A Love Sketch in the nineteenth Century.
That assertion that “What is everybody’s
business is nobody’s" is true enough ; but the
assertion-that “What is nobody’s business is
every body’s," STsiill truer.i Now, a love affair;
for Example, all others; a thing apart;—an
enchanted dream, where “common griefsana
cares come not,’’ It is like a matrimonial
qnhrrel—never tube benefited by the inter
ference of others; it is a sweet and subtle
language, “that' none understands hut the
speakers," and 1 yet this fine and delicate spirit
is most especially the object of curiosity. It is
often supposed before it exists: it is taken for
granted, commented upon, continued and ended,
without the consent of the parties themselves ;
though a casual- observer might suppose that
they were the most interested in the business.
All love affairs excite the greatest possible
attention ; but never was so much attention be
stowed as in the little town of Allerton, upon
that progressing between Mr. Edward Rains
forth and Miss Emily Worthington.. They had
been a charming couple from their birth;—were
called the little lovers from their cradle ; and
even when Edward was sent to school, his letter
hotne onoe a quarter, always contained his love
to his little wife. Their course of true love
seeiped likely to run terribly smooth, their fath
ers having maintained a,friendship as regular
as their accounts. Mr. Worthington’s death,
bhtfeVer, when Emily wias just sixteen, led to
Iheidisoovery that his affairs were on the verge
of bankruptcy. Mr. Eainsforth now proved
hintself a true friend; be said little, but did
everything. Out of his own pocket he secured
a small annuity to the orphan girl, placed her
in it respectable family, and asked her to dine
every Sunday. With his full sanction, “the
little" became “the young lovers;” and the
town of Allerton, for the first time in its life,
had not a fault do find with the conduct of one
of its, own inhabitants.
The two old -friends were nqt destined to be
long parted, and a few months saw Mr. Rains
forft carried to the same churchyard whither
he had so recently followed the companion of
■his j boyhood. A year passed away, and Ed
ward announced his intention of marriage.
The whole town was touched by his con
stancy, and felt itself elevated into/poetry by
being the scone of such disinterested affection.
Bat for the'first time in bis life, Edward found
there was another will to be consulted than his
own. His trustees would not Bear of his mar
rying till he was two-and-twenty, the time that
hisl father’s will appointed for his coming of
age.
■ The rage and despair of the lover were only
to be equalled by the rage and despair, of the
whole town of Allerton. Everybody said that
it was the cruelest thing in the world; and
some went so far as to prophecy that Emily
Worthington would die of consumption before
th« time came of her lover’s majority.' The trus
teed would not abate one atom of their brief
authority: they had said that their ward ought
to See a little of the-world, and they were both
of them men of- their word.
.Accordingly, it was settled that' Edward
should go to London for the next three months,
and see how he liked studying the law. He
certainly did not like the prospect at all; and'
hid only consolation was, that he should not
leave his addrriedEraily exposed to the dissipa
tion of Allerton. She had agreed to go and
stay with an aunt, some forty miles distant,
where there was not even a young curate in
thd neighborhood. The town of Allerton was
touched to the>henrt by the whole proceeding;
no’one spoke of them but as that romantic and
demoted’ young couple. , I own that I have
known greater misfortunes ip life than that a
young gentleman and lady of twenty should
have to wait a twelve month before they were
married; but every person considers their own
the worst that ever happened, and Edward and
Emily were miserable to their heart’s; content.
Tbey.exchangedlocks of hair; and Emily gave
him a portfolio, embroidered by herself, to hold
thd letters that she was to write. He saw her
off first, under the cate of an old servant, to
thfe village where she was to stay. She waived
her white handkerchief from the window as
long os she could see her lover, and a little lon
ger, and then sank back in a flood of “falling
pearls, which men call tears,”
■Edward was' wretched, and he was -also ex
ceeding uncomfortable which helps wretched
ness bn very much, jit/was a thorough*wet

oc tof spirits,'but Julia showed so-much gentle
sj mpathy with his sadness, and Laura rallied
hi n so pleasantly upon it, tbajt they pursued
tfe subject long after there was any occasion
fo: it. The week became weeks—there was no
diiwbaqk to the enjoyment of the trio, except
ing now; and then “some old friends of papa,
tqswhoni we must be civil; nri,” said Laura,
“out thdtl would put up with one andwll, ex
oapting that odious Sir John Belmore.” ■ • i
•Edward bad been in town ty o months and 4-
fortnight, when one evening Julia—they had
,bi|en singing 1 “Meet me by moonlight alone”—
adked him to! breakfast with them. ‘“I have,"
said she, “some and ipapa will
'tniat me with you.” He breakfasted, and at®
traded the blue-eyed Julia tp Stfan and Edgar’s.
“Now! haveisome conscience!]'’ exclaimed-she,
with one of ter own sweet langpid smiles, Julia
had an especially charming s idle—it so flat
tered the person to whom it was that sort of a
sprite which Jit is impossible'to help taking'as a

tience to wait. • Leave me here for ah hour and
then come back—now be punctual. Let me
lank at your watch—ah! it isi eleven. Good
bye, I shall expect you exacdyjjat twelve.”
]She turned into the shop wifjb a most becom

mind to have followed hed in, and quoted
Moore’s linds— 'j 1

Accordingly, he lounged into his club, and the
hour was almost gone beforb he at

Waited, and he thought—wha i a" sweet temper
she must have not to show ft) least symptom
'of dissatisfaction! on the contrary; her blue
ewes were even softer than usv al. By Che time
they arrived at heb father’s door, he had also
arrived at the agreeable, conclusion, that ho
cjpuld do,ho wrong in appropriating their soft

fie was struck by the general effect. He soon
found himself, he scarcely knfiw bow, quite de

Ihe was the belle of, the evehilag.
| It is amazing how much our admiration takes
(tone from the admiration of others; and
len to that is'added an obvious admiration of
reelves, the charm is irresistible. “Be sure,"
id Laura, in that low, confidential whisper,
rich implies that only to one could it be ad
essed,. "if you see me borec by that weariful
: John Belmore, do coma! and, make me
dtz. Really, papa’s old friends make me
ite undutiful!’’ There wvs a smile aceom
nying the words which sesmed to say, that
was not] only to avoid Sir John that she de
ed to dance with himself.
’ The evcLing went off most brilliantly; and
pdward went home with the full intention of
throwing himself at the fascinating Laura’s
feet the following morning; ind, what is much
snore, he got up with the same resolution. He
hurried to, Harley street—ani—how propitious
ihe fates are sometimes?—fpond .the dame de

•Edward oertainly feltas little fear as a geo
tlemin welt could do; uriderthe circumstances.
He, therefore, lest n<) time in telling Mjas Al
ford, thathis happiness was in her hands.,; She
received the intelligence with a pretty look of
surprise? ■ ■'
’‘Kcallj,” exclaimed she, “I never thought
of you but as a friend s and last night I ac
cepted Sir John Qelmerc! r Ae ; thnt is'hie cab
riolet, I must go down to the library to receive
him; we should be so interrupted here with
morning visitors I”
She disappeared,'arid that moihent Edward
beard Julia's 1 voice singing: on tba stairs. It
was the last duet-that they, had snug together:
“Who shall school the heart’s affoctionl'
• Who shall banish its regret ? \ ■ -
, If yon blame my deqp dejection, ° .
; . Teach, oh teach rao to forgot 1*
She entered, looking very pretty, bnt pale,
“Ah,”. thought Edward, “she is vexed,that I
allowed myself to bo so engrossed by,her sister
last night,”
“So you are alone,” exclaimed she. “I have
such a piePe' of news to tell yon ! Laura is
going to be' married to Sir John Belmore. How
can shamarry a man she positively despises?’’
“Nay,” replied Julia, "but Laura could not
live 'without gaiety. Moreover, she is ambi
tious; I‘cannot, pretend to judge for her; we
never bad a taste in common,”
“you,”- said Edward,
thrown yourself away!”
“Ah!, no,” imswered she, looking down,
“the hqart is my world.” And Edward thought
he hadi never seen anything so lovely ns the'
deep l blue eyes that now looked up full of tears,
**Ah too convincing, dangerously dear.
In woman's eye, the mytaswerable tear.”
Whither Edward might have floated on the
tears of the “dove-eyed 1 Julia” must remain a
question; .for at that moment —a most unusual
occurrence in a morning—Mr. Alford came
into his own drawing room.
“So, Madam,” he exclaimed in a voice al
most inarticulate' from anger. “I know it all.
You were married to Captain Dacre, yesterday;
and you, Sic,” turning to Edward, "made
yourself a’party to the shameful deception.”
“No,” interrupted Julia; -Mr. Rainsforth be
lieved me to bo in Swan and Edgar’s shop
the whole time. The fact was, I only passed
through it.”
Edward stood aghast. , So;the lady, instead
of silks and ribbons, was It ying, perhaps, the
dearest bargain of her life. A few momenta
convinced him that he was deirop; and he
left the father storming, and the daughter in
hysterics. j /
, On his arrival at his lodgings, ha found a
letter from his guardians in which he found the
following entered among-other items;—Miss
Emily Worthington had been ill, but is now
recovering.” Edward cared, at this moment,
very little about the health or sickness of any
in the world, i Indeed, he rather thought
Emily’s illness was a judgment to her. If she
had answered, his letter, he' wopld have beep
saved all his jeednt mortifications. He decided
on adjuring’the flattering and fickle sex forever;
and turned to his desk to look over some ac
counts to which he was referred by his guais
dians. While tossing the papers about, half-'
listless, half-fearful, what should catch his eye
but a letter with the seal not broken! Ho (
started from pis seat in consternation. Why
it was bis own epistle to Miss Worthington !
No wonder that she had not written ; she did
not even know his address. All the horrors
of his conduct now stared him full in the face,.
Poor, dear, deserted Emily, what must her
feelings have been! He could not bear to think
of them. He snatched up a pen, wrote to his
guardians, declaring that the illness of his be
loved Emily would, if they did not yield, induce
him to take any measure, however desperate;
and that he nsisted on being allowed permis
sion to visit jer. Nothing but his own eyes
him of her actual recovery. He

,No wonder that-Emily tore the note which
she received with smiles and blushes'into twen
ty. pieces, and_did not get up to breakfast the
next Bay.,- The bext week die had : a bad'cold,
and was seated’ in a mopt disconsolate-looking
attitude and shawk wEen a letter-was brought
in. It contained the first epistle of Edward’s
and thejbllowing words in thoenyelope;—
“Mr Anoiusn |E«Cr,7-:Yoa Tnay forgive mo

the inclosed Letts ribas by some strange .’chance

“Ybnc faithful add unhappy ' *-

That very morning Emily left off'her shawl,
and discovered that a walk would do her good.
The lovers\uiet! thd ngxt day, each looking a
little pale—which each sat down to their own
account, Emily returned.to Allerton, and the
town was touched to tjmyery heart by a con
stancy that "had stood such a test.
“Three monthfs absence,” as a lady observed,
“is a terrible trial.” The -guardians thought
so too—and the marriage ,of Emily Worthing
ton, to Edward Baiisforth, soon, completed the
satisfaction of the iowi of Allerton. During
the bridal trip, the’young couple were one wet
day at an inn looking over a newspaper togeth
er, Snd there they saw—the marriage of Miss
Smith with the Earl of Elmsley—and of Miss
Alford with 'Sir John E elmore. I never beard
that the readera-made either of them any re
mark as they read. ’
They returned to AUei’ton, lived veryhappily,
and were always held tip as touching instances
of first 2bye and constancy—in the 19th century.

“A.h 1 it.is pleasant here! everything has such

But my eyes are aching for the sight of
whitlings and cut paper upon the floor; of
tumble-down card houses; of wooden sheep
and cattle; of 1 pop-guns, bows and, arrows,
whips, tops, go hhrts, mocks and trumpery. I
want to see boats a-riggjng, and kites a-making.
I want to see orumblealon the carpet, and paste
spilt on the kitchen table. I want to see the
chairs and tables turned the wrong way about;
I want to see candy-making and corn-popping;
and to find jacki knives and fish hooks among
my muslins ; yet these things used to fret me
once.
They say—“ How quiet yon are here ; ah!
one here may settle his (brains and be at pence.”
But my' ears ore aching for; the pattering of
little feet; for a hearty shout, a shrill whistle,
a;gay tra la la, for the'craqk of little whips, for
the noise of drums, fifep and tin trumpets ; yet
these things made me nervous once..
They say—‘‘Ah 1 you have leisure—nothing
to disturb you; what heaps of sewing you
have time for." But Ijlohgto be asked for a
bit of string or an old newspaper; for a cent
to buy a slate pencil or peanuts/ I want to be
coaxed for a piece of new cloth for jibs or main
sail*, and .then to hem the ’same; I want to
make little flags, and bags to’hold marbles. I
want to be followed byj littlei feet all over the
hotise ; teased for a bit of dough for a little
cake, or to bake a pie in a saucer. Yet these
thinge used to fidget me once.
They say—“Ah 1 you are not tied at home.
How delightful , to be always at liberty to go to i
concerts, lectures,'and parties; no confinement
for you.”
fe ßut I want confinement; I want to listen fur
the school bell 'mornii gs; to give the hasty
wash and brush, and (hen to watch, from tire,
window', nimble feet bounding to school. I
want frequent irents lo mend, and ,to replace
lost buttons ; I want to nbliteratc- mud stains,
fruit stains, molasses : stains, and paints of all
colors. I want to be kittling by a 1 little crib of
evenings, when wearyl little feet are at rest,
and prattling voices ape bushed, that mothers
may sing their lullabies, and tell over the oft
repented stories. They don’t know their hap
piness then—those mothers. I didn’t. Alt'
these things I called confinement once.

GETTIITG IIT WHEAT US' WISCONSIN.
Ajgentlempn of this city, a few week* ago,
weni| out into Walworth county to transact
sotSe business. At that time the country was
absorbed entirely in the securing of i the har
vest,- and the gentleman had a great deal of
trouble in finding anybody ‘-to borne/', We
will let hjtn his own .story t'.. |
“I stopped at the house of ray friend B .
and knocked all the skin off my knuckles at s
his, front door, but could not apartanybody, •
and just as I was going away, a passer-by, in
answer. to my enquiry, said that/*B- was
getting in hip wheat." , I then went lover into
another part of the town, to where/ an old
school-mate, I Squire —resided./!! walked
in at .the open door, sat down parlor a
few minutes, and no one .appealing,l! walked
up stairs and down stairs,! but/coaldn’t find a
soul. j ' ;ffv ' .
When I got around on the porch again,'the
same follow came along who had aaawetedmy
question before, and I hailed hjm ; , - , : ; - 5
‘‘lp the Squire in town ?” -., \ ' .
“Getting in Ins wheat, Treckott/ 1 —; • ,
“.Well,-where is his lady?"
‘*She’s helping the Squire/',' v,
i “And thejoung ladies?" ;
in the wijeat, stranj er—you'H
find ’em all down id the BiM about a mile from
here." ■ ' ,j [R \*fti ‘• •
I then concluded I wJuid try. thehotef, and
carried my carpet bag public house.—
There was a notice, on the door, shying that
the house was closed for a week, as thd pro-,
prietor wah getting in his. wheat. 'Things
began to lopk desperate now. I ha'd carried
my carpet bag about fivd miles aiready in the
hot sun, and it was ‘plowing 1 momentarily
heavier. ’ I\ I ■ j i , J, i • < -
So when il saw a hpj j c injihg toward the
house, I made up my mihiftbilgWe hirifh dollar
to carry it for me. I was somewhat; surprised,
however,, when In reply to my offer hC girated
his digits at the extremity of his nodal projec
tion, and “guessed I’d have to wait till dad got
his wheat in."
At this stage of proceedings I iresolyed to
walk to the first house liVftw, and (demand, fn
the name of civilization, (he; Hospitality duo to
a traveler. I As the hoc sfy happened to be a
boarding school for young ladies, I was for
tunate enough to secure a night'srest, and the
next day, nlotrbomg able to-see anybody but
young laditis, ns everybody was ' getting' in his
wlicat, I left for home, resolved never to-return
there'when people were harvesting.—Milwau

Tight lAcing.— A leamied doctor has given
his opinion, that tight laorhgligla public benefit,
inasmuch as it kills off blithe foolish girls, and

A friend, of ours, says he never extracted so
much sweetness from one spot as he did when
he drew a pretty girl, weighing 225 pounds,
from a hog hole in his.father’s pasture, where
he was hunting with horfar bird’s eggs.
