A LADY'S HEAET TO LET.
To nse her own esrpression, Miss Tabitha Backram conid not "abide" thatlAi. Yiokery. Thai Mr. Yickerj was a bachelor, vergiog npon forty-five, cf & retired and perfeotly in¬ offensive disposition; who lodged in a very white honse, with green blinds, overlooking }Iamp3tead Heath. Hia maeans were snffio- ient; his tastes simple. Hia name was Jere¬ miah—He wore verv high and stiff mnslin neck-ties, inall weathers; took the Gentle. man^s Magazine^ and looked npon a day's fishiag ont of a pnnt at Teddington Lock as apiece of wild exoltemeat, only to be indalg¬ ed in npon great and distant occasions. The fact was, that Mr. Vickery had been kept bo closely at work, dnring the early part of his life, if the well known establishment of Messrs. Griudbam and Shoddy, the eminent Manohes¬ ter warebonsemen of Cannon street, by the time he had scraped togetber sufficient to re¬ tire comfortably, and bad quitted the bnsiness, he had not the slightest idea how to spend his hard earned savings. He was a very harmless old party (I nae the word advisedly,) was Vickery—a very hamlesa old party in¬ deed.
Miss Tabitha Backram was a gashing thing of—-(I am not breaking confidence, for she has opeuly stated it for the last twelve years,^ —twenty-nine. She had been a leetle faat onoe npon a time, if acandalons people are to be believed, bat she had long f^iven ap all levity of condact, dressed demurely, affeoteJ evangelical tea parties, and had an eye apon otirates generaUy. She resided not very far from Mr. Vickery, and the origin of her dis¬ like for that worthey old sonl, in plaui Saxon, was this—that he woald not marry her. Not that Bhe had asked him in so many worda to do so, bat by her demeano'r and condact she had given him to nnderstand—as had many other elderly single gentlemen—that, as far as Bhe knew, there was no lawfnl impediment in the way of their immediate union. Poor Miss Backram was desperate; her friends, tbe parsons, wedded pretty yonng girls—a knack they have—and the waiy elderly aingie gen- tlemea woald not be caught. She set her cap at our simple old friend ; bnt he, being too atapid, or too wise, or too aomething elae, to fall into her anares, kept out of them. Thus abe remained a spinster, and he a bach¬ elor, whom she could not abide.
It was not from any affection for aingie bles- aednes, in the abstract that Mr. Vickery re-, mained in his present solitary position. "Sin-: gle blessedessi" he was beard to exolalA, when the washerwoman sent home half a dozen of his shirts, having-only seven but-* tona between them—single cussedness I I oall it." Marriage, then, did enter into his ' head more than onoe, bat only to come out ol* itaa he reviewed bis scrubby locks and ample waistcoat in the glass. "Ah," he would aay with a grant, (fat single gentlemen don't aigh,) I was too basy to think about it when I waa young, and—bless my aonl I who'd have me now ?" Plenty of people, Mr. Vick¬ ery—scores and scores of girls—including Misa Tabilha Backram, who cau't " abide yoa; for you are a cherry hearted old fellow, and per¬ haps what is more to the pnrpose, a '* warm old boy" and a sly old fellow I . Mr. Vickery 1 —who ia it for, Jeremiah f Why don't yoa bay an annuity with itl out lodgings, and have a house of your own, eh—^Who are yon going to leave it to, old boy?—Me—or the Prince of Wales—or the Hay Fever Hospital, orThorneley's Mag, or the Talking Fish, or who ? You have neither ohick, nor ohild, nor rei—Stopl I'm wrong. There's Jack Vesper —the idea of forgetting Jack.
Jack was the only eon of Mr.   Vickery*a youngest sister.   His mother and father were dead—long dead;   and  hia uncle was dnly nominated his guardian.   Gnardian! Ha I hal Why, at seventeen Jack knew  raore  of the world, and its ina and outs, and the good, bad, and indifferent people, and placea upon it, tban my deal old friend will ever know, sbouid he live^ be two hundred. Jack had been brooght ap as a civil engineer,  and was doing very well; he had chambers in Clement's inn, where he led a bachelor life,  very different to his guardian's qniet vegetation in Prospect Honse. A mighty man was Jack ; he could color you a olay pipe as black as yonr hat (if it is a black one) in two days; he oonld win five  ponnds of you at a pyramid pool before you knew where yoa were; he oould chaff any number of cabbies, hargies,   or  linkmen blind.    Bat where he comes out strongest, to toy mind, ia at children's partiea.   He is six feet high is Jack, and as handsome a fellow as yoa could find in a day's march, but he is not above playing with the little ones—not he I He will make himself into a bear, with a great rough ooat that he has, and be led about all-fours by the boya.   He will danoa with the little girls, doing all his steps, holding up his troaaera as they do thebr frocks.   He will wrap himself up in  a crimson table-cloth—put the worsted work-pillow on his  head, and be & conjuror, and right down well he oan oonjare, too.   He will play overtures on a penny trumpet; make shadow figures on the wall;  act charades; dxesa up as an old norse, and say he haa oome for Miss Tomkina; make apple caudles that will barn; cnt ap oranges into all eorta of shapes, from an elegant passion flower spread out on a plate, to a likeness of au old gentle¬ man very ill on board a Boulogne steamboat* with a napkhi over hia head—besides doing a dozen other pleasant thhigs, tbat I have not time to enumerate. At grown-up partie8,'Ja6k •ia very demure; he has a steady, resolute way of dancing.   Jack's partner la never hurt in the wildest gallopade. Jack never mna aganst otber people, and other people after they hare onoa ttied it, do not mn agidnst Jftok. Watch him about half.past twelve o'oiook, when sup- per wSl Bpoa h* annoimdea, and If ttt* girl h»
bi danolng with is liot the prettiegttn the room, I'U be'boand Oui iM the hJowt. ' Jaiok Is zeady ¦nd reitolate, as I haTe said; but 'somehow or other,,there is never room for Jiim and his tNutner at uie regalar table. He is obliged to lodge^ her in some ooroez. by the dumb waiter, where she oannot get out, and, where nobody hathlmself (ob, sly Jaokl) can get at her.— Then he will say all sorts of pretty things tb ber, with his hack to the oompany, so that they cannot see the expression of hjs face— not forgetting creature comforts the whilej Jack never leavea her side to strnggle after plates and dishes, over {people's heads, and between tbeir shoulders—spilling-wine, and -upsetting plates ot trifles down their necks.— No, no. He is very oomfortable where he is, and does not intend to move. He will tip a waiter a wink—perhaps something else—and that waiter is hia, body and soul, for the reat of the evei^g. The Idea of tbat w^ter attend¬ ing to anybody else, or letting even the lady of the house have the perigord pie, or the plover's eggs, or the peaohes, nntil Jack and bis partner have quite done with those delioa- oies, is too absurd to be entertained for a mo¬ ment.
Taking him all ronnd, then, Jack Vesper wasnot a bad. sort ofa yotmg man. Some geur tiemenwho do not get Into ladies' society quite as well as he does, siy that he is a con¬ ceited ass; hat perhaps they are jealous. FauAy Parker thinka he is the handsomest fellow and the greatest genius that ever breathed ; but perhape she is partial.
Fanny Parker has no claim to classical beauty. Her nose—it is not a snub, of course, only a little ambitioua toward the end—wonld put her out of court on Moant Olympna. But tbe eyes above it, and the lipa below! the great mass of obestnut hair that crowns her, and the absurd little feet, npon whioh she flies along with Jaok Vesper in the after-snp- per gallopade—are worthy the admiration of Jopiter Tonans himself before all his gods and goddesses.
Fanny Is as good aa she is merry, and as pretty as ahe is good. A roond little. Bound little body, with a kind roand face, and white rouud shoulders, and round plump arms—a little round waist, and a great round crinoline. A pleasant girl to look at, or talk to, is Miss Fan. An odious little flirt, say Bome ladies, who do not get so many desirable partner? as she does; but perhaps they are jealous. Tbe beat and jolliest little girl in the world. Jack Vesper thinks; bnt perhaps he ia partial.
It was at a pio nic party, held in Epping Forest, tbat the myatery began. Aa soon as dinner was over. Jack and Fanny went away together for a stroll, and—as a matter of course, lost tbemselves. Jack always had the greatest difficulty in finding his way out of a wood, when he had a pretty girl with him.— In tbe first half hour they sauntered on, side by aide, and talked of things in general; the next thirty minutes found them arm in arm, conversing confidentially; and the third— well I well 1 I am not going to tell tales out of school.
Fauny was of courae very much agitated by what Jack told ber, and required support.     «* "And mnst we really keep it a secret—de— dear?"
Now Jack had called her by a thoasand endearing names—his "beloved Fanny"— " the light of his eyes "—his " own dear little wife," and all the rest of it; bat this one little word, " dear," waa all that he had got in re¬ turn.
I do not know what you tboaght, good reader, (or if your time ia not yet come, what you will think) when, for the first time, tbe girl whom best you love, looked you shyly In the faoe, and called you " dear." I only know what Jaok did to the little quivering lips, throagh whioh the pleasant sound had passed involuntarily;—but I am not going to tell—
" We must indeed, my own," replied Jack lo Fanny'a anxious qnestion; " for oply one week, however. On Tuesday I shall be twenty- one ; and although my guardian is a good old fellow enongh, he is a little crotchety some¬ times^ and I should not like to ask Him for his consent, until he has no excuse for moral¬ ising, and must grant it as a matter of course." Upon the day after the pio nic commenced those unprecedented attenti ons of Jack Vesper to hie nnole, whioh f o puzzled the old gentle¬ man. . Hitherto his dutiftil nephew 'had paid his respects ahout once in three months. Now he dHjpped in every evening, and invited him¬ aelf Ui breakfast at Prospeot House on Snnday. It wall delicious to hear him inquiring, in quite a caa^ial tone, whether Mr. Vickery knew some people of the name of Parker, who lived next door Ibat one. Mr. Vickery did not know the people of the name of Parker; but he stated for J^.ck's information, that the eldest daugh¬ ter seemed to be a very nice girl; to whioh Mr. ^lack replied, "Oh, indeed I"; very de¬ murely.
It Iras not wilh unmixed satisfaction that Mr. "^'ickery anticipated the proposed visit of his nephew. His landlady, Mrs. Nagger, atronfely objected to being " put abont," es¬ pecially on Sandays, and Mr. Viokery foresaw, that Id provide breakfaat for a hangry young fellotr, who had walked from Clemont'a Inn, and tvho was acoustomed to grilled fowl and deviliad kidneys for hia matutinal repast, would be stire to "put her about" to a very consid- erabl'3 degree. Poor old Vickery I He waa a miserable serf in his own stronghold. Worse tban all, he had himself forged the cbaina that l^onnd him withiu the power of the re- mors'j Nagger. He bad given her notioe to quit ;about nine times daring tbe first two yearti of his tenacity, but had always invented fiomd^ wretched excuse to withdraw the notice. He hated moving; he hated finding fault. It was 1*'of no conaeqnence;" thank you, he wonld ratber take things as they were; and so on. The Nagger soon found out his weakness, and acted accordingly. She was a lady of spar^i and material aspect, addicted to a highly aggriiBsive atyle of head-dress, which she bob¬ bed itt you wheu she was ** put about," as though it were some novel weapon of offense. She had, also, a habit of wrathingher arms aboot, under her apron, which made Mr. Vickery nervous; for, npon one occasion, he had (seen her launch a slop-basin at the head of a refractory maid of all-work; and when abe entered his presence with her hand in the aboVe-mentioned poaition, Mr. Viokery never felt "luite snre that she was not provided with aomia similar appliance for chastising him shotild he too deeply offend.
It was, therefore, in the most submissive and !repentant tones that the mild gentleman I hrolie to his tyrant the intelligenoe of bis nephew's contemplated invasion, casting the while-furtive glances at the covering under whii:h the angry Nagger's bare arms were writhing convulsively, and taking oare to plant himiself within dodging reach of a lai^e arm ohair, the high back of which might serve him as a rampart againat the expected bombard- meiJit. Mrs. Nagger heard him out, and when he liad quite finished his suggestions for a bre^ikfiist, together with his humble apologies for (jiving her so much trouble, she looked up and down the seams of his trowsers and tho bh^ns of his waistcoat three times, slowly finlJihing off eaoh survey with an angry bob of ihe highly aggressive cap.
*\ WeU, I'm sure! well, Pm sure I Any- thiiigelse!"        /
'\ Oh, no, thank yon, Mrs. Nagger; nothing, notliing, I assure you," pleaded her lodger.
. Ho I I 'ambly return you my duty glr " elalmUted the Nagger, making a deep courteey, "I 'thought, perhapa, yon'd Uke me to make jar apartments into a publlo' 'ouse, at ono't, for!you and your nephews to geta guzzling in>
I'his last observation was oaused by Mr. Vidkery having ventured to reqxiest that a hair dozen pint bottles of bitter ale might he sent for.
*' My good Mrs. Nagger," repUed Mr. Viokr ery,." reaU/, if I thonght .       "

Viokery f" .
" Well, theri, Mrs. Nagger, sappose wo say a cold pigeon pie instead."
Ur. Viokery thonght this a master-pleoe of diplomacy.    •
" He calls himself a man;" said the landla¬ dy, loolktng solemnly oat of the top'sqitare of the wiudow, "and wants me to go sitting up aU night, baking him pies."
"No, rib, nol" exclaimed Mr. Vickery, " you misnnderaland me. I mean a pigeon pie from the oonfeotioner's. I'll order it niyself, and it sball be sent bome. Oome, oome, Mrs. Nagger, don't be vexed; it's ouly onoe In a way; we wlU not give yon any trouble, I as¬ sure you."
The autocrat of Prospect Honse would .not, however, "oome, oome." Dire threats did she mutter oonceming what ehe would " ap andteU"the offending Jack, and oiitloised, rather freely, his uncle's conduct, in encour¬ aging his " guzzling and his muzzling^;" aud it was not untU it was arranged that all the viands for the contemplated orgie were to be ordered from the pastry cook's, ready dressed that her virtnous indignation at suoh " golns on" in her house abated. As it waa, poor Mr. Vickery led a sorry life of it for the reat of that week, a reply to the important ques¬ tion, " WUere be expected to go to ?" heing oonstantly demanded of him, when he expos¬ tnlated about having to ring seven times /or dinner, and at finding hia bed in tbe aame atate upon retiring to reat that he had left it in when he rose the aame moming. He waa, moreover, told that, " If people would put other people about till they didn't know if they were on their head or their heels, they muat not expeot to be fiddle-faddled after all day.
' Mr. Viokery feebly intimated thathe didn't require to be "fiddle-faddled after " all day; that if bis rooms were made commonly habi¬ table, and his meala supplied within an honr of the time at whieh they were ordered, he ehonld be content; whereupon Mrs. Nagger angrily retorted that she waa not going to be pnt upon by him (Mr. Vickery) or anybody else, and that ifhe couldn't behave like a genUeman, he'd better give notice and go. I repeat it—it was a aorry life that the kind old gentleman led for the rest of that week.
Saturday was washing day in Prospect House. The rain came down from momlng tiU night, so that Mr. Vickery could not go out. The steam came up from Mrs. Nagger's boUers from morning nntU night, bo that he was half boiled athome. Hia mutton chops— ordered at four—were served at seven—all raw and frizzled, aa thoogh they had been cooked in a candle. Hia fire went ont for want of coals; hia lamp refused to buru for want"of oU; and when, after having rung and called tiU he was tired, for those necessaries, he ven¬ tured to seek them for himself, in the lower regions, he was driven thence with ignominy, hy the wrathful Nagger, who asserted tbat it was like his " imperence," coming peering and prying about tbe house like.that. It was not in the most contented spirit, thvn, tbat Mr. Jeremiah Vickery sat down to the perusal of his Times that evening by the Ught of his bed-room candle.
Mr. Vickery was veiy pai tial to that mys¬ terious aecond column. He alwaya read It first. He liked to know what was lost or fonnd. He said somebody might have picked np something belonging to him—not that he missed anything, bnt that did not matter. " Ha 1" he reads. " Humph I let me see. ' Tom, who left his home on Tuesday, is Im¬ plored to return.' Yes—that's one Bide ofthe question. I wonder how many Toms there are whom people would implore to be off and keep away. .* Dog lost.' ' Horae found.' Ha 1 nothing in't. Oh," continued Mr. Viokery, glancing down his favorite column. "Good¬ nesa gracioua I what'a this t" As tbe adver¬ tisement which occasioned this exclgmaUon waa a curious one, we copy it verbatum ¦*
"A Ladt's Heakt to be Let.—A lady of re¬ fined ideas and domestio habits is desirous of meeting a partner in life. A personal inter¬ view is requested. Address Constance, Post- office, Hampstead."
" What a very funny person Constance must be," thought Mr- Yiokery. "Let me now see what the leading article aays," he continued, unfolding the paper, and reading:
" The latest intelligence that we are enabled to lay before our readera upon the snbject whioh now so completely absorbs public atten¬ tion, ia tho announcemeat of "
"Lady's heart to bo let," mused Mr. Yiok¬ ery, putting down the paper, his mind revert¬ ing back to the advertisment. " How very odd. Sn[>pose * Constance' should be some respectable, middle-aged lady, situated as I am—woried to deatb iu lodgings—lonely and friendles. She would not advertise for a hus¬ band if she were young and had lots of socie¬ ty. Egad I have a great mind to write to her, and arrange a.meeting,if it were only to see what she is like. Perhaps she has lodgings to let. If I couid aee my way clear to a home of my own I'd let Mrs. Nagger be hanged be. fore I'd atop here another day. I'll answer the advertisement. I'll write now, and post my letter this very uight." And fall ofhis great resolve the old gentleman sat down and began to concoct his "billet doux." He spoiled about half a quire of satin note paper before he prodaced a commencement to his aatisfaction, and when he had got aa far as to request that * Constance' would meet him, he could not for the life ^him think of a suita¬ ble rendezvous. At length, wben he had nearly given np in despair, hia eye fell upon aome writing, on his blotting pad, in Jack Vesper's hand. Jack had written a letter there a few days previous, and in pressing it on the pad quite wet, had left an imprint on a portion of its contents, which his uncle made out aa follows:
—"cau see you.   There is a aeolnded little valley, oloae nnder the seven fir trees, on the
path toward Highgate, not more than "
The rest was so smeared as to be illigible. "Ha!" thought Mr. Vickery, "Jackhas been describing the beauties of the heath to some friend. This same little valley will do oapitaUy for a place of meeting for me and * Constance.'"
So he finished his letter, aud started off in the rain to post it.
Stmday came, and with it Jack Vesper to breakfast, as punctnal as the olook. That re¬ past went off better than might have been ex¬ pected, and uncle and nephew set off to church. The Parker's pew was next to Mr. Vickery's sittings, from whenoe Jack had a fnU view of the crown of an exquisite Uttle bonnet, which, throughout the service, was bent downward, diacloaing a gUmpse of about two inches, of a Uttle white neck, down which one little stray curl of glossy hair tricked provokingly. Poor Fanny I it was a great ahame of Jack to dis¬ turb her devotion, when he knew thatthejr must pass at the churoh door without a word. Jack Vesper wandered all over Hampstead Heath that day, from two o'clock until dusk, and went home as croas as two sUcks. He recovered the usual serenity of hia temper, however, the next day, aher i-ernsing the fol¬ lowing letter.
" Deabbsi :—I really could not get out yes¬ terday to meet you as I had promised. Oh, dear Jack I I feel so ashamed of this secret engagement, that much aa I love you, I must implore that you will not aak me to meet you again—that ia to say—ouly once took, before you oan ask papa's and mamma's consent.— Don't be augry, I have told alt to my good old nurse, Mrs. Tredham. Sbe has just recovered from a hard fit of the gout, iK>or woman; but she has promised to meet you to-morrow, at our old rendezvous, should anything prevent my being able to keep my appointment. Say when you wiU be there. I bave so muoh to tell you. Your own Fah."
To which Mr. Jack repUed In this ridioulous style:
'*Ut PfiEcioira Owv:—I oaunot stand this any longer, and I won't. I'U go straight to nv nnole—teU him aU—get him to pron^M to »e« yoo, yon darling 1 aad, thm, helsaozeto

and pop formally to the old people this ever slug, if yor wUl let me.   Yoor own JTaok.'*
BusiaeeB always flows in npoo. a nun when he does not want it. Jaok Vesper was detain. ed most profitably nntll themlddle ofthe day, and then sprang into a Hansom, and told the driver to oat along like—something—to Flrospeot Honse, Hampstead. - Arrived there, he was told to 1^ mortifioatlon, that Bir. Viokery had gone out aboat an hour. Where had Mr. Vickery gone ?   Let ns foUow him.
Ur. Vickery had gone to meet his (Tonstanee in the little valley by the seven flr trees; and arrived at the trysting place, saw an elegant Uttle figure sitting on the bench very busy working " broderie Acglaise." Can this pos¬ sibly be (Tonstanoef he aaked' himself. He gave a lond hem I and a face In harmony with the flgore was turned toward him. " It oan't possibly be she," mosed onr Jeremiah. ** She is so very pretty, and yet It's three o'oiook, and there is ho one else in sight. Ferhaiis she is an orphan, poor ohild 1 If she is the owner of the 'Heart to be Let,' what a lucky dog I am, to be snre. By Jove I'U speak to her. 'Faint heart never won fair lady 1' So here goes, hem f"
" Did you addreas me, sir ?" asked Fauny, who at once reoognized onr friend as Jack's uncle and guardian.
'* Address you; no, no, I—that is, I—Oh I Address yon," atainniered Mr. Yiokery;." you asked me if I addressed yoa I Oh 11 See—oh; yes t —I—I—did not exactly address you. I merely observed—I mean I was only going to take the Uberty of asking whether you Vere expecting any one ?
Fauny instantly guessed that Jack had seeu his unole, had told him aU, and that the kind old fellow had sent off to give his consent in peraon, not wishing to keep her in suspense. She therefore repUed, bending her head very cloaely down to her work.
"Well, I mnst oonfess that I am expecting some one." "Ageutleman?"
"Yes; a gentleman. He was to have met me here at four o'olock."
"And his purpose in ooming !" demanded Mr. Viokery, eagerly, " waa mat—mat—was matrimony ?'
Poor Uttle Fan crimsoned, and the tears started into her eyes.
"Tis Constance heraelf," thonght Mr. Yiok¬ ery, transported with Joy.
" It's my unole, that is to be," thought Fanny.
"Uydear yonng lady," Jeremiah began, trying to take her hand; "my very dear young lady, I see by your blasbes, that my surmises was correot. You are—^yon are-^I assura itis not out of my disrespect for you; but I—I—" ' * 1 anderstand yoa, sir," said Fanny, trying to help him out of his embarrassment: you would spare me aU allusions to the past."
" She meana the advertising," thought the happy Jeremiah; but, of courae, Fanny was thinking of her secret engagement to Jack.
"I own," she contlnaed, atUl hlushingover her work, " that it waa very, very wrong; but you wUl forgive me will yon not ? You wUl forget the secresy and concealment which sur¬ rounds the oause of our acqaaintance."
"Forgive I of course, I do," oried old Yiok¬ ery, seizing bet hand, and shaking it violently. "And we may be openly engaged?" de inanded the new.del^ghted ^anny.
"Of course," again, "my sweetest yonng lady,'' Vickery replied getting more and more impressive every moment," don't give the past another thought. It's aU my own fatLlt. Why did I not know yon long ago?"
"Ohl" aaid Fanny, looking Into his faoe with a little sigh, "I wish youhad. Ishould thea have been spared many a sad hour." Old Vickery atared aghast. " By Jove I" thought he, " sho is in love with me, poor little girl! But what's the mat¬ ter?"
Fanny had atarted from her :Beat, and was trembling violently.
" Oh, you muat leave me now," she said.— " I see mamma and the ohildren walking on the road. They mnst not see me talking to you till all is settled properly. Good-bye, dear Mr. Vickery, you do ,not know how happy you have mada me," and off she tripped, leaving good old Vickery to pursue bis homeward way, alternately upbraiding himself with being a conGrmed Don Juan withont knowing it, and exulting in his preaent happiness.
He had hardly disappeared, when Miss Ta¬ bltha Buckram, who, asthe judicious reader knows perfeotly well, is the real owner of " The Hkabt to be Let," approached the sev¬ en firs, and was about to take tha seat that Fanny had just vacated, when a tall fignre came bounding around an angle In the path^ and ran straight into her arms. It was Jack Vesper I
" Bless my sonl I" exclaimed Jack "I beg yon a thousand pardons. I hope I have not hurt you. Very clumsy of me, indeed, but I have an appointment, and my desire not to keep a lady waiting must plead taj exouse for suoh awkwardness."
"Appointment?" thought Miss Buckram. "Theu'tis he—'tis my * Theodore,'" (the name that old Vickery had signed iuhis letter to " Constance."
" Oh, air," she said, " I cau pardon the ex oesa of your ardor. Theae are the seveu fir treea, I believe. This is the little valley— and here—hera am I."
"Oh, I aee," Jaok said to himself, "Fanny oan't oome, and this is the old nurse she spoke of."
"Young and handsome," thought Misa Buckram, gazing fondly at the atalwert Yes. per. " He seems quite struck, too, with my appearance. I'ts love at first sight. I feel the aoft emotion myself."
" Well, my dear madam." said Jack, seat¬ ing himaelf beBide her, "asyon have taken the trouble to meet me here, I must tell you all my intentions."
Miss Tabitha Backram bestowed a languish¬ ing look npon tha nnoonsoions Jack.
"I am resolved," continued he, "toendure no more delayer ooncealement, but to he mar¬ ried at oDoe."
" Ah, the ardor of youth 1" sighed the Buck¬ ram." "I ahall thoreforo, confide all to my uncle, and ask his consent to out union ; that Is, provided that my sweet darUng, my best and truest love I"
"Ohl" exclaimed Miss Tabltha, olosing her eyes, "this is ecstaey!"
" TeU me, then," Jack resumed, " does she
consent ? Will she let me olaim her at once ?"
" She will, she will," murmured the delnd-
ed old maid, leaning tenderly againat Jaok's
shoulder for support.
" Then I'm the happiest of men I" exclaim¬ ed her.companion, jumping np; thereby caus¬ ing poor Mias Buokram to fall fnll length upon the bench. "Oh, I beg yonr pardon again,"said he,assisting her to rise. "Be composed, pray; remain here, please, I'U be baok in half an hour and tell you the result of my oonversatton with my unole." Then away ran Jaok, as faat aa he had come.
" He might have touched my oheek with a chasto saluto," thonght Miss Tabitha, fondly watching the retreating figure," but aU in good time. Why, bless my soul, there's that odi¬ ons old baohelor."
" Confound ii!" oried Mr. Vickery, who, of conrse, was the new oomer, *' here's that pry¬ ing old maid."
" Now I teU you what it is, Miss Buckram," he oontlnued aloud "I'm not going to stand this; I'm not going to be dodged and foUowed about by you. What have I done? Yon ^n't a detective officer in disguise, are. you 7" " FoUow you/" retorted the Buokram, in¬ dignantly, " the man's out of his seoBea 1 and as for yonr Insults, sir, I'd have yoa know thatl am no longer, nnprotected; my hns¬ band "

" Ah, yoa may langh 1" ejaoulated Ulas B.: " there are $ome\ people whom., noh'^dy wpnld man3r..at any prioe,^ud-who are/natarally spitofnl' when oUiers enter into the happy > state. I otia make an allowahoe for tueh peo. pie, Ur.

Ur. Yiokery took the letter, atUllaaghlng at the idea of the ancient Tabitha becoming a bride; bat when he opened aud saw its con¬ tents, his lower jaw fall, his knees trembled, and he looked the very image of abj eot, speeoh- leas misery.
" Do—do I nnderstand you," he gasped out at laat, "that—^that yon have already seen this devoted individual ?"
"Ihave, sir," repUed the damsel, "and he is now preparing his £dends to receive me."
"Then," thought Mr. Yiokery, toking heart, " somebody else must he after the dUapidated premises. I wish you joy, my .dear ;Miss Bnokram," said he, aloud. " I'lldo anything for you iand your beloved Theodore. I'U go and buy the license. I'll give you away in the obnroh. I'll stand the wedding breakfast, ru propose the health of the bride. Only don't lose a day. Never let yonr beloved out of your aight till the ceremony ia performed, and send for me When the day is fixed. At present, business of the most urgent impor¬ tanoe demands my presence. Good morning,'
Turning short round, he very nearly rau ftiU tilt into Jaok Vesper and Fanny Parker.
" My dear unole," Jack said,." give me joy, Pve seen Mr. Parker, he has been so kind; we are so happy; but, believe me, I ahall never forget your kindneas'to deaf little Fan."
"No; and Uttle Fan wUl not forget it either, dear unole." said the yoang htdy indicated.
Mr. Vickery oovered hia fac'ewlth hia pock¬ et handkerchief, staggered to tha bench, and feebly requested to know where he waa.
" Then you—you are not the writer of this ?" she inquired, presenting poor Jeremi¬ ah's letter to his nephew.
" No," he replied, after having looked at the hand-writing," but I dare say he wUl ar¬ rive preaently. Come, uncle yon wiU be in the way here. Good morning, Uiss-Buok¬ ram ;" so saying he took Ur. Yiokery by'the arm and led him unresistingly away. When tbey were oot of hearing, however, he burst out into a roar of laughter, and said, " Oh, unole! nnole I   What have you been about!"
" I did it to get a home. Jack," repUed the penitent Yiokery. "I'm a miserable, lonely old fellow, Jack, and "
" You shall not say so any longer," inter¬ rupted his nephew. " As for this mistaken affair, I have here yonr letter, and there it goes."
So saying he tore it into minute fragments, and sowed them broadcast on the eartb.
" With regard to your being miserable and lonely," he added, f that,is easily settled.. Come and stay with me till I am married, and then if Fan doea not make you the jolliest old nncle in the world in our little home, she is not the girl I take her for."
Mrs. Fan did not disappoint her hnsband's expectations. A happier fellow than nnole Yiokery Is not to be found ou a summer's day. He is devoted to his nephew's pretty wife and handsome chUdren; bnt, although he deems it no tronble to ramble with them for miles in other directions, no power on earth will get him within sight of Hampstead Heath.

Swiss Weavers and tlieir Homes.
The following interesting picture of "peasant life*' in Switzerland, is from Miss Johnson's "Cottages of the Alps:"
We need not apologize for introdnoing oar readers to one of these cottages, that they maj see the companions of the loom, in whioh is a web that may one day floarish in an English palace or American saloon, or whirl ia the diz¬ zy dflDce at Newport or Saratoga. It is of the beantlful kind called ^ros^ Naples^ whioh yoa need not imagine to have been made in Italy because it has an Italion name, or that it is leas beaatifal because it is woven on Swiss soil.
First, yoa must see the weavers, who wear a white linen oap ornamented with glass beads on both sides, and tied under the ohin with a velvet ribbtm. A ahort blue j acket, with light bine bodice, on which appears the letter Y, wronght, or formed with colored velvet ribbon. What the letter signines we do not know, and they do not know themselves.
The hoase is of two stories, built first o' timbers, and tben a wall of ooatse bricks or atones, covered with plaster. On the firat floor are a sitting room, two small rooms and a kitchen. These are finished with panels, painted light green, looking beaatifully neat.
The most conspicaous object is the great atove of potter^a work, veneered and painted, and wiought into three walls, ao as to apread its genial icfineuoe in every apartment below and above. These stoves are e^'erywhere at the north, and very comfortable when tho¬ roughly heated night and day, but require much wood, and in mild wheather of apring or antamn not very eoonomloal, unless permitted to remain cold, which is often the oase I
Under the windows are long wooden bench¬ es, and before these the table, set around with wooden chairs. The unfailing ohest, with ita various compartments, is near, and on it a tin pail and copper waah-basin; a book¬ shelf is saspended over, and ona nail at its side a towel and a brush. On a little table in the oomer is the folio family Bible, and upon two nails over the door rests the family gun, polished to brightness. The next article is a curious relic of the olden times, and here we are able to state exactly what marked the times as old.. When they use thia term, they mean the age of oatmeal pudding made eo thick that the spoon would stand upright in the cen¬ tre. These are the dnys their grandmothers still remember, aud the great wooden spoon hangs by a string to the wall, as does also the bread-knife with the initials of the heada of the household thereon, and the date of their marriage. It is a oarious article on whioh to preaerve the reoord of so important an event; but being the one they woald oftenest have to use, it is not on.the whole so Inappropriate. A slate, an almanao, a looking glass, asd k pair of scales oocnpy their wonted posts,and in accordance with their humbleSoffices, the oat's dish, the orioket, the oradle, and staadingetool. Under the stove are the unoccapied shoes aud playthJugB, and in the most honorable po- aitlona piolores from the Bible, Swiss history, aud the never to-beforgotten Black Foreat clock. Near the.windov ia the looml ' Does it seem marvellbuB how one of those beaatifal and delio«te tiMOM of green* or gtdd, or par- ple,'o«t eorae JBovtb fmn tiw aUtt otiaoh »
