Popping <lie Question.
: t‘l’4l do it !” quoth Mu. Tompkins,
with ft very decided flourish of his
red and yellow bandana ; and Mr.
Tompkins folded his arms across
his portly breast, and paced the gar
den walk with the air of a tat Na
poleon.
lie had made up his mind ; he
bad decided the question upon
which he had been pondering for
the last two hours. Yes, he would
do it; upon the whole, Mr. Tomp
kins would pop the question ! To
be sure, he was forty, fat and bald ;
bat- everybody that knew him said
there was not a moie amiable man
in Holloway ; besides, he did not
think himself so very ill-looking a
man; and even Nannie Day could
not be .entirely oblivious to the
fact that lie was something of a
catch. Fifty thousand dollars was
a great wealth in Holloway, and
Mr. Toippkins possessed that
amoant of worldly goods.
He was a widower; his first
wife had been Betsey Trimmer,
aril he had married her for her
■“smartness,” aud it was a proof of
bis fondness for variety that he had
now set his heart upon pretty Nan
nie Day, the doctor’s daughter, who
was only eighteen, and anything
but “capable.” Indeed, Mrs. Jones,
the housekeeper, to whom Mr.
Tompkins had-applied for her opin
ion of Nannie, said she “was a fly
away-flirt-of-a thing, and jest about
as stiddy as a white kitten.”
But everybody knew that Mrs.
Jones was an ill-natured critic,
■who would see no good in any,
body.
Nannie would sober down after
awhile, and her girlish flightirjess
just pleased Mr. Tompkins. Aud
she was so bewitchingly pretty;
her hair was like gold in the sun,
and her eyes were like two violets,
* and would drive any man out
of his senses; Mr. Tompkins
knew that, for they had driven him
out of his many a time. If she
accepted him, (and of course she
Would) how all the young fellows
would envy him!
That last consideration decided
him; and a glimpse just then of
Nannie herself, crossing the pastue
next his garden, and carrying a
little tin pail which betokened that
she was going “strawberrying.”
Postively she nad never looked so
charming as she looked at that mo
ment, in her pink calico dress and
white apron, and the broadbrim
mod hat, with ribbons that just
matched her eyes. Yes, Mr Tomp
kins would do it!
He felt very assured and triumph
ant in advance, when he stood on
Dr. Day’s front doorstep that even
ing, asking the “help” if Miss Nan
cy was in ?
“Miss Nancy ? yes; she’s in the
settin’-room Walk right in there,
Mr. Tompkins,” and Almiry look
ed exceedingly significant, as she
opened the settin-room door. Al
miry was a sharp girl, and Mr.
■Tompkins presumed oho guessed
his errand.
There was no light in the ‘settin’-
room, ai\d only the white table.
• cover arid crimson lounge showed
■distinctly through the gloom. A
female figure iu a pink dress aud
white aprQii arose at the entrance
from a seat by the window, and
Mr. Tompkins hurriedly exclaimed,
feeling a little flurried in spite of
himself:
Don’t bring in a light, Miss Day,
don’t; I want to say something to
you, in the twilight ’ Mr, Tomp
kins took a seat beside the lady,
who finished his sentence for him
by whispering, “Oh!”
Now was the tug of war. Mr.
Tompkins did not find his task as
easy as he had anticipated; but
having been through the ordeal
once before, he was not to be daunt
ed by trifles : so he possessed him
self of the lady’s hand, having some
trouble to find it in the deepening
gloom, aud cleared his throat pre
paratory to commencing.
“Hem ! Miss Day—my dear Nan
nie !”
He stopped short, and the fair
one giggled. Mr. Tompkins con
sidered that encouraging, and re
collecting the manner in which he
.had proposed to Betsey Trimmer,,
ho addressed her in the precise lan
guage of which he made use on
that former occasion.
My dearest Nannie, I have long
sought an opportunity like the
present. I have long wished to
declare my love for you. To win
the pure treasure of your virgin
heart has long been the dream of
my manhood. Say, my love, dear
est, must I hope’ in vain ? Will
yon not make me happy? Will
you be my wife ?
(Mr. Tompkins bad learned the
above speech from a novel, express
ly for the former occasion referred
to, and he considered it a highly
able'oratorical effort )
The lady trembled, and giggled,
and appeared .overwhelmed by mai
den confusion, and the elated Mr.
Tompkins stole bis arm about her
waist and whispered:
* “Say yes, dearest!”
‘‘Yes, then, if you will be so per
sistent, Hiram!”
Mr. Tompkins started up as if a j
torpedo had exploded beneath his I
chair ; it was the unmistakable j
voice of Miss Nancy Day, Nannie’s
old maid aunt.
“Good Lord ! have I been and
gone and proposed to the old maid,”
was-the thought that darted through
Mr. Tompkins brain. He grasped
his hat, and muttering something
about “business to attend to,”
made a rush for the nearest door.
It was a clothes-press.
“Dear me, Hiram, how flustered
you be !” giggled Miss Nancy. I’ve
always supposed the women was
the ones to be upsot!
But Mr. Tompkins had succeed
ed in finding the right door, and
was gone. Bushing down the walk,
he ran plump into a tall moustach
ed young fellow, who stood by the
front gate with an arm around Nan
nie Day’s slender waist, in just the
most agreeable manner imaginable.
“I’ll be hanged—if it isn’t Tom
Willis !” exploded Mr. Tompkins.
“The same,” laughed the young
man.—“Pray*, what do you mean
by coming down upon a fellow in
that style, Mr. Tompkins?”
An idea had struck Mr. Tomp
kins. Os course, Tom Willis
wouldn’t have his arm around Nan
nie’s waist unless it had a right
there. So he concluded to apolo
gize and go home.
“After all,” he reflected, as he
turned his steps in that direction,
“Nannie Day is a wild little thing,
and I mightn’t have' been happy
with her. And—here Mr. Tomp
kins had another idea—“perhaps I
haven’t done such a bad tiling, on
the whole. There isn’t a smarter
woman in the country than Miss
Nancy Day. . She’s a great deal
moie suitable for mo than little
Nannie; of course she is!”
And so Mr. Tompkins has a
wife, after all. He thinks she is
even more “capable” than his first
wife ; and all his relations say that
“Hiram has had the best luck with
his wives;” but Mr. Tompkins has
never told his wife that he propos
ed to her by mistake’!
The Times of the 30th in an edi
torial upon the present phase of the
Alabama Claims question, congrat
ulates the United States Govern
ment for proposing that the liability
of neutrals shall never extend be
yound direct consequences of the
breaches of neutrality. This says
the Times is paving the way for a
satisfactory settlement of the diff
erancos now existing between
England and America.
A witty editor who had just fail
ed, says he did it with all the'hon
ors of war, retired from the field
with flying colors, sheriff’s flag flut
tering from two windows and the
door, and a white flag hung out of
his person as a token of surrender.
A Kentucky entomologist has
kept two vigorous mosquitoes un
der an inverted tumbler for six
months without food, and they re
main in a healthy condition. This
clearly proves that their annoyance
of mankind is entirely uncalled for,
and not at all necessary to their
sustenauce.
