MISCEL.GANEDUH.
TIIE FIRST OFFER.
BY MISS WINCHESTER.
Susan Willis was a sprightly cherry
cheeked girl of seventeen, when she made
her conquests. Edward Littleton, loved
her with till the s ncerity of a young and
ardent sottl, and made her honorable pro
posals; she was pleased with his preference
allowed his visits because she loved to he
admired; she rode with him to shew the
world that she had made a conquest; hut
after having frequently urged her oil the
subject of marriage, he told her he wouhl
have a decided answer, she laughed and
told him she hoped he did not think that
one so young and so much admired as
herself, would become the wife of a poor
mechanic.
He blushed deeply, then fixing his eves
on her face with a determined look, ask
ed her if she was in earnest, “never more
so,” she earnestly replied.—“ Susan,”
continued In , “you ought to have told me
so before; why have yon received my at
tention so long, and by your conduct
taught me to hope thnt mv warm affec
tion was reciprocated?” “Ha, von trust
every smile then!” she snecnnglv replied.
Edward felt his heart breaking, and after
wishing her a long ami happy life he hur
ffiietl from her presence.
He had no sooner left her than he felt
himself released from a dangerous snare;
he consoled himself by reflecting that she
was unworthy of his love; and if he was
not altogether so happy as he might he,
lie was not so unhappy as he expected to
lie. .
lie applied himself closely to his busi
ness, and in the course of a few months
married to an amiable woman, who
brought not only much personal worth,
hut a handsome estate.
In the meantime, Susan, proud of her
conquest, and dreaming herself as much
admired lty all, as she had been by the
faithful Edward, thought herself entitled
to select such a husband as she would
prefer from among the village lieaux, hut
her vanity soon liecaine obvious to every
one, and the young men were so disgus
ted at her airs of coquetry that they all
forsook her; it was also known that she
had ill-treated Edward Littleton, and as
he was beloved hv all for his steady and
amiable disposition, no one, either old or
voung, thought any the better of her on
that account.
Time rolled rapidly along, and Susan
found herself twenty-two years of ago
without having a second offer. It is true
that a narrow-faced bachelor of fifty, once
asked her father’s consent to address her,
and she fretted a whole week and would
not go to meeting, because her prudent
parent gave him a negative answer with
out consulting her.
There was also some stranger in the
village who would perehance how polite
ly if not significantly to her as he passed
her window, and even sometimes asked
her to take a morning ride in his carriage;
but what of this? No one professed what
Edward had, and she began to reflect a
little sorrowfully on the unkind treatment
she had given ' iin. He was now in easy
circumstances, and might sometimes be
seen riding in his own carriage, with
his wife a id two blooming cherubs.
Three years passed away and Susan
began to think in good earnest, that she
would be under the necessity of living a
life of“oi,igle blessedness,” wlven anew
personage came to pass a few months in
the village. He wore a gold watch, rode
in an elegant gilt chaise, ami what was
more than all, lie came directly from the
city. The villagers looked upon him al
snr»=* -- - , uema, miu no one
spoke higher in his praise than Susan Wil
l's, for lie passed her window every dav
and always took particular pains to m ike
her a fashionable bow. She once met
him at a ball, and what was her ecstacy
of delight, when after having shown her
much attention during the evening, he
verv politely offered to escort her home.
This was indeed a moment of triumph
to the neglected Susan. Site had caught
the city beau, and the disdainful looks she
cast on those around her, as he conducted
her through the crowded room where such
as could not be easily misunderstood; the
fine git chaise was waiting at tire door,
and when site found herself seated in it
and heard the wheels running merrily a
round, she almost thought she was in an
other world and fancied herself an angel.
Front this evening the stranger was al
most a constant visiter at the house of Mr.
Will ts, and Susan was often heard to
draw comparisons between the manners
and equipage of the city beau and those
of the rustic youth of her own village.
She was seen frequently riding in the gilt
chaise, and then she loved to pass the neat
white mansion of Edward Littleton, who
was now a widower, and dwelt on the
splendours which her new lover promised
her when he should take her to the eity.
She thought much on the difference be
tween her first and second offer, and very
gravely said she always believed it best
for girls to wait until they had some sense
before they should choose a companion
for life.
Splendid preparations were now making
at the house of Mr. Willis, for the accom
modation of a large party. Susan’s lov
er had sent to the city to purchase a suit
of apparel, which, he declared would out
rival the very sun himself; he also gave or
ders to have a maid accompanying it,
who should be capable of waiting on his
soon-to-be new bride in fashionable style.
The young people began to say among
themselves, “Miss Willis is about leaving
us, and why should we part with unfriend
ly feelings? ’Tis true she has some faults,
and who among us have not? Yet 1 must
confess I always thought her a fine girl on
the whole, and it is a downright shame
that we have so long neglected her; it is
no more than just for us now to make a
tnends for our past conduct.” It was
therefore, unanimously agreed upon a
tnong the young villagers to go on a par
ticular day and make Miss Willis a for
mal visit,the Indies in the afternoon, and
the gentlemen in the evening.
The custom of sending compliments,
cards, &c. had not reached this rural
hamlet, and so all of a sudden, full fifteen
or twenty belles stored at the door ol Mr.
Willis, knocking for admission. And
waiting for the usual salutation of “come
in,” the door was suddenly opened, and
the city beau stood before them. After
many ceremonies, he introduced them in
to the parlor where Mr. Willis was sitting
and immediately retired.
At the expiration of half an hour he re
sumed with Susan leaning on his arm:
volu i.-m 21,
when she had courtesied very ceremoni*
ously to the ladies, informed tlnm that
she was going to take an airing, and
would not return until late in the even
ing, hut her father could entertain them.
They all instantly rose, without replying
and hurried from th ■ house; each secretly
never again to bestow her attention ou
one whom she knew to lie unworthy of
them.
Air. \\ illis was a plain honest man,
and did not altogether like the proceed
ings ol the dtiy; hut his daughter whs old
enough to act for ersclf, as .-h us and
to tell him when he essayed to give her ad
vice.
About this time a covere ! carriage ar
rived in the village, and the three stran
gers al ghted from it T't.<-v ««i« seen
conversing with some of the inhabitants,
when they proceeded to the house of Mr.
Willis, and returned, having the city beau
in close custody, they conveyed him to
the jail for safe keeping, until they should
depart. It appeared that he was rot on
ly a married man and a bankrupt, but had
put his hand on other goods, for which
crime he was now arrested.
This was a mighty blow to Miss Susan.
The village girls of course laughed a lit
tle about the wedding party which was
to come from the city, and also hinted a
bout the waiting maid and the dress Ike
the sun; hut all this did not harm poor
**usaa she had other and heavier troub
les.
Matty weeks passed away, and she was
seen by no one except her kindred, and
they spoko doubtfully of her recovery
from the dreadful shock she had received.
At length, however she appeared again;
but it was such a look of humble pride,
that not even her di-rest enemy felt a dis
position to upbraid her, or laugh at her
misfortunes. Now she remembered with
agony the first oiler, and thought she was
pursued by the judgments of Heaven for
her treatment of the faithful Edward. She
had loved him, and had not her pride and
love of admiration been so great, slit cer
tainly would have married him in prefer
ence to all the world beside.
Her mind was occupied with these
thoughts one day, when who should en
ter the parlor, hut Edward himself. A
faint ray of hope crossed her bosom at the
sight of him; hut when she remembered
the scenes that had occurred, since she
there last n" -‘ J ‘ l burst into
a Rood of tears. He approached and
seated himself near her, inquired in a
voice, not of reproach, but pity how she
enjoyed herself since they had last con
versed together. She freely confessed all
her folly and acknowledged that she had
felt deeply condemned for her conduct
towards hims If. “Then,” replied he,
with a bitter smile, “you have learned
that the sincere affection of a poor me
chanic, is no! to be despised.
llis words cut her to the heart, and she
entreated hint to forbear. “1 have ever
prayed for your happiness, Susan,” he
said, looking in her face, with an expres
sion of tenderness, that induced her for
a moment to believe he would forget her
faults, and his former affection would re
turn. But when the hearts fervent hope has
been broken, and its best and most intense
feelings suddenly wrecked, it is like a
blasted tree, scared with the high light
ning of heaven, and can never again he
verdant! Edward felt sensible of this, and
although he could freely pity and forgive
the repenting fa.r one; he could never love
or trust her more.
After giving her some salutary advice,
he left her to the bitterest reflections, that
it is easier to lose than regain a lover.
Some months after, he married again,
and his second choice was in no way in
ferior to the first. Poor Susan’s cup of
disappointment, was now full, for she had
all along secretly indulged the hope that
she should yet win him hack to her love.
She lived a solitary being in her father’s
house until she had gained the hopeless
age of thirty-five, when rather than bear
the stigma of an old maid, she married a
widower without fortune, good nature, or
any thing else to recommend him, except
an ugly person, and a large family of
small children.
It was now, that the unhappy Susan
began to feel in reality the consequences,
of her first errors, poverty and the unkind
ness of her sorrows; yet she sometimes
thought if she could forget the past, she
should he comparatively happy. Fre
quently when the carriage of Edward
Littleton passed, she would retire and
weep, until the faculties of life seemed al
most suspended.
At length she left her hussand, and re
turned to her father’s house, where she
passed the remainder of her days. Ev
er after, when conversing with young peo
ple on the subject of matrimony, she
would sav wttha hea y look; “Look well
TO THE FIRST OFFER.”
