POPPING THE QUESTION.
By. Charles J. Peterson.
We have a dear little coan—half rose-bud,
half lily !—who teases 0, whenever we meet, to
tell her how the question is popped. She is but
fourteen, but in these days, between boarding
schools and halts, girls of that age are as knowing
as their grandmothers were at twenty. We sup
pose she wishes to learn in time, so ns to be
ready fc.r the first chance that offers. Dear girl!
she little imagines that the question usually pops
itself. Yours folks reqUire no eicOn such pleas
ant emergenclrs—unlv give two lovers fair play,
and send your match-making aunts and the child.
ren to Coventry—and our - word for it, some eve
ning when least expected, the question will pop
out like a cork from a chanopaig no bottle. We
would give our fair cousin some instructions if we
could'; btit she would propably forget them all,
and find her heart in her throat besides, when the
question came' to he popped to herself. So we
will content ourselves with a story, which she
may Mink true or not, as she likes.
Kate Spencer was one of your delicious little
vixens that steal away the heart with - a merry
laugh, a pair of bright eyes, or an hour- of-playful
raillery. §:lie was a bit of a flirt; es indeed what
girl named Kate is not I There's a fatality about
that cognomen. Every Kate that I have known
,has taken to coquetting t . as naturally as a cat to'
canary birds.
iKateSpencer was a Witching creature. If you
could have seen her 6°4[143'11g across the lawn, or
gathering wild-flowers to adorn her heir, or' heard
her warbling some merry lay in the morning, you
would have worshippe}l hhr as you would nor,
ship a ,Rosalind. or, an Ariel, for she seemed a
Compound,of both. At. love. she toughed : it
was a trap or fools," she said. ilui! people who
make traps, sometimes 'are the first ', to !fall into
them.

Kate was in herteighteenthsumtner when her
bosom friend, Lucy Whartott,;was married ; and
Kate was bridesmaid. Her partner, Harry Neville,
was a fine. dashing felloW, with a pretty estate,
and a communion in the nrniy. He and Kate
were wall matched. He cared no more for her
raillery than for a Mexican battery; and, in fact.
her wit was to his, like the trumpet to the - war:
horse. It did one good to see a passage of arms
between them! But being bridesmaid and grooms.
man is u dangerous recreation. Marrying, like
the yellow fever, is an infectious disease, and one
never Catches it so quickly as at another'e wed
ding. If I was a ydung bachelor, and wished to
remain one, I would run to the world's end rather
than wait 913 a pretty girl. you may pic-nic with
a seraph, or sleigh with an hotiri, but be no grooms
rnalf With a sensible girl like Kate Spencer was.
Harry Neville, however, was bomb-proof to such .
things, at least he'considered himself so, and had
been hitherto. Besides, he bad been told Kale
was a flirt, and he wits on his guard.
And tow was it with Kate? Dear eoz.! have
you ever seen a flirtation begun in fun, and ended
in earnest? kate was flattered by havin; a part
ner like Harry Neville, and put forth all, her pow
ers of pleasing, resolute to bring the flirtation to a
.clOse before there was danger; but flirtations, like
thorough breds, sometimes run away, with you ;
and so, at a week's end, what between the cast
ternary Attentions of a' groomsman, and a some
thing peculiar to Harry, Kate began to be interest
elfin her companion more than she chose to Can
fess.
The wedding was bold in the .country, im the
midst of a rich district, and for several weeks the
young couple were involved in a round of enter
tainments. Give Me a country wedding after , all!
There are the long rides, tele-a tetes, by moon
light—the
spending dull hours in flirtations with
your partner—the boating parties, ;the rambles
through the Woods, the summer evenings beneath
the arbor in the garden, and a hundred other
things, which town folks, who get married at day
breaki'and then;!Vace over half. the ;states for a;
month, have no more idea of thanla lap dog of
moonlight.
"nsibly, ale tin"- Kate!
And so, insensibly, love stole upon ..ate :
Neville was not a mere wit, no more than her•
self, and.often, laying aside his raiil4ry„he wouid
indulge the natural enthusiasm of his character,
until he paused finally at his own impassioned
Words. At such times Kate wriuld i eit, long after
going to her chamber, unconsciously' gazing up at
the calm, still sky; but bet thoughts would be on
Neville; and these reveries usually ended with
a sigh
A woman in love, whether flirt or nor, is often
blind; nor could Kate discover If devil►e loved
hyr or, not. ,At times there was that in his tones
made her heart thrill; but if the moat ordinary ac
quaintance would
„approach, Neville always saun
tered away indifferently, with some gay remark.
Kate chided her own weakniss, but in vain;
sence is the only cure for such a 'parcion, and the
wedding parties were not yet half trier._ he fear.

In such a mood she was when called on to dress

and she* was greatly relieeed when a gentleman
C 3
approached just as the music struck up, and 'asked
her to dance. She took his hand and was led'oat.
" Excuse me," said Neville, accosting her corn•

Me this set. I appeal to her." .• • •
" She shall decide," said her partner blandly.-
Kate remembered well the engagement, but she
was vexed and rejoiced at. this cipportunity'•for
revenge; accordingly she said pointedly ;' • -7 .-
" I shall dance with Mr. Morton. You know,
Mr. Neville, it is not always easy -to remember
whether one has made promises or'not, when one
is plagued out of one's, life for them." .
Neville's haughty face flushed as he bowed cold.
fy without reply. Kate had no sooner spoken than
she felt ashamed of her rudeness, indeed almest,
terrified at What she had,done ; but she gave no,
outward sign ;of this ; and when; during the eve f - _,
ning, she met Mr. Neville, she returned his cold
salutations as coldly as they were given. She did'
this, too; ever after she had heard ( that Miss lien.
ton was not dngaged to him, but about to be mar.
riek to another—such a strange thing is human
pride
"What Imre you 'done to Mr. Neville 1" slid the
bride to her. *1 hear you were quite rude to him;
Ah ! Kate, will you never have done Piing better '
men than you deserve?"
Kate felt Set to !he quick at this repro'ach. Shp
turned aim+. Yet she replied.
• ..Surely I am not accountahlefo Mr. Neville
for my condt4 I may even break a promise to
dance, without, treason : it is considered no great
crime to break a betrothartiow.a.days. The gen
tlemen grow presuming, when they „complain 'to
one's friends." •
"Sir. Nevi Helms made no complaint to me:
he is too proud.to do so," said her friend, gravely ,
"But my husband overheard your conversation.
Now, Kate, I know that you are ashamed of what
you have done: be frank, and apologize for your
rudeness."
Kate's eyes flashed haughtily. • '
"Nay !" said her friend. "Refuse or aer t ept a
lover as you will; but: never be , unlady-liker
Her,friend had spoken frankly; and the.vVerds
were not without their power, for Kato had
noble heart. After a moment's pause, she saw
Mr. Neville, who was at the other end of the room
'step out into the balcony, which overlooked the
garden. He Was alone. She could never have a
better Opportunity. She would' apologize, she
said, and then be colder; than 'ever. Without a
word, but only giving a glance at he'r" . friend, Kate
crossed the apartment and followed hint. She

arm, still holding the curtains half open behind her.
He started abruptly, for he had been plunged in
moody thought.
"Mr. Neville," she said, in a low voice, "lbs
hese I was rude to :you ju.t. now.- Excuse
me—"
She could proceed no further, for with a look of
wonder and delight, Neville turned around, clasp=
eil her hand, and interrupted her.
" Say nothing of it, dear Miss Spencer," he
said : then, einbarraseed by the warmth into which
he hid been surprised, he stammered, "this sur
prises me—l did not think you would do it=noble,
generous Creature !" •
Kate was agitated violently. Toe eagerness
Of her companion had drawri her away from the
window; the curtain had dropped, and her hand
remained in that of Neville. Thus she stood fur
a second. •
"I love ynia,," continued: Neville, breathless ly "but" dare scarcely hope: low are above your
sex—arid will be generous to me. I 'have" long
loved you.' Tell me I inky hops."
"Do not ask me, at least not now," said Kate,
in a low entreating tone, speaking.with'great

eyes pleadingly to those of Nevilte as she soug ht,.

Neville could have clasped her in his arms, for

OUR WESTERN 001INTRY. ;
Editor :—Although so much has been
written tedinit "the west," "the beautiful west,t'.o the
glorious west," still we would say a few words,
for out' western territory is beautiful, and in a na-
tural sense4lorious; and it has been justly ex
tolled, and May continue to be through, all coming
time. It stands out in contradistinction to any
'like amount of territory in the known world r ha•
inogepeous;io its character and containing the eta
merits of unreached greatness. There has been a
kind of fan& spirt and influence hovering over ttie
west, leading those of our northern 'and' southern
boundaries to look.there as to a land of promise, or
actually to migrate thither to test its realities.—
Cooper, who was once justly regarded as the Sir
Walter of Ainerica, did much to clothe our west
with the richest imaginings. Who has lead his
" Last of ; the Itiohegans," 0 The Pioneer," " The
Prairie," without being wrapt with enthusiism to

scribed-in-those works of semi-fiction, were all in
fancy enacted on the beautiful, prairies of the west
—enough of itself to make up for them a charac
ter of rich romantic interest. How often have we,
while 'passing over these broad prairies, day atter
day, Anti(' we fancied ouretlf upon an almost
boundless ocean, reverted to Cooper's descriptions
in the works we have Oa and stopped and said t,
"Here is the spot where old Leather Stocking sung
