* THE COUSINS
BY MISS MITVORD.
Lawyer Molesworth was'a rich landlord in
Crauley, the native town of Miss Mitford. Hu
lud two (blighters, to whom hia pleasant house
owed its chief attraction. was iv boautl
ful woman, Jersey w.is a pretty girl. Tim fond
father Intended that Joasoy should marry a poor
relation, one Charles Woodford. Charles had
been brought up by his uncle’s kindness, and
had recently returned into the 1 family from a
great office In London.- Charles Was to bo the
immediate partner ami the eventual successor to
the flourishing business of his benefactor, whoso
regard seemed fully juslilioi\ by the excellent
conduct and runirkablu talents of the orphan
nephew. Agnes, who secretly entertained an
affection for Charles, was destined by her .father
for a young baronet, who had lately been much
at the house.
But in affaire of- love, as in all others, says
Miss Milford, m in is born to disappointments.—
So found poor Molesworth, who—Jcsscy having
arrived at (ho age of eighteen, and Charles at

relition, and was petritled with astonishment
mid Indignation to find the connection very re
spectfully declined. The young man was much
distressed ami agitated ami said that lie hud the
highest respect for. Miss Jessoy, but could not
marry her— lie loved another! And then he
poured forth a confidence as unexpected as it
was undcslred by. his Incensed patron, who left

agreeable to youth and baanty. Jessoy was
flitting about like a butterfly among .the fragrant
orange trees and bright geraniums. Agnes vva

' “Ho is determined not ,to. try. The lady
whom lib loves Is above him in every way; and
as much as he has counteracted my-wlsbea, it is
ah honorable part of Charles Woodford’s con
duct, that ho Intends to leave her affections un
suspected by his object,” ‘
Here ensued a short pahso in the dialogue,
during which Agnes appeared trying to occupy
herself with collecting the blossoms of h capo
jessamine, ahd watering a favorite geranium}
but it would not dot the subject was at her heart
and she could not force her mind to indifferent
occupations. She returned to her father, who
had been anxiously watching her countenance,
and resumed her conversation.
“Father! perhaps It-is hardly maidenly to
avow as much, but although you never have in
sot words told mo your intentions, I have yet
seen and know, I cannot tell how, ail that your
kind partiality towards us has designed for yonr
children. You have mistaken mo, dearest fath
er, doubly mistaken mo ? fit to fill a splendid
place In society j next, In imagining that I de
sire such splendor.'- You meant to give Josscy
and the lucrative partnership to Charles Wood
ford, and designed me and your .large posses
sions for yohr wealthy and titled neighbor. And
with little, change of person these arrangements
may yet hold good. Sir Edmund may still bo
your son-in-law and-heir, for ho loves Jcssoy
and Jcssey loves him. Charles Woodford may
still ho your partner and adopted son, for noth
ing has changed that need diminish yournffec
lion or his merit. Marry him to tlio woman ho
loves.- She must bo ambitious, indeed, if she
bo not content with such a destiny. Ami lot roe

clining years/ Do not let your too groat fond
ness forme stand in the way of their happiness I
Make mo not so odions tothem and myself, dear
father ! Let' mo live always with you and .for
you—always your own Agnesi” And blushing
at the earnestness .with which she had spoken,
she bent her head over the marble basin, whoso
waters reflected her fair Image, as if she had re
ally been the Grecian statute, to which, while
ho listened, her fond father’s fancy had compar
cd her. “Lot mo live single with you, and mar
ry Charles to the woman ho loves.” r
“Uavo you hoard the name' of the lady in

“Not the slightest, I Imagined from what

_“Yoti may see her—at least you may. Bob her

And so it was settled. And a very few months
proved (hot lovo bad contrived bolter for Mr.
Molosworth than he bad done for himself.' Jcs

the very thing to bo vain of— the very thing to

noble character and splendid talents so well de
served her, made tho pride and happiness of hia

- The Admirable Crichton,
James Crichton was bom in Scotland, about
the year 1501. His father was Robert Crichton,
of Eliock—for a time Lord Advocate to King
James VI. Young Crichton received the best
part of his education at St. Andrew’s, then the
most celebrated Seminary in Scotland. His
proficiency was marvellous, At the age of se
venteen, lie appeared in franco, and, after chal
lenging all the scholars and philosophers of the
college of Navarre to a public disputation, to bo
carried on in any one of twelve specified langua
ges, In any science, liberal art, discipline, or
faculty, whether practical Or theoretic, carried
off. the prizo.-and received the public praises of
the president and four of the most eminent pro
fessors, The very next day he appeared at a
lilting-match in the Louvre and took tho ring
from u host of accomplished competitors. En
thusiasm rose to its height, particularly among
the ladies of tho Court, r.uulVom thoversitnlity
of his talents, his youth, the gracefulness of his
timers, and the beauty of hia person, ho was
named *• L’Admirable* —whcnco followed tho
title by which he has been since more familiarly
known, Tho Admirable Crichton.” He jour
neyed from university to university, posting his
challenge on church-doors and college-pillars,
encountering with miraculous success the most
profound philosophers of tho day. At Mantua,
lie vanquished tho most celebratcdswordsman
in Italy. He was suddenly cut off, in his twen
ty-third year, by an assassin. Ho was return
ing one night from tho house of his mistress,
playing hla guitar and singing as ho walked,
(for he was an accomplished musician,! and was
attacked bv several armed men in masks. One
of these he'disarmed—the rest fled. Upon un
masking tho captive, he saw it was tho Prince
of Mantua, one of hia former pupils, who in
stantly dropping on his kneo, presented his
sword to Crichton and begged for life, but tho
victor generously declined hia advantage. As
soon as the Princo recovered his sword, ho run
it through Crichton’s body.

JFrom the Cincinnati Commercial,
A- ROMANTIC MAM.
. We have iust learned of some romantic ad
ventures, which took place at. Cynthinia, Ky.y
ft Tew days ago.,- .It appears that a very clever,
fine looking-young gcntlerhanffrom Philadel-.
phia, had occasion to visit Cynthlma, on busi
ness during the. past winter, and while there,
became acquainted- with a young lady, Miss
B , somewhat celebrated for her charms.—
Mr. S— L —, the Philadelphian, was not proof
against the bright eyes of tho Kentucky maiden.
Hehad never seen such a glprious, liquid, spark
ling pair of orbs among the daughters of the
Old . Keystone. He was ravished, intoxicated,
and finally proposed to the bright eyes and was
accepted’. With a light heart ho started back
to the Quaker City to make‘the necessary ar
rangements for the celebration of his nuptials,
the day for which having already been’ agreed
upon.’ •
The winter rolled on, and spring and its flow
ers came again, as did also the particular day
for the lovers return; but ho came not. In two
days more the marriage was to come off The
fair one was restive ond mortified. JVith her
bright) eyes full of tears; sho denounced the
faithfulness of‘her lover, and trembled at the
open mortification which would overwhelm her
if hccamenot. At this favorable juncture an
old and discarded lover, whom no unklndncns
could divest of hope or lessen the fervency of
his first affection, presented himself.. Tic renew*
cd his suit. Ho spoke of his undying lovo; the
holy happiness of the wedded state; of a cot
tagcsomcwherciuthe deep bosom of unbragoons
grove, with the honcy-suckloand the .fasamino
creeping over the windows and along the lattic
ed porch. Tho trembling fair onewas channcd
at the picture. Love in a cottage—the quint
essence of human-bliss .in the estimation of a
girl of “sweet sixteen.” Sheblushcd and smil
ed, hut yet hesitated. The lover was in exsta
cies at the favorable symptoms. With renewed
nrdorbe urged his suit. He was prolific in tears
and promises, and trimmed the cottage with a
few more honcy-sucklcs, and the thing was done.
The Philadelphia gallant was given up. He was
a “laggard in love,” and deserved no considera
tion. Her faith was pledged to nnothei 4 , and
the same day fixed for the marriage which was
to have witnessed her union with Mr, S .
But the end was not yet. During the same
day a third lover presentcd himsllfand declar
ed his passion. The fair maiden frankly told
him she had just engaged herself to another,
and invited him to the wedding as a guest, in
stead of a groom. On the same evening, (Sun
day) Mr, S arrived from Philadelphia.—
Ho was not long in finding out how matters
stood, and was aghast at the intelligence that
Missß was to l>o married to another in
stead of himself, oh the following Tuesday. Ho
, at once took his way to her house and had an
interview, with the result of which be seemed
particularly well pleased. 11c then stepped in
to tho principal livery stable in the place, and
asked to hire the very best carriage and horses
to go to Mnvsville.* The pronrictor informed
him that it would be impossible to nccoimno
datebirn. That he was to be married on the
following Tuesday, and would have use for all
his carriages to go on a’little bridal tour which
he purposed. “May Task to whom.,?”sat'd
Mr. S- , with some misgivings. “To Miss
B was tho reply. Mr. S preserved
bis temper, ond simply remarked that it was
highly important ho should be at. Mavsrille at
the earliest possible moment, and that be was
prepared to give any reasonable nricc for a car
riage. Tho liberality of this indirect offer bad
a sensible effect on the proprietor. He got out
irs best hack and pair, and charged the young
stranger the sum of SflO for the trip. In a very
short time afterwards. Miss B found herself
sitting beside the young Philndclnbinn. in the
above mentioned carriage, and going towards
Mnvsville at the ratoof about ten miles an hour.
It wnsspon noised through the town that Miss
B had run away with her Philadelphia
lover. Her guardian who*wns opposed* to tho
match, at once mounted a fleet horse, and start
ed In hot pursuit. About half-way to Mavs
vllle, ho overtook tho fugitives and attempted to
seize the young ladv. The young Philadelphian
waived him oft. and spake in this wise: “Sir.
vou can’t have her; and you must do one of
thrce thlngs—you must go back and leave us to
pursue our innrnov. or you must kill me. orl’ll
kill you.” This talk brought gunrdy upstand
ing. It was entirely unexpected. And not
wishing to kill, and particularly not to bo kill
ed, ho accepted the first proposition, turned
tail and look tho hack track. > The lovers pur
sued.their way to Mnvsville,* crossed over to
Aberdeen, were married, drove bank to Cyn
tbiana, and put up at the principal hotel.
A crowd at once surrounded itho house and
threatened vengeance on IhO’Pniladelpbian for
carrying away the prettiest girl in tho town, and
who was tho promised-wife of an esteemed citi
zen. Tho voting man nothing daunted, placed 1
Ins wife safely in her chamber, and then came I
boldly down to tho stens of the hotel and began
to address tho mob. If our phonographic notes
arc correct, his speech was exactly in these
words: “Gentlemens you ought not to blame
me for what t have done. Most of vow, would
have done the same thing, had yon been in mv
place. Instead of threats and reproaches, you
ought to oflcr mo a complimentary supper.—
Still, if you arc not satisfied, t am ready to give
you satisfaction. I will fight you all, one at a
tVmo, and if that don’t do. I’m ready to nnt, nil
through at once, and.thcn cleanoutlhobalunco
of tho town.”.
This show of chivalry was 100 much for an
Kentucky' audience. The sympathy of the
crowd at once changed sides. They gave him
three deafening cheers, and then rushed in and
congratulated him with all tho heartiness of the
Kentucky character. Tho landlord was order
ed to bring out his best Bourbon, and plenty of
it, and tho crowd with great goodwill and.sin
cerity, gave and drank to tho hanny groom Hie
noble sentiment—“ None but tho bravo,deserve
the fair.” ’

Inside View of ir Boarding House.
A singular place* is-a boarding bouse. A
person ol’an observing turn of mind can obtain
therein a better knowledge of the human charac
ter than any other habitation on the face of the
globo. It contains very.often individuals of ev
ery temperment and peculiarity; from nn old
maid of* forty.down to the sweet young Miss in
pautalutts and flowing curia 5 from the dilapida
ted bachelor of sixty to the' premising youth of
twelve. It Is. tho scope, too, of very many cu
rious incidents, whiclvoro hs varied as they are
frequent. “Prlnatunl’.G,” as Ycllowplush would
say; Mr. Snooks, wtyrdsan Englishman of re
cent importation, complains in a mannermost dis
tressing, to the landlady; that the articles which
ho has been obliged to breakfast ofli viz : fritters,
are not just tho-thlng.to work upon, and would
wish a change made If-possible. Becistoak is
his preference,.and- suggests it us tho morning
diet. Sleek, who isfrlmdownEaatsomewhero,
can’t stomach a bcarlyfcrcakfast, and insists up
on things remaining just aejlhcy nvo. lie is
perfectly satisfied, and thinks those feeling oth
i erwise had belter Vnikins objects
to hash; not because ..lid'ilon’t like the dish, hut
thinks it would ho mMc|ridigiaelory to ids palate
’ it he knew of otnposed. He says
i {hut it hears rv to a mass of
.worsted stockings up. An ex
cellent comparison, nay, but not at nil
suggestive of appetite. "JUisa Jones can’t bear
tobacco smoke, and hopes that no gentleman,
as is a gentleman,will smoko .his .cigar in tho
pnrloi; while Puller, who is a lover of tho weed,
besides being a good fellow, thinks it a doveliah
pretty how-d’ye-do if a man can't smoke where
he pleases, at the same time he, of course feels
tho greatest respect for Miss J. The conse
quence is that Puffer and Miss J. are at logger
heads for a considerable length of time. Brown
is dlsatlsflcd with bis room mate, and suggests
flint to make things agreeable, Tompkins had
better pack up bis “dry goods’* and “put,”
while the latter individual, who is something of
u philosopher, can’t see any reason for such an
unwarantablo proceeding, and gently hints that
if Brown wishes to he olono he would do well to
seek sonic other place of habitation himself.
And so it goes on ; everyone complaining, and
having some just cause of complaint. Sunday
is a great day among thorn. They are nil at
homo; the routine of tho household is somewhat
varied from that of ft week day, and all revel in
the anticipation of something extra for dinner.
No sooner does the boll utter its first note, than
a promiscuous rush Is made for tho dining table;
and indeed we have, on more than one occasion,
known individuals to loiter around tho eating
room door, to be ready at tho first warning to
occupy a good scat at tho viands offered to bo
sacrificed. ’ Poor'luck to the ono who comes

The Kisses 0/ Girls.
Hardly any two females kiss alike. There is
as much variety in the manner of doing it as in
the faces and manners of the sex. Some deli
calc little creatures merely giro a slight brush
of the lip. This is a sad aggravation. Wc
seem to be about to “ have a good lime of .it,”
but actually get nothing. Others go into us
like a hungry.man to a beef steak, and seem’ to
chew up our countenances. This is disgusting,
and soon drives away a delicate lover. Others
struggle like hens when burying themselves in
the dry dirt. The-kiss is won by great exer
tions, and is not worth so trouble
it coats. Now, wc oreJn, favor of a certain shy
ness wheh irtciss'is -proposed, bufit should hot
bo continued too long; and whon 'lho fnir one
“gives jn,”ict the kiss be administered with
warmth and energy. Let-there be a soul in it.
If she close her eyes and sigh immediately after
it, the effect is greater. She should be careful
not to “slobber” a kiss, but givp it as a hum
ming bird runs his bill into a honeysuckle, deep,
but delicately. /There is much value iu a kiss,
when well delivered. Wc have had the memory
of one wc received in our youth last us forty
years; and we believe it will be the last thing
we shall think of when wc die.
Carpets Versus Blankets.
There is a town up in New Hampshire where
so little Is known of the appliances of modern
days, that throughout the village, until the de
but of Rev. , who had just moved
in from Massachusetts, there was not a carpet
ed room, Of this the minister was not aware,
or perhaps he would have hesitated at the idea
of indulging in such unwonted article of luxury.
One day a young farmer, having occasion to
visit the minister, was shown by the minister’s
daughter into the “best room.”
When the minister camodown to sec him, he
found him sitting in a chair on the door sill
with his legs extending out into the entry.
Amazed and somewhat puzzled by this unex
pected sight, Mr, M. asked him why he didn’t
go into the parlor.
“0,” said he, “J teas.afearcd of spilin' yoitr

His amazement may bo imagined, that the
“blanket” was apcrmanentilxlure of tberoftn,

dike exaggeration, is, the reader may be assured,
