Ii is’nut in human nature for two persona of op’pdsiie'aexea, with warm iihjvulsea pod throb bing hearts, to associate constantly 'without becoming s'rorigly attached the ope to the other. The thought at first, hefhaps, entered th‘p brain of hei'her. But Miss Franky,as i<'the saving, had the quills. Twelve thou sand was her dowry. This, with' tier other attractions, (for, mind you, she was only 57 t ) operated like magic on the ardent nature of tlie ’squire, who, though in' his seventieth year, was rejuvenized by the inspiration of Mi&s Franky’s smile. lie thetefyre (ound no difficulty in making 'Up his mind to marry her if he could. He proposed—sjte accepted. The morning of Saturday,' the 14th July just passed, at 8 o’clock, was fixed on for the marriage. The’squire procured; his license, paid an extra price for it in view of the ex pected accession to his wealth, employed u parson, rigged himself off in a suit of blacky and made every other imaginable preliminary arrangement for the ceremony which was to consummate his bliss. The daughters of Mr. Samuel Johnson, nno'her widower of the neighborhood, were invited to Ihe wedding. Johnson was only 57—Miss Franky’s age exactly. They had been children together; and while they were both quite young they had loved. He was not satisfied that she and the squire should marry. On Finlay evening, the day before the expected wedding, seeing a neighbor pas sing his house he hailed him. The neighbor fiund Johnson very much excited and dis turbed. Johnson stated to him that he could not bear the thought of'Miss Franky’s mar rying ’squire Bradsher, and that he wanted him to go to Miss Franky at once and soy to her for him dial if she preferred marrying him to Squire Bradsher she could do so.— T|te neighbor lOMSted'oa his writing tq her a letter to his effect, offering Io deliver it. — “No,” says he, "I am entirely 100 nervous to hold a pen. You must go and deliver the message ” Finally he consented and repaired to Miss Franky’s residence, charged wph this message of love. Miss Franks, in reply, authorized him to say to Mr’ Johnson ihu if ■he would get ready to marry Iwr at sunrise the next morning she would marry him. It was then laio in the afternoon. Having no time to spare, he put off under whip and spur to lloxborough, the county seat, Tgr his license, and at the same moment started off - a servant to Leasburg for a parson. The ser vant took care not to inform the minister whai it was his master wanted of him, but only scud Ihuf hia scrrtcca wore qulred at sunrise the next morning. Mr. Johnson, the minister who had bepn engaged to officiate, and the friend who had borne the messages of love between Miss Franky and the bridegroom, were at their post at the appointed hour. The marriage riles were performed, and Miss Franky Lea became Mrs. Franky Johnson, An hour afterward ’Squire Bradsher and his retinue were to come. Accordingly the bride hastily addressed a note to the ’Squire, informing him that she'was no longer Miss Franky Lea but Mrs. Franky Johnson, ond that he need not trouble himself any furiher about bet. The nsionished yet incredulous ’squire could not belive the nole authentic, but re garded it as a hoax aUemleii to be practiced upon him by some of the wild youngs men of the neighborhood. To settle the mailer he hastened over to see his inamorata, Arrived in he presence he presented the nole to her nod inquired if she wrote it. She replied in the affirmative. Incensed at her faithlessness, he indulged (who that is mortal would noli) m belter complaints of her ill-treatment.— (Johnson meantime in the next room, reclin ing on a sofa, cosily smoking his pipe, and listening wuh more of merriment ihan resent ment to the imprecations heaped upon his bride.) Indeed, having foiled his competitor while in the very act of plucking the fruit for which he so much yearned, he could well af ford to endure the pain of a few biller re proaches. jAfterafree ebullition of his indignation, the ’squire retired, resolved, as our informant tells us, upon a resort to the law to stanch his heart wounds, and heal, as far as possible, his bruised and lacerated affections. ' Having derived these facts from undoubted authority; they may be regarded as true to the letter. “Pkt'er what afe doing to that boy V’ asked-a 'schoolmaster, seeing a disturbance going on in a corner of the school roorh. took my apples, sir.” '“How is this, Peter.” "Ho wanted to know if you take ten from seventeen, bow many will remain ; so I -took ten of his apples to show him, and now he wants I Should give (hem back.” ‘•Well, why don't you do it ■ "Cos, he would forget how many is left." , “Cqt.
