A kind-hearted, teeny - little man, who laughed from morning till night, and whose mirth was - - so contagious that all within the sound and indwells* of it laughed too. The baton bad a fair made, with deep, thick woods surrounding it, and be could stand on a high hill near, tied all the lend which his eye took -; in, was Baron Von Helmsted t s ownee-Scores of horses I stamped in his stables, hundreds of hirodrede mewl through the grounds, and the baron's purse was as deep. full and unfathomable. as Rosalind deelareth the Bay of Biscay., There was no wife to sound her shrill pipes in his ear, there were no child - tee to tear and rend his heart. No! a ' happy, care-free berchelor • so .died, was he, and such would he have lived, and • . smoking his pipe on the cushion of contentment, ana at last lying quietly and peacefully in his grave NI all his fathers did, had it not been for a certain knees Von Helmeted, who had the honor to gar—the boot% nephew. Now this nephew Ernest was certainly not thalami of character that appears on the stage in novels. roe mances and such like, i n &martial, swaggering attitude. • breaking father's, gutudian's and loving kinsman hearts. Dame Margery, the crossest of women, who held the house -keeping keys at the castle, lift '-up bee " hands and eyes at the mention of his name, and de- • elated—"A kind, sweet spoken, civil gentleman ionises 'ter Ernest Von Helmsted." Many a gentle, pretty maiden had rested her bright eyes approvingly epos him, sighed and murmured—"A right hindsome, no ble, gallant-looking youth is Master Ernest Von Melee sted " The ruling authcrities at divers"universities. , all had written—''Brave, strong.heartsti, wise and learned, an honor toltis bleed and race, is Master Er nest Von Helmsted." And the baron, as he was suf feted to win game after game of backgammon in the • lonerimer evenings, ar,d the baron as he listened to , many conceits and quaint old stories,andtbe baron as he held the strong arm which night after night made the ascent up the old suitcase mew?. acknowledged with tears in his eyes and a swelling at his heaA kind, gentle. loving nephew is this nephew of mine; this Ernest Von Helmeted." And yet was this same Ernest the theta in the merry old gentleman's flesh, which checked the , sound of hosed is laughter for full half an hour at a time, and comp •: his countenance to a most sad and melancholic aspect, while the clouds of blue smoke floated in fantastic . . - • dreamy wreaths around his head. All this—beelines the worshipful Master Ernest totally refused to enter the holy estate of matrimony; would as soon have be held his satanic majesty as any thing in the shape of a petticoat, and crossed himself involuntarily, whenever he chanced :o encounter a pair of dark melted orbs. The reason fur which remarkable obliquity in Master Ernest being: First: ho was distressingly modest and diffident; Secondly and lastly, lie was somewhat bide- lent, somewhat melancholy, and loved nothing better than roaming through the woods, peopling every tree with hamadriads and fawns, and dreaming of Write and mysterious influences, with perhaps pale, slender. willowy heroines, half-moonshine, half-vapor' with not a sensation in common with the vanitysgiveninaidens. of this vanity.losing world. • The Baron Von Helmsted talked, and the Baron '. Von Helmsted swore, and exerted all the eloquence with which nature bud gifited him—which, smith to say, was not a superabundant quantity-Is-end all to no purpose. Elie nephew listened- - at find with amuse tnent, then with weariness, and at length, after LWOW' three years had posed, and the lectures were not die continued, grew horribly indignant thereat, and would rush forth into the woods to escape, where, with his nymphs and dryads, he soon got calm again. At length the baron hit upon a desperate expedient. He applied to a female relative, and, she, with three:oe four damsels. (to give Master Ernest a fair field fur choice,) came and took up her abode at the castle. Heavens! What a siege the poor baron bad.— • Dame Margety went almost frantic with rage at this unheard of innovation on her territories, and her de lectable voice sounded in his ears from morning till night. The ladies, too, with du it maids and toilets, their niceties and their frivolities, their airs and -their miandeiies, turned tire old house topsy-turvy, and con- fusion reigned from one and to the other thereof. As for Master Ernest, who was the prime cause and mover, th3ugh the roost unwitting and innocent one, of all this hubbub—Master Ernest entirely evacuated the premises and fled to the woods, where he took up - „, his abode with his fawns and nymphs and satyrs • . At length the female relative and her retinue, per ceiving -... how useless it was, grew weary of the old castle, and the pour baron could nut repress a sigh of relief as the gate closed upon them one fair summer's . morning. His nephew returned. the crosshcusekeep er grew amiable, and the Baron Von Helmsted fur a titne seemed to render himself to an inevitable destiny- But again he evinced signs of restlessness; - again he .. \ appeared on the eve of a great undertaking t el so • he was; for the Baron Von Helmeted, who bid nes ded peacefully and contentedly on his territories for the last thirty yea a, as a wise man should, was absolutely going a journey. Again did Dame Margery lift up her hands and eyes, rind this time she exclaimed, "the Baron Von Ilelmsted is certainly bewitched." As fo:the Baron, ho went away. A month rased; - then two and three, when some workmen came, dee pntched by his orders, to motM and renew one entire side of his castle. And then, when numberlesii taste.' ful and fairy-like npartments had been prepared, the . most exquisite and recherche furniture in the world • arrived to occupy and adorn them. A letter reached the castle in which Ernest, to his intense astonishment and infinite merriment, learned that his uncle, failing in his attempt to induce him to enter the holy state, had been driven to it hi:nself, and - would be there with his bride on the morrow. Ernest was amused at the evident embarrassment which ed out from every part of the worldly old bermes let ter, the idea of the whole matter was infinitely Ludt.' '. crows to him, and lie laughed. where most young gem , tlemcn would have sworn, fur Ernest Von Hobos* was to have been his uncle's heir. The morrow came, the noon, the night_brightly the fires gleamed, brightly the lights flashed, and amid ' mitt, storm and tempest, a carriage dashed violently op to the door; it was the Baron Von Helmeted, sad i the Burnt) Von lielmsted's bride. Ernesthad for some reason or other pictured the lady as a tall, gavot. bony - larking woman, on the shady side of fifty, asen-_ tire a contrast to his uncle as could possibly be con ceived. As she stood enveloped in her cloak land muffling. , he saw that she was quite small, and a ula withered, mengre visage presented itself to his fancy.
