I*ol* I* IN G THE QUESTION .
BY HARRY DAXFOKTH.
We have a dear liliie cousin—half
rose-bud, half lily!—who teases us, when
ever we meet, to tell her how the ques
lion is popped. She is but fourteen, hut
in these days, between hoarding schools
and bails, girls of that ago are as know
ing as their grandmotheis were at twenty.
We suppose she wishes to leant in time, i
so as to he ready for the first chance that
offers. Dear girl! she little imagines that
the question usually pops itselt. Young j
folks require no aid in such pleasant
emergencies—onlv give two lovers fair
play, and send your match-making aunts
and the children to Coventry—and our
word for it, some evening, when It-.isi ex
-7
pected, the question will pop out like a
cork from a champagne bottle. We \
would give our fair cousin s me instruc
tions if wo could; but she would proha. j
hly forget them all, and find her heart in
her throat besides, when the question
came to hes popped to herself. So we will
content ourselves with a story which she j
may think true or not, as she likes.
Kate Spencer was one ol your delicious
little vixens that steal away the heart
with a merry laugh a pair of bright eyes, 1
or an hour of playful raillery. She was
a hit of a flirt, a.> indeed, what girl named
Kate is not? There’s a fatality about that
cognomen. Every Kale 1 have known |
has taken to coquetting, as naturally as
u cat to canary birds.
Kate Spencer was a witching creature.
If you could have seen tier bounding
across lire lawn, or gathering wild flowers |
to adorn her hair, or heard her warbling
some merry lay in the morning, y< u
would have worshipped her as you would
worship a Rosalind, or an Ariel, for she
seemed a compound of both. At love she
laughed : ‘it was a trap for fools,’ she
said. But people who make traps, some
times are the first to full into them.
Kate was in her eighteenth summer,
when her bosom friend, Lucy Wharton, !
was married, ami Kate was bridesmaid.
Her partner, Harry Neville, was a fine,
dashing fellow, with a pretty estat°, and
a commission in the arrnv. He and Kate
were well matched!. He cared no more
for her raillery than fur a Mexican bat
tery; and, in fact, her wit was to his, like
the trumpet to the war-horse. It does |
one good to see a passage of arms be
tween them! But being bridesmaid and
groomsman is a dangerous recreation.—
Marrying, like the yellow lever, is an in
fectious disease, and one never catches it j
so quickly as at another’s wedding. If
1 was a young bachelor, and wished to re
main one, 1 would run to the world’s end,
rather than wait on a pretty girl. You
may picnic with a seraph, or sleigh w ith
a houri, but be no groomsman with a sen
sible girl like Kate Spencer was. Harry
Neville, however, was bomb-proof, to
such things; at least, he considered him
self so, and had been hitherto. Besides!
he had been told Kale was a flirt, and bo
was on his guard.
And how was it with Kate? Dear coz!
have you ever seen a flirtation begun in
fun, and ended in earnest? Kate was
flattered by having a partner like Harry
Neville, and put forth all her powers of
pleasing, resolute to bring the flirtation
to a close before there was danger; but
flirtations, like thorough-breds, sometimes
run away w ith you; and so, at a week’s
end, what between the customary atten- i
lions of a groomsman, and a something
peculiar to Harry, Kate began to be in
terested in her companion more than she
chose to confess.
The wedding was held in the country,
in the midst of a rich district, and for sev. .
eral weeks the young couple were in
volved in a round of entertainments.—
Ciive me a country wedding after all!
There are long rides, tete-a-tete by moon
light—the spending dull hours in flirta
tion with your partner —the boating par
ties, the rambles through the woods, the
summer evenings beneath the arbor in
the garden, and a hundred other things,
which town folks who gel married at day
break, and then race over half the States
for a month, have no more idea of than a
lap-dog has of moonlight.
4 And so, insensibly, love stole upon
Neville was not a mure wit, any ,
: more than herself, and often, laying aside
his raillery, he would indulge the natural
enthusiasm of his character, until he
paused finally at his own imj assioned
words. At such times Kate would sit, long
after going to her chamber, unconscious
ly gazing up at the calm, still sky : hut
her thoughts would lie on Neville; and
these reveries ended with a sigh.
A woman in love, whether flirt or not,
is often blind; nor would Kate discover if
Neville loved her or not. At timestliere
was that in his tones that made her heart
thrill: but if the mo.-st ordinary acquain
tance would approach, Neville always
sauntered awav indifferently, with some
gay lemark. Kate chided her own weak
ness, hut in vain: absence is the only cure
for such a passion, and ihe wedding par
ties were }et not half over. She feared !
Neville was a flirt, because she had been
one herself, and many an unhappy hour
siie spent in secret, angry at herself, at
him, and at the world.
In such a mood she was when called on
to dress fur a hall at the hoii'C of their en
tertainers, Kate entered the room on i
Nevill’s arm. but he iVnmediately left her
side to addi ess a beautiful giil who was
silting opposite.
‘Ah!’ she heard two gentlemen sav, who
were ignorant of her vicinity, -Neville ;
has found Miss Bunion out already, and j
that gives color to the report that they are
engaged. She is a splendid match beau
tiful, 'icli, and from a g> od old Virginia
! family!’
‘Oh! 1 learnt, at Washington, this win
ter, that they were certainly engaged,’ :
was the reply.
Kale heard no more. Offended pride, 1
; combined w ish anger at herself, almost
I n
took away her self command: and she was
gieatlv relieved when a gentleman ap- I
i proached just as the music struck up, and :
u>ked her to dance. She look his bund
and vvas led out.
‘Excuse me,’ said Neville, accosting
her companion, ‘but I believe Miss Spen
cer is engaged to me, this set. I appeal
j to her.’
‘She shall decide,’ said her partner,
j blandly.
Kale remembered well theengagement,
i but site was vexed, and rejoiced at this op
portunity for levenge: accordingly she
! said pointedly,
‘I shall dance with Mr. Morton. You j
know, Mr. Neville, it is not always easy I
to remember whether one has made pro- i
misesor not, when one is plagued out of j
one’s life tor them.’
Neville’s haughty face flushed as he |
howfd coldly without reply. Kate had
no sooner spoken than she felt ashamed |
o( her rudeness, indeed almo.-t terrified |
at what she bad done; but s*he gave no out- !
j ward sign of tin’s; and when, during the i
, evening, she met Neville, she relumed !
his cold salutations as coldly as they were |
given. She did this, too, even afier she 1
bad beard that Miss Benton was not en- I
gaged to him, but about to be married to
aim her—such a strange tiling is human
pride!
•What have you done to Mr, Neville?’
said the bride to her. ‘I bear yon were
J quite rude to him. Ah! Kate, will you
never have done jilting belter men than ■
yon deserve?’
Kate fell cut to the quick at this re- ;
preach. She turned crimson. Yet she |
replied,
‘Study I am not accountable to Mr,
Neville for my conduct! I may even
j break a promise to dance, 1 hope, without !
treason: it is considered no great crime to
break a betrothal now.a days. The gen
tlemen grow presuming, when they com-
I plain to one’s friends,’
‘Mr. Neville lias made no complaint to
me: be is 100 proud to do so,’ said her
friend gravely. ‘But my husband over
beard your conversation. Now, Kate, 1
know yon are ashamed of what you have
done: he frank and apologize for your
rudeness.’
Kale’s eyes flashed haughtily.
‘Nay?’said her friend. ‘Refuse or ac
cept a lover as you will; but never be
unlady like.’
Her friend had spoken frankly; and
the words were not without their power,
for Kate had a noble heart. After a mo
ment’s pause, she saw Mr. Neville, who j
was at the other end of the room, step out j
into the balcony, which overlooked the
garden, lie was alone. She comd ,
never have a belter opportunity. She
would apologize, she said, and then be
colder than ever. Without a word, but
only giving a glance at her friend, Kate
crossed the apartment and followed him.
She hesitated a moment: then laid her
hand on ids arm, still holding the curtains j
half open behind her. He started ab- j
ruptly, for be had been plunged in moody ,
, thought.
‘Mr. Neville,’ she said, in a low tone,
‘1 believe I was rude to you just now.
Excuse me '
She could proceed no further, with a
look of wonder and delight, Neville turned j
around, clasped her hand, and interrupted !
her:
‘Say nothing of it, dear Miss Spencer,’ ;
he said: then, embarrassed by the w armth ,
into which he had been surprised, he j
stammered,‘this surprises me—l did not
think you would do it—noble, generous
j creature!*
i Kate was agitated violently. Theea- !
I geroess ol her companion had drawn her
i away from the window; the curtain had
| dropped, and her hand remained and
trembled in that of Neville. Thus she
| stood for a second.
‘I love you,’continued Neville breath
lessly. ‘But dare scarcely hope. \ou
are above your sex—and will be generous
to me. 1 have long loved you. Tell me
I may hope.’
‘Do not ask me, at least now,’ said
Kate, in a low, entreating tone, speaking
with great difficulty, and in much agita
tion: and she lifted her eyes pleadingly to
those of Neville’s as she sought to with
er
draw her hand from his.
Neville could have clasped her in his
arms, for his whole frame thrilled with the
assurance of love which that look gave;
but delicately bowing over it, he released
the fair hand; and Kate, like a frightened
! deer, darted away, and hurrying to her
chamber, locked her door and burst into
tears.
Numerous were the inquiries made for
Kate, but Neville had whispered to the
' bride that Miss Spencer had retired with
j a violent headache; and no one knew the
, truth till many months after—if they even
knew it then—when Neville stood np at
the altar with Kate, and they mutually ex
changed those vows that cease only with
life.
And in this wav—dear coz!—did 1
Harry Neville pop the question!

The Superintendent and the Senator's
Daughter. —The Anglo Saxon propensi
: tv for thieving and mutillation betrays it
self among the flowers in the garden of
the Capitol at Washington. A letter to
the Evening Mirror tells the following
characteristic anecdote:
'Fhe Capitol Garden looks blooming
and promising, under the management of
the incomparable Jimmy Maher.-* 1 am
sorry to say that Jimmy’s temper is mo ;
often put to the lest, by the ladies and
daughters of the members, who think
nothing at all of plundering the garden of
its choicest flowers. It often happens that
the fruits of his eare and solicitude for
many weeks are destroyed at one fell ;
swoop, by some wilful dame or Miss.—
The other evening a young lady, the .
daughter of one of the grave and reverend j
Suignors who compose the Senatorial
body, made a descent upon some of the
rarest specimens of Jimmy’s horticultu
ral skill. The outraged gardener re
monstrated—ptomised to give her flowers, j
as soon as they become a little more ad
vanced, and politely insisted upon pre
venting any more piracy of the kind.—
Now Jimmy is a jewel of a fellow—a jol- !
ly good tempered hishman. Elis heart is
; soft and mealy as an Irish potatoe: but
| he has some tender points, and a deep and
j enthusiastic affection for his (lowers is one
1 of them.
‘•Sir,”said the indignant Miss, bridling
up with at) air of imposing majesty, you ;
i don't know who you're talking to!
! This was a slur upon Jimmy’s official
independence. It was too much for him.
•‘No,” he bawled, “1 don’t know who
you are Miss, and he Got!’ lie added
snapping his fingers, “/Ae devil a lit do I

The lesson, it is hoped, will not be

A Cooler to Vanity. — Christopher
; North rebukes inordinate self-esteem in
young orators by telling a story like the
following:
A certain young clergyman, who was
i by no means disposed to underrate the
| power of his eloquence, having been in
! vited to preach in a neighboring parish, I
! complied. While preaching, we noticed
that otte of his audience, an interesting
looking woman in mourning attire, ap- i
pea red to he deeply affected. The young i
: man, w'hen service was over, spoke much
to the minister of the parish about the :
case with evident gratification at the j
powerful effect of his discourse, and pro
posed visiting the distressed hearer at
once at her own house. This was ac
ceded to. and having called upon her, the
young man opened the conversation. “I
: perceived my dear friend,” said he, “that
! you seemed to feel very much under my
discourse this morning; will you give us
some account of the exercises of your
mind?”—“Ah!” said the woman, “I did
indeed feel very much as you say. You j
must know, sir, that I am a poor lone
widow. I had a good husband, and every
week, he and I would fake the old ass,
with our little raising from the garden,
I and by our sales could raise enough to
keep us comfortable. But 3 years a^o
r •*
my man died, and then I had to go alone |
and do the best I could, with the help of
the good old beast. But a year ago mv
! dear old ass died too, (here she burst into I
tears) and here 1 have been alone ever
since; and this morning, she continued
| sobbing, when I went to church and heard
your voice, it sounded so much like the
| deer old ass, that I could'nt help crying,
indeed I could’ul! 800, hoo, hoo!”— Par.

INTERESTING INCIDENT.
Extract of a letter dated
Bedford Springs, Penn., )
A iigust 5,1 S IG. \ ■
An incident has just occurred here
which displays in so striking a view the
offensive intermeddling of fanatical Abo
litionism and the true relation of master
and servant in the Southern States, that
I will take the liberty of relating it to you.
Chas. Jas Faulkner. Esq., of Virginia,
who with his family has been hereabout
two weeks, brought with him a very likely
female slave, aged about 2i) years, as a
maid. The girl had not arrived more
than a few hours a lien the fact that she
was a slave became generally known, and
the spirit of a false philanthropy awaken
ed in her behalf. From that in >ment the
most unceasing efforts, all secretly con
ducted, were made to seduce her from her
allegiance to her master, notwithstanding
her prompt and repeated rejection of the
liberal otters made to secure bet freedom.
For four nights in succession they had
their horses .stationed near the mill, about
i a quarter of a mile from the Springs, in
i the expectation that she would yield to
! their persuasions, but so far without sue- I
cess. At length the poor girl, overpow.
i ered by their importunities and by the
i false and delusive arguments and induce, j
: menls which they held out to her, on Mon- I
day night yielded to the temptation and
suffered herself to be conveyed bv them
' some ten miles beyond the town of Bed find
to a place called •'■the Quaker settlement,”
where she arrived about one o’clock in
the morning, and found the family waiting
to receive her, who hailed her as a re
deemed sister and showered upon her
profusely all the hospitalities of their
home. She had, however, no sooner
retired to rest than the fountains of her |
feelings burst forth in a flood of tears,
which increased as her memory dwelt
upon the happy and contented life which j
she had led, under the roof of her owners, |
and when she reflected upon the dark and
uncertain fate to which these false and |
misguided philanthropists were hurrying
her. She spent a night of the deepest
anguUh and distress of mind. Early the
next morning she apprized the family of j
her fixed and settled determination to re
turn that day to her master; wherupon !
money was freely offered to her, the pros
peel of a sale by iter master, if she now
returned, held out, and every argument ;
and inducement redoubled to prevail upon
her to remain. But she was inexoiable.
Her master end mistress were to leave
the Springs the next day, and she deter
mined to return to them before they de
parted. The Abolitionists exercised no
violence in detaining Iter, hut refused to
afford her any facilities for iter return.
iSiie accordingly took up her baggage, and
without a guide to direct her steps through
the endless liiiis and mountains of Bed
ford, she reached here last night about
twelve o’clock, faint and exhausted from *
fatigue. Site immediately ru-lit.d up to
the room of her master and mistress, and ,
begged that the indiscretion which she
had committed in leaving them might be
overlooked. She was kindly received, i
and her master was so highly pleased
with her resolute resistance of the wiles
of the abolitionists, that he tendered to
her,ifshe had any wish to leave his fami
j ly, her freedom and* money to defray her
I expenses to any part of the .State of Penn
sylvania where she might u ish to reside. !
But she promptly declined the offer, and
declared that no consideration should !
ever tear her from a family from which
site had received such uniform kindness,
and to which she looked up without fear .
for protection and comfort, in all the ad
verse circumstances of life.
You may well imagine that this little
incident created quite a sensation at the
Springs. . We had here this morning 1
about 240 visiters. A large number left
to-day; and others have since arrived.
“What pen can portray a mother’s
love!—So pure, so holy, so utter!v free
from self! A mother’s grief, when the
offspring of her heart, 1 ilce a lily bro
ken from its stem, has withered, drooped,
and died! A mother’s anguish, as she
follows with measured tread the little
cofftu that contains her blighted bud to
that home which shuts it forever from her
sight! A mother’s horror when the first
spade full of earth falls like molten lead
upon her heart, and she leans convulsively
forward to catch the last glimpse of its
wooden tenement, yearning, oh! how deep- I
ly, to clasp it once in her arms, even in
the cold embrace of death! Happy, most i
happy, if the spirit of a crucified Redeem- i
er has erected his altar in that heart that
its chords may vibrate with the softest
breathing, murmuring to her loneliness,
“suffer little children to come unto me,
for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”
A Squadron of Disappointed Lovers. —
It having been stated that the reason why
Capt. May wears long hair and beard, is |
on account of a disappointment in love,
the New Orleans Tropic says, by a sin
gular coincidence, every man attached to
May’s command is afflicted in the same
way, as they all have, more or less, long
hair and long beards. Such a brave set
of disappointed lovers we think never be
fore got together; they stand up against
their wounded hearts most manfully, and
they seem likely to get through with them
i without much ultimate injury.
-* n Anecdote. —There formerly resided
in the c:tv of A , a Monsieur D., a
matt of great wealth, but who was ever
getting into difficulty when he found it
necessary to make nn investment. His
temperament being decided!v nervous,
mai, 3 were the tricks plaved upon him.
On one occasion he had come to the con-
CiuMon that hank stock was precarious
pi ope rty to lio.d, railroad noise, and in
: sura nee stock he wouldti l have no how.
Arriving at this point, lie resolved to
leave his spare funds w-ith a Mr, G. for
safe keeping. Accordingly he called
upon him and made a deposile of ten
thousand dollars. Mr. G. received it with
reluctance, but informed Monsieur D.
that it he should have occasion tor the
money he must give him a few days no
tice. Some six months had elapsed, aid
ail things were moving on smoothly so
iur as the !• renchrnan’s money was con
cerned, u hen a company of voting men
were seen to enter the City Hotel, and on
ooserving our nervous friend one ul them
asked his companion if he had heard of
( Iho failure of Mr, G,, to which they all
simultaneously replied,—can’t be—ini
possible.
The Frenchman sprung from his seat, j
and approaching the party, exclaimed,
“Mon Dieu! what vas 1 hear? mv friend,
Mr. (a. failed, broke into small pieces.—
Den lam ruin myself—l am use all up—
-1 am broke into ten thousand leetle pieces.
I Mr. G., owe mo ten thousand dollar.—
Ob, nion Dieu! vat shall 1 do? I shall
break my neck several times in getting
dare in five minutes,” With this lie
started off for Mr. G’s. counting room,
r> 7
where he arrived nearly out of breath, j
despairotrhis countenance, and trembling i
j from head to foot, Mr. G. was astonished
at the man’s haggard look, and begged i
him to he seated. But no—no seat for
him—“money was his suit.” At last re
| Covering himself, he said, “Ah my friend,
1 hear you fail. What for you fail when :
you oive me ten thousand dollar? Why
: you no tell me yesterday you fail to-day ?”
By this time Mr. G. saw through the |
trick, and informed Mens. D. he would :
give him a check for the amount. At
this the Frenchman was more astonished
than before, and exclaimed, “Ah, you got |
him? en bien?” If you got him, 1 don't
want him, hut it" you have not got him, I
must have him.”
Hard to Tell. —An exchange paper j
says it is as hard to lei! where moderate ■
drinking ends and drunkenness begins, as j
it is lo tell wiien a pig ceases to be a pig |
and becomes a hog.
