Some years since, when 1 was in col lege, we had amongst our “faculty ’’ a curious personage, whom every one re garded with considerable, respect, and yet as a character »ui generis- He lived many years without a .wife* and expect ed to live so always. Indeed as he was the professor of mathematics, the ab straction of his science forbade his in dulging in the idea of getting married. To the female sex, tnerefore,he showed no other regard than common politeness required. His character was purely negative. Of course he was not popnlar with the ladies, and they kept themselves at a distance from him. But circumstan ces that often bring about a match in other cases, placed him in a pecqliai dilemna. It seemed a whim that a ne cessity was laid upon him to get mar ried. He was one of the faculty of j the College all the other professors were married and obliged to entertain the dis tinguished visitors ot the Institution. He had always boarded. Of coursi it wasn’t never expected of him thatj he should ever give a party or dinner. But it began to be regarded as rather mean in him to shirk of this matter from ytear to year, and, “well off as he was pechni arily, to throw, upon the other members of tho faculty the cost and trouble oflen tertaining the special friends and patrons ot the College. The question was, there lore, frequently asked: [ “Why doesn’t the old miser entertain some of the distinguished visitor that visit us?’’ ' Now, our professor wasn't a raise? at all and it often troubled him to think : he was situated that he couldn’t bear his of | part of the burden. And yet, what could he do? Must he get married? And iif bo i 10 whom? He had no special re. i gard lor any one iu the vicinity of (the college and no one has v any,.special j ie-' gurd lor him. In his younger days; he had seen at school a young lady in jthe city of New Vork, in whom he had fell a;pecniiar interest. But of her hehadh’t heard lor years. Doubtless before this time she was married, oj in her grave. Pos.-dbly, however, she waß still living . and waiting lor him! Glorious thought! He was quite relieved at it, though,lib deed, there might be no foundation lor his relief Nevertheless, he could make due inquiry. Nor could he long delhv, for commencement day was at hahd’ only a few weeks off. It was his Utrn, nr rather would be if he was married] to give the great diuner to the distinguish e l peisonages who would be presentfou ilie occasion. There would be lin; Gov ernor ot the State, and his lady— the trustees of the Institution and thejr friends, and others of equal repute. But who should be master of ceremonies? And who should grace the table! fie could square rlie circle perhaps, but shell “Circle as this. wh,t could he do with it. If he were Only'married, what a helpmeet would hiß wife be at such a time. And yet, his wife must be a good looking, intelligent, and accomplished lady; otherwise the blank would bb a blot. r How there was a young lady in l neighborhood that the pro feasor'thoni might answer, He had seen her at boarding house, and spoken to her or or twice. “But, she may Bay no,” and if t did, “where in creation,” thought i "could I bide my headl ■AndTben wl would become of the dining?” 1 Governor mast have a dinner and mttst have a wife. And hence- he 1 ' awake about it all uight. At last as 1 morning broke he cried ont to himse "Contempt! She will say no, will's] What then? Other men have- lit through it, and I shall. If not, Ish have a clear conscience about the di ner, and a cleaT conscience is the ms thing after all I I will write s 'note Mies A. anyway. It may beshe will gard it favorably.” So the professor down and wrote a note to Mias A. “8l a minute,!' said he to himself, "wl will the Governor think of the lac She is handsome and polite, but can s oonverse? Can Bhe entertain coinpar Doubtful,” said ho to himself, **v. doubtftjl;” and so he tore' up the no Alas! for a man on the verge of mat monyl In an hour or two, however, t Professor cajled on the President a said: • “1 should like to be absent a days?” “Ah!” said the President, "just at this time?” “Ves, 9ir, I have my classes in reali ness for the examination, and I wish to go to New York.” “Has any death occurred in the fan i jy,” said the 'President." “No, sir,” said the Professor, "bu I have a little matter of business that e quires my immediate attention, and I thought it best to go.” "You have my best wishes.” said the President, 'and may you return safely: and not alone. ’ The Professor almost smiled, lut blushed rather than smiled, and left the President, and hastened to New York His first inquiry on his arrival the'a, was for Miss Adeline G., the young la ly whom he had seem some years belo e, al school, as we have mentioned. "Why,” said the respondent,- “the family has been reduced, and she is a cook. Perhaps yondon’t know it, sir?” “A cook!” said he, “that is Inst wl at I want!” . i. . . ' "Oh!” said the lady, “we thought y jn wanted something else possibly.” "No, I have been half- ' starved to' death since I left New York, and I wifnt some one to cook-decently." "Well, she can do that, for Bhe scan :e -ly has her equal in that line in this ci y. Why, sir, she is a cook, par ezceltin c,. ’ 1 "And how does she look?” “She is the handsomest cook in the city, too.” "Not quite that, I presume,” said the Professor, “but is she intelligent?--I speak confidentially.” "Intelligent! She is, indeed—she can converse like an angel." "And as to manners. Is she accom plished?" ! “As graceful as an actreßS.” "When can I see her?" "At eight o'clock this evening." Couldn't I see her before that horn?” "I think that would be the most con venientrtime for her tq call,' and to i ee ?!f' u -. She will be engaged in her dut es till then.” “I will wait then. Please to fell 1 er. that Professor Mack, of Virginia, wi h es to Bee her— an ' old acquaintance of hera.” "Shall.l tell her that yon wish to ei gage a. cook?” "Yon may tell her that I wish to iee her,"said the Professor.. ...
