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.” From an old English Magazine, of 1757. TIIF.
