When— 'Tis idle to dispute with Fate ; But if you choose to hear me tell, Pray listen while I fix the date : When daughters haste with eager feet A mother's daily toil to share, Can make the puddings which they eat, And mend the stockings which they wear ; When maidens look upon a man As in himself what they would marry, And not as army soldiers scan A sutler or a commissary ; When gentle ladies, who have got The offer of a lover's hand, Consent to share his "earthly lot," And do not mean his lot of laud ; When young mechanics are allow'd T 9 find and wed the farmers' girls, Who don't expect to be endow'd With rubies, diamonds, gems and pearls ; When wives, in short, shall freely give Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses, And live as they were wont to live Within their sires' one-story houses; Then, madam—if I'm not too old— Rejoiced to quit this lonely life, I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold, And look about me for a vars. I was always a lucky fellow, and the most fortunate thing that ever happened to me was being born a Smith. Listen. Three years ago I had just been jilted, and was out of money. That doesn't sound lucky; but it was the prelude to the best of luck. I concluded to go into the country, down at Plymouth, to my uncle's house—partly that the murmurs of the sea might soothe my inward perturbation, partly to save a month's board. I stepped on board the early down train. It was full of silly six o'clock passengers, mostly men. The sun was shining on the water, but the fog was hugging the banks, and clinging to the burnished surface of the tide. 1 suppose a poet could have made something pretty out of the sight, but I only wrapped myself closer in my overcoat, and looked at it sulkily. After a while I got listening to two men who sat behind me. "A pretty girl with a fortune isn't al ways to be had for the asking." " Oh, but the girl isn't asked, I take it, It's all arranged by her aunts, and she'll acquiesce. She's shilling pretty, but a mere child--not sixteen, I believe. They had another fellow booked for her, but he died down in New Orleans of the yellow fever last fall." And she's never seen this Smith?" No, nor they either. The aunts plot ted with Mr. Dunbar, the guardian, and he picked Smith up for them, opened a cor respondence, and got Rose to write a letter or two. Smith professes to be in love with her letters, and her picture; but of course it's the money—forty thousand if she marries before she's seventeen." " If the girl amounts to anything, it's a deuced shame!" She does amount to something. She has the making of a splendid woman in her, but nobody knows it, or cares. They are bent only on saving the money for her. If she forfeits it, it goes to some pet char ity of her crazy old grandfather's. lie was always an old tyrant, and as eccen tric as the d-1." " You know Smith's' " Only by sight, but I know a chum of his, Burton, and got the story, with a copy of a letter of the girl's. I've seen her many a time down on the shore, al ways with her dragon aunts." " Where's the letter?" =I "I've got it here in my wallet. Now, you know the right sortof a man won't have his girl's letters hawked about among his associates. He let Burton take this copy, and Burton gave it to me. Let me see—this is it. Listen: " DEAR MB. SMITH; My aunts wish me to reply to your kind letter. Ido not know what to say. lam not accustomed to writing to gentlemen; but I must tell you that I was sorry to have aunt Sophy send you that picture of me; I am not near so pretty; it flatters me very much. You are so handsome that you will want a beautiful wife; so I don't think you ought to be deceived. I don't want to be mar ried; but my aunts say I must, on account of the money; and perhaps it may turn out right. lam very lonely here. I would like to live in a large city, and aunt Sophy says you would do everything to please me. "Have you any sisters? Will your mother like me? I always wanted sisters, and a mother of my own. Ido not know what else to tell you, except that if you love me, I will do whatever you want me to. Very truly yours, ROSE RoGmus." There were comments upon, and a laughing discussion of, the letter, which was certainly very unique. But as we rattled along there was a bump, a shock, the cars stood still, and everybody was in consternation. " We are off the track; be patient a lit tle while," said the conductor, passing through. But in consequence of this little acci dent, it was two o'clock before we got down in Plymouth. As we swarmed out upon the platform, I noticed a very pale young man, not unlike myself in looks, emerge from the foremost car—his coat sleeve torn out, and a violet purple bruise on his forehead. "If that should be the lover Smith, now," said I to myself, " what a plight he Is in!" .ily fo . Ws u LANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY„TITLY 16, 1869. Nottrp. WHEN I MEAN TO MARRY. Piortilancouo. SMITH'S GOOD LUCK. 11e seemed very much out of humor, and beckoned angrily to a hackman, jump , ing into a carriage, and desiring to be taken to the best hotel. After that I saw several other persons more or less dis ordered and bruised by the railroad acci dent. I was leaving the depot when a colored coachman Lowed before me. " Beg pardon. sir—Mr. Smith?" "Yes "Carriage is waiting. Step this way, sir, if you please sir.'' I followed him, wondering if indeed my uncle had sent up a carriage. It used to be my aunt's pet hobby—a barouche, with the old English coat-of-arms, which had, indeed, belonged to us, but had been in disguise since the impoverishment of Raleigh Smith, of England. I wasn't quite sure what they were, but believed it was a sword and a helmet upon a piece of parchment; but it proved to be a pen and a sword against a palete, which was very appropriate, as there had been scholars, artists, and military men among our an cestors. " All well?" I asked good naturedly. " All well," answered Sambo with a grin, shutting the door. Then he looked k to say with another grin: " Ladies very gay this mornin'." If my stately aunt and cousin were gay, it was certainly worth remarking; so I laughed a little, and Sambo chuckled a again, and jumped upon his seat. We rattled through the streets, under an arch, up an avenue. Things began to look strange. "Where are we?" I asked, as Sambo opened the carriage -door. " Do they live here?" " Yes, sir. Here's Mr. Dunbar, sir." At the same moment an elderly gentle man rushed out to the terrace to meet me. "Why Smith, you are wonderfully late," he exclaimed, shaking hands with me. " The cars ran off the track," I an swered; and before I could say anything else he hustled me into the house. • "Everything ready. Hurry with your toilet and come down. Pity you trimmed your whiskers so close; it alters your ap pearance very much. Robert help Mr. Smith dress. Right in here, Smith. Hurry now, the ladies are waiting." I Mind myself in a luxurious dressing room, and a mulatto was respectfully in attendance. I sat down and looked at "What is your name?" "Robert, sir. Will you be so kind as to hurry, sir. They are waiting on you." I gave him the key to my portmanteau, and resigned myself to my fate, whatso ever it might be. But things were very strange. "Where is my uncle?" asked I, as Rob ert dexterously arranged my garnet sleeve buttons. "Your uncle? Oh, yes, sir," with a bad attempt at not smiling, "he's with the ladies, Mr." "How long have you lived here?" "Don't know, sir. I've only been here a day or two. There, sir; do you want anything more?" No; I was arrayed in my best apparel, and looked well, though my whiskers, in stead of being trimmed, were of early growth, and never had been of any length. I was met at the foot of the stairs by the irrepressible Mr. Dunbar. "It's all fixed," said he. LYou'll be married at once. I had different arrange ments made; was going to give you and Rose a chance to get a little acquainted; but that railroad delay spoiled that. The Rev. Mr. Lawson is here. Come right along. A stiff upper lip, now." lie led me into a long reception room. Some ladies shook hands with me. A tiny, golden-haired creature was put at my side. The clergyman married us. Then there was a chatter of congratula tions. One woman with a horrible scarlet head-dress put her hand on my arm and drew me aside. "What arrangements have you made for your wedding trip?" asked she. "None," I answered, truthfully. "But you are going to New York for a week or two?" I thought New York as good a place to go as any, if I was expected to go some where, and answered yes. "Aunt Sophy," said a trembling little voice at our elbows, "what must I do now?" "Run up stairs and put on your travel ing dress, child. Your aunt Margaret will assist you." It was my 'wife. She never looked at me, but ran away again. Refreshments were circulating. I tried very hard not to go crazy. At last Dunbar came to me again. "All ready, Smith. Carriage is wait ing. You'll catch the evening train with smart driving." They hustled me out again, kissed Rose, and shook hands with me, and we two, alone, were driving pell-mell to the depot. I bought tickets for New York, gave Sambo live dollars, and we were off. Well, we got into New York at mid night. I took a carriage to the St. Nich olas, took tooms, locked the door, and told my wife all about it. She looked at me awhile with her great blue eyes, and then said innocently: " Well, I don't know as it makes any difference." After all, what difference did it make? The disheveled young man with the bump ed forehead proved to be the expe ;ted Smith, but he didn't arrive until half an hour after our departure. Dunbar came after us, raving, but there was nothing to be done. Rose was satisfied; the other man was n't,' but I imagine he was a fellow of bad luck. 1 ___ a 1 _ ~.. a' t, . ~ ,___,........., \ orne the battle, and to do all n'hic/ may fnd a lasting peace 1 maStosurov-4 JOININO THE MASONS. Knobbs has joined the Masons, and here is his experience in getting into a / Lodge: I must tell you of the perils and trials I had to undergo to become a Mason. On the evening in question I presented my self at the door of the Lodge room, No. :Kuftit, sign of the skull and cross bones. I was conducted to the ante-room, where five or six melancholy chaps, in sashes and embroidered napkins, were waiting to receive me. On my entrance they all got up and turned back somersaults, and then resumed their seats. A big fat fellow, who sat in the middle, and who seemed to be the proprietor, then said: "Sinner front the other world, ad vance!" ' I advanced. "Will you give up anything to join us?'' "Not if I know it," I said; "there's my wife and fourteen line—" Another party here told me to say yes, as it was merely a matter of form. So I said, "Yes, I will give up every thing." The fellows in the towels then groaned and said: " 'Tis well. 1)o you swear never to reveal anything you see or hear this even ! ing, to any human being,, or to your wife?" I said, " , Pon my word, I will not." They then examined my teeth and felt my tongue, then groaned again. I said: "If you don't feel well, I have got a little bottle here." The fat man here took the bottle from me and told me • to shut up. lie then in a voice of thunder said: "Bring forth the goat!" Another fellow then comes up with a cloth to bind me. "No you don't, Mr. Mason," I said; "No tricks on travelers, it' you please; I don't believe in playing blind-man's-buff with a goat; I'll ride the devil, if you like, but I don't go it blind. Stand back, or I'll knock you into smithereens." They were too much for me, however, so I had to submit to being blindfolded. The goat was then led in, and I could hear him making an awful racket among the furni ture. I began to feel that I was urgently needed at home, but I was in for it, and could not help myself. Three or four fellows then seized me, and with a demonaical laugh pitched me on the animal's back, telling me at the same time to look out for squalls. I have been in many many scrapes, Mr, Editor; I have been in election fights; I have been pitched out of a four-story window; but this little goat excursion was ahead of them all. The confounded thing must be all wings and horns. It bumped me against chairs and the ceiling, but I held on like a Trojan. I turned front somer saults and rolled over. I thought it was all over with me, and just as I was on the point of giving up, the bandage fell from my eyes, and the goat bounded through the window with a yell like a wild Indian giving up the ghost. I was in a Lodge of Masons. They were dancing a war-dance around a big skull, and playing leap-frog and turning hand-springs, and the big fat fellow of the ante-room wai standing on his head in a coiner.
