I was brute
enough to answer.
Miss Lawton looked at me in great
surprise, and then over her shoulder at
Jack West, who followed, but made no
effort to join us.
‘Mr, Maples, l want you to sit by
me in tin* boat,’ said she, very low.
I might have pleaded another en
gagement. but I was so surprised that 1
forgot to say anything. When we were
in the boat, Miss Lawton would have
me put the shawl on her; then I had
not folded it right ; then I put it on
roughly, and 1 must take it off and
learn to do-oetter. Somehow, my stern
resolution to cure Fnlith of her folly by
pitiless coldness vanished. What is a
man to do. with a handsome, laughing
face looking upon his. and two little
white hands ever aud anon touching
his own, but smile ? Edith was not
exactly mv style, but she was a good,
prettv girl ; and after all, what right
had a fellow to be so very critical ?
On our way home, Edith asked me
to go with her that evening to see
Mary Ellis, and I consented, though I 1
might easily have pleaded a previous |
engagement It was not altogether dis- j
agreeahle, ami then I had a feeling ofj
resignation about it.
At Miss Ellis’* house we found Jack
NO. SO.
West, looking gloomy. lie had no
l idv with him, an ! lie "odded at us
very cooilv. Turning to speak to Ed
ith, 1 discovered that she was very
pale. «k
She was a l ; tt!e font, she said. 1 ran
of course, (or water and smelling bot
tles, and it struck me that Edith had
never been so charming. Helpless
loveliness had always beenj my idol.
( began to he more than grateful to this
sweet gar! who so artlessly manifested
her preference for me.
Jack brought her some water, hut
she would not even prelend to see him.
‘Mr. M I pies, that glass, if von
please,’ said she, with her sweetest
smile.
Miss Lawton recovered from her ;
fainting tit. and was as gay as ev -r
hut jor me, 1 began to cousider n>,
posit!. ! seriot;.. 01 course, I must
propose. C:: :o:n would not allow
Edith, though [ am sure she would
have been Cooler about it than I could
be ; and as 1 hats to havn anything
hanging over mv head. 1 concluded that
1 might as v, til have it ovgr that eve
ning. With that intention 1 proposed
a walk in ti.e cjnsofvalory, but l sus
peel Edith took the alarm from some*
thing in my lone, and she wouldn’t go.
She haled conservatories, and she
wanted in go and tail; to Bella; and
she did go and talk to Bella. I watch
ed her, tor, of course, l must find a
chance to speak with her privately.
Bv aud-by, v\:t'i a sly glance around
her, seeing that everybody was talking
very fa.:t, bliss Lawton quietly left her
seat and .slipped into the conservatory
that she detected. She never once
glunceJ toward me ; but of course I
understood t'te stratagem, auu smiling
at her feminine craft, i went around
and entered the conservatory bv an
other door. §,ie was sitting with her
back toward me, and near her stood
Jack West. 1 stood slid at first in
sheer annoyance, and thinking i.ow l
could get Jack out of the way ; and
then hearing my own name mentioned,
I listened to know what they had to
say of me. 1 believe this is called
uugei.tlemanly, but when a man aims
to make a lady his wife, I think he is
justified in learning ail he can about
her.
Edith sat with hr r hands clasped in
her lap, and when J ek presented him
self, she started visibly, ns though he
was ti e last person she expected.
‘You have a quiet seat, Miss Ltw
! *o*i, ..bserved Jack, alter a moment i.i
[ two of silence, in which he seemed at „
j loss.
I *1 came here to he alone,’ she said,
! with emphasis.
I ‘ A’hieii means that lam logo?
TV, l.idy v..-. ,
Jack stood surveying her with a sact 4
as gloomy as her own. Suddenly he
smiled.
•1 am not going, Edith,’ he said, and
sat down beside her.
‘Edith, how hmg is this to last?’
asked Jack. lam sure lam miserable
enough to satisfy you, and I don't think
you look very happy.’
Think of that! And Edith manifestly
listened witli pleasure, though she pre
tended to pout,
‘Dear Edith,’ murmured Jack, taking
her hand, ‘let us be friends.’
‘1 thought you intended to show me
that whatever it cost, you could live
without me ?*
‘Well, haven't I ?’
Yes. 1 think you have.’ said Edith,
very spitefully. ‘I don’t, see but you
get on very well without me.’
•And you, too,’ said Jack, slily,‘with
Mr. Maples!’
‘Mr. Maples !’ Edith burst into a
laugh. A musical laugh, 1 suppose;
hut 1 must say that I think it is very
vulgar in a lady to laugh so loud.
•Jack,’ said Edith, ‘you don’t dc-
serve forgiveness. Such things as I
have had to suffer with that man.’
‘Worse than my tyranny V inquired
Jack, kissing her.
‘You aiidiciuus, impertinent moil'
ster !’ (Edith is radiant, mind you, as
she thus exclaimed.) ‘But seriously, ]
Jack, you know 1 was very angry with i
you.’
•Yes, I know,’ kissing the little hand
that he held in (its.
‘And if Mr. Maples had been pos
sessed with a spark of wit, 1 would
have punished you finally. If he had
not been such a stick, how we would
have flirted V
‘As if you would have eared? 5
‘You woulu: you did care! Confess
now, it worried you to see us togetll"
er.’
‘Only in this way I thought isl let
you go too long, you mig-ht marry him
in dispair; as a sort of modem way ol
drowning yonrseil.’
•But you won’t let tne tell you about
Mr. Maples.’
‘I am sure I am listening.*
‘Well then, you know I was very
sweet on him, alter our quarrel; and he
was actually scared at first, lie thought
that 1 was in love with him.’
•I don’t wonder then.’
‘Now Jack, you are trying to vex tne.
I should think it was enough to have
had a man behave toward you as il you
were somebody else’s big bundle, or a
strange baby left on his hands; and
that was vour fault you know sir. Il
you had behaved—”
‘M v dear Edith, once for all. I be- *
haved like a monster, a scoundrel, and j
heartless villUn. Now go on, and tell j
urn about Mr. Maples. I think Hurt he
is funny.’
‘Funny! Disgusting! I suppose he re
signed himself to his late. While lie
was distant, he was endurable; but wlieu
be became amiable, lie was intolerable.
I would have kept up our quarrel six
weeks longer, il he had not been so
unbearable.’
‘Why didn’t you try someone else? |
‘Why, you know,’ answered Edit ,
that Mr. Maples is a flat; but it woolen
n’t do to impose on some men —doi/t
Jou see.”
1 s.iw. whether Mr. West was en
lightened or not. and waited to,hear no
further, hut left the conservatory with
out wailing to hear any more. But
just to think that I had nearly asked
that woman to become m\ wife! To
what dangers are right minded young
men exposed in this world!
