"A drover! anything in the world but a drover ! of all low thingi on the face of the earth, a drover is the most contemptible." "Oh ! no, Annie, not so bad as a tailor now, or a shoemaker for instance."' "Yes, indeed ; a hundred times worse, I cannot bear the name of one, and if these gentlemen, as you call them, are drovers, that is enough for me, I care no more about them ; I thought from your praises they were certainly something uncommon, but 1 am perfectly satisfied now." Well, be it so, I have no.wish to change ttt re. your opinion thotigh I think that if you hap pen to 'meet em upon their return home through our vi e, you may perhaps think differently." The speakers, Annie and Ellen May. were cousins, residing in a pretty village in Eastern Pino t. Annie. May was of rather a haughty disposition, and prided herself upon the fact of her father being a lawyer practi sing in the neighboring town of S.---, quite wealthy and a dweller in the largest and finest house in the village. Ellen was Mr. pares May's only broth,- el.'s only child ; her father had died some years previous to my story, and she with her mother dwelt in rather a small farm house at tho opposite of the long irregular street. Ellen and Annie, bad always been poetical IDepartinent. (From the !Vest Chester Examiner.) The Two Drovers. e~:i ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., MARCH 29. 1854. very intimate, notwithstanding the distance they lived apart, and generally spent a pnr tion of every day together. At this time Annie had been staying a week or two with her father, who was attending the court, and' during be absence Ellen had made the ac quaintance of two very gentlemanly persons, whom she was endeavoring to describe to Annie. These young men had strolled one fine winter's day, past Mrs. May's house, and seeing Ellen at the door, had asked to be fur nished with a draught of water : Ellen had quickly waited upon them, and Mrs. May seeing them to be strangers had invited them within, which oiler was quickly accepted, whether, for the sake of rest from fatigue, or whether 'from. Ics beaux ycux" of Miss Ellen, each may determine for his or her self, my own belief inclining to the latter presumption. And speaking of presump tion reminds me that there was considerable of this quality displayed in entering a strang ers house on such slight pretext, but what will young drovers not do, when a distance from their homes, and 10' on by the pros pect of a couversation with a lair lady. So the young men accepted the invitation as before mentioned, and in the course of some half hour's stay, they contrived to in form Mrs. May; and her daughter that their names were George D. and Robert H. 1.101 7 den, and that they were cousins, which fact made a strong impression upon Ellen's mind as she and Annie were also cousins, and of the same name. The Messrs Holden also proclaimed that they were bound out "west," for the pur pose of looking up a few horses which they were about to take back into Pennsylvania. giving it to be pretty plainly understood that they were by no means obliged to follow the occupation of droving from necessity. but merely from the fine prospect it afforded of travelling nod seeing the country. Ellen was particularly pleased with the appearance of Mr. George Holden. He was rather slender, but very graceful, with clear dark eyes, and regular features, and most polished manners possible. His cou sin Robert was not behind in this particular and was °hiller, web a maanificeet pair of black whiskers, and a in,msiactie. all things on earth, Anew May inc-t admir ed a moustache, so soon as she retained home. Ellen hastened tee inform her of the arrival of tho,e diHiaguishyd vi•nor,, and was entiely tak-o aback by tile sneer with which the fact of th-ir being drovers was received. She did not venture to say much in de fence of her new Jriends, but instantly re solved that could woman's wit accomplish it Annie May should loco her heart to this same Robert Holden, wearer of that exquisite moustache. She knew not exactly how this was to•be accomPlished, but trusted to some unforeseen occurrancc to aid her in her plans. • Mr. George Holden had mentioned that in. three weeks they probably would have completed their purchases, and most likely would be thus far on their way back. El len was in her own mind contriving ways and Orleans for seeing them again, but for tune, tickle goddess, had a plan ready laid, which far exceeded hers. Just previous to Mr. Rufus May's return from S—, he had fallen in with a young man, whose father-had been a school mate of his, and had given him an invitation to ac company him home and spend some days at his house ; this young man was no other than Robert Holden. As Annie had not heard his name from Ellen, and had been too much overcome to listen to a description, it was more than likely his identity would not soon he discovered. Ellen heard the• name of the new visitor from Annie, and was too adroit to allow any hint to escape her, of its being at all familiar. She met Robert by accident the same day, and her love of mischief prompted her to re quest Lim not to mention the object of his journey, west, if possible. Ile readily prom ised her what she asked, and as for good, pursy, Mr. May, he was quite too much oc cupied with his own responsibility as a law yer, and a prospective judge, and again as the richest man in town, to trouble himself with much beyond his daily duties. And now Ellen was in her element, en joying her mischievous trick, daily listening IQ long praises of Robert I lolden from A ri nies lips, which, were never tired of dwel ling upon the manifold perfections of this eastern stranger. Ellen would demurely say he was not half so handsome as her dro vers, but Annie always became indignant at the idea of comparison. But you may wonder what was detaining the young man so long in this little village ; his ostensible reason was certain letters, which he had left directions should be mail ed for him to thii place, and for which he daily took a walk to the post office, although his diligent inquiries seemed doily doomed l to disappointment. George Bolden was still at a place some twentymiles distant, wither Robert was to proceed. previous to their starting on the I hornewar,d trip. Robert Bolden was by : no means a novice ! in the art of winning aflections.ho had served o pretty good appienticeship St this business in his native place, and now when he found the material laid so temptingly to his hand,'- no wonder that he found means to build up quite an extensive flirtation. He expressed himself a passionate admirer of music, and 'Annie was able to gratify this tnste, so for hours Robert would sit beside her, ready to turn each page, and praising each song more than the one which had proceeded it. Then, too, Robert was so polite, so atten tive. Besides entertaining the young lady. he was ready when Mrs. May appeared, to talk with her of the affairs of house-keeping and contrast them with the way such things were managed in his native State, all of which he seemed perfectly to understand, though to-be-sure, her way or doing things was generally preferable ; and when with Mr. May. he listened to long accounts of law suits, which entirely coincided with his own long cherished opinions, and succeeded in making that worthy old gentleman think more of himself, and his own wisdom than ever ; that is, if such a thing were possible. He was,the darling of the household, and Ellen flay in her friendly visits was de., lighted with the progress affairs were ma king. For one reason she would have put off the appearance of George Holden, but it might bring out too soon the occupation of the enchanter ; but still she longed for his presence, as her heart whispered her she had never done far any other. As length letters arrived for Mr. Robert Holden. He proceeded to his own room to read them, and finding , one from George, de siring his immediate presence, he descend-. ed to the sitting room for the purpose of in terming his host, of his speedy departure. lie eountl no one within but Annie, seat ed at her sowing, and to her he rather ab ruptly mentioned that he intended leaving the next day. "So soon 1" was her hurried exciam ition 6Not so very soon,' was his rt 61' itl !NOW I have bt , eii here nearly two weeiis. lie turned his head suddenly, upon not teeeiving an answer, and saw that Annie was crying. To rise, and seating beside. her, demand the nctse of her fears, %%as but of tile moment. Like nil a young nuui, Robert could not endur- toe nifteilon - of a pretty girls .ears : I don't know what they would think oi an uoly one's, never haying heard them .ay ; as he endeavored to sooth her. took her baud in his, and quite occiden:ally, gave her .t kiss; and tit cud of the Co ,versation was a proles.sion of deep feeling on his par... and a conles,ion on hers that lie thought of his absence had caused her tears. Now Annie was really de:-ply in love, and is (or Robert, he was naturally possessed of rather a susceptible heart, and had often said he Would be extremely sorry not to be Mar ried early. so on taking into consideration the board acres, and heavy pocket-book of 000 d Mr, May, he thoiight he might hit upon many a worse speculation than engag ing himsed to a pretty girl, when he had ex pected to bring in a drove of horses ; so he thought while he had the chance, and the coast was clear, he would improve his op portunity ; and stun he and Annie werecon ditionally engaged, subject to the wishes of her parents when it :Mould become knottili, which was hot to be until a year of absence should have tried their feeling , . A most judicious arrangein mt, which I won d re commend to the attention of all meditating matrimony, as that is a Ming, which when once done, cannot be undone. Mrs. May entered the room at this junc ture, good, easy woman, all unconscious, and Annie escaped by a side-door to bathe her eyes, and to smooth her dishevelled hair. Robert informed her of the necessity. of his immediate departure, and she in return stated that Mr. May, intended taking the same journey the next day. AccJrdingly tit an early hour they started, Hobert • whis pering to Annie, that t couple of days would see hint back, when he would bid her fare well. Ellen came up soon afterwards to spend the morning, and causally remarked that she had heard "the two drovers" were to pass through the village in a couple of days : nie said that Mr. Holden had left that morn ing, and expected to return about that time. Said Ellen, "He has no doubt been such an agreeable companion, that you will be sorry never to see him again." Annie blushed deeply at this remark, and Flirt', "Why should I think I shall never see him again AO indeed, Miss Annie; those blushes tell a tale, even if I had not suspected it long before; Mr. Holden has taken your heart with him, or I am much mistaken, come ! own up, is it not so r - • And the lively girl pulled away Annie's hands from the too telltale countenance, and read there the confession she expected to find. Annie finding farther attempt at concealment useless with her cousin, made her a confidant of all that had passed:, and Was astonished and almost indignant, at the merry peals of laughter which greeted the announcement. ‘i.Fllen," said she reproachfully, and rath er proudly to her cousin, did not think you would in this manner receive a confi dence from me of such. importance, I knew you wero thoughtless, and fun-loving, bnt I have hitherto found you a.true friend, though your present behavior, is, I must say, singu lar to me." "Dearest Annie, only wait one minute,— don't go oil into dignities for a while—let me tang!' a moment flare. Here you are 'as good as engaged to Mr. Holden ;mwed you should lose your heart to him some ago, though I did not forsee anything so se rious, for let me tell you, he is one of my "drovers," whom you were pleased sci•to look down upon." "A drover!!"—Picture to yourself the amaze:nent of this tone. Annie snt motionless her eyes fixed upon Ellen, who gave full vent to her merriment. A drover and a very handsome one though not quite so good loolOng to my taste as his cousin Ceorge, as I never set my heart upon a moustaqe, and now what are you goin g to do, fainraway ? Get up a scene with Rob ert when he comes to bid you good bye ! Or make up your mind to own you ‘yere a little foolish to despise people before you knew them!" 4.1 don't know•what I am going to do.— How did you manage to keep me from find ing it out?" “Why, I don't mind telling von a bit of a secret, I believe I think quite as much of George, as you do of Hobert, though he does riot know it, and I was determined to have you make as great a dunce of yourself as I was doing, so when I saw uncle Rufus riding past in his buggy, with Mr. Robert Holden beside him, it did not take lom7 for inc to find that he was . going to your house and to contrive a way to speak to him, and inform him of your prejudices against his present occupation." flow unkind in you, Ellen," exclaimed Annie, bursting into tears, "so he and you have only been plotting together to ridicule nt !" -Indeed it is no such thing, I will wager an y t h ing that ne is almost as much in love as he pivit•nds to h.•, and that is saying inure than l would for another young man but "wipe your eyes, and don't you cry, "I prophecy it will all come right, one of these days.

I). [l.—Well ! who does that stand for?-Now do you begin to laugh at me, and let us look at the bright side again." "Who could help laughing nt such non sense." Annie, "but do tell me, Ellen, how am I ever to look at Mr. Holden again?" "Look ? why just the same as ever, he is no worse nor no better than what he was: you knew he was a stranger to you, and that your father was acquainted with his fa ther, so you were fully aware of his station in lite. You knew how handsome he was, and ymi chose to fall in love with him., so just as you would have done if I had not coin,. up here this morning." "Well Nelly, you are a good little thing after all ; so %ve will matte up, and I. will own that I ant very much pleased with your friend the drover.'' "Very much pleased ! only cousin Annie ! That will not suit me; ; own yourself down right desperately in love . With him, that is what I meant you to do." "No indeed, cousin I do wrong to think of loin at all I run afraid. after such a short acquaintance ; let me, first see whether he returns next year, as he has promised to." What are Robert's reflections during this time? At first he felt as though he were .in for it,' to use the common expression, but as he rode along beside Mr. May, and saw him pointing out his various "belongings" and considered that Annie was his only child, he thought it would not be doing so badly af ter all, as Annie was a very affectionate warm hearted girl, and truly amiable with the one exception of a considerable quantity of pride, which no doubt would be weakened as her reason gained greatercontrol over her. Robert had noticed that George felt some partiality towards Ellen, and he took advan tage of this opportunty to insinuate.some questions relative to her fortune. I must here apologize for my young friends ; this does make it appear rather mercenary, rather in the light of fortune hunters, but stand forth, young ladies and young gentlemen, who are lifting up indignant eyes, about them, would you not "go and do likwise," if you only had the chance? If the romantic Miss Smith. who doats on pretty cottages, sunnets and roses—if this ethereal lady had two oilers, the gentle men themselves being nearly on a par in per sonal qualifications, but one very rich and the other very poor, would she take the rich one? I know she would, and she would be perfectly consistent, too, for though poverty is a beautiful thing on paper, it is certainly a fact more roses 'grow around rich people's hduses, and a great deal sweeter ones too, .than ever I saw about poorlieople's. Well, Robert found out that Ellen had quite a pretty little fortune of her own, and that her uncle was her only guardian. tie thought this . sounded well for his plans and during the remainder of the tid-, exert ed himself to the utmost to make himself agreeable to the old gentleman. That night he told George of his ad ven- NUMBER 26. ture during the time they had been separat-. ed, and in a cool, business-like manner, pro f posed the cousin to his surprised listener. "Well Bob ! if that is not going it like the nation! What will your folks at house think of such speed ?" "I shall take care that they do not know of it, for a while, and I intend to get some of them out here to become acquainted with her, before I come back next winter. Trust me for having all things straightened up, and I declare I am more in love with Annie May this minute than ever 1 eras with any girl in my life." "Oh ! Bob, I declare I have heard you say that twenty times before, at least.'' "Well, I never meant it before." "Ha ! ha!—that is a way to creep but but I am sleepy, so a truce to this to-night." Queen Mab played the mischief with their dreams that night. Into George's ears she kept wispering, "Ellen May—Ellen May-- 7 nice girl pretty; twenty thousand clear" —,till he dreamed he was desperately in love and believed it when he woke up. Robert, in his visions, saw himself mar ried, and on a visit with his bride to his pa ternal home. The new sister was warmly welcomed, but he was so troubled to settlo whether to return to his wife's possessions in Ohio, or live where they then were, that the uncertainty aroused him at about the same moment when George, springing up declared himself to be in love. They hurried their preparations ns much as possible, and the morning of the 2d day saw them,horses and all, on there homeward journey, at least so far as the village where flourished their twaMay roses. They halted there for the remainder of the day, and tow ! ards evening the two gentle.nan, dressed in there best, walked out from the hotel to call upon Miss Ellen May. They were informed that Miss Ellen was spending the afternoori with her cousin, they exchanged glances at this info:'nation, ap ! pearing to consider it peculialy fortunate,and immediately turned their steps in that di rection. • I need not give particulars of this memo rable interview. The ladies were not moch astonished at the advent of the visitors, they were most becomingly dressed, and had nev er appeared to such advantage. The Nes sers. Holden were anxious to start at an early hour the next day, it was very kind in the Misses May to keep them so agreeably engaged that they never thought of sleep, until when at lust, upon taking their leave • they saw the first faint streaks of dawn ap pear before they reached the hotel. This re lieved them from the trouble of retiring for the night,and soon the cavalcade started from the village,carrying with it two foolish hearts and I may say, leaving a portion of two fool ish young hearts, in exchange. The droving business had beenfully dis cussed by a committee of the whole, the previous evening, and Annie had it decided to her full satisfaction, that they were only ugentleinen d rove rs"—lllnaleurs. Seine few letters quietly passed between them. The next fall, one of Roberts' sisters passed through tie village, and was much pleased with the two cousins. In the winter months, our two drovers, ac cording to promise, made another trip, and I hear that all things arty completely arran !led. Robert is now stocking his farm he will com mence operations in the spring ; and 1 know not how soon. the fair Annie May is to un dertake the houskeeping , department. Mr. May sayS that if he gives up his own daughter, he cannot lose his nice too. So George has in view a fine situation in Ohio, which will enable hint and Allen to take the homestead where her mother and she havo so long resided, while A.W. May is to be a companion to her sister•in-law. Tho two houses are so near that she.can see her dough, ter every day, and she thinks her son-in, law will feel more at ease with the house entirely at the disposal of the young folks . . The droving business is about over. I think, with these young neon they have 114 upon a more profitable speculation—seekin It'estern !Fives. MRS PAIITINOTON IN TfIE LEGISLATURE.
