one the reputation of a good-natured fellow,
and as the world commonly pretends to . have
a high opinion of a good natured fellow; and
aceording: o, the proverb, 'opinion is the
queen ot the world,' the mailer may think
Paul must have had a happy time of it. No
such thing.. Paul's good nature brought him
into more embarrassments and • vexations
than if_he had_been ihe_erossest_cur_lhat_e_v_ _
er snarled.. I speak not of lendina , umbre!las

throUgh'subh. a rigmarole dance of adientu
by the perverseness of fortene e that he fougtit
a duel and ahem married a widow !
The widow wiiiiilady of a certain

anany tearilor.the loss.clher good man—so
she protested, and I cannot help thinktrg
,she spoke the truth; lot she tried very hard.
to get - another. - Hot.Vever, this did not prove •
so easy a malteccor.Olabegh the widow was - -
nnt without Orionis' tlits..tnen Were shy.—
W hat could be the reason 1. Shit gave splen
&Carp:Mies. and ' Janglers without tffirrther,
but it was never a match, What could be
the reason? the reader will ask again.
• IL is not exactly my business to tell; as the
story will be plain enough without it, and it
the reader cannot press, it %meld not Much
help him to let cut the whole Mystery.
'This is truly
. delightful' said Paul one
evening to the widow, as he leaned his arm
over the back ot the chair, Artiked his face
up to the blandest of all his acquiescent
smiles, and essayed some flattering compli
ment cony-mit ' r the widow's fine entertain
ment. 'This isdelightlet, so much hilarity
and cheerfulness—so many happy traces, 1
teve tolook them: _
./ Piet inadvertently raised his eyes as he
'•utte!eil these-words, and at the close of the
speeoli was looking straight into the widows
lace, He meant not the last harm in the
world, but the widow pretended to blush.—
She pureed up her pretty mouth—
'o, Mr. Pliant you are a groat Ilatterer,but
we know you are honest. You never say
one thing and mean another.'
iCertandy, by all means, my dear mad
am.'
'Bet really Mr. Pliant, my dearsir, when
a gentleman tells a lady that he loves.to look
on her, you know that is really . significant2
'0 yes, certainly yon ate quite right mad
am,'_ • •
'Well, you are frank, Mr. Pliant' and I
shall certninly give you credit for sincerity..
Another man might say ten times as much
alid I never think of regarding it, but I know
I can rely upon the. word of - so honorable
a-gentleman as Mr, Paul Pliant' _
'Rely upon my word ! surely you, may,
Mrs. %Ville!, I should be 'sortry if —2
'O, don't mention it my dear sir. I never
aloub'ed it for at moment, certainly you nev
er would have hinted anything like attach'

'Certainly, ma'am,' replied Paul in great,
amazement, With the conjecture how he had
been so , unlucky allo say more than 'he

mained transfixed with horror and vexation
for two thirds of' a minute, and then, without
taming a word, made a leap for the door,
and bolted out ot the house.

When Paul arrived ht..the field- of action
.on that eventfut day, lie fthind his spirits a
great deal fi - mier thiiir-lie expected. In , fact
he felt himself inspired 'by the gleafriess of
'the occasion, and 'very naturally; -- for when

It seemed now to be all over with Paul.—

self—ll filling Wont save me.' The tlaY was
fixed and the fate seemed inevitable. The
nearer it approched, the less lie seemed re
signed to it. The day before tre'weddipg s
Paul met Dr. limilennight, the, Worthy `par
son who was to join him to his bonny Bride.
'Doctor,' said Paul 'flow shall I escape?'

dedly of the opinion, that when the ceremo.
ny takes place, and I propound the-regular
question, ' Will you take tkv; woman. for your
wife you reply 'No,' it is not a marriage,
by no manner.of means.'
'I can't do it said Paul mournfully. I have
tried it a huifilled times, but the word stuck
in my throat, There is a spell upon me in
matters of denying; I must assent to every
thing. I was born without capacity to do
otherwise.—Ask me if- I - hare got thine
herds, i should say yes'
'Thel Yea alivaveshy yes V,
