TH PROPOSAL.
I do not think a braver gentleman,
Moro active Valiant, or more valiant yohng,
More dating, or more noble, is now alive,
To grace this htter age with noble deals.
The Lady Blanche was a beauty and a
belle. But more than this she was en
heiress. Need we wonder, therefore, that
old barons, as grim as their ancestors' ef
figies—gay knights, who sported retain
ers in cloth of gold—and princes of thirty ;
quarterings, from Germany, thronged her
castle, and sighed by turtle at the feet of
the obdurate lair. For the lady Blanche,
though she natty refused none, was indif
ferent to all. She treated every suitor, in-;
deed, alike. She had a smile for one, a
gay word for another, a tusk fOr a third,
and for each and till the same tantallizing
succession of hopes and fears with which
beauties have managed .to torment their
lovers from time immemorial, To tell the
truth, the Lady Blanche Was a bit of a
flirt—and Claude Marston found this out
to his cost. A. gallant a warrior, asvour
teens a knight. and withal a. poor a
gentleman—God help him—was not to
be found In the realm'. His ancestors, on
one able, with the conquer
or, and, on the other, were boat in the .
clouds of Saxon and British fable. Their
war cry had rung and their banners flaunt
ed in every battle from Hastings to Agin
court. • But time had stripped them of
their possessions, as the sea slowly wastes
away some majestic rock ; so that Claud
Marston ; the last of his line, could only
c!aim a solitary tower, with a few roods
of land, for his inheritance,.
A distant relationship existed between
his family and that of the Lady Blanche,
and when in his spurs, in fulfilment of a
a lung-standing promise, he visited Delan
cey Castle, little had Claude thought of
of love ; indeed he boasted that gory should
be his sole mistress. Yet he had rare en
dowments for a lady's bower; ho had
clerkly skill as wed as renown at arms ;
could ume a giitern as well as couch a
lance, and was a minstrel withal. The
Lady Blanche was accomplished beyond
her sex, and could not fail to be delighted
with the arrival of such a Crichton, and it
was not long, in consequence, before she
engrossed a chief portion of the young
knight's time. Perliqrshe hoped to re
venge herself on him or his declared in
difference to her sex. They read togeth
er, rode together, and seemed, indeed,
as her jealous suitors said, to be always
tog? ther.
The ravishing beauty of Lady Blanche,
her playful humor, the grace of her per
son, and the winning sweetness of her
manner, soon made a captive of Claude,
mostof whose life had been spent in camps,
and to wham female society was new.—
Day and night he thought only of the fair
heiress. At first he fancied Ins affection
not otherwise than a cousin's should be ;
and when he awoke from his delusion. it
was to despair. The Lady Blanche was
rich and courted, he poor and unnoticed.—
She could never be his. Too proud to
betray a hopeless passion, he resolved to
depart front the castle as soon as possible,
and while he remained to set guard on his
looks and his tongue, to assume a gayety
he did not feel. and even to jest on the fol.
ly of love, lest he should - he suspected of
his secret passion. Onde, iiidc'ed, he was
nearly surprised into betraying himself;
fur, at times, there was that in the looks
and words of Lady Blanche which almost
made him hope. On ono of these (wea
-1 sions, he made bold to give her a bunch
i of rose, buds, tied with a ribbon that he
found on her table, and he thought he de
tected a consciousness in her manner. Ho

Claude sighed and rtse. He saw that
she had **kind' hie poor item nearly 'to
pieces. i s tom thnf hotir he grew more
reserved, and even haughty at titnes, to
the Lady Blanche. He could not hetpli.

feigned excuse for doing so, but finally a
bandoning them withont an apology. As
for Lady Blanche she seemed to care little
about this pettishness. Of his intended
departure she heard with a gay jest; ha *
was going, she said; it was generally be-
I tiered, to slay the giant Garguntuti.—
f l Claude was piqued, and grew colder than
ever. They never met now but in the
presence of others, and then the Lady
Blanche seemed to seek for occasions to
tease her lover. If he was gay, she rani
cd him ; if he was sail, she pitied him ;
and if he was both in "the sumo Emir, as
often happened, she vowed that men were
fickle, bat Cousin Claud was most fickle of
' all.
• If the willful heiress favored any suitor,
it was the proud Luird of Waltham. He
was still in the prime of life, and at the
head of the baronage, and had long loved
the Lady Blanche. Every one said that;
the gay beauty, all along, had made up her
mind, when she grew weary of flirting, to
wed the Lord of Waltham. Certainly
her manner towards him grew more eon.
tlescentling daily. lie flow filled the post
at her bridle reign which Claude once occu
pied, and often during the evening the pair
were left together, as if by that tacit con
sent on the part of the company with
which lovers arc "avoided. Claude was
jealous, though he fancied no one knew it;
and his wit found vent at the expense of
Waltham, who was rather dull, but, 90
these occasions, the Lady Blanche- would
fly to his suitor's aid, and generally dia..
comfitted the assailant. -
It was the night before Claude's depart.
tire. No one could be more unhappy than
he had bein for the preceding fortnight;
against hope he had yet ventured to hope.
and a single relenting word from his mis
tre.s would give rise to most extravagant
dreams, but the chilling indifference' or
merry raillery of the Lady Blanche had at
last cured him: On this occasion he was
the gayest of the gay. They were talking
of a contemplated journey to the fair host.
"I think of going around by the border.
It is long since I saw it. What s ay you
to it, cousin Claude r You are as merry
as a singing-bird to-night, and would be
ready, I suppose, to advise me to rah into
a lion's den." _
" You surely jest," said he, with earn.
cstness. "The border is very unquiet,
and you would run a great risk of being
made captive."
" Why the man's suddenly become tim
orous as a monk," said the Lady Blanche,
but she blushed slightly, notwithstanding.
Think you. noble gentlemen. that a lady
of England may not travel in her native
realm without fear of capture? What say
" I think," said the Earl of Waltham,
with a haughty glance at Claude," that the
Lady. Blanche may travel anywhere, if
she has valiant knights for her escort, and
for one, I otter my poor sword to defend
her."
What think you of that, cousin Claude "
said the l.ady triumphatly.
" My Lord of Waltham is a brave gen
tleman," said he, with a low bow, " but I
think he has never crossed swords with
the Scotts. I won my spurs against them,
and know the people ; and I shall adhere
to my opinion that it would be dangerous
for you to undertake that route at present."
The Lady, Blanche hesitated, for this
earnestness was not lost on her, indeed,
she had, at first, proposed the contempla
ted route only in jest; but feminine whim,
or some hidden motive, had made her per
severe in it on hearing Claude's disappro.
hation. She was now again in doubt.—
Claude saw his advantage.

will not go Indeid ask it as a farewell
favor." •
He was surprised into speaking thus.—

The young knight was boiling with in

ho have expected T

ham. Perhaps some day you may hear ,
of it, and do me justice."
The next morning, long before eunrise,
Claude and his few followers wore in the
saddle, and without iii ther leave - taking,
bad turned their backs 'on Delaney castle.
It was near noon on the third day after
leaving Delaney castle, that Claude ;Vith
his little troop, were wending their way
up a long hill, near the' border, command
ing.an extensive view .of-.the surrounding
country. For three days he had kept un
observed between the Lady Blanche and
the Scottish frontier, maintaining a con
stant look out ; but dUring ihe last twenty- 1
four hours his
s scouts had lost site of her
cavalcade, though Claude etill believed it
to be on the English side of the route he .
was pursuing. Suddenly, however, on at• ,
mining the brow of the hill, lie saw before
him in the valley 'a thick cloud of dust;
from which gleamed occasionally the glit
ter of helmet, and arms, while the clash of
weapoas-in-a fray, and the shouts of com
batants rose to his ear, softened by the dis
tance. A momentary breeze that swept
aside the dust, revealed the banner of
Lord Waltham ;- and the thickest of the
fight appeared to be amid a group of wo•
men guarded by men at arms. But it was
evident that the English had the worst of
the conflict, and must soon have given
way. Even as he paused, the, triumphant
shouts of the Scotts swelled on 'the air, for
the banner of fiord IValtham was in the
dust.
Claude ran his eyes homily over his lit
tle force, numbering not one-third that of
the assailants, but he knew they would
stand by him to a nan.
"Have at them, my bold fellows," he
said, "England to ate rescue ! A Mars
ton ! A Marston l"—And thus shouting
his war-cry at the head of his gallant band,
and - with his - lanes in rest, ho galloped
down bpon the foe.
Overpowered by numbers, and worn
out by a desperate resistance, the few
knights and men-attirms, who remained
with the Lady Blatt:he—for long before,
Lord Waltham, deeming the battle lost,
h.d put spurs to his steed and'fled from
the field—were on the point of giving up
the contest, when they were cheered by a
well known war-cry that rose even over the
din of the conflict, andbrought conifort and
hope to their fainting bosoms. At the
same instant, looking a p they saw the
young knight thuntlerid _tlm
his long white plume streaming behind
him, and his followers furiously galloping
in The rear. •

We spare the bluehea of the Lady
Blanche ; but as her face lay hidden on
the broad bosom of her lover, she confessed
how long she had secretly loved him, , and
owned herself properly 'punished for her
momentary flirtation. For ra<►y .

Jake, a little buck negro who belonged
to Dr. Taliaferro, was said to have in 'hie
little frame a heart as big as (fen. Jack..

nese, he was as cool as the tip4op of the
North Pole .
One day, Dr, Taliaferro, upon occasion,
of the commencement of a Medical col..
lege, of which he held the chair of Anew;

a well known ventriloquist. Late in the
evening, after the bottle had done its work,
the conversation turned upon courage, and,
the Doctor boasted considerably of his filo'
vorite man Jake He offered to bet - that
nothing mould scare him ; and this bet the
ventriloquist took up, naming at the same
time the test lie wanted hupoasti. Jakel
was sent for and came.
