KISSED BY MISTAKE.
`Will you be at home to-night, }Jet
ty r and the speaker, a talionuseu.
well looking young farmer, red
dened to the roots of his hair, as
though he had committed some very
wicked act, instead of asking a aim.
pie question.
He was bashful, extremely so, was
JoSiah Hawley—at least in the pres
ence of young ladies—most of all in
the presence of the girl he loved. No
young farmer in all the country pos
sessed a better kept farm, or , talked
with more confidence among his com
peers of stock and crops, and on kin
dred subjects. But the glimpse of
same pretty face or foot coming in
his direction, affected him like a flash
of,tightning. On such occasions he
never know what to do with his hands
or eyes, and always felt like - screwing
. himself into a mouse hole. How he
ever contrived to approach Hetty
Thomas on the subject of his prefer
ence for her, probably remains as
much. a mystery to
° himself . as it is to
others.'„ . =• •
Bat the young lady had quite an
amount of tact and cleverness stowed
away some Where in her pretty little
head, albeit it was set on the dimpled,
inexperienced shoulders of seventeen.
Josiah was not worth, in a worldly
way, much more than any of her suit
ors ;. good looking and intelligent
enough to satisfy any one but an .ov
er fastidious person ; unexceptiona
ble, in short, barring hie bashfulness,
which was a fruitful source of merri
men, to the young people in their lit
tle circle. And so, when Josiah in
his awkward, blundering way, began
to exhibit his preference for her in
various little ways, such as waiting on
her to and from singing school, con
stituting himself . ..her especial escort
when she rode on horseback to the
solitary church in the woods, and
singling her out at quilting parties,
Hetty took it all in the easiest, pleas
antest manner possible. The- girls
laughed, and the young cracked sly
jokes at tho expense of her timid
suitor; but Hetty stood up for him
very independently—encouraged him
out of his shyness—never noticed any
unfortunate blunder—and very likely
helped him - Meng considerably when
his feelings reached 'the culminating
point,' one moonlightautumn evening,
as they were walking home together
from prayer meeting.
That was a week ago. Hetty bad
said 'yes,' and agreed to 'bring father
and mother round on the ,spbje.et.'---.-
Josiah had not been at the liOnSe.Oince
—likely feeling very much like a dqg
venturing upon the premises of a per
son whose sheepfold had just been
plundered. Asyet neither had the cour
age to speak to the 'reigning powers'
on the subject; and Hetty, feeling as
if she wished to put the ordeal off - as
long as possible, at any rate to have
one more confidential talk with him
on the subject said :
'Mother is going over to aunt Ruth's
to spend the evening, and wants me
to g o; but I guess I won't. I've been
working on father's shirts all day,be
sides doing the dairy work ; so I guess
she will have to go without me. Do
not•come till eight o'clock. I shall be
through putting things to rights then,
and will let you in.'
• Of course Josiah was not too 'obtuse
to understand that, and so faroforgot
his bashfulness as to petition for a
good-bye kiss, which was peremptori•
ly refused of course.
'No . , havn't. Do take yourself
off. Do you think I didn't see you
fidgetting around Sarah Jones at Dea
con Bangor's yesterday evening?
have not forgotten that, sir !'
•
'Now, Hetty
But the appeal was broken off"by
taunting little laugh; and as he sprang
forward to take a pleasant little re.
veuge one his tormentress, she slipped
and ran up the path to the house,
where he saw her waive her hnnd as
she disappeared within the kitchen
porch ; and then turned from the gate
and took the road homeward.
The tea things had been carried
out, and the table set back against
the wall, the crumbs brushed frills the
clean home made carpet, and Hetty's
stand drawn up to the blazing fire.—
A beautifully piled plate of great red
apples and-a plate .ofcracked ‘.talnuks
were on it, in close proximity to Act•
ty's work.basket.
On one side of the fire sat Mrs.
Thomas, fat and,fair, and at peace
with all the worl ; rocking and knit.
tiug u and refreshing herself at sundry
intervals with a bite from a half-eaten
apple that lay on the corner of the
table and touching every now and .
then in a caressing manner with
her foot, a sleek, lazy looking cat
that purred and winked on the rug
before her. Hetty sat on the other
side, sewing and busy thinking how
she could tell her mother she expected
a visitor. She would have given the
world to be able to say in an off-hand
manner that she expected Mr. Haw
ley to drop in about eight. But she
recollected, with a twinge of con
science, how she had tried to get the
old lady to acc - impany her husband
to-aunt Ruth's, spite of her warning
of a spell of neuralgia; how she also
plead headache as an excuse for not
going herself, And she linew her
Mother, was. quite sharp enough to
draW her own interference from these
facts, and from her beiiig dkessed with
unusual care to spend. an evening at
home,
iI shall not dare to tell now. She
will be sure to think I Wished to get
her out of the way 56 I might have
Josiah all to myself And I shall never
hear the last of it." And like a wise
little puss she was silent.
I'll venture my word on it, you
would not have wondered at our young
farmer's enthrallment .if you could
have seen Hetty Thomas as she sat
by the fireside in that November eve
ning.
Under pretext of being ready to go
to her unele'e(a thi ng she had no idea
of doing,) she bad just befbre tea, in
dulged in an indiscriminate fixing up.'
A neat fitting, dark. Calico, with the.
store look gill on it, a fresh ' linen
collar and tasteful black silk apron—
these were the chief items of 'Jetty's
toilet; but she .looked as sweet and
dainty in hefplaid dress as if an hour
had been spOot in donning lace and
jewels. 11%. rich hair, of the dark
est tinge, fell.-in shining folds close to
her warm tkeheeks, and was caught.
up in a cunnt* knot behind.
Eighto!clOckWas past I Mrs. Thom
as was dozinitkey chair—hershad
. ,
ow on the o posite wall
,bobbing
around in grotesque mimicry as she
nodded to and fronow crushing
the voluminous white satin bows on
her spruce cap against the back of the
chair—now almost falling forward,
and her fat hands lay listlessly in her
lap, and her ball of yarn had rolled
out upon the hearth, and puss was
busy converting it into Gordian knots.
And just then came a double rat) at
the door—so loud, sudden, and self
assured, that Betty started up with
a little shriek, and set her foot on
puss' tail, who in turn gave voice to
the arty*ment and displeasure.
The combined noise aroused Mrs.
Thomas, and startling into an erect
position, she rubbed here eyes, set
tied her cap border, and exclaimed :
'Bless my soul, Hetty, what was
that ?. Somebody at the door ? Who
can be coming at this time of night ?'
'lt is not late mother—only a little
past 8. I'll go and see who it is,' said
Hetty, demurely taking the candle
from the table.
'No. You wind up my ball, and
sweep up the- hearth, while go to
the door,' said the old lady, whose feet
were struggling in.the means of the
unraveled yarn. "Drat that cat !"
All this time Josiah was standing
on one foot on the cold porch, with
his hands in his overcoat pockets,won
daring if natty had fallen asleep,and
every now and then giving that door
a smart rap by way of variety,
In her hurry, Mrs. Thomas forgot
to take the candle, and shestepped
out into the little front entry, the sit
ting room door slapped alter her.—
She had her hand on the handle of
the hall door at the moment, and
opening it suddenly, found herself in
the;embrace of a stout pair of arms,
a whiskered face in close proximity
to her own, and, before she could
think about the strangenqs of her
situation, she received a prolonged
kiss—a hearty smack L-full upon her
virtuous matron lips.
'O, murder 'Taint Obettia.b, neith.
er 1"
.She had by this time divested her
self of the impression that it was her
usually sober spouse, who must have
come horrie in an unusually exalted
condition, thus to indulge-in such un•
wonted expressions of affection.
'Get out ! Get out, I say ! Who
are you anyhow ? Murder 7 thieves I

Bat the intruder had by this time
discovered the mistake—it did not
need the indignant pummeling and
scratching of the old lady's vigorous
fists to cause him to relinquish his
hold and fly as iF pursued by some in
digmant ghost.
'limy nearly choking with smoth

tion, now came to the rescue,
I never was so frightened in, all, my
life. Who could it be? Hetty, have
you any idea ?'
But that dutiful daughter was, to
all appearance, innocent as a sucking
dove. She soothed the old lady, rep
resenting that it might have been one
of the neighbors, who had mistaken
the house and the housewife. She
searched the entry fur the missing
spectacle, dropped in the scuffle; re
arranged the rumpled cap border;
wound up the tangled yarn; stirred
up the fire—all in the Most amicable
manner possible—and at length had
the satisfaction of seeing her mother
subside into her chair with her accus
tomed tranquility:
kr& Thomas was now fully awake.
She had •a new. idea in her ,head, and
instead of setting herself , ,up for an
other nap, she pursued the train of
thought and her knitting, both at the

Hetty was wonderful busy. She
bent over her work, and drew her

TRIP TO ENGLAND
. .
In the beginning of January last,
I jumped aboard one of Tapscott
Co.'s Packet ships—bound for Liver
pool. The anchor was soon heaved,
and, in a comparatively short time I
found Myself gradually going down
the East Elver into New York Bay.
It was one
. of these cold and disagree:
able days,' incident td ,that season of
the year, when .old SoLobseured by
the thick clouds ofo. Juuoury snow
storm, failed to pour out his
. genial
rays on
of
and shivering pas
sengers of tiie;'Constellation,"—a day
whose repetition uceurred quite fro.
quently on the voyage. Yet, despite
the benumbing cold and apparently
gloomily prospects, before me, my buoy
apt spirits could never flag. As
saw the shores of. my dear native
land fast-receding from view, I expe
rienced a strange sensation of delight.
The foaming surges that were wafting
us on the "Outward Bound," I felt as
sured, would soon carry us across the
mighty Deep to that land where my
eager spirit had long 4go reveled in
anticipation. For years I ,had prom
ised myself this Pleasnee, and although
I saw many things intervening to pre
vent its consummation, yet, with the
strong arm of hope to break down
these barriers of :.improbability, I
would. never ,despair, and this morn
ing, in. all the glow of expectancy, 1
could almost see my desires realized.
Land was soon lost sight of, and
we must now imagine an interim of
ahout,
.2E3 days,—during which time
we had nothing to vary the monot
ony of sky and water pave the 'com
pany of softie' happy sea-gulls, who
alternately soaring high in the air,
and then skimming over the Illrr face
of a wave, afforded as much amuse
ment,—=and the result/4in bring us
safely landed on terra firma at Liver
pool. The. voyage- was an extremely
rough one,, although we had some
"bright and : joyous" days when the
"troubled waters" would subside into
eom paretic° ease. One .of -these de
lightful days et:Cuffed in Inid.oapan.
Just recovered from a severe Spell' of
seasickness, we thought it advisable
to rise early and inhale the pure sea
air—a medicine that gives a fresh im
petus to the body, and does more f'or
the. well-being of a person than any
thing he can take. Away to the
east. bedecking the horizon with a
golden light, might be seen the first
peep of the rising sun,—earnestly
striving to make his way from behind
a burning mass of smol,ten gold, and
the heaving billows, not entirely sub
sided from the agitation of the night
befure,—at tithes overshadowing it, by
a mountain barrier of water, and then
receding into the trough of the great
sea,—gave additional beauty to a seen e
at once impressive and amusing.
,On the 3d of February,, T7 a.beauti•
ful Sunday morning,-1 found myself
comfortably seated, in company with
several other passengerS, iu a Liver
pen! hotel. At the instance of ono
of them, a large mug of ale was
brought on the table. We found no
diffictilty in disposing of it, for, after
the fatigues of a journey across the
Atlantic, it seemed delightful. In
justice to English iife, by the way,
we must award to it a superiority
over anything we ever drank at home.
At din n.er, also, we hailw
another"eak
ndia" of the ngliab man, viz :—roast
beef—and here again we must say, ia
a strict adherence to the truth, that
its merits are by no means exaggera
ted.
Objects of interest in Liverpool are
scarce,—the
principal features being
centred in the exquisite workman.
ship of their docks. The inhabitants
claim their superiority over anything
in the world. Whether this be so, or
not, of course we cannot say; yet,
from our limited knowledge of such
affairs, we must allow them the palm
over anything we have ever seen.—
New York and Philadelphia bear no
comparison. They are built of a sort
of sandstone, and some marble, 'and
open and close something like a canal
lock,—the vessels being thus locked
in. The array of shipping we beheld
there, also, seems almost incredible,
and, from the shades of countenance
and peculiar appearances of hundreds
'.of sailors we saw parading the streets,
v. a might suppose that every -country
WHOLE NO. 627.
in the world had its representatives
there. Liverpool, also, boasts of some
very fine, - buildings,—atnong others,
the exchange. ft occupies a -large
space 'of ground with a yard or court
in the .centre. In this yard is a large
bronze statue of the death of Lord
Nelson.;.• It is the finest specimen of,
the kind.We.have seen in all England

about , .fifteeo. feet -in' circumference,

making, together, the finest design
we ever beheld.
After sojourning hero fur a.few
days •we found ourself comfortably
seated in a railroad car, en route for
the ancient and historical town of
Pontefract, in Yorkshire. The first
thing that attracted our attention
was the exposure to which engineers
en English railroads are subjected.—
Entirely unlike those at home, he has
no covering to keep off the blast and
cold, and, with only a glass window
about a foot in diameter to shelter
his face, he stands exposed to all sorts
of weather. A French engineer with
whom I became acquainted on the way
home told me that the same custom
was iii vogue there, under the idea
(we think erroneous) that comforta
ble quarters engender habits of care
lessness, and, therefore, subject pas=
sengers to greater peril. In the course
of .seventy miles of railroading, we
passed through six tunnels—several
of which were,over a mile In length.
This, we are told, is attributable to
the scarcity, and of course great val
ue, of land — tunneling there what
would be 'cut down in America.—
Some highly cultivated and beautiful
farms come to view in Yorkshire—
the district being, as we understand,
principally agricultural. Scientific
fairining, also, such as draining, ma
dze., is brought up to a very
high standard in these parts, and ev
erywhere .along the road might be
seen pipes, of varies size and calibre,
peeping their ends out from beneath
a covering of several feet of soil, and
emptying their contents in the gully
below.
Arrived:at our destination, a few
minutes thereafter found us comfort
ably seated beside the cheerful hearth,
in pleasant association with those of
our "Kith and Kin." How pleasant
to see the ruddy glow of an English
grate, as, with happy faces all around,
and the blast of old Boreas wailing
outside, we gather up closer and clo
ser, to enjoy its warmth the more.—
Here, truly, is centred the poetry of
the "happy fireside," .and the more
we experienced it the more we real.
ized its truth. The ruins of an an-.
cient castle give a historical interest
to this place, and, one beitutifit sun
shine morning, in company with an l
old resident, we visited what still re
mains of it. It is fast crumbling to
decay, and where once stood the huge
battlements and menacing hosts of
Richard IL now creeps the ivy, en.
twining its tendrils over these once
great and majestic barriers to liberty.
A quiet monotony, also, enwraps the
place where once the dread clamor of
war resounded; and, as we look in
dreamy contemplation on the scene,
imagination brings back the vision of
a strange class of persons all around,
with habits and customs entirely dif
ferent from anything we had ever
seen before. In passing over it, we
come to the dungeon where the Duke
of Lancaster was imprisoned. Bow

London was the next place of inter
est we visited, and, as the shrill whis
tle of the locomotive announced our
arrival, we naturally looked for the
"houses," but, owing to our situation,
we could see nothing of it as yet.—
As soon as we emerged from the cars
a familiar sound greeted, our ears—
" Have a cab, sir?" Jc.c., being repeated
in quick succession, by a dozen or
more of cockney drivers. We secur
ed one, and such a cab! Instead of
the luxurious accommodations of the
New York "style," an old, dingy-look
ing, box constituted our apartments,
and the creaking noise and jaryieg
motion we were annoyed with, pro
duced some misgivings as to whether
it was capable of carrying myself :iltd

so perceptibly as on this occasion:-eu
The walls are plastered over with
some sort of cement, and those who
are supposed to know express every
confidence in its entire safety The
walls around the stairway at either
end-are beautifully adorned with paint
ings, and, although making no pre
tensions asst© our capability to:judge
of their meritywe still found enough
of interest in them to attract our at
tention for a long while. Emerging
at the other extremity, we inquired
the distance to the Tower, and were
informed that an hour's walk, in a
direct line, would bring us to this ins
teresting place. The duty performed,
we foetid ourself in •frant of a large
gate, gfearsted by a sehtry on eithe'r
side. Passing through without -any
molestation, we nest proceeded to ti
little house in the enclosure, and there
glear-ed the information that, by pay
ing a small sum, we would receive
visitors' tickets, allowing us the priv
ilege of seeing all the curiosities-there:.
There are ushers here, and every half
hour there is one to accompany the
visitors present through the build
ings. After passing up through a long
yard, which is enclosed by a Wall of
stone about ten feet high, we were
shown into the room containing sam 7
pies of armor worn by different Kings
of England. The first that attracted
011 i• atteetiernwas the complete horse
and body armor of Henry VIII. He
is represented en a wooden horse,.
life size, and the color and propor
tions of the animal and the position
of, its rider are -said to be a perfect
fax sianile of their prototype—lacking
of course, animation. Many other
specimens of the same order came to
view—among others, James I and
Charles 11, but a want of space wilt
nut allow their mention. After leav e
ing the armor room, we were next in
troduced into a sort of museum of
relics. Here are arrayed in proper
order, and labelled, specimens of can
non taken at Waterloo and other bat
tles tip :Which the English were engag
ed. Theicout. of General:Wolfe, when,
Lae,fell at Quebec, containing the blood'
stein, is also on exhibition here, and -
thousands of ether historical 'curiosi
ties, of which we could make but a .
partial memorandum. In the next'
apartment, where all the instruments
of torture and execution are preserv
ed, we saw the "beheading block" on
which many a nobleman of England
lost his life, and also the identical axe
that decapitated, in addition to hun
dreds of others, the heads of Henry
the VIII wives. What a strange pent
sation pervaded my whole being at
the sight of such objeCts es- these.—
After noticing- many. other inetra•
ments of ; the same order, we were
next ushered into the jewel room.—
Here, protected by a large glass cage,
are the jewels of The crown
yf England, worn on royal occasions
by her Majesty, is a beautiful speci
men, containing a magnificent large
ruby, said to have been worn by the
Black Prince, with a handsome sap
pline, and studded with diamonds.---s
There is also a much-larger crown,
said to have been made for Henry
VIII, on exhibition. The Prince of,
Wales' "head piece" is also here—not
forgetting the royal communion ser
vice, baptismal fount, and sceptres, a
representation, in gold, of the Tower,
(worth £5,000) the sword of peace, &c.
After leaving all these novel sights,
we were shown into an building in an ,
other part of the enclosure, and after
going up A dismal looking staircase,.
found ourselves in the room where
prisoners were used to be confined. Al
though, the place has undergone some
repairs; great Care was taken to pre--
serve the plastered walls of the origi
nal; and many inscriptions thereon—
quite illegible from a„cre,however,—no
doubt speak a tale - of suffering,
The Zoological Gardens, British
Museum, and St. Paul's Cathedral
were the next places of• interest we
visited, and, although wts avOuld very
much like to detail, a -stresspass

beheld the entrance of Weatminister
Abbey, the Houses of Lords and Coin
'mon, Buckingham Palace (her Majes
ty's residence when Parliament is in
sesiiioli;) and Windsor - Castle—about.
18 miles from London. Hyde Park,
