A STORY OF LOVE AND DEBT.
A curious anecdote was oifce related to
us, with the name of the person and place
and the date of the event, which we thall
repeat for the benefit of the rising gener
ation, who, in their haste to carry out
(heir views, may commit some mistakes
whose effect will be permanent.
Mr. Hhodes was the high sheriff of
eountv, Massachusetts; and his good name
iuheneted from the father and cherished
by the son, made him not only popular as
an officer, but rather wealthy as a man.
Why Mr. Rhodes had never got marrieu,
the ladies could not ascertain, though
t,orr t:.ll-.l the matter over and over
very often ; but almost all said there must
have Lecn some cause in nis youin, ( -'ir.
Rhodes was thirty-five at least,) which
was known only to himself, and perhaps
one other.
"Some disappointment," remarked Miss
Anna, a young lady who thought it wrong
that gentlemen should be disappointed ;
"some fatal disappointment."
"Not at all," said her maiden aunt,
"not at all; nobody ever thought that Mr.
Rhodes had com age enough to offer him
self to a lady. lie is so modest, that I
should like to see him make a proposal-"
"Yo doubt of it aunt, no doubt of it ;
and to him too," said Anna.
"Your father and. I," said Anna's
mother, "once thought that Mr. Rhodes
would certainly marry Miss Susan Mor
gan, who then lived in the neighbor
hood." 'Was he accepted by Miss Morgan !
asked Anna. m
"I don't believe she ever had an offer,
said runt Arabella.
"Perhaps not," said Mrs. Wilton, "but
die certainly deserved one from Mr Rhodes
and I have frequently thougni tnai, cu
ring services in the church, he was about
to "make proposals before all the congre
gation, as he kept his eye continually on
her."
"Do you think," asked Anna, "tnat
Mis Morgan was iond ot mm as ne ap
peared to be of her V
"She certainly did not take the same
means of showing her feelings," said Mrs.
Wilton, "for she never looked at him in
church, and seemed to blush when by any
means she discovered that others had no
ticed his gazing upon her." .
'I should think," said Anna partly
aside, "that a man like Mr. Rhodes would
not lack coufideucc to address a lady es
pecially if she was conscious of her own
feelings, and of his infirmity."
Airs. Wilton smiled, and aunt Arabella
was about to say that no lady should ever
h.r feelir.irs under such circum
stances, when Mrs. Wilton remarked that
when she had ioked with Miss Mor
gan upon her conquest she rather pet
TjAv rordil that she may have subdued
him, but he had never acknowledged her
power.
"Conquest and possession

did not
of the house, and asked if Mi
was at home.
The servant answered inhe
tive.
As Mr. Rhodes passed along
he thought over the part he had to per
form 110W l:e should introduce the sub
ject how, if the debt should prove to be
onerous, he should contrive to lighten
the burden by his own abilities; and,
when he hud reached the door, he had
conned his salutations to the lady, and his
opening speech on the subject of his offi
cial call.
The servant-opened the door, and Mr.
Rhodes entered with a bow. He blushed,
hesitated, and at lenuth took a seat, to
which Miss Morgan directed him by a
graceful turn of her hand.
After a few moments' hesitation, Mr.
Rhodes felt that it was his business to
open a conversation that would explain
the object of his visit ; so offered, by way
of preface, a few remarks upon the cool
ness of the pring.
"Yes," said Misri Morgan, "but yet,
cold as the weather has been, and even
notwithstanding a few frosts, you see the
trees have the richest fuliage, and the
flowers are luxuriant."
"True," said Mr. Rhodes; "it seems
that though there may be a great deal of
coolness, nature will have her own way
and iu time assert her prerogative bate,
perhaps, Miss Morgan, but still t!ie
same."
Mr. Rhodes felt startled at his speech,
and. looking up, was infinitely astonished
that Miss Morgan was blushing like one
of the roses that was hanging against the
window.
"We are always pleased" said Miss Mor
gan, "to see what we admire, breaking
through the chilling influences by which
they have been retained, and satisfy our
hope of their ultimate disclosure."
Miss Morgan was looking directly toward
the bush on which three roses were clus
tered in most gorgeous lichncss.
Mr Rhodes put his hand into his pock
et, and felt for the official papers, to gather
a little courage from their contact.
"I have an attachment for you," said
Mr. Rhodes.
Miss Morgan, this time, lent blushes to
the rose.
"The attachment, Miss Morgan, is of a
distant date, and I feel that too much time
has already elapsed that indeed, instead
of entrusting it, as I might have done, to
another, I thought that in a matter of so
much delicacy, it would be proper for me
to come in person."
"For me, Mr. Rhodes! the attachment
for me ?"
As I was saving, Miss Morgan, the at-
tnrlmiont 1 have : and I lelt it a matter ot
delicacy to come in person, thinking that
1113' own means might be consiuereu, n
there was any deficiency in the value of
this property.
"Mr. Rhodes, you seem ratner enigmat
ical."
"I nevertheless." said Mr. Rhodes "mean
to speak very plainly, when L say that with
reference to this attachment, uiss jiorgan,
should you honor me so far as to accept
u-y proposition, my pecuniary means would
be devoted to the the attacument.
"I was wholly unprepared for this,
said Miss Morgan.
"T was afraid that that was the case.
said Mr. Rhodes, "and therefore I thought
it more delicate to make the offer in per
"Vou are very considerate, Mr. Rhodes.
"Am T then to understand, Miss Mor
n. that my proposition is agreeable to
vou ;n other words that it is accepted?

"Mr. lihoues, saiu iuu la-ij nuu umui
hesitation, "I must claim a little time to
think of it."
"1 will call then, on my return from the
village beyoud.
"Let me ask a
she, "next week."
"Miss Morgan," said Mr. Rhodes, "the
matter requires immediate answer ; the at
tachment is ot an obi date, ana ume now
is everything. 3Iy feelings are deeply in
terested ; and may 1 not hope that while
feelings to weigh with you in deciding in 1
favor of my proposition, which, I assure
you, is made after due deliberation upon
my ability to perform my part of the con
tract."
Mr. Rhodes then took his leave, aston
ished at his own uuwonted volubility,
which, indeed, nothing could have induced
but his desire to relieve one so much es
teemed as Miss Morgan from present em
barrassment. Mr. Rhodes drove to a neighboring place,
deeply occupied with his good purposce
toward Miss -Morgan, satisfying himseli
that the pecuniary sacrifice he had proposed
was due to his unknown and untold affec
tion for her, and not beyond his means.
Miss Morgan felt a renewal of all those
feelings which had rather been dormant
than quenched in her bosom, and desired
the advice of hcr married sister, who was
uii fortunately absent. That Mr. Rhodes
had once lelt a strong attachment to her,
the could not doubt ; that he had contin
ued to cherish, as she had done, the recip
rocal feeling, she had not ventured to hope.
Rut, as it was evident that the proposition
tf Mr. Rhodes was not from any sudden
impulse, Miss Morgan resolved to signify
her assent to a proposition to worthy of
consideration on ail accounts
In less than two hours Mr. Rhodes drove
up to the door again, fastened the horse,
and wes re-admitted to the little back p.ar-
lor which he had occupied in an earlier
part of the day
In teu days the clergyman, and not the
magistrate, was called in, and the whole
arrangement was consummated.
Auut Arabella, who was so careful
about the tenth commandment, declared
that it said nothing about a neighbor's
husband, and, if it had, she did not think
that she would violate it.

'Miss Morgan," said Mr. Rhodes, "be
fore receiving your answer, which! trust
you are prepared to give in favor of ac
cepting my proposal, 1 wish to state toyou
that I have reconsidered matters, and find
that I am better able to keep my part of
the arrangement than I thought myself
when I ventured to make the offer; so that
the kindness, if you will have that word
used in this matter, is all on your side."
"Under present circumstances I mean
those of our long acquaintance, and our
family intercour.e, though of late rather
interrupted," said Miss Morgan, "and my
vears she added, casting a
right oy
glance at a looking-glass, which showed
only matured womanhood "to speak for
my.-elf, I have concluded to consider your
proposal favorably."
"Consider! Miss Morgan consider fa
vorably ! may I not hope you will accept j
it?"
Miss Morgan gave no answer.
"Nay, then it is accepted," said Mr. R.
with a vivacity that the lady thought
would have brought him to her lips to
her hand, at leat.
"liow happy you have made me," said
he. "Having now disposed of the matter,
there are ten days allowed."
"That is very short," said Miss Morgan,
"only ten days ; you seem to be iu haste,
unusual to you at least.
"It is the attachment, and not I that is
imperative."
"You speak rather abstractedly, Mr.
Rhodes."

Mn. Editor. : There appeared in your
columns some time ago, a specimen of
the Texiau Theological mode of naming
and yoking oxen iu that State ; which i
admit is well adapted and ingeniously
prepared to suit the taste of the proprie
tor. Rut he has taken an unlawful libcrt
iu connecting the "Old Baptist" with any
denomination, for they never have been
yoked nor r-ulled with any sect. This
Texiau driver, in the very act of yoking
and naming his oxen, shows plainly that
he was quite a greenhorn ; having neither
informed himself in divine or profane his
tory. Rut for the better information of
the public, I would give the following
short specimen of the rise of the "Bap
tist," and wherein they were anywise
connected with any reformation, under
the following simile :
The prince of Texas, having the whole
realm at his command, with all the wealth
and prosperity of its citizens at his dispo
sal, while as yet there were no public im
provements such as railroads, turnpikes
and plank-roads, resolved fur his own
pleasure to prepare a highway, leading
from a large village iu his boundaries,
.Tpriflio. to intersect a bcautilul situation
on the other side of the river Jordan
named Bethabara. lie then prepared j
chariot to be propelled by an ox-team.
The chariot was made ot gold, within pa
ved with love

hitched to it was a "True Blue" large
in stature, kind in disposition, cheerful
iu obedience, powerful in strength, and
swift iu speed all his passengers were
the chosen and called. They took passage
in Jericho; the highway led to Jordan,
where there was only a fording. The
prince never admitted of building a bridge,
as it was truly pleasing to him to witness
the passengers going down into Jordan,
he being present to encourage and when
needed. He had himself crossed at the
fording, for sample to all the passengers;
at which time a beautiful dove came to
witness the scene, while vet the prince
was in the water, and
Load, mid a voice like uistant
from the High 1'rince was heard saying,
"the Lcene is trubj pleasing. This strong
li ts a variety of titles : by one caiieu
ter trying different schemes, he concluded
to build a large castle on the hill top, and
make his abode there. lie did so, and
hoisted his colors, with this motto engra
ved thereon "High Education." But
the hill being high and the air dry and
cool, he very soon became thirsty : and
remembering Nebuchadnezzar being wet
wifch the dew of heaven, thought it em
blematic of good things to come, which
might be fulfilled in his day and person ;
and for this purpose, set himself down
with his face (riot heart) towards heaven
to receive the dew drops, but they fell in
the night, not daylight, being a fit emblem
of infant sprinkling, which is but the
work of darkness.
I here leave Mr. Presbyterian on the
top of the hill in the enjoyment of all his
glory and privileges. I had intended to
notice a little of Messrs. Methodist and
Caiupbellitc, but time fails me.

Councils of England to that effect Such
is not the case, as is proved in the extract
from a letter written by William l'cnn,
dated January 5, 1CS1 :
"This day, after many waitings, watch
ing, solieitings and disputes in council,
my country was confirmed to me under
the great seal of England, with large pow
ers and privileges, by the name of Penn
sylvania a name the King would give it
in honor to my father. I chose New
Wales, being a hilly country; and when
the secretary, a Welshman, refused to call
it New Wales, I proposed Sylvania, and
they added Penn to it ; though I was
much opposed to it, and went to the King
to have it struck out. He said it was

day we were reading a description of en
thusiastic demonstrations at a political
gathering when the type went on to say
"The air was rent with the snouts of

ridiculous "bull" was once made by the
foreman of a daily office in Indianapolis.

'the at-
little more time," said
"L thought," said she, smiling,
tachmcut would be for life."
Mr. Rhodes looked exceedingly confused.
At length he started suddenly toward the
lady.
"My dear Miss Morgan, is it possible
that for once in my life I have blundered
into the right path ? Can I have been so
fortunately misconceived ?"
"If there is any mistake," said she, "I
hope it will be cleared up immediately. I
can scarcely think that Mr. Rhodes would
intentionally offend an unprotected orphan, j
the daughter and sister ot his lormer
friends.""
Mr. Rhodes hastily pulled from his
pocket his writ of attachment, and showed
it to her.
"This is certainly your name, and this
property "
"Is the disputed possession," she re
plied, "of my sister-in-law of the same
name, Mrs. Susan Morgan."
Mr. Rhodes stood confounded. He was
afraid of the course which the matter was
likely to take.
"So. Mr. Rhodes, you see the attach
ment wasJbr this property. Now, as it is
not mine, and as, indeed, I have little of
my own, you, of course, have no claim
upon my person."
"I beg your pardon, my dear Miss Mor
gan. I beg your pardon. You have not
the property, indeed, for me to attach, but
l.i i.lf:ised to read lower down on tne
writ ; you will see loot at it, u you
please 'for want thereof, take the body.' "
"But the promise was extorted under a
misapprehension, bo that I may be re

present form, as it admitted of no oil-side
ox, but single file, in succession, never
admitting of "Presbyterians," "Metho

be yoked in with this ox. This great ox
ran singly in the chariot for about fifteen
h.m.lr.-Tl vears. without any assistance
whatever but from the prince ; but any
amount of opposition, chiefly from a fu
rious bull running at large without any
restraint, named "Mystery." This horri
ble beast often attempted to overthrow ox,
chariot and all, and would have succeed
ed had not the prince interfered ; yet
Mvstery gored many bullocks to death.
But strange to relate, there appeared a
large young ox offering aid to True Blue,
bur of the same race as the horrible beast,
and possessing the same disposition, (re
foriner,) which was manifested when op
posed by goring to death a young bullock
of old ox's race, named "Servatus." But

When on a level road, or down hill, he
would pull; but up-hill, he would pull
back. But still "Real Baptist" kept his
onward pace, not being disturbed by the
flirtatious of young bullock. Presently
they came in sight of the river, (Bap

his whole might, but the driver (Mr. Ubc-

Sold. A travelling Yankee lately put
up at a country inn, where a number of
loungers were assembled, telling stories.
After sitting some time and attentively
listening to their folly, he suddenly turned
and asked them how much they supposed
he had been offered for his dog, which he
had with him. They all started and curiosity
was on tip toe to know. Une guessed live

they had exhausted their patience, when
one of them seriously asked how inneh he
