I am a man of s mpathy. The tuisfor tunes of my fellow mortals have moved me with pity, their wrongs with indigna tion. and their happiness with gladness. Thus from the days ol my childhood haVe niy friend- poured into my sympathizing ear the stories ol their grief, anger and joy, always sure to awaken in my breast kindred emotions. How olfen when ut Boarding school have my comrades be sceched tue to conceal in my roo n the sack ot apples which they were suspected ol stealing; and how often, when t- e sack ol apples was discovered, have I—in dur ance vile, smarting from the effects of ra tan heaped imprecations upon that fruit so productive of wo to the human race, lroin our grandmother Eve down to the sympathizing schoolboy, Samuel Wiikins When Hick c- me to me with a graphic account of T irn's tyranny, my heart be came brimfull ol indignation, and when, an hour or two later, i'oui came to me with a graphic account of Dick's meanness, how my contempt hntnd vent in words only less v hemetit. than those of Tom's, and how the next day —Tom and Dick having be come last, friends again, and having admin istt red to me a sound thrashing for my 'dou de faei'd hvpocracy'—did 1 deplore my sympathizing nature. it is a matter of no little wonder to me that 1 have hemd. throughout my life, so many tri rids involved in pecuniary difiieul ties, who confide tn me their misfortunes in such heartrending terms that I at last fairly implored them to make use of my purse as if it were their own —which re quet they have so literally complied with, that I have never received a cent of the money back. I was devoted to Miss Brown, and al though naturally Uiode>t, flattered myself that 1 did not altogether was e my effec lions on the desert air. On the evening ol the 25th of June, 18—(I shall never forget the late.) 1 nervei myself and di rented my steps to the residence ot Miss Brown, resolved to end my suspense and offer my heart, etc. ere Bur. Miss Brown was not. at home. As I sorrowfully wended my way homeward, I passed the residence ut Miss Robison, a young lady who was fast approaching that dubious period de tuoniiiated a "eerta n age." My evil genius prompted me to enter. 1 found Miss Robinson apparently stink to the deepest depths of despair and weening Froi'onud ly moved, I approached and implored her to eonfile to me the cause ol hei grief, so that if I could not assuage it. 1 might at least mourn with her. She at first re I used, hut at R.t moved by entreaties, in broken utterance told me the story of her woe. Mr (Joiringdon having ensnared her youthful affections, and having reneatcdly avowed his love, now had ceased calling oil li*.r. and was paying great attention to Mis* Brown. My first impulse was to pro coed iiiimediatly lo castigate the heathen, Mr Oodriiigton, but, remembering that he was reported to be an adept in the manly art, I desisted, and contented myself with muttering 'Base villiati!' • —to act thus toward a young and help le*s orphan !' she cried •Weep not,' I said consolingly; 'I will he your father, mother, brother hus band.' 'Ah !' she exclaimed sinking upon my shoulder. At this moment the d >or opened, and M'ss Robinson's ei ier brother entered. L rose, an 1 Miss R ibiiisou, with he greatest sang froid, said : 'Augustus, I believe yon are already acquainted with Mr Wiikins, but let me introduce him as your future brother iu law.' I stood struck with amazement as he grasped my hand '.dr. Wiikins,' he exclaimed, 'I know of no person I would prefer to you as a brother' • But—' I endeavored to explain. 'One who possesses so many qualities of the head and heart to uiake himself beloved by all his ftiends, he continued. 'But really—' I again commenced, when a gentleman entered the apartment. 'Mr Smith—Mr. Wiikins.' I glared furiously at the individual who had thus iuturrupted uie by his untimely visit. Ho drew back timidly, and sank into a chair. 'My future brother, Augus tus,' soon after left. lam convinced that Miss Robinson must have passed a very pleasant evening. Mr. Smith evidently endeavored to be very agreeable; but in the midst of a sentence, his eye would catch uiine fixed upon him with an ex prcssion of intense hatred —the sentence ended in an indistinct murmur, and he moved his chair farther from me Len deavored to speak; but my tongue clave to the rol of my mouth. Thus we sat in silence only broken by convulsive but vain attempts at conversation, while hour after hour passed ny I was determined not to depart until I had an explanation with Miss Robinson, but Mr. Smith, his countenance strongly expressive ot em barrassment nud tear, sat immovable. I at last gave up the contest and, bowing i dubiously to Miss Robiusoo, stiffly to Mr. Eiswuswewsra S£EKKLJI:£
