"Tor three days she Jut(' sal.,,opposite to ins
at the. table of the pleasantest of Yhite.Moun•
tain -resorts, (of course I give ,no hint as to
.rvhich Mat ha—tastes ditfer,) and I had grad
ually become enthralled. Her •beahty was
dathling, and her name wits Tarlingford. For
tho first of these items I was indebted to my
own intelligence; for the second to the hotel
register, which also informed me that she was
from New York.
I, too, had come feom New York ; a coiner.)
deuce too startling_to_be caltnly,overlookod.
Our acquaintance began - oddly. One morn
ing, at breakfast,,l woo musing over a hard
',oiled egg, and wondering whether I could
perforate her'affections with anything like the
success which had followed my-fork as it pen
etrated the shell before me,,whend felt a timid
touch upon my toe; thrilling ins from end to
end like a telegraph wire when the institution
is perfect. I looked up, and detected a pink
flush making its way browward od the lovely
countenance aeross thetable.-
"I beg. your pardon . " - said I, with — much
concern. •
"It was my fault, sir :
. excuse me," said she,'
permitting the pink flush to deepen rosily:"
"Shall I pass you the buttered toast?" I
I said.
' " Muffins, if - yod tdeivib," saidium, and so
sweetly that I was blinded. to tlio , absence of
sugar In my-second cup of coffee.
-
1 was conffised by this incident. Many
men would have conaezded, their disquietude
by'an affectation of sudden appetite, or by
bullying the Waiter. or by abrupt departure
from the scene. I did neither. I felt rhad.
a right to be conflialat•and i'gloried in it. '
Very soon Miss Tarlingford withdrew, and
I experienced an aching void within, which
' chops and fritters, hod no power to replenish..
I opened a chambermaid's heart with a half
dollar, and the treasures of her knowledge
were revealed to Inc. The beauty and her
party were to remain a fortnight: Among
her companions there were no males except a
youthful irresponsibility. Exultemus !
Later in.the morning, I heard time tinkling
of the parlor pianoforte. Music has soothing
charms for me, though I have net a savage
breast. '1 dreW near, and found Miss Tarlitig
ford trilling with tho keys, those keys which
lock together so many chains of human aim-.
pathy.. She rose, and 'gave out demonstrations
of impending disappearance, I interposed :
"Pray continue. ram famished for music,
and came especially to listen."
"It is hardly worth While."
" How can you say so ? It is I who know
best what I need.
"I will play for you, then.' 4 .
And she did. This was wonderful. Usually,
a long and painftil struggle precedes feminine
acquiesdence; on such occasions. Repeated
refusals, declarations 'of incapacity, partial
consent vouchsafed and then wayWardly with
potitings, head•tossings, feeble mur
murs of disinclination, and final reluctant
forst the fashionable order of pro
ceeding. The charm of it all is, that the
intention is the same as the ultimate
action. 'Whence. then, this folly ? Baying
been many times wretchedly bored by this
sort of thing, I was now 'correspondingly,
gladdened by the contrast.
:Miss Tarlingford played well, and I said so.
PPretty well,'' she answered, frankly; “but
not as 'well as I could Wish." • ,
Shock number two Ms customary in good
society for tolerable performers to disavow;
all praises, (secretly yearning for more,) and
to assail with invective their own artistic tic
cotnplishments. Here was a young lady, who
played well, and had the hardihood to ac
knowledge it. This rather took away. my
breath, and a vacuum began to come under
my waistcoat.
For. three blissful days Miss Tarlingford
and Fwero seldom seiMrated.' liar sister, a
pale ' sedate maiden, of. amiable appearance,
and her brother, a small, rude boy, of intru
sive habits and unguarded speech, I consented
to undergo, or the sake of conventional ne
cessity. To the mother of the Tarlingfords,
additional respect seemed. due, amA was ac
corded.
Three blissful days of sunshino, meadowy
rambles, forest explorations, — the majestic
tranquility of nature spiced with the sauce of
flirtation, or something stronger. Sometimes
tvo took our marning happiness on foot, some
times our midaiky ecstasy served up an horse
' back, sometimes our evening rapture in an
open wagon at . 2-40..
The puerile Tarlingford, interfering at first,
wasnutumarily crushed: Aspiring to eques
trian distinctions, he wrought upon maternal
indulgence, until, not without misgivings,
maternal anxiety was stifled, and, with injunc
tions that we should hover protoctingly near.
him, ho was sent forth, a thorn in our sides.
In half tin hour he was accidentally romem
•bered, and was found to be ',noWhere within

Ile had drbppea..quietly MI, at the first can
ter, into a miry slough, and had returned-sob , '
bingly, covered•with mortification and mud,
to the urns of his parent. Keen questioning
af dinuCr was the result:
"Why did you so neglect him ?" demanded
fond mamma, adding,' reproachfellY, "'The
child's life might have beeu - sadrificed."
" Mother, we looked for him, and he was
gone, . Why didn't lie cry out?",
"So I did," - Shouted thia .yciuth of open
Speech; "but you two had your heads togeth
er, laughing and talking like, anything, and

sneer.)

I discoveredAmtniy lines lied not fallen in

I avoided the publiti table, and shrunk .from

" Miss Tarlingford, pray exouse - me—your

' " Arabella is my name,. utd". (whispering)
"you may use it, if you like "
"'Oh ' hideous horror! .And this , - is what

which had risen blazing, like a rocket, went
down fnliginous; like the slick.
" Mr. Plovins,d will say you aro limy—

morning's totting of tutrroto.n.t.l3.lth.briolis7
of metal cooky and mutton chops, would tire
me a thousand limos.more than twenty four
hours, of honest ledger work. I sighed not
from love but from labor; , for, to tell you the
truth, I had' never been in love. Is- this logo

that having mode up their until nod counted

too idle, or 'foo indolent to devote rho -lima, or

was through no disinclination or difficulty to
be pleased ; fur had any young lady of mode

Her,c-ix-Tun-DAv—This celebrated Indian
brave: we aro informed by Major Cullen, has
built him a, "gay old house" on his reserved
six hundre and forty' acres, at Crow Wing,
on the Missisaippi. ' The
,house has cost six
thousand dollars in geld, and is nearly sur:
rounded by a piazza. The old chief is living
with six wives, in all the splendor of a Mor
mon_bishop. His parlor is furnished with
seventeen rocking chairs, while the walls are
hung with eightlarge portraits, seven of which
represent hiniself, and the other Major Cullen.
Three of his wives are old, like himself, and
theother three young and benutiful. They
live like "white folks," all 'sit 'at the same ta
ble, and haVe the best china and coffee 'sets
for everyday use. The old man has over ono

- DOWN ON 'rue TENNESSERANIL—There is
said to be an old farmer living in Red River
county Texas, well-to-do in the world and
hospitable, but who has a most inconceivable
prejudice against Tenni:tette° and Temieseeans,
and insomuch that he will not entertain a
man from that State. Ills mode ofascortain-
Mg a Tennesseean is something like Pro-sla
veNy men in Kansas determining a Yankee by
the pronunciation of the word "cow," the •
Yaneee calling it "kew." - Ills word is calico,
which he says the Tennesseans uniformly pro
nounce "'milker." X stranger rides up, and
probably asks the privilege of spending the
eight litilis house. The old planter, titefore
answering definitely pulls out a singular piece'
of calico front his vest pocket, and simwing it
to the stranger, asks what he thinks of it.
"Why, that's 'milker, alit it ?" ho naturally
replies. • "Hang me, sir!" shouts the old plan
ter, " you're from Tennessee 1 sir I you can't
