MY EZPERIEffCBIk THE COTTNTRY.
I was "born and hred" in a city. I was the only daughter of one of the wealthiest Importers in my native place, aud had re¬ ceived every advantage that money, could procured }&y mother'a health was feeble and we had always, within my recollection, kept a housekeeper.
I had heen reading, one day, an essay on the education of woman, and iiui^he closing sentences tbere occnrrod this paragsaph—"No woman's education cau be complete unless she be thoroughly acquainted with the art of housewifery." Now you may be assured, this opinion, coming as it did from so impor¬ tant a person as the author of a book, fell ^th a great weight upon my mind, and set me to thinking. I glanced arouud the room. My eye fell on a splendid piano, a tasteful guitar, paintings which my pencil had exe¬ cuted, and embroideries which my skill had wrought. I laid my hand upon a gorgeous¬ ly-bound book, its gilded leaves unclosed, and the glowing thoughts of Paute met my gaze. And I possessed the power to unlock its mysteries—to read iu the language which the great poet loved. Gernmn and French Were familiar to me as my own language, and I had fairly studied through tlio il)imit.il'l« concatenation of Latin verbs aud .supiucrf.— But what of th.it.' Ml those (lualification.s were valueltjss ! I bad nevt'r looked at the , subject in thir* light before. 1 glanced inward at myself. What did 1 kuow about house¬ wifery? I smiled as I asked the question.—¦ Mortified enough, I was obliged to confess that I did uot kuow a turkey from a chicken, and had not tlie most remote idea of the manner in which the delicious apple was lodged in tbe very heart of an appln dump¬ ling! ^
I was astounded! Wliat an admirable wife I rihould make I Supposing 1 should fall in love with :i pooi- man, .nnd a.s they usually do in novel.';, ehqm with him, expres¬ sing at the ^ame time a preference for him with an humble cottage, tn a palarp witbout him ; and sujiposin;; that he was nnablu to snpply the kitchen of said cottage with tbat important appendage—au Irish mHideu--well, what th^? Aye, sure enough, what then? I absolu{ely elinddered as 1 thought of it!— Cross words, black frowns and blacker coffee at breakfast—singed steak and mysterious pudding for dinner—burnt bread and smoke- flavored tea at supper—and oh! dear, dear! I could hardly repres-s my tears a.s 1 thonght of it.
.Iust as I was about deciding to go to my room for a regular "school-giil cry,"' Aunt Hatty and my motlier came in from an exten sive shopping expedition. Aunt Hatty, good soul! looked all the surprise she felt, as she said, peering at me curiously through ber spectacles, "Law sake! child I what upon airth is the matter.' Does your tooth ntjhe? If it does, just vot a piece of cotton as big as a hazel nut with Davis' Paiu Killer, and put it in the kivity of the tooth, and it won't be long,iI tell you before you'll feel an amaziu' sight better."
By way of explanation, Aunt Uatty was my father'a sister, a good old-fashioned body, having great faith in home medicine practice. In early life she had married George Carroll, a wealthy farmer, and now lived on a farm about ten miles from the city.
"Oh, Aunt!" I faltered forth, "I don't know anything! no, not one thing!" and I bowed my head on the arm of the sofa and sobbed.
Aunt Hatty laughed outright, and my mother smiled as she inquired how long I had been so ignorant.
I explained all to them, uud throwing my¬ self on their mercy begged them to tell me what was to be done. Aunt Hatty consult¬ ed with my mother in private, while I per¬ formed tragedy on the sofa, and the result of the whole matter was tbat which I most wished. I was to go with Aunt Uatty to " Pine Glen," Uncle Carroll's farm, and un¬ der her guardianship become acquainted with cooking, washing, churning, ironing— in short, with housework.
Papa's consent was readily obtained, and that aftemoon I set out for Pine Glen with Aunt Hatty in her pretty buggy. The ride was delightful, and I was in line spirits, aunt feared I would be louely, but when I aaw the long, low brown cottage peeping shyly out from its covering of vines and roses, I laughed at the idea of loneliness in such a paradise.
Uuole George and cousin Charles were re¬ joiced to see me, at leadt tbey said so—and I saw no reason to doubt their declaratiou.
Sly lady readers will like a descriptiou of cousin Charles, I know, so I'll e'ou gratify tbem. He was a fiue specimen of the Kew England farmer, twenty-three years of age, six feet high; brown, curling hair; broad, white forehead; deep, expressive eyes: hand¬ some moulh, and a "splendid" spt of whis kers.
TJncle and aunt Carroll, cousin Charles and Betsy, a maiden sister of my uncle, composed the family at Pine Glen. There werejbesides the family circle, several "work folks," and a smart little girl, who .issisled about the house work.
Aunt said that work never was plentiur, and there was ample opportunity to bring forth my latent energies.
I slept soundly that niglit in the great sparo chamber—the state-room—of Pine Glen, with its clean, white floor and snowy window hang¬ ings. The song of a dear little bird close by my window, in a tall pine, awoke me quite early; and determined not to be thought in¬ dolent, I sprang up, and makiug a hasty toilet, I consulted my watch, and fouud it was only half-past seven. Firmly convinced tbat not a soul in thehonse was up, I Ktole noiselessly dowu ^tairs to avoid disturbing tbem, and entered the diuiug-room. The morning meal had evidently been ou the table, and the family had, to all appearances, partaken. Mortified enough, I went into the kitchen to find aunt Hatty. The good lady laughed as she saw my coni^ternation, and begged me to take my breakfast as soon as possible, for she wished to "clean up." That morning's ex¬ perience taught me that seven o'clock is 7iot considered early in thc couutry.
As it was "baking day," 1 prepared to re¬ ceive jny first lesson iu bread makiug.— Dressed in one of aunt's striped gingham dresses,and with Miss Betsy's best "tow and linen" apron, I commenced operations in right good earnest.
First, there were the "tins to be buttered. I showed my consummate skill by merely buttering the outside, and leaving the inside cleau.   Aunt Hatty laugh^,^ ^^^11 the tears fell from under her spectacles, a.t this inver¬ sion of household laws.   To my ctM^it be it said, I did not despair, but set conragt-^j^giy to work to remedy the  mishap.    1 took i,(j my rings and laid them away, rolled my sleeves above my elbows, and put my hands 1 valiantly   into   the   hot   dish   water,   and aornbbed the tins clean.    Then followed dry¬ ing them—after which I performed the oiling process to aunt's  entire satisfaction.   The bread was to be mixed with hot water, and the yeaat had been pat in the night before, "consequently," Miss Betty said, "it was big enough to knead."   Kneading was a term I did not exactly nnderstand, so I applied to aunt Hatty for an explanation.
"Lahl Marian, don't you know how to knead bread? Why, I ahall begin. You dont't know much after all your boarding- fichoolB and planner leasons; why, ohild, put your hands right into the midst of it, and
end of half an hour tho mass before me had not changed the least particle, so I concluded that it must be kneaded enough, and I took it to Miss Betsy for examination. That ven¬ erable woman looked at tbe bread In embryo full a minute with the greatest amasement.
"Would you believe it, Harriet?" she ex¬ claimed; "the poor child's been kneading tbat dry meal in the flour-bucket more'n half an hour I Dear! dear 1 I am thankful I wam't born in tbe city I"
My feelings can be better imagined than described, for sure enough the bread pan sat demurely on a shelf above the stove with its contents undisturbed, while I had been labor¬ ing away on the contents of the flonr bucket! I could have cried with vexation. Aunt Hatty consoled me l»y telling me that some great poet had said, "Every body must have their lamin'," and I felt tbat there was more of truth than poetry in the assertion—iu fact, 1 was a practical illustration of the proverb. After another half hour's work, the great smooth loaves were safely deposited on the bright brick lloor of tho big oven, and as I stood gazing on my great triumph, my heart swelled with a mighty burst of pride! Geu¬ eral Taylor, when he first seated bis portly body in the Presidential chair, could not have been better pleased with bimself.
The bread baked finely, .ind iu spite of the almost intolerable heat and Aunt Hatty's kiud assurance that sbe would see to its ba¬ king, I was deteriuiuod not to leave it uutil it vras ready to be drawn from the oven. It wa-S a treasure too priceless to be entrusted to any one's keeping, and with burning face and aching arms, I persevered until the loaves were set on the nnpainted table and nicely covered with a clean white cloth. Right glad was 1 to get iuto the cool shaded parlor, though for the world I would not have con¬ fessed it, lest I should have been deemed cowardly, but I felt tbat one great step was taken—I coubl make bread !
A loaf of that identical bread was cut for dinner, and Uncle Carroll and Charles prais¬ ed ita flavor to my entire satisfacton.
" Well, mother," said Uncle Carroll to his wife, at tho toa table, " what do you think has happened?"
" I'm sure I don't know," returned Aunt Hatty, thoughtfully. "Let me see ; Ishould'ut wonder if Srjuire Jenkins' wife had got a new bonnet; or it may be," sbe added, and her vis.ige lengthened wonderfully, "it may be that the measles are 'round agin."
Uncle laughed. " How serious; you are, Harriet. It Ls right good news ; good for Ma¬ rion, at ieast. The new bougie built by Col. Hayning i:s to be no longer \vithout au occu¬ pant. The Col. bimself is coming next week, with his family. A fine young mau that sou of his ! Eh, Marion ? There is not a better youug man in the Shite of M thau Rob¬ ert Hayning ! worth a dozeu of your whisker¬ ed dandies!" and Uncle (ieorgo's merry black eyes rested knowingly on Oousin Charlie's " imperial."
I will confess I was pleased, for Robert Hayning, 1 had long knowu by report.— Known him as an orator and a poet. En¬ raptured, had I lingered over words wbich had fallen from his pen, and deep, deep in my heart, had I wondered if he was all he seemed. But, luckily. Uncle George didn't know of this, aud more, I did not intend he should, so I remained silent.
After dinner was over, I was deputed to wash the dishes, of which task, thanks to tbe experience with the bread pans, I acquit¬ ted myself with honor. Then we took our work and sat on the western piazza until the sun was far down the sky, and the tall green trees on the far-off bill held up their arms to enfold him. I gazed delighted on the splendid prospect, but was immediately dis¬ enchanted hy. Aunt Hatty's summons to the kitcben, to assist her about " tea." The tea¬ kettle was boUing upon tbe stove, and the bread for the toast was already of a delicate brown. Aunt passed me the tea-uru, and instructed me to "scald it" with water from the kettle, and I obliged her faithfully, scald¬ ing the urn, and a large place on my arm at the same time. Aunt Hatty ran with wheat iiour, aud Davis'Pain Killer,(in which she placed infallible trust,) and my unfortunate limb was bandaged with an ample sized cloth and consigned to t7icr/ia and a "sling," for the time being. Uncle George sympathised with me deeply, but Charlie half laughed as he was told the particulars of my disaster.— Perhaps he thought tbe blue-eyed Ellen Hall, the daughter of rich farmer Hall, would nev¬ er be guilty of a like unskilful act. No matter, Sir Charlie, I thought to myself, I will equal Ellen Hall yet.
The nest day was the Sabbath. Calmly and brightly it dawned over the earth. I felt my spirit imbued with a spell of holi¬ ness, as I gazed abroad on tbe green, quiet country. Everything partook of the sweet, solemn stillness. Even the littie hrooka seemed to glide more softly, aud the birds sang their simple hymns iu tbe dark trees. The church was three miles away ; so Uncle harnessed the white horses into the double wagon, and we all set forth.
New beauties unfolded themselves at every step. Tbe grey old church was the crown¬ ing feature in the picture of loveliness ! Its little, slender spire glistened brightly in the yellow sunlight—and as the deep hallowed peals of the sonorous bell i-ame breathing over the bills and died into low murmurs along the green valleys, I felt my soul swell witb reverence and awe, such as I had never felt in tbe ornate cathedrals of my own fair city.
The church, like most others in the coun¬ try, was not enclosed, and cousiu Charles drove us to tho very steps. Men, women and children were standing about under the shade trees, awaiting the arrival ot their pas¬ tor, and di.scussiug tbe stnte of the crops, politics, etc.
We passed in. The building was old, very old, and the grey-haired servant of God, who addressed us, was iu keeping with the whole. And the sermon—would that I could recall it, word for word, that it might be sent out iuto tbe world for the " healing of the na¬ tions."
Sund.ay appeared to be tbe general visiting day among the people of tbe vicinity, for as soon as we had returned to Pine Glen, the neighbors began to "drop in," nntil quite a company had assembled.
I asked Annt if they were going to have a prayer meeting. " Massy! no, Marion, them's only sociable folks come in to stay a spell. i hope Reuben Sargent will come, for he's the nicest beau in the place—leads the singing— don't you remember of soeing bim ? the tall feller, with the blue coat and red velvet vest. 1 shouldn't wonder if he did come; for he's a great hand to git acquainted with every new comer."
I sat myself quietly down in one corner of the room, a listener, for I soou found they were talking of topics of which I knew noth¬ ing, and I begau to think that I wasn't of much use in the world, after all
1 had sat thu.'^ but a few moments, when [l^uock! knock!! knock!!! sounded at the from door, loud enough lo come from the fist of Eercules. Uncle answered the sum¬ mons, and forthwith ushered into the room a tall young gentleman, with red hair, whis¬ kers ditto, nose retrousse, and a Je ne sais quoi expression all over, whom he introduced as Mr. Reuben Sargent. Mr. Sargent bowed very gracefully (?) and sat down on the cor¬ ner of a chair near me, with hu ^at on his knee. "Reemarkable fine day, Migg East¬ man; pleasaut, quite, for the season," said Reuben, raising his organs of vision tenderly to my face. I assented, and added, that it seemed much pleasanter in the conntry du¬ ring the summer than in the oity. " Waalj there I" replied Mr. Sargent, " I al-
Singing was proposed, and immediately the i is coming here to tea; and I told him that
well-worn Carmina Sacra was bunted up, and Reuben rose to "take the lead" with that peculiar professional air which is inseperable from a music teacher. "Tum to the ninety- eighth page—St. Martin's—a grand old tune! —common metre. Ail ready—singl Don't you sing. Miss Eastman? Ready! Do, re, mi, fa, sol—sing!" and then followed a tu¬ multuous "combination of sound," which would have astonished the master builder of the tower of Babel, if he had heard it.
One tune made room for another, and the luckless " Carmina" was ransacked from title to finia. About 9 o'clock Mr. Sargent took hia departure, promising to "drop in" often. Aunt Hatty was very anxious to hear my opinion of him, but prudence induced me to withhold it.
Monday, with all the terrors of a washing day, dawned upon ua, and notwithstanding my brulure, I determined to participate.— Aunt remonstrated, but I assisted abont breakfast, and fed the dear little white chick¬ ens so nicely, that Aunt Hatty was convinced that Davis' Pain Killer had been true to its trust.
Donning my Ssturday's attire, I was duly ensconced behind the wash-tub, with soap and hot water iu abundance. Then com¬ menced the " tug of war." I got along very well, with a littlo of aunt's supai iutendence, until she told me that I might put the olothes on to boil while she went to tbe cistern for water, adding, 'be sure and soap everything well!"
I adhered reh"giouHly to her suggestions, and was about placing Miss Betay'a nice blue lawn dress in the boiler with the white arti¬ cles, when Aunt Hatty came in. " Wonder upon airth!" exclaimed she, coming forward juat in time to rescue the cherished fabric from impending destruction, "what does the girl mean! Marion, I believe you are the know-nothingest critter about house work that ever I did see! But, la! child, dou't take on about it; you'll leam time enough to bave Rube Sargent; he won't marry till his new houae is done, and you'll be a first¬ rate housekeeper by that time.
I felt very thankful for this consoling in¬ formation, and set about my work with a lighter (?) heart. I bad just succeeded in getting my hands and arms thoroughly im¬ mersed in the soap sods, when in marched Nell, tlie littlrf servant girl, and to my un¬ bounded cous:ernation, just behind ber came Cecil Harding aud Henry Winslow, two of my "upper teiidoin" acquaintances from the city.
It was too Ute to retreat, for the gentlemen were makiug their best bows ; so nothing re¬ mained for me but to meet them bravely.
Mr. Harding was a lawyer, city-bred, with all an " exquisite's" idea iu regard to the sphere of woman ; and, no doubt, my char¬ acter fell below zero at this exhibition of my talents as a washer-woman. But little did I care. I knew the really good and noble would not despise the laborer, even tbough tbe labor was coai-se aud ungenteel.
The gentlemen remained to dinner, and ex¬ pressed themselves delighted with Pine Glen. Tuesday was ironing day, and never until theu did I realize the truth of what our laun¬ dress had said a thousand timea, wben asking for increased wages, "Ah, ma'am, you see it ifi such dreadful hard work to iron."
However, I did very well. Burned two holea in a new shirt—made a frightful rent in Miss Betsy's unfortunate blue lawn—^broke the handle off a flatiron, by letting it fall npon tho stove hearth, and upset the basketfuU of stockings into the slop-dish. Moins que tbese trifling mishaps, I took my first leason in ironing with credit. Aunt said I did well, aud Mias Betay forgave me for tearing her dress.
The next morning, after assisting in putting away the breakfast things, I threw on mj bon¬ net for a wbile. It was a splendid May morn¬ ing, and I took the path to the river. Ob» how beantiful in its fresb loveliness did ey^rj thing appear! Thesunshine lay athwart my path, iu a golden net work, and the odors of the gummy pines filled the air with fragrance. I sat down beneath a giant oak, whose roots were washed bythe busy little river; and lost in a pleasing revery, in which housework had but a small share, I was unmindful of the lapse of time, until a footstep at my side aroused me. Turning quickly, I beheld a geu¬ tleman regarding me with apparent surprise. As I rose from my seat, he advanced towards me, and bowing respectfuUy, addressed me ; "Madam, Ihave beeu so unfortunate as to lose my way; can you direct me to tho reai¬ dence of Col. Hayning?" I looked at the atrangsr—he was tall and commanding; thick, glossy, brown hair finng carelessly back over a pale, thoughtful brow; deep, searching eyes, which I knew were full of tenderness, and a amile of strange sweetness.
I had no hesitation in walking witb him iu sight of Col. Hayning's reaidence; and, as I turned toward Pine Glen, the stranger asked) "Do you resido in this vicinity, madam ?" " For the present," I answered. " I hope, then, to have the pleasure of renewing your ac¬ quaintance at no very distant period," and he handed me his card. I read the name— Robert Hayning.
The dishes were hardly washed after tea, that evening, before Reuben Sargent, with his hair and handkerchief redolent of cologne, made his debut. He had called, be said, to ask Misa Eastman to take a little ride with him as it was pleasant, and he thought, may be, the would like to view the scenery of Pine Glen by moonlight. I excused myself ou '.he plea of a "cold;" and Mr. Sargent tooli his departure, with an air of injaryd in- uoctnoe.
The weekly churning day came, and aunt Hatty was desiroua to have me understand the art of butter-making. The churn was one of ihose ancient "machines,"'made in the form of a cone; and the butter waa brought by means of a "dash" attached to a perpen- dicilar handle. At this dash haudle I was stationed, with instructions to pull up tbe dash and drop it down again as fast as I coold. I followed directions, and at the ex¬ piration of three-quarters of an hour, I felt some curiosity to see how enceinte matters were progressing; so, after considerable ex¬ ertion, I got off the cover, and peeped cau¬ tiously in. A mass of fluid, more nearly re¬ sembling hot water than anything I had ever seen, met my astonished gaze. I had heard tbat in old times the cream in chums had been bewitched by evil spirits, and I ran with all speed and told aunt Hatty that the cream had turned to hot water!
" Massy-sakes-alive, Marion !'* exclaimed my Aunt, opening her eyes to tbeir widest tension, " what is the matter now?" and the good lady dropped the cheese she was pre¬ paring for tbe press, and followed me to the scene of action. She heaved a sigh of re¬ lief after she had examined matters, and then gravely informed me that I had been •burning all the time on tho water which had boen put into the churn to scald it, while the cream was safe in its own jar in the milk-room!
Things were speedily put in the right train, and again was I installed monarch of the chum dash. After pounding away until my hands were blistered, I had the satisfaction of seeing the golden butter lying temptingly, in the snow-white buttermilk. Aunt stood by me while I beat and salted it, and wheu I had finiahed, she pronounced it excellent.
Notwithstanding blistered hands, I was happy—I could ahow quite a number of scars obtained in " honorable wars" with domestio drudgery ; and never did revolutionary vete¬ ran, when about applying for a pension, look upon hia wounds with more complacency, i than did I upon my burnt arms and blistered fingers.
there was quite an agreeable little girl here, learning to do housework, and be had better come up early."
I blushed, (wbo could help it?) and uncle teased me with being in love with Reuben Sargent.
Several young ladies and gentlemen rode out from the city that afternoon to see me, but tbey went away before tea; and scarcely had they done so, when in walked Mr. Sar¬ gent, " large as life." I was annoyed, but I exerted myself to do the agreeable to the utmost. I had, to tell the truth, anticipa. ted much pleasure from the expected visit of Mr. Hayning, and did not relish having Reuben spoil my imagined bliss.
At tea-time, Uucle George appeared, ac¬ companied by Robert Hayning. I went through the ceremony of introduction with the air of a stoic. Mr. Hayning barely saved himaelf from a smile at uncle'a polite, " Per¬ mit me to make you acquainted," &c.
Reuben eatablished himself in a chair by my side, aud by putting his lower limbs in a very elegant poaition across the back of an¬ other chair, effectually prevented all incur¬ sion on what one would have surmised me to be—his legal property.
Unole and Mr. Hayning talked of the weather, money-matters, and the natnral features of Pine Glen vicinity. Mr. Hayning said he thought Oak Grove hy the river, the most attractive spot he had visited, particu¬ larly, he added, the seat at the foot of the large oak ; and he stole an expressive look towards the coruer, where sat Mrs. Sargent prospective.
"Hem!" ejaculated Reuben, drawing down his mouth in contempt, " you and I don't bleeve any such nonsense, do we ?" and he smiled and smiled at me in the most unbear¬ able manner.
" Vius etes fou."^ I exclaimed, indignant¬ ly, forgetting that Reuben did not belong to tbe nation of onion soups and garlic lovers- Reuben, to my astonishment, replied, "Who's tbat fool ? did you say ?—wby haint you had an introduction to him ? why it's Ro¬ bert Hayning, Col. Hayning's rowdy boy!'> Surprise forbade m^- replying.
Tea was shortly after announced ready, and Reuben offered me his coat sleeve, say¬ ing, " Shan't I escort you out, Miss Eastman ?'» I looked unutterable things at him, but he, nothing daunted, muttered in an undertone, "Ob, no matter! never mind, she'll come round right in time I'"
I could hardly help ejaculating, aa Aunt did, when completely amazed. " Did you ever!"
Afttr lea, Mr. Sargent proposed singing; and Mr. Hayning, good-naturedly, assented. Wbile the "choir-leader" was hunting over the Carmina Sacra, in hopes sometbing new would tum up, Mr. Hayning approached me, and expressed his pleasure at being able to renew his acquaintance with me, adding, " that is, provided Mr. Sargent will allow me."
Qnite a chat we had, while Reuben was de¬ liberating between " Uxbridge" and "Green¬ ville;" the choice fell npou the latter, and after the customary scale practice had been gone through with, Mr. Sargent announced, " Ready !" aud poor "Grefinvill*^''waa mur¬ dered without mercy.
Mr. Hayning left about sundown ; but, in spite of all hints to the contrary, Mr. Sar¬ gent remained. He stayed and stayed.— Aunt and Uncle retired, and Miss Betsy, soon after, did likewise. Mr. Sargent and I had the parlor to ourselves. Reuben arose, replenished the fire, and sat down on the lounge by my side. I was unacquainted with the details of an up-country courtship, and I had not tho most remote idea that be was, as the phrase goes, " attempting to court me," until, with flourishes ad infinitum, he said, "Ahem!—^li'ni! Sliss Eastman"—he had proceeded thus far, when he was inter¬ rupted by a violent fit of coughing, which was prolonged until it became painful to the listener, when he suddenly stopped, caught both my hands iu his, aud continued, " Miss Eastman, you must have been aware how particular my attentions bave been to you, and as I have known you a considerable of a spell—ahem !—h'm ! I make bold to iu- form you that I think of changing my siter- wation !"—here he broke down with tbe per¬ tinacious cough again. I could not imagine what the matter was ; and instantaneously, I thonght of all tbe storiss I had heard of men going mad in a moment, and falling dead in fits, and visions of insane asylums, and portly M. D.'s, with accompanying medi¬ cine cases, lioated before my distempered vision. I was about calling for assistanae, hartsborne and tbe camphor-bottle, when Mr. Sargent stopped coughing, slid from hig ehair to the hearth-rug, placed his hand on the region of his stomach, and turning his eyes devoutly up to the plastering, he said, " And, Miss Eastman, need I say that it is you—you—that—h'm ! that I woi^ld take for my partner on the tilesome journey of life ? I have loved you since the first minnit I ga¬ zed upon you ; and yoii can't be so ongra- cious, onhuman as to refuse to become mine —my wife!"
It is better not to record my answer ; bnt in lesa than sixty seconds Reuben was on his way to tbe outer air, muttering as he went, "Confound tbem ar' stuck up city high¬ flyers !"
CHAPTER Ii. Haying time  came   at last.    Tbe cool ze¬ phyrs of June gave place to the'sultry air of July; and the clover blossoms shed  au aro¬ matic odor all around.
" Now, Marion," said my auut, " tbe busi¬ est time of year has come, and your help will be needed more than ever; do you think you could rake hay ?"
"I have no doubt of it," I replied, confi¬ dently.
The aftemoon of that very day, the sun was curtained by a few sable clouds, and a dark silver-edged belt settled along the west¬ ern h'.rizon. Uncle George came in, and said there was a shower gathering, and he wanted " all hands," men, women, and children, as he expressed it, to turn out and come to the rescue, for he had fourteen tons of hay in the meadow, and as It was the best clover and grass, he didn't want it to get wet.
My sun-bonnet was on my bead in a mo¬ ment; and Uncle assisted me into the hay- cart, which was drawn by two brown oxen and a dear good-natured looking white horse, leaviug Aunt Hatty and Miss Betay to follow on foot. Arrived at the meadow, we found the men hard at work, while the perapiration ran like rain down their faces. I looked du¬ biously at them ; but I dare aay my oounte¬ nance brightened, as I saw Mr. Hayning in the midst of them! "Fine fellow, tbat!" said my uncle; "not a bit stuck up—came along, and found us busy, and waa not aahamed to off coat and lend a helping hand. Better set your cap for him, eh! Marion," and Uncle George laughed at hia own wit.
Mr. Hayning hastened forward to lift me from the cart, and said, playfully, " 1 am re^ joiced to see you. Miss Eastman, for it is said tbat wretchedness needs companionship, and am I not wretched in my ignorance ?"
I was entrusted with a rake, and told to follow after the load, aud rake up all the stray straws. Mr. Hayning assisted me; and I thought to myself, (remember, dear readef, this is in confidence,) how much nobler he looks while engaged in labor, than does Fitz¬ gerald Harrington, or Mortimer Phelps, Jr., in the interesting employment of twirling their parti-colored moustaches, and staring at tbe ladies.
The black belt along the horizon expanded and became denser and blacker, until it had nearly reached the zenith, and atinterrala the low rumbling of distant thunder fell upon the
ear* None seemed to notice it, however, and I would not be the first to propose returning. The other ladiea had not come, and- probably would not, and T felt a vasop-terror at tbe- thought of remaining exported to such a tor¬ nado as that which threatened us.
Mr. Hayning started, as a louder peal of thunder vibrated on the beavy air and said hastily," Come, Miss Eastman,let ns return to the house as quicklyaspossible ; theatorm ia

almost upon us."
The path lay through a dense thicket of al¬ ders, and tall old pines, on whose gloomy tops the angry olouds seemed to rest. Louder and more deafening grew the terrific peals, aud the lightning was almost blinding. I trembled so that I could hardly sustain myself. Hayning encouraged me ; and just as we had reached the darkest, dreariest, part of the path the storm buret upou ua iuall ita fury. Mr. Hay¬ ning hurried me into the spreading shadow of aome low hemlocks, and throwing his arm around my waist, drew me to his side. In¬ stinctively, I clung to him, (Ido not know but I should have done the same thing to Reuben Sargent, if he had been iu Hayning's plaoe.) Maiden baahfnlness aud pride were forgotten —I was oblivioua of the fact that I was Marion
Eastman, the haughty heiress of C Square
whose greatest boast hadbeen,heretofor6,the immense diatance at which she kept her nu¬ merons admirers. I only remernber that I hid my face on the broad breast of Robert Hayning and I felt safe there. I do not know how long tbe storm oontinued ; but I heard a kind voice calling my name, and I raised my head and looked around. The cloud had passed away, but a slight mist was still falling. I turned to my companion—hia deep lustrous eyea wera full of that tenderness whioh I knew could dwell there, audi felt the color rising in my cheeks, as my eyes fell beneath that ardent yet respectful gaze. I felt, in fact, heartily ashamed of the terror I had displayed; and as I thought, wbat could he think of me ? I turned away from his offered arm, and said something, which mnst have sounded very foolish. Mr. Hayning evidently divined my feelings, for a reassuring smile lit up his fine face, as he said, gently, " You were frighten¬ ed, dear Marion ; you tremble now—nay, but you will not refuse my Support!" I took his arm silently. Not a word was spoken until we reached tbe farm-house. Aunt Hatty was dreadfully frightened, and hurried me toawarm roomtochangemywet clothes. An evening of radient lovliness succeeded the aftemoon, but aunt would not permit me to venture out on the piazza, even, lest I should take cold. Peppermint tea was made and hot drops forced down my throat, de¬ spite my continued declaration that I did not feel " shivery." I was put into a bed, and the thick woolen blankets were piled upon me by aunt's unsparing hand, until I thought I should suffocate. 'Twas no use to demur, so I quietly submitted, inwardly invoking mercy upon my " clay tenement."
The next morning I arose early, and eva¬ ding the watchfulness of Aunt Hatty, I stole out for a walk. The dew slept bright and fragrant in the bosoms of the flowers, and changed in tbe sunlight from green to goldi and from gold to crimson. 1 look back through the long dim vista of years to tbat one bright moming, and it shines pre-emi¬ nent among many scenes of gladness! Wbo bas not in their hearts, the rememberance of aome sunny day, when their spirit was all joy, all brightness—all buoyancy? When they seemod but one step from the Lord of the Eteraal.
I took the path to the river. It was not long before Robert Hayning joined me. We walked along, side by side, with the deep blue sky and golden sunshine all aronnd us. I am not disposed to tell the particulars of that walk ; but when I returned to the farm house Miss Betsy declared tbat I looked "suspi¬ cious," and Aunt Hatty asked me if Hayning had been " popping the question !"
I remained at Pine Glen all that summer and the following autumn ; and I tried hard to leam, and learn I did, I suppose, for Annt paid me the compliment of giving me a diplo¬ ma.
Two days before I left the country, I re¬ oeived an invitation to attend the wedding of .Mr. Sargent, but "circumstances" forbade my acceptance of the kind compliment.— Miss Peggie Sallie Hopkins was the bride, the daughter of Deacon Hopkins, the rich mer¬ chant of the miniature village of Pine Glen- I suppose I might as well tell you what everybody knows, that before the frosts of winter whiten the earth, I was called wife by Robert Hayning. Never have I regretted that summer in the country, since it was the means of making me acquainted with him who is now dearer to me than the whole world.

At length the fel¬ low, aeeing the predicament the boy was in, yelled out, as he let drive another ball, *' stand in amongst the pins if you don't want to get hit!"

Wet ob Dey.—Probably, with a view to prolong his own days, Chief Justice Mans¬ field was always anxions, when old witnes- fles were in court, to know their customary habits of life. It so happened that two very old men by the name of Elm were one day the objects of inquiry. "You are a very old man," said his lordship to the elder brother, "I suppose you havo lived a very temperate life. " Never drank anything but water, my lord;" said Mr. Elm. " Nor yon neither, I suppose ?" addressing himself to the younger brother. " When I could get nothing else, my lord," was the reply. " I always took my glass with my friend."— " Well, tben," replied his lordship, " aU that we cau say Is—au Elm will flourish wet or dry."
" You," said a merchant to a clock, " are a mere mechanical affair, while I have the principle of action in myself." " Very true, replied the clock ; " but when you wind up your affairs, you stop business; wheu my affairs are wound up, I go the longer for it."
A PnECocious Child.—A faw days since a jnvenile offender was taken before one of the Glasgow baillies, who, after reading a lecture to the lad, put tbe following interrog¬ atory :
" Where did you learu so much wicked¬ ness ?"
The youth personifying Innoeence, with an inquiring look, replied:
"Do you ken the pump-well in Glassford street?"
"No," said the baillie.
" Weel, then, do you ken tho pump-well in the Briggate ?"
" Oh, yes," answered tht man in office quickly.
"Weel, then," rejoined tte accused, "ye may gang there and pump a^ long as ye likoi for I'm hanged if ye pump ue."
The Resolution.—
Too much drinking has ciUHed me jialu : I'll never look at a gloKK i;;alQ. Uo kept his word and aerer lied, And yet by drinking wiro he died, "flow oonld ho do it?"'~only think; He Hhnt his oyes when b» took a drink.
A Lady being in want of a dyer, was refer¬ red to an excellent workman and something of a wag in his line. The lady called and asked: " Are you the dyeing man?" " No, ma'am, I'm a living man, bit I will dye for you," promptly replied tha man, of many colors, putting the emphasis where it was needed.
A Proper Spirit.—A Yankee boy, whit¬ tling a shingle, approached a grocer, who was standing at his front door near some molasses hogsheads, and reciuested the priv¬ ilege of " lapping lasses," a little while.— " There is a bung out," aaid the merchant, "lap yourself lo death I" With that indig¬ nation which real or mock manhood assumes, the boy threw down^his stick and exclaimed. ' Keep your sweetening eternally, I won't lap a jot nor a spec to save your life !"
Defi.vitiox of a  Hos3Axo.—The English
language is a very copious oue! If we had not been previously aware of the fact, it would have evident to our underatauding by reading the following paragraph iu a Scotch paper:
" Wbat is a husbaud?'* Hear a lady's definition :— " He is," said she, " a snarling, crusty, sul¬ len, testy, forward, cross, gruffy, moody, crab¬ bed, snappish, tart, splenetic, surly, dry, bru¬ tish, fierce, morose, waspish, ciuish, boorish, fretful, peevish, hufiish, sulky, touchy, frac- ious, rugged, blustering, captious, iUnatured, susty, churlish, growling, maundering, upish, tern, gatish, frumpish, humorsome, envious dog iu the manger, who neither eats himself nor lets otbers eat."
Post Holes for Sale.—Mr. Van Epps is making an excavation on the corner of Main and St. Paul streets, Rochester, for the pur¬ pose of putting in a grate. The " Admiral," seeking information, interrogated one of the laborers, with the following result:—Adinirat —" I aay, old boy, what are you digging there?" Old boy—" A big hole, sir." Admir al—" What are you going to do with the bole?" Old boy—" When we get the hole done, sir, we are going to cut it up into post holes, and retail them out to the farmers."— The Admiral acknowledged himself "sold."
A Man of an exceedingly contracted mind, was one day complaining to an acquaintance that he had a very acnte pain—a little sharp pain, not bigger, seemingly, than the point of a pin. " It's amazing strange," he conti¬ nued, "don't you think it is? What do yon suppose is the cause of it?" " Why, really, I don't know," repUed the other, "what part of you should be liable to so very minute a pain, unless it be your soul,"
Roger Sherman was representative in Con¬ gress from Connecticut; his business had been that of making shoes. Johu Randolph, who had Indian blood in him, rose, and with his usual squeaking sounds, said : " I would like to know what the gentleman did with his leather apron before he set out for Wash¬ ington." Mr. Sherman replied, imitating the same squeak, "I cut it up, sir, to make moc¬ casins for the descendants of Pocahontas.''
Little Boy—" When I get bigger, Mr. Brown, you'll let me ride your horse, wont'tyou?" Mr. Brown—" Wliy, Charlie, I haven't any horse; what made you think so ?" Charlie— " Why, I heard mother say this morning that you'd been riding a higb horse lately."
One qfthe Certificates of Death, written by a "physician of large practice," received at the City Inspector's Office, reads as follows : "Mrs. Karolyne Johnsons dawther aged five montha and ate days died with defishensy of life to day under my attendance."
Impressive Elocdtiok.—The " Methodis Preacher" (printed in Baltimore,) tells the following anecdote of a well known preacher: Tbe Rev. Joseph Varden, a few eveninga ago, arose in a congregation In this city to deliver an exhortation. He commenced by asking—" How old are you?" Having asked the question, he paused a moment, and with increased earnestness repeated It—" How old are you?"
An elderly lady ia the congregation,suppos- ing that, as the eye of the speaker was fixed on her, the interrogation was personal, hesi¬ tated a moment, and then responded^—
"Really, sir, I cannot tell you exactly how old I am."
The preacher was well nigh thrown off hia balance, but he proceeded to enforce the im¬ portance of his tUeme—the necessity of pre- pation for death, and judgment. So mnch for impressive delivery.
A gentleman in Oporto has been "^astonish- ing the natives" by walking on the river!— He attached to his feet two large boat-fash¬ ioned shoes of tin, and thus prepared, accom¬ plished in safety a rather long " tramp" on the waten of th« Poaro I
around him.
" Every thing is as I left it," he cried—" tho hay field, Benson's cottage, the Church, tiie school house, the children—all, all are the same!" Passing down tbe pathway, he soon approached a sweet little stream, which glided on down the valley, on the banks of which was a large patch of Thyme, which scented the surrounding air. "Oh, that smell," be sighed, "how it takios me hack to yoar:i long passed and gone! Here is the .^p.H whero I used to fish, and yonder are tbe cow.s stand¬ ing iu the water, as if they bad never moved since I left them. Will my father refuse to see me ?   Or will my mother not know me ?
Alas! should they both be"  dead, be
would have said, but the word stuck fast in his throat—he could not utter it; and in a flood of tears, he threw himself on the stops of a stllo near hy, and leaned for support upon bis crutch.    Tho trembling traveler was by no means an aged man—he had for a few year.^ been fighting the battles of his coun¬ try, bnt sickness and the casualties of war bad brokeu down his once vigorous con.sti- tution.   It was not long before a youth ap¬ pro iched him for tbe purpose of crossing the stile.    He asked the decrepid soldier if be could do anything for him.    He answered, "Nothing,"   He only wished to rest bimself a few minutes before he went into the vil¬ lage.    " But toll me," said the soldier, " do you know Andrew Cox ?   Is be still alive, and are all his family well ?"    "Yes, I know them very well," was the reply.    " I aaw him and all his littlo ones tbis morning."    "His little 07ICS/" repeated   the soldier.    "Why surely you must be mistaken: he must be qnite an old man."   " Oh, you mean," said the youth, "old Andrew Cox.    He has been dead for some time.    People say that 'be never looked up after his  son William en¬ listed.   He was his  favorite son, and tbe father never smiled after he left him.    Tho poor old man never heard of him afterwards^ and soon died of a broken heart.' "   The poor soldier was this very WiUiam Cox.    He lis¬ tened with earnest anxiety until  the an¬ nouncement of his father's death, when he poured forth a fearful moan, and fell insen¬ sible to the ground.    When be recovered, he found himaelf alone, when, rising up, be ex¬ claimed; "I will goto the Church yard and weep over his grave."    With painful exer¬ tion he went.    The grave was readily found. He seated himself beside tbe mound, and clasping it in his arms, be gave vent to bis grief in long and bitter groans.    He was soon , dis.covered in this strange position; and liis brother being made acquainted with tbe cir¬ cumstance, ruslied to his father's grave, re¬ cognized his long lost brother, and took him home to bis house.
Here, every thing possible was done to pro- viilc for his wants, and make him happy. But iu vain! William lived only two weeks after his return. He died truly penitent and resigned to the will of God. At his request, his cratch was carefully preserved, and laid up in a comer of tho cottage ; and whenever any of the children were obstinate or diso¬ bedient, their parents would point to the crutch and say: " Remember your uncle William."
