MY FRIEND WHOA
AND HOW HE CAME TO MARRY
STORY OS A BASHFUL MAN'S TRIALS
I Did you ever see a bashful man,
reader? If you have, you have seen
one of the most awkward, ungainly
creatures amonc , the human bipeds.
Now there maybe something very at
tractive and interesting in the shrink
ing timidity of a blushing girl, thro'
I confess that I have my doubts in re
gard to it, but a bashful man, who
ever pities him ? Though despised
by one sex, and laughed at . by the
other, always doing what he never
intended to do, he is one of the most
pitiable object in existence.
To be sure, iii these days of brass
and assurance, when everybody thinks
himself as good as his neighbor, and
a . great deal better ) they are very
rare. But they- are to be met
with occasionally, though they are
rapidly disappearing, and probably in a
few years there will be no trace of
them left.
My friend Joshua Wheat was one of
this unfortunate class of people. I
say was, for he has Wonderfully im
proved of late years. But 1 will not
anticipate.
No one could have seen Joshua en
ter a robin where there was company,
especially dadies, without being aware
of this peculiarity of his. He gener
ally either blundered along looking
red and foolish, of shot hurriedly in,
with a white, scared face, hiding him
self as soon as possible from observa
tion behind - a door, or in a corner.—
If there was a chair or a stool any
where in the room,
which was Very
apt to be the case, he generally man
aired to stumble over it, which was
not at all calculated to increase his
self possession, or add to the grace of
his entrance. If a pretty girl spoke
to him, lie stammered and turned all
sorts of colors, looking as frightened
and ashamed as if he he had been con
victed
of sheep4iteali»g.
Poor Joshua ! there certainly never
was a man who had a MOO opinion
of the better part of creation, cr was
more capable of appreciating thebles
sin c' as of matrimony ; yet he had reach
ed the age of twenty-eight without
bein g one step nearer toward reali
zinithem than he was eight years
before.
He had five brothers, but though
mine of them had half his good looks
or sduse, they possessed what he did
not, plenty of assurance, and a tact
of _showing all,thycl dkuow, and were
all married and happily settled in
while ho reMained a forlorn, discon
solate bacheVi'.
It was not from the want of means
to support a wife, for he had plenty
of this world's goods, a well stocked
farm, a nice, new house, besides some
money in the bank. It certainly eras
not for the want of girls, for there
were scores of them in the town
where he lived, of all sorts and sizes,
black-eyed, blue-eyed, and grey-eyed,
and eyes of no color at all. No,,
Joshua "Wheat remained unmarried
therely because he had not the mor
al couragO t 6 look any one of these
girls in the face and say, "I love yon
—will you marry me ?"
These words are very simple; and
to the nnintiated very easily spoken ;
yet I have known many a man's cour
age fail him at the thought of saying
them, who would have rode into the
front of the fiercest and hottest bat
tle without a shadow of fear.
At last all the girl's of Joshua's
acquaintance were married to braver,.
•if not better men. All but one, MA.II-k
-: PEATtpoitN, the prettiest one among
them all, ankaS good and„ sensible 'as
she was pretty. ..Nlary had .plenty of
suitors, but she turned a:cold should
' er to them all, being firniliy determin
ed in her own mind that if she mar
ried at all, she wonld have nobody
but Joshua, 'Wheat.
Joshua had taken a great shine to
Mary ever since they were children;
and used to go
.to school 'together in
the little red school-house on thehill
drawing her to and from school in the
winter on his little sled, and bringing
her apples as red and shining as her
rosy cheeks:
When they grew older, he still ex
hibited his preference for her, though
in a somewhat different manner.,
Every Sabbath after meeting was
over, he‘ would post himself by the
church doer to escort her home; and
in the evening, arraiye'd in his "Sun
day best," he reigh t. have been seen
striking a bee line for Esquire Dear
born's. About nine o'clock the old
folks Would go off to, bed, leaving
Joshua and Mary together. And
there he would sit, lOoking straight
into the fire, scarcely daring to inovc
or breathe, with the Momentous ques
tion trembling on the : Very tip of his
tongue, yet never leavin g it. Ne near
er toward the object of hisvisit when
lie left the hense, thp when he en
tered it.
Things went on in this way a mtm
ber of months. But at last an event
occurred which gave Joshua quite a
start. A ROD of Dr. Hale, the village
physician,
came home from college,
where he had graditatdd, it is said,
with considerable distinction. Ho
was a tall, lank, smooth faced fella
with far more learning than brains,
and meat bi;ase thaii either.. Ho saw
Mary the first Sabbath after his i•e
turn and took great fancy to her, and
Commenced paying her considerable
attention.
Youn b o" Hale had always been. Mary's
particular aVersion ; she had disliked
him from his boyhood ; but she didn't
scruple to, flirt with him a little, hop
ing to rouse .Toshua'a jealousy and
bring him tote point.
It seemed have have its effect; for
learning that - r. Lawrence, one of
the neighbors ? a thriving farmer, in
tended to giv a party, and having
obtained an in ling, in some way, that
the college chap, as he termed his riv
al, intended to take his Mary, he went
over to Esquire,Dearborn's early the
next morning, : 44 asked her himself.
Delighted anhe success of her ma
noeuvre, Maryigave asmilingeonsent.
And at the, apidinted time, much to
the chagrin bf,ti, young , . collegian,
who had inten,e4 to appropriate her
to himself, she went, accompanied by
Joshua. - - .
Alarmed at the bare
„possibility of
losing h er, osimaiitteilibd like a new
man; and instead of moping in some
corner as washks • Wout;:net daring to
speak to her,AViky one'i else, he re
'Maned by her Stdtf - nefuly'the'v-*lfole
evening, scarcely quitting her side for
a moment, -and then only when she
requested him to bring her some re
freshmen ts.
Mr. Hale, who had viewed Joshua's
attentions to Mary with a jealous eye,
heard this request and being well
aware of Joshua's blundering propen
sities, very maliciously placed a stool
directly in. his way.., ,Pretty soon
Joshua came :back, and instead of
walking around the stool as any one
else would have done,
he stumbled
dvetit, and sprawling full length ii i
on tle "floor, landed the contents df
his hands, which consisted of a cup of
coffee and a plate heaped with dough
nuts, pumpkin pie, and various other
eatables, directly in Mary's lap.
This unexpected feast produced
quite a sensation. Mary set up a loud
scream, and the rest o f the company
rushed toward her to see what was
the matter, and it was some -time be
fore order was restored.
When the tumult had, in a meas
ure, subsided, Mary looked around for
the unlucky cause of it, but he .was
nowhere to be fbund. Mortified at
the ridiculous figure lie cut, and the
merriment of those who witnessed it,
he had rushed from the houSe, and
never stopped niC'it 'slacked his speed
I until he had reached his own room
and bolted the door, firmly resolving,
as he - did so, that he Would never

Poor Mary was much more annoy
cd at Joshua's evident discomfiture,
than at the loss of her dress, which
was nearly ruined, and conceived a
stronger dislike than ever to the young
collegiate, who iOn_ was quite mire,
was at the bottoM Of it all. She res,
olntely declined his proffered escort at
the close of th•entertairtment, going
home with one of her brothers; leav
ing him the alternative of attending
some other lady, or going home by
himself.
Two Sundays passed, and Joshua
never came near her, and on the
Monday following, Mary put on her
bonnet and shawl and went over to
the house for the ostensible purpose
of having a gos Sip with.. "old Mrs.
Wheat, who lived with her son, but
in roity to fia oiit what had become
of her sometime lover.
Much to her disappointment, Josh
ua was not at home, though she saw
a coat-tail quickly, disappear through
the opposite door as she entered the
room, which she shrewdly conjectur
ed to belong to him.
After sitting awhile and chatting
with the old lady with whom she was
quite a favorite, Mary rose to go, say
ing as she did so, "that she guessed
she would go across lots, as it was
considerable nearer."
She accordingly passed out the back
way. As she was going through the
garden she caught •
a 64impse of Josh
ua in an adjoining orchard, walking
disconsolately among the trees, laden
with their` luscious fruit, and looking
as tho' he hadn't got a friend in th
world.
He started and colored as his eyes
fell upon Mary. "Why, Mr. Wheat,"
she exclaimed, in a tone of surprise.
"Who wo'd have though tofseei ng you
hear ! Why, havn't seen you for am'
age. Have you been sick ?"
"Yes----mothat is; I havn't been
very well lately," stammered poor
Joshua, looking as if he had half a
mind to run away. •
"You don't say so ! You are looking
pale,",said,;gary, with an appearance,
of -great syMplithy, glameing-mischiev
iously at, kris thee, which was growing
redder every moment, and which cer
tainly showed no signs of ill health.
"What a beautiful situation you
have," she resumed, after a pause,
looking admirably around on the well
cultivated farm. "There is only one
thing wanting to make you' quite
comtbitable, she added slyly, and that
is a wife." -What in the world is the
reason you• don't get mrrried, Josh
ua?"
The poor fellow colored clear up to
tho tips of his hair. "I—l really don't
know, he gasped, "there—won't any
body have me."
"Fiddlestick's end !" was the laugh
ing rejoinder, know better than
that! There are plenty that would,
if you would„only take the trouble .to
ask them. :I know of phis' at least,"
she added in a tone.
‘`.lNo, but really do you 1" inquired
Joshua eagerly. "Who can: it be

growing indignant at either his stu
pidity or want of coinage to take ad
itaiitivre of the Opportunity she gave

remarked s at 'last, breaking the, em

Won't you have it, Miss Mary- ?" he
added, looking at her timidly.
"Will I have you, Joshua? Of
course I will," said Mary, with the
most innocent air imaginable.
Joshua was thundcfstruck, scarce=
ly daring to believe his ears. "Arc
you in earnest Mary ?" he inquired,
looking earnestly into her face.
"Tote sure I am," she returned,
laughing and coloring. "And we will
be married next Christmas."
Unable to contain himself, Joshua
immediately threw his arms around
Mary, and'ratified the bargain with a
hearty kiss, at which performanoe
4tary manifested not the Slightest ob
jection or displeasure.
On the. following Christmas there
was a merry wedding at Esquire
Dearborn's, at which our friend, Josh
ua. and Mary, Were the chief actors.
And noW„ the staid, dignified
inn man, who walks into church with
such an important air, with his wife
on one side, and little boy on the oth

THE MASQUERADE;
A BOY'S FROLIC AND TILE COARQUENCES
It was a foolish and insane freak,
must acknowledge and one that has
cost me dearly in itoursof bitterness,
and sorrow and remorse. I had been
tramping. over the wet hills, all day,
with the pedlar, who seethed h. 'jblly,
rollicking,
sort of a fellow enough, and
made the long rough way much shor
ter and smoother by his strange talk.
He certainly was afflicted witri. what
I beard our Professor of Modern Lan
,rnacrpes term flux bouche. He talk
ed incessantly, in a rattling, discur
sive manner, pouring out jests, and
stale anecdotes, mixed up with a cer
tain coarse sentimentality-, while his
quick restless eye wandered over the
whole field of vision, as uncertain, ap
parently, in its range as his tongue.
I - had distrusted the fellow at first,
but grew to like him more, I fancy,
because his Companionship seemed to
lighten the way, than for any quail
: .ies I found iii him to elicit my ad
miration. And before we finished our
journey I became quite confidential,
with him, not as I have Since seen by
my own will, at all, but by being drawn
but by his seemingly careless and
most purposeless questions and sug
gestions.
- Thus I had told him why I preferr
ed walking- this last twenty miles over
the hill, in this sour, wet day, to wait,-
Mg until the. next but one, when the
regular stage coach passed—why, in
-fact-, I nlng ;bo-at home. that night,
because on the morrow iii. only Bis - -
ter was to be married, and nothing
could induce me to be absent ou such
an occasion.
This was perhaps more than I
should have told a person of his I
class, who had no right to be inform
ed
f the affairs of one of mine.— !,
But his skillful remarks, questions,
and moody admiration of details,
wrough;t,llne to unwonted confidence.
My theughts were full of home, so
it was extremely easy to talk of it,
and to see the wonder of my compan
ion excited by what I told, stimula

even to California from which the
bridegroom had returned to fetch

sum of money and valuables to a con-1
siderable amount in_ the house, which
the newly wedded pair would take
with them. I even described the
wedding presents Which were unusu
ally ample and I rich, and 'costly ; and
my vanity was gratified when I saw
the look of simple wonder growing
On the pedlar's face and heard his en
thusiastic though coarse exclamation
of delight. • I
My only excuses for this are that I
was a simple college youth of eigh
teen, elated and excited by my ap
preach to my home and unwonted
festivities, and that I was in skillful
hands. Before I reached home, I
waasiifil'eiently under the fellow's in
fluence to propose:- changing clothes
with him, in order that I might steal
into my mother's house in a strange
character-a . bit,' of -harmless mas
querading, the 'Suggestion of. which
seethed to come from me, though my
thoughta hid - been led to it by a se

He consented to my proposal with
seeming reluctance; :and we. stopped
in -the woods beneath some shelving
rocks thatprotected us from the mist
like rain, and made the exchange:
We separated there, he taking the
road to the village, and I going across
the fields to my mother's house:
I did pot take his pack, which he
hid in a crevice of the rocks, covered
by vines, a place where it was not
likely to be. found. Our , plan was,
for me to go and ei*ltVe lodgings at
my mother's house, as a tired wayfa
rer, leaving the inmates to find out
my disguise, if they could, while he
should take lodgings .at , the hotel in
the village, where: his good clothes
would be his best passport, though
he came on foot,. and without any
luggage..

At an early hour I was shown tire,
comfortable chamber inn-a Wing deYb
ted to the servants and farm-laborers
where I slept soundly until the dawn
of the following morning. -As Soon
as I awoke I sprang from my bed, in
,ending to . go at once to 'my room,
'dress myself - in the hanclsoMe -gar
ments which had been prepared for
and awaited me there, :and then 'pre
sent myself to my mother. ;
But while I Was hurriedly slipping
on the pedlar's garments, I saw lying
at my feet something that attracted
my curiosity. I raised it and found.
it to be a solid bit of paper, wrapped
about a pebble, which had evidently
been thrown into my low, open win
dow. I unfolded the paper, and read
these words, which were Written on
the surface.
"Come to the woods and make a I
change again. ' I must be off atonee."
I did not quite . Understand this, lint

resume the dress adapted to his :call:-
ing, and thinking I was still in time
to return,
dress and sarprise my
mother, I finished arraying xaySelfin
his garments, and then jumping from
my low window made, my way across
the fields toward tte iyOods.
At the last point,, -ere I entered
them, I turned and looked pack at the 1
house It seemed to me that there
was an unusual stir about its general
quiet precincts, but concluding it arose
from the expected wedding and its ar
rangements, I harried on, my only (
thought being' - that - as every-body
seemed awake - and stirring, I should
after all, be obliged to mae my ap
pearance in my own character.
I had sotne little difficulty in find
ing the spot where the pedlar had de
posited his pack, and where I expee

_him,
_I think it was qpite
half an hoir,:atiephaps more, ere I
reached it, and whenreached, ped
lar was visible. I called hini, and re
ceived no answer, began to look about.
I saw that the vines had been torn )
rudely from- the crevice where the
pack had been hidden. I removed
them and found that the pack wasno
longer there. "He has gene, and I
shall have to go hoMe in this dress,
after all," I thought,,aed waS tarning
to Move in that direction, when the
glittering of some article within the
crevice attracted my attention. I
thrust my hand in and drew out a
package of silver spoons, partially
wrapped in tisue paper, and Worked

The capital of the Lotribardo-Veni
tian Kingdom, so famous in history, is
once more the scene of great events s and
the eyes of the world are riveted upon
it. Milan is one of the most beautiful
.soroptpous cities of Upper Italy, and
has a population of about 160,900 per
sons, not including the Austrian garri
son and !he strangers jetnporii - rily
.dentthere. It is situated in a wide
oPen plain, between the Olona and Sa
vesa rivers, tributaries of the river Po.
It has been the scene of, many a conflict
of arms between rival nations. Milan
is a very ancient city, being founded
400 years before the . _Christian era. It
was inhabited and embellished, by many
of the Roman Emperors, and has been
the birth place of many eminent men, in
eluding a um.* of Popes. Its ancient
name was Mediolanum. It was the cap
ital of Gallia. Cisalpina. Cnejus Scip
io stormed the city in 222 B. C., and
with it fell the country into the hands
of the Romans. Under the. latter ET
jterors was Wan next to. Rope the fin
est city of the Empire, the seat of
and sciences; andaliereforecalled New
Athena ; and sometimes New Rome.—
Many of the great wars between the Re
man and Latin, and the Teutonic races,
have been decided on the plains of Mi
lan. It was herethat in 253 after Christ,
thecEmp4or,,Galienus defeated an-areir
of 300,000 Alemans. In 268, Claudius
IL. conquered the city.

various epochs the residence of the Ro,-
man Emperors. It was here, too, that
Constantine the ireatl, -signed,. in 312,
the famous act of toleration, which pe..-r
-mitted the Christian religion throughout
the Empire. When Attila, with his
Huns, invaded Italy in 452, Milan was
sacked. In 539 Vitiges, a chief of the
Goths,.cziptdred the . town, destroyed it
and put its '300,600 inhabitante-to.Ae
sword. In 570 the city and country
were occupied by the Longobardep,
