Mr. Rhotlea:tvlas the 'High Sheriff
of--,----.countY.- Massachusetts ;,and
his good 'naine, inherited from the fa
ilter and cherished by the son, made
hiaiuut , only popular:as an officer, but
rather wealthy - as a man. Why Mr.
RhocleS bad never got married, the la
dies could not ascertain, though, they
talked lit . d matter over and over .very
often,*, but almost all said there must
have been some cause in his youth,
(Mr. Rhodes was-thirty - -five-,:at least,)
whiehtwas knimn - only to himself, and
perhaps one other. •
• Some disappointwent,' said Miss
Anna, a young lady who . thought, it
,vVrougthattgentlemen''Should be dis
appoirited4 • some fatal disdppoint
_ . .
• Not afrall,' said her maiden aunt,
not at all ; nobody ever thought that
Mr. Rhodes hUd courage 'enough to
Oiler hiingelf to a lady. . He is so mo
dest that I should like to see him make
a proposal.'•
.
- 6 NO doubt of it, aunt, - no-doubt of it;
and to hear - him:too,' said Anna. -
Your father and I,' said Anna's mo
ther, once thought that Mr. Rhodes
would certainly marry. Miss Stisan
Morgan, who then lived in the neigh,
borhood.'
Was he accepted by Mls3 Moigan ?'
asked Anna.
'I don't belieTe she ever had an offer,'
said aunt Arabella.
Perhaps not,' said Mrs Wilton, 'but
she certainly deserved one from Mr.
Rhodes ; and I havelfrequently thought
that, during services' in church, he was
about to.make proposals before all the
Congregation, as he kept his eye con
tinually onher.'
',Do you think,' asked Anna, • that
Miss Morgan' was fond .of him as he
appeared of her?'.
• She certainly did not take the same
means of showing her feeling,' said
Mrs. Wilton, 1 for she never looked at
him in' hurch, & seemed to blush when,
by any meatis . -she discovered that
others _had noticed his gazing upon
MS
I-should think,' said - Anna, partly
aside, - ' that a man like 'Mr. Rhodes
would not lack confidence to address a

of her own feelings, and of his infirmi.
ty.'
Mrs. 'Wilton smiled, -and aunt Ara-,
bella Was about - AO say: that . no lady
ShOuld ever evince her feelings under
such circumstances, when Mrs. Wilton'
remarked, that once, when'she had Jok
ed Miss Morgan. upon her, conquest,
she rather pettishly replied, that she
mayli,ave subdued hint, but he had ne
ver acknowledged, her poWer.'
Conquest and possession - did not go
together,.then,' said Anna..
Wen, is this attachment the cans e
of Mr. Rhodes' single condition? Was
there no one :else at whom he could
look in church, who would be likelY.to
look at him?' said Anna, nodding
,to=
wards. her aunt; , • . •
said aunt A., with a hearty
stnile. none in the pew to which you
allude. • I at-least was too strongly irn-_
pressed,with the force of the .tenth
commandment, thou shalt not• covet
thy neighbor's ox, nor his° aSs," ever to

_ . .
One, morning Mr. Rhodes was sitting
in his office, when one of the deputies
read bffilist Of 'executions and attach . ;

- iintl among their was one against a la

had conned his :Saluta - tion

and his
opening speech on gthe subject
of his official call. , '•
• The servant opened the .door—Mr..
Rhodes entered ivith. a bow. He blush
ed, hesitated, and at length took a seat,
to which Misi
.Morgaii directed him by
a graceful turn of her hand.
After a few moments! hesitancy, Mr.
Rhodes felt that.it'was, his business to
open a conversation that would:explain
the object of his visit; so he/offered;
by way or pieface, a few remarks upon
the coldness of the spring.
6 Yes,' said Miss Morgan.; but yet,
cold as. the weather has.been; and even
notwithstanding a few - frosts, you, see
the trees have their ricliest foliage; and
the flowertt are lukuriant.'
-"frue,' said Mr. Rhodes t .lt seems,
though there.-may be .a, great.. deal. of
coldness, that nature will have her own
war, and time asserts her prerogative,
late'perhaps, Miss Morgan, but still the
same.' :
Mr. Rhodes felt.rather startled at his
own. speenh, and looking up, was in
finitely astonished to see that Miss
Morgan was blushing — like one of the
roses that was hanging against the win
dow.
We are always - pleaSed;',,,said 'Miss
to see what we- admire breaking
through thel chilling' influences by
which they have been retaitied, and sat
isfying our hopes of their ultimate dis
closure.'
Miss Morgan Was looking directly
towards the hush on which three roses
were;clustering in a most gorgeous
richness. •17•
M. Rhodes put his hand into his
pocket, and felt for official the papers.
to gather a little courage from their
contact. •
I have.' said. Mr. Rnodes, an at
(achwent.' '
Miss-Morgan this time : lent blushes
to the rose. •
The.attachnient, Miss Morgan, is of
a distant date-, and I felt That too much
time had already elapsed ; that, indeed,
instead-of entrustin g it, as I might have
done, to another, 1 thought that in. a
matter of 'so. much delicacy, it would
- be proper for me to come.id person.'

•• Mr. Rhodes,!yon seem,to be rather.
enigmatical.' • . •

to speak very plainly When 1 say, that
with reference .to this attaclrient, Miss
Morgan, should you honor me so fares
to accept my pro - position, my pecunia
ry means would be devoted to the—to
the attachnient.'
I was,' said Miss Morgan, 4 wholly
unprepared for . this.?
I was afraid that was the-ease,'lsaid
Mr. Rhodes, and. therefore I thought
it more delicate to ,make the. offer in
person.'
Your are very. considerate, Mr.
Rhodes.'.. ,
AM I then to understand, Miss Mor
gan, that my proposition is agreeable
to you In other words; that it is ac-
cepted,?! •
Mr-Medea,' ,said the lady, With
much hesitancy. • I . ntust claim a little
time to-think of it.' "
