One fair morning in June, Albert Fair child selected from Hits vvardrobd a most beautiliil suit, and frotu his bureau a goodly supply of linen,' and with a countenance glowin'? with joyful anticipation, com menced packing a capacious valise, and making other preparations for a journey. Mr. Albeit Fairchild was going to visit a young lady, of whom it is necessary that we should sa v a. lew words, before proceed ing with our story. Josephine Marvin resided with her pa rents in a village which we shall call Pekin, in ordei uoi lo «>iv* i!• 1 the modesty of its in habitants, by using Ihe real name of the lo cality ; and out <>f the village she had never journeyed far, except on three occasions.— iShc had made three visits to relations in town, with whom she had spent mouths at a time Here Mr. Albert Fairchild saw her, admired her, and ended by loving her de votedly. Safished with Ids beauty and ex cellence, Albert offered her bis hand; but she saiil, “ You must conic and see me at my home, and become acquainted with my parents, before exacting an engagement from me; for it may be you will not like them, and it is possible that they may not fancy you; in either ease, I shall hesitate to accept your gracious oiler.” Miss Marvin had returned to Pekin, and now, as already stated, Albert was intend ing to visit her family. Confident that Jose phine was inclined to favor his suit, and blessed with a tolerably good opinion of himself, which told him that Marvin would not probably object to either his station in life or his personal appearance, Albert set out upon his journey in excellent spirits. The lirst forty miles of his journey Albert accomplished by railway steal it, in the space of two hours. At a small town in the count ry he found himself compelled to wait for a coach, to cbnvey him to the village of Pekin. Impatient to proceed, Albert became ill humored, and grumbled at the necessary delay. To while away the time, he drank a cup of eolfee, ate a penny’s worth of pea nuts. read a few paragraphs in a newspa per, and walked Lite parlor floor of ihe wretched inn with Impatient strides. “ Arc you going to Pekin ?” asked a quick voice. Albert glanced at the speaker, who was a middle aged gent leman in a loose drab coat, a well developed waistcoat of worn and failed velvet, and a.hat that had evidently been useful for years ; and who presented a rough and careless appearance altogether. Now Albert had one fault, which is a common one with travelers. He had no intention of making himself sociable, or even civil, in the company of strangers. If an unknown person asked him a question in the politest manner, he was sure to answer shortly, or give no answer at all.— Moreover, Albert’s motto when traveling, was, “ Every one for himself,” and this, lie made his invariable rule of action. A pro posal to put himself out of the way to ac commodate a stranger he would have ridi culed as the height of absurdity. Knowing the disposition of our hero, the rentier will not be surprised when told that Albert, instead of giving a simple afllrma ti.ve answer, or even a responsive nod, re garded the rough looking man a moment, iu silent disdain, and passed on without a word. But the old gentleman with the drab coat and faded velvet waistcoat, in spite of his rough appearance, evidently possessed a patient and good natu red disposition, which was not easily disturbed. Without appear ing to notice Albert’s incivility lie quietly remarked, as he came in his way again— “ You are going to Pekin, I should judge V” “ What if 1 am i" growled Albert. “ Oh, nothing,” answered the old gentle man, with a good-natured smile—“only I’d advise you to book your name for a scat in the stage at once, if you have not done so; lor 1 have no doubt that there will be half a dozen more passengers than thefeoach cau accommodate.” Now Albert had not booked his name, and he ought to have thanked the old gen tleman for his suggestion. 80 far, how ever, from manifesting any sense of obliga tion, he replied with an insulting “ Hem 1” and abruptly turned upon his heel. In effect, Albert found that there was but one seat in the .stage coach left unengaged, and tiiat an outside one, and he had scarce ly booked his name when two other gentle men came up in haste, manifesting much At# ♦ - 4 A 4+ 4 4 ♦ &+ 'i en-ttlcckln Konstitutiotumsi disappointment oii learning that there was not room for them in the next -stage. Al bert was therefore fully conscious that he owed Ids chance to the old gentleman whom lie had treated so rudelv. Albert placed his valise on the floor in the public room, and lighting a cigar, sat down by his property to beguile his impa tience with asmoke. He had not been thus employed long when the gentleman iu the velvet waistcoat came and sat down by his right hand. Albert looked at him through wreaths oi smoke, iis if the old gentleman had Wen nothing but smoke himself, of the most disagreeable quality; and puffed away without noticing him further. “ Will .von be so good as to give me the time, sir t civilly asked the old gentleman, glancing at Albert’s showv fob chain “(live you what?” muttered Albert, as if lie had not understood—at the same time putting a volume of smoke iu the good hu mored face of the old gentleman. “ Tiie time, if you please, sir. Is it eleven o’clock ?” “ I don’t, know,” replied Albert, without deigning to look at hiS watch. A moment after the young man moved his chair to'another part of the room, and sat down with his back turned towards the drab coat and velvet waistcoat. Flic stage coach drove up shortly after, and having discharged its passengers and changed horses, made ready for the return route to Pekin. Albert and another traveler occupied a Seat designed to accommodate three, direct ly behind the driver. Both were slender men, yet they managed to spread them selves, so as to give the seat the appearance 01 being full. The stage was nearly ready to depart, when the old gentleman in the drab coat came out of the tavern with a heavy carpet bag in his hand, and looked inquiringly At the outside passengers. “ Room for another up there ?”' lie asked, smiling at Albert. “We’re crowded now,” responded the young man sharply. “ You will have to get them up, sir,” ob served the driver, addressing the drab coat. “ That scat ought to accommodate three !” “ Then T suppose 1 must take my chance with the rest of you,” cried the old gentle man with a good-liuniored laugh, as lie climbed up the stage. “Sorry, young gen tleman, to trouble you to make loom,” he added, when neither Albert nor the oth er traveler attempted to move. “ 11a! tight fit, isn’t it?” The old gentleman, who, as we have al ready intimated, was rather corpulent, ap peared to take no notice of the young men’s unaccommodating manners, but set tled slowly and deliberately upon the seat between them, compelling them, in order to avoid an unpleasant pressure, to contract, their dimensions and give them his share of the room. “This is an imposition!” cried Albert to the driver. “ What is an imposition?” “ Look for yourself. This seat is too short tor three men of ordinary size, and this corpulent fellow will crush us!” “ Dear me ! 1 hope not !” exclaimed the old gentleman. “ 1 shouldn’t like to do that, I declare ! lint it’s a close lit, isn’t it? Ha! ha ! too much liesli is inconve nient to be sure.” “ Men over twenty-six inches broad should buy two seats,” muttered Albert. “ Ha ! ha !” laughed the good humored traveler, “ I don’t know but we fat fel lows ought to pay for the extra room we occupy.” “ You ought to have some regard for other travelers,” said Albert, advocating a principle, by the way, which he never con sidered himself. “ That, is a fact,” replied the proprietor of the velvet waistcoat. “ V\ r c have no right, to disregard tfie feelings of others. I believe 1 mustcUel, my ,( ornuleijcy for t!u benefit of society. But we will be obliged to get along the best way we can to-day, tor my substance is rather solid. Ah ! Tin sorry to discommode you. 1 only wish, for your sake, I was smaller.” This last remark was followed by a good natured laugh from all the outside passen gers, except Albert, who had become most decidedly sullen. Tlie stage couch now rolled heavily off with its loail, the driver crack i11.:.;' Ids Ion;? Whip, and urging the horses into a rapid pace. For some time neither ot the out siders spoke, each appearin'? busy with his own thoughts. At. length, the old gentle man in the drab coat, whose patience, it seemed, nothing could exhaust, and whose even temper nothing could ruffle, remarked, addressing himself to Albert. : “This is really a fllie day, sir. Were you ever in this part of the country be fore ?” “ No,” was the abrupt reply. “Don’t you think it is a tine region? Observe those hilts, which the spring ha.-, spread with green carpets ; and remark how beautiful yonder forest looks in the sun shine 1 This is an excellent soil ibr a variety of agricultural purposes—well watered, as you perceive by a river, which you may see glimmering through yonder clump of tine peach trees.” The only reply that Albert gave to these observations was—we are sorry to say—a real piggish sort, of grunt.! “You may travel the country through,” pursued the velvet, waistcoat. ; “ and you will not ttnd a more beautiful and fertile district than this.” “ —,” grunted Albert. “ The character of the inhabitants, too, stands high. They arc plain, common sense class of people, but t hey arc distin guished for their hospitality and genuine politeness.” “ !” grunted Albert. “ Wc are now in Pekin,” pursued the old gentleman, after a long pause. “ There is a line tavern over the hill.” These remarks caused Albert to start, but too proud to betray an interest in anything the old gentleman said, he maintained a studied silence. Thus Albert, accomplished his journey. Like too many travelers, he disdained to ap pear sociable towards strangers, little knowing how much useful information is sometimes gained, how much one’s insight, into human nature is improved, liow much good feeling may be cultivated by the use of common and familiar politeness among l>eoplc met in stage coaches and hotels. Arrived at the tavern, Albert, little car ing what became of his excellent friend of the velvet waistcoat and drab coat, leaped off the coach, and ordered the carriage to his new apartments. While dressing him self with great care, the young man forgot his ill humor in the glowing anticipation he entertained of a speedy and happy meeting with Josephine. Having partaken of a slight, repast, lie engaged a Iniggy to trans port, him to Marvin’s residence. The boy, who went with the buggy, drove up lie fore a spacious and elegant white house, which had a remarkable neat and comfortable appearance. “ Tills is Marvin’s,” said the boy; the big gate is locked, or I would drive in, but you can pass up the right, hand path, which will take you to the door.” Albert gave the hoy a shilling, and leaped lightly to the earth, entered the grounds by a smaller gate, and with a beating heart hastened to meet his Josephine. As Albert was passing up the avenue, a circumstance occurred which occasioned considerable mortification. A laboring man, in a slouched hat and tow frock, who was ut work round some young pear trees near the house, turned as the young man approached, and discovered the familiar features of his old friend, the corpulent gen tleman of velvet waistcoat renown. “ Such, thought Albert,” passing on with out deigning to notice the good natured man, “ such is the impudence of the people in the country 1 This common serving man, having by some means got permission to leave his work tor a few hours, gets into respectable company away from home, and endeavors to establish himself on a friendly and sociable footing with gentlemen ? I Now, suppose I had been familiar with him —what a fine thing it would be to meet 1 him in his true capacity ! I wonder if I shall suiter from his impertinence in Mr. Marvin’s house ?” With these thoughts running through his brain, Albert struck the heavy knocker, and brought an Irish girl to the door. He was shown into a neat parlor immediately, Where he had not’long to wait tor Jose phine. To describe the meeting of the lovers would be to write a great many things which it is well enough to say, but which do not sound quite so well repeated to less passionate ears. Sullico iu that both Albert and Josephine were very happy to meet again, and that the former took great de light in praising Mr. Marvin’s residence, while tiie latter was quite as well pleased at having it praised. “ You have really a lovely home —so quiet and tasteful, Josephine,” said Albert; “ and my iieart sinks within me when I think of my audacity to hope you may some day leave it for me ! But your parents—l am anxious to see them.” “ Oh, you shall soon be gratified. I am proud of my parents, .Albert. They are plain people, but so good !” “ Just the sort of people to suit me!” said the enthusiastic lover.” Mrs. Marvin entered presently, and Albert was disappointed. lie immediately set her down as the paragon of elderly ladies, and was admiring her genial countenance and unaffected manners, when Josephine an nounced her father. Albert arose suddenly, and turned to greet the father of his beloved with becom ing. reverence and civility. Reader, O, rea der! can you imagine the young man’s con sternation and despair, when he saw com ing into the door the drab coat, velvet waistcoat, and familiar countenance of his corpulent stage coach acquaintance? “ Mr. Fairchild, father,” said Josephine. Albert felt himself about sinking though the floor. “ I—l lielieve—“ he stammered, “we have —met before.” “ Aii! my young friend of the stage coach ?” exclaimed the old gentleman, giv ing Albert’s hand a hospitable shake. “Cer tainly, we have met before.” This was like heaping coals of fire upon Albert’s bend, llis face burned with shame and liis tongue stammered with con fusion. Making a very awkward and in effectual attempt to say something civil lie sank upon a chair with sick and ghastly looks, which frightened Josephine. “ Indeed,” pursued the old gentleman, as if lie remarked nothing of Albert’s rude ness—“ 1 little anticipated meeting you again so soon. How do you like the ap pearance of Pekin ?” “ Oli, we—well!”—stammered Albert. “Glad to hear it! And the appearance of tiie inhabitants!” “Oh, very—very well!” “ Indeed! 1 was afraid you would have no fancy for us plain people.” Thus tiie old gentleman went on, conver sing in the most easy and amiable manner, as if it was his only study to entertain Ids guest. Albert listened with a faint heart and upbraiding conscience, feeling keenly tiie contrast between the old gentleman’s excellent nature and genuine poiiteuess and his own ill temper and incivility. In a short time Josephine’s parents witii di’evv, and she was left alone with her mis erable lover. Albert threw himself at li r feet, and there, relusing to rise, he confess ed ids ill treatment oi her venerable parent, and besought her both to forgive him and intercede with her father for his pardon.— Astonished and shocked at first, Josephine knew not what to think or say ; but to re lieve the agony of her repentant lover, she took pity on his wretchedness and promised all in asked. Indescribable was Albert’s anxiety of mind until Josephine had seen her father, and the. old gentleman came walking in o the room where the young man was alone. Mr. Marvin’s countenance wore tiie same good-natured smile, which even the inso lent treatment he had received at Albert’s hands could not banish, and frankly extend ing Ids hand lie advanced towards his pros pective son-in-law. “ Well, well,” he exclaimed, before Albert could speak, “the past cannot, be recalled, and 1 suppose the less said about it the better. For my own part 1 freely forgive the rather inigentlemanly manner you used towards me. In find, I care nothing for it now ; yet 1 must say that it gives me pain to think that you are in the habit of giving way to ill-natured'feeling while traveling. Don’t speak! I know what you would say. You are not always uncivil. 1 readily be lieve it. But like so many young people, you think that while traveling you owe no man politeness, and ought neither to grant nor receive favors.” “Oh ! but after tills lesson, sir—” “ You will act more like a sensible man. I believe it. But now I confess that Tam a little to blame in this matter. I knew you at the first from Josephine’s descrip tion. You can perhaps imagine my motive for persecuting you with my unwelcomed society.” “Oh ! my dear sir !” cried the tortured Albert. “Ah ! ha ! It isn’t a very bad joke after all!” cried tiie old gentleman, his velvet waistcoat undulating with his peculiar hap py laugh. “Conic! cornel don’t look gloomy now. 1 tell you the past is for given—lint mind ye musn’t forgot it. You must learn not to turn the cold shoulder to corpulent old gentlemen you meet in strange places, even though always as disagreeable as the one you met to-day. Ha! lia! Let’s have a good hearty laugh at the affair, and say no more about it.” In his gratitude for the kindness with which the old gentleman paid his ill treat ment, Albert kissed his hand with tears glistening in his eyes. Josephine entered presently, followed by her mother, and iu half an hour Mr. Marvin was showing Al bert about liis farm, and all were as happy as if no unpleasant occurrence had ever troubled their minds. In a week Albert returned to town, a hap pier, wiser, better man. He had gained the consent of Josephine’s parents to his mar riage with the girl of liis choice, and the wedding day was appointed. For this and other good reasons Albert’s heart was over flowing with joy. In conclusion, we may remark that on his journey home Albert attracted general at tention and won the good will and esteem of everybody by the respect and civility of his deportment towards liis fellow travel ers.
