FROM A W/DOWER To A WIDOW, WITH AM onset
OP HARMAOX.
My Dear Madam—your kind looks and cordial
words have accompanied tuts all the way home, and—
the truth is. I write this before going to bed; I shall
sleep the more soundly for having the matter dr my
mind. It is true, we have met but once; but we are
both of us at that rational point of life, when pulpier
know the most value of time; and as all ceremony is
but an idle waste of existence, I beg herewith to ogee
you my band, and with it. though I have bum married
before, an entire heart. There are hearts, madam, al
low me to say, all the better for keeping; they become
mellower, and more worthy a woman's acceptanee,
than the crude, unripe things, too frequently gathered
—as children glace- green fruit—to the discomfortof
those who obtain them. I have been married to one
wife, and know enough of the happiness of wedlock
to wish it to be continued in another. The best com
pliment I can pay to the dear creature now in hamlet. -
is to seek another dear creature here on earth. She
, was a woman of admirable judgment, end her portrait
.---it hangs over my chimney-piece—smiles dean upon
me as I write. Sh I
seems to know my thoughts, and
to approve them. said, madam, she was a womell
of excellent judgment.
My mean* are tolerably good, more than sufficient
for my widowed state. Of the truth of this, your so.
licitor shall have the most satisfactory proof. I have
also heard --usually heard—that helms, has not, my
dear madam, been blind to your deserts, and bas awe&
dad you more than enough to keep the. wolf from the
door. I rejoice at this; for whatever might be my die.
appointment, I would not entail upon you the incurs.
nience of natirrutee unaccompanied by an agreeabbt
competence. What is enough for ime—it bat bees
said—is enough for two. But this is the ignoraneette
Cupid, who never could learn figures. Now Hymen,
as you must know, dear tnadam—is a better arithme
tician; taught as he is by butcher and baker. Love be
a cottage is pretty enough forgirls and. boys; but wee ,
and women like a large mansion, with a coach-house
and stabling.
You may urge against me, that I have incembran
nes. By no means. My daughter having married a
beggar, hat ceased to have any natural claim upon me.
If lam civil to her, it is solely--from a certain weak
ness of heart that I cannot whollyeonquer; and some
thing too, moreover,to keek up appearances with a mett,
dling world. I have told her that she is never to
expect a farthing from me, and I should despise myself
not to be a man of my word.
1 have, too, a s;.n ; but when I tell you that I have
once paid his debts, incurred in his wild minority, you
will allow that, except my . blessiut and at times, my
paternal advice, he can expect nothing more. I know
the d ones of a father, and will never satisfy the cravings
of a profligate. Nevertheless, be is &return son ; and
whatever may be his need, my blessing and my coun
sel he shall never want.
My health, madam, has -ever been excellent. I
have worn like rock. I have beard of such things as
nerves. but believe it my fate to have been born with
out any such weaknesseu. I speak thus plainly of
essentials, as you and I, madam, are now too wise to
think consumption pretty--to tie ourselves to ill-health,
believing it is vastly interesting. I can ride forty miles "
a day, sold taken hedge with my fellow of five lied
twenty. I say I speak of these things that you may
know me as I am. Moreover, I assure you that I eat
with my own teeth, and grow my own hair. Besides
this. I am only two and fifty.
What do you say, madam'? As for vices, lamas an
honest man, I do not think I can lay any to ay charge.
I may have human weaktiesuckt, indeed, an I
have touched upon above; but, madam, it has ever
been my study through life to be respectable. I have
the handsomest pew in the church, and don't owe any
man a shilling.
Well, my dear madam, it is getting late, and I must
conclude. I hate to be out of bed after eleven--it is
now past twelve. Hence you must perceive how very
much lam interested in this business. In another ten
minutes I shall be asleep, and dreaming of yon. May
I wake to find my dream—for I know what it will be—
e reality!
If our solicitors are mutually satisfied, will you name
the day? lam superstitious about days—say, then, '
say Thursday week, and believe me your devoted
lover, till death. NICHOLAS BLACKTHORN. `..
P. S. May I see you to-morrow 1
G. W. GLASSGOW
Sir—Your favor of lust night has, I own, surprised
me.' What! after one meeting, and that at a card par
ty, to make such an otrer ! Well to be sure, you man
are strange creatures! What, indeed, could you have
seen in my conduct to think I could look over such
boldness?
As for the rational point of life you speak of, I must
confess I know not when that exactly occurs; do you
think it—at least with women—at two-and thirty; or if
not, may I beg to know what age you consider me?—
Perhaps, though, my early and inoperable lose may
base brought a look of premature age upon me. It is
very possible—for what a man he was!
As for what you say about the hearts, sir, I know but
little; I only know the one I have lost. If I did
pluck it green, like winter apples in my storeroom, it
grew riper and riper in my care.
You say your wife's portrait smiled wbile you wrote.
Rio dear miniature is now before me; I think I see
the tears waning tbiough the ivorf as I look upon the
precious features. If he ever could have frowaed,
but surely be would frown now to think,—but I will
not pursue the theme.
7 . As to your means, sir, lam happy to hear they are
sufficient. Although I can by no possibility have an
interest in them, nevertheless I myself too well know
the blessings of competence net to congratulate you.
True it is, I know but little of the way of money, but
am blessed io my solicitors, Messrs Grip and Nip, No
Furnival's inn.
You speak of your incumbrantea my husband dyir
leg, left me without a single one. That yourdaughxer
should have forgotten her duty, is an affliction. lam
glad, however, to nod that you know the true sabres
of consolation, and refuse to lend yourself to her imp
providence. Truly, indeed, do you say it is a med
dling world I have found it sa as some of my la
mented husband's poor relations will answer for me.
However, as I could not endure the sight of any thing
that reminded me of my dear lost treasure, I have left
them fur ever in Cornwall. Et is now some mouths
since they have ceased to distress me.
Your son may mend. If you will allow me as a
stranger to speak, f think you should still act with ten
derness towards him. How very little would pay his
passage to Australia!
Health, is indeed, a treasure. I know it. Had /.
not bad the robastness--pardon the word!—of a mew
min nymph, I had never survived the dreedful slunk
that creel death has inflicted on me. As it -it
struck medown. But, as the poet says, "unbelted&
rises when the oak goes crash."

In this fleeting life, bow small and vain are personal
gifts compered to die treasure* of the mind! Still, if
there is any thing I admire, it is 6ne teeth. A wig. at
