BY MRS. CAROLINE II. LUTLER.
(CONCLUDED.)
One evening he despatched a hasty note
to our young school-master, and requested
to see him immediately upon business of
a private nature.
Heavens how poor Harry trembled as
he perused this terrible summons! All
was discovered then Mr. Lillfe knew of
his presumptuous love, and had sent to
banish hita forever from the presence of
May. Aud then our little heroine into
what an agony of doubt and apprehension
was she thrown, as she read the billet
which Harry contrived to slip into her
hand.
At the hour appointed, with an unsteady
hand, Harry knocked at the door of Mr.
Lilhe's library. The great Diogenes him
self appeared at the thresh-hold and im
agine the surprise of our hero to be gree
ted with:
Come in, come in, my dear sir I am J shall have my assistance. I will not de
most happy to see you,' (shaking him tain you any longer goodnight. You wi'.l
warmly by the hand.) Sit down, Mr. j tind May somewhere in tue drawing

of the rrods. 4It has lontr been rav wish ' see vou, for I dare say she is puzzhnir her
to know vou better than my very linu.ed
time would allow my pursuits,' (glancing
complacently around him,) 4are a great
bar to social intercourse. The muses,
Mr. Warren, the muses I find are very
jealous ladies do you cultivate their ac
quaintance? No? Ah, I am surprised,
for I assure you I have formed a very
high opinion of your talents.'
Harry bowed, and said something about
honor, &c.,&c.
My daughter, Mr. Warren,' (ah! now
it is coming! thought Harry,) my daugh
ter. I am inclined to believe, has made'
great proficiency tinder your instruction
you have my thanks for initiating her into
some of the more abstruse sciences which
she never before attended to.'
Did Harry dream, or was the wrath of
Mr. Lilue veiled under the most
cutting
irony! He could only bow, and smile 4a
ghastly smile.'
And speaking-of the Muses, my dear
Young sir,' continued Mr. Liilie, ! have
just been amusing myself with a trifle a
mere flight of fancy if you have a few
moments leisure now, I will read you a
few passages.'
Of course our hero considered himself
favored and accordingly with true bom
bastic style Mr. LitUe read several stanzas '
- from tae closely written pages ol his poem.
Never had Harry listened to such trash
he could hardly credit his senses that
any one should be so inflated with vanity
as to deem it even passable!
Ah, it strikes you I see,' said Mr. Lii
lie. ! knew it would. Yes, I see it hits
your vein exactlythis convinces rae our
tastes are congenial.' -
Again Harry bowed not daring to
trust his voice," he was forced to nod his
head continually like a Chinese mandarin
jn a toy-shop.
Mr. Warren,' proceeded the author,
wheeling his chair round and regarding
our hero with great benignity, 'I have im
bibed a great regard for you, and mf an to
make your fortune to smooth your path
to eminence. Yes, I like you, and am
convinced there is no one more worthy
than yourself to receive '
Harry started his face radiant with
hope, he bent eagerly forward to catch
the rest of the sentence.
'But, by the way, mf young friend,
this conversation must be strictly confiden
tial.' Certainly, my dear sir!' exclaimed
Harry, almost breathless.
1 es, Mr. Warren, there is something
about you which pleases me, and there
fore I am about to confer upon you a most
precious gift to bestow upon you my
ah, can't you guess what it isf smiling
archly.
O, my dear sir,' said Harry, seizing
his hand, 'if I might dare to hope!
Yes, Mr. Warren, I am cbout to give
my poem!'
Your poem!'
My poem.'
Your poem!'
Yres, my poem that is, the reputation
cf the thing.'
Harry started up, and paced the room
S3 if pursued by all ihe furie3.
Ah, I thought I should surprise you,' ! assisting little May in her lessons
cried Mr. Liliie. Corns, sit down again, tut envy him?
I said I would make your fortune, and I
will. Now this poem, Mr. Warren, y ou
shall have the honor of delivering before
the Lyceum as your pwn think of that
as your own production.'
Poor Harry was struck ag'pst. Dai,
my dear sir,' lie exclaimed, i can never
consent to such a gross imposition!'
I honor you the more for your delica
cy, young man,' replied the poet; ;but
banish it theteis no need of it between
friends, we perfectly understand each
other you know ou shall deliver this
poem., ( I he Ijoru deliver me! mental-
ly prat.llarry.)

But, ilr. Liilie, why not deliver this
poem yourself why no wear your own
laurels.'' interrupted Harry.
'Ahem Mr. WTarren, I am averse to
popularity notoriety of any kind I detest
i prefer to quaff stealthily the fount of
Helicon, and tread with felled footsteps the
Parnassian hill stop, that's a new jdea,
I'll note it. So long as I have the mental
satisfaction of knowing ihe. poem is mine,
what matters it whether you or I have
the reputation! Say no more you ac
cept my proposition of course.'
Not a word, my dear sir I will take
care thet your are invited to deliver the
next Lyceum lecture two weeks hence
remauer. . That gives yo;i ample time
to study the poem and conceive my mean
ing. Come here every evening ou
little head about something which you
can explain. Good night.'
This latter clause sufficed to check all
further opposition from Harry, for the
moment it least, and with rapid steps he
now sought the drawing room.
Dear Harry!' cried May,
springing
towards him as he entered, ana looking
up in his face as if to read there the stern
mandate which was to separate tliem for
ever. Dearest May, do not tremble thus,'
replied Harry, leading her to a seat, be
lieve me you have no cause.'
Ah does he then approve of our love?'
exclaimed May; her sweet young face il
lumined with hope.
Your father has been kind, my dear
j girl, and that lie doesiot even suspect our
love 1 era convinced, or he would have
been less so. His kindness, however, if
it may be called so,' (and then the lip of
Harry curled doubtingly',) has placed me
in a most awkward predicament. Listen,
dear May, and help me if you can.'
He then as briefly as possible related
the conversation he had just had with her
father, and the strange proposition he had
made him. No wonder he felt the merry
lauji with which the little maiden-closed
his rueful conversation.
Confess now, Harry, you deem papa's
poem most execrable stufi ! she said, look
ing him archly in the fare.'
Dear May, you know I
Confess, confess, Harry no equivoca
tion!' cried May, shaking her little linger.
Well, Mav, I will be honest then you
know, dear one, I would not for worlds
wound your feelings, but rcaily I must
confess 1 never listened to more senseless
jargon! '
That's excellent the more absurd the
better,' said May laughing; 4and you will
deliver it, Harry.'
May!' exclaimed her lover reproach
fully, 'you cannot ask me to make myself
ridiculous?'
cm do you love me, Harry?'
Can you doubt it, dearest May?'
Then if you love me, as Hamlet says,
speak the speech, I pray you.' No doubt j
it will be hissed so much the belter
you will be laughed at better still '
May, May!' cried her lover, turning
away from her, iT you loved me you
would not say this!'
Ah not if it gains papa's consent to
our union!'
That indeed but, dearest May, to be
come a laughing stock to have the fin
gers of derision pointed at one to feel the
lash of the critic, and '
To call little may your own!' added
the coaxing gipsy.
Who could resist such an appeal from
such a pair of rosy lips? or unrelenting
behold the mute eloquence of those beau
tiful eyes! Not Harry; no, nor any other
young lover 1 am sure.
From that evening, dear reader, only
imagine my unlucky hero imprisoned
hour after hour with the learned-author,
declaiming that 'infernal poem,' (I quote
Harry's own words.) Do you not pity
him?
I Out then the stolen half hour below.

In the mean time Mr. Liilie had pol
been idle. He had forwarded letters to
some of the most influential man of the
neighboring towns, inviung them to attend
the next Lyceum, where as he informed
them, a young author, a poet, was to make
his debut before their intelligent commu
nity. In confidence he assared theni
they would be astonished at the depth and
power cf his genius. He had himself
looked over the poem, and although he
woud not wisii to forestall say, that he
had never read such a production!
The eventful evening arrived, and from
every turnpike and cross-road people came j
flocking in to listen to the young author j
some oecause ot ihe lavor 01 iur. Lnine,
others to compliment their favorite the
schoolmaster.
Escorted by the great and learned Dib
genies Liilie, Esq,, and a few of the Icad-
ing members,
llarry was conducted to the
hall, and seate
d within the enclosure "of
platform.
To depict his feelings would be impos
sible hs knew he was aboiit to make
himself ridiculous, and was tempted more i
than once to turn his back and quit the
scene of his approaching disgrace. Not
withstanding the tempting reward he had
in view, the alternative was a hard one
but his eye turned to a distant corner of ,
the hall where the sweet lace ot May
smiled upon him, and her fair hand waved

wavered no longer.

like a hero,
Hairy now arose, and after a few prelim
inaries introduced The Golden Age.'
The two first stanzas el cited a gene.al
smile from the audience iniluenza be-
came universal,
to ludire from the coush-
ing and hem-m

and sixth, many persons left the house.
j and as Harry with the energy of despair
I drew near the close of the first canto, the
j hissing and hooting of the boys outside

. while cue of the committee arose and ad-
vised the orator to sit down!

whom he detected at a irlance to be the
most active in the war of ridicule which
was waging against him. Rage for the
moment overcame his discretion. Hurl
ing the manuscript upon the floor, he
sprang from the desk, made one leap down
the steps, and rushed upon his deceitful
patron!
Do you dare to laugh at me!' he ex
claimed, pale with anger, 4do you dare to
utter a word, you you who are yourself

A little hand was on his arm, and a
voice whispered:

Harry, dear Harry, come away.' And
obeying ihe gentle mandate, our hero suil
ered himself to be led from the scene of
his mortification. .
Poor fellow!' cried Mr. Liilie, recov
ering from the alarm of Harry's onset,
poor fellow, he is almost beside himself 1
see well, it is pitiful trash after all, and 1
fear I gave him too much encouragement,
my friendship got the better of judgment
yet his delivery is the worst why I am
not sure, gendemen, but his ranting aud
mouthing would render Shakspeare ridic
ulous. The poem reads well depend
upon it, gentlemen, there is genius after all
where that poem came from.'
When 'Mr. Liilie reached home he
found Harry awaiting him, storming and
raving to and fro in the library like a mad
man. Rushing upon the great Diogenes
he seized him by the collar:
'Your conduct is unbearable!' he ex
claimed. 4You shall do me justice by
heaven you shall! I am not to be treated
in this way! After palming off your
wretched stuff upon me, do you think I
am going to submit to your ridicule! No
sir, either go forward and acknowledge
yourself openly as the author, or I will
post you at every corner!
Be "calm, pray be calm we'll settle it
all in a moment,'' said Mr. Liilie, pale and
trembling 'lam really sorry that your
first essay should have been so unsuccess
ful.' My first essay!' interrupted Harry,
indignantly. ! am not to be trifled with
no sir I will expose you at once it is
you who shall bear the ridicule, not me!'
and Harry rushed to the door.
Stop stop my dear young friend,'
cried Mr. Liilie, catching his arm listen
a moment; for heaven's sake don't expose
me, it will be my ruin. I will give you
anything you ask if you will only spare
me you shall have money
'Money! Can money npiir the dis
grace you have heaped upon me talk of
money to a man whofeels his future hopes
blasted!' exclaimed Harry; scornfully,
Sir, there is but one way to save your
reputation.'
And what is that, dear sir?' cage'rly
dewmded the author.

pondered, bit his lips and rubbed his eye
brows. Vhy bless, my soul, Mr. War
ren, May is but a child.'
No matter,' was the answer, will you
or wi you not accept my proposition''
Will not five hundred dollars, Mr.
Wasreti '
! No nor five hundred thousand dol

' me; only pledge me'your word of honor
I tijat my secret shall be inviolate, and May

Harry calmed djwn wonderfully quick
considering he had bi e l in sucha passion,
and very oblidgingly made all tlie pledges
to his father-in-law that was to be requi
red. But there is one thing, Mr. Warren,
which I must leave-to your generosity,'
said Mr.'Lilhe. 'May Is ray only, and a
motherless child if this arrangement
should be repugnant to her feelings, 1 trust
you will not p.es your claim we may,
perhaps, find some other way to adjust
this little difficulty. I will call May down,
ana we may as
t
well know at once what
her feelings are.'
Harry coughed, and walked to the win
dow to conceal a smile, feeling at the same
time more respeet for Mr. Liilie for this
last clause in favor of his child, than he
thought him capable of inspiring.
One glance at the happy countenance of
her lover informed May the day was theirs.
And so she immediately took a great

lips, and protested she thought itrealiy ab

made himself so ridiculous she doted on
poets, that she was willing to allow but
not such a conceited IVllow as wrote that
poem she knew.
Harry meanwhile whistled 4Rory O'

as much as to say, lt is perfectly indiffer

Yes, and if those stupid ignoramuses

Taking her hand, her father now led

A Rociaalic "lieauiy" at Saratoga.
A correspondent of tho New York
Tribute gives the following rich, rare, and
interesting account of a beautiful fetuala
adventurer, who assumed the garb of tha
sterner sex at Saratoga:
A mos: singular and exciting instines
of female eccentricity and daring reckless
ness has just transpired here, to the equal
amusement and amazement of all. Scrso
tea days since there arrived in the Southern
train, and look lodgings at Union Hall, a
youth apparently about 18 or 20 years old,
cf singular beauty, with raven locks, a
sparklmg black eye, a complexion ia which
ihe hlly and rose seemed vividly striving
for the supremacy, a voics of 6ilvery tone
and mellow richness, and an eass, maturi
ty and brilliancy of manner altogether
unusual in a male so yonng, and which
attracted the attention and excited univer
sal admiration. In short he apreared to

upon which nature is sometimes so lavish
inS.e bestowment of her gifts, and which
a re as rare as they are pleasing and attract
iveiombining all the delicacy richness
oPrumile beauty, with a precocicusness of
ra nd and men.ier equally marked and
unusual. With, a bolu yet by no ir.ejr.s
rjvle familiarity, he soon made the acquain
tance of mothers and mrsses, who seemed
i-l.ke captiv-tad with the young charmer,
a :d courted his attentions with jealous
rivalry; the former coufidiiig in his youth
as a protection to their daughters, and tho
latter subdued and enraptured by lite beau
ty of his person and the c-Ug3r.ce of his
address, in the Bail room, with his fscli
ionable dress coat buttoned to the chin;
hispund, full chest, his delicate har.d3
and tiny feet, as he moved with exquisits
elasticity and grade through the dance, all
eyes and many hearts were fastened with
lavish, inu-nsi.y. After thus r oting for a
week amid the most extravagant attentions
of the mamas, and the no less extravagant
aO'ectior.s of their captivated daughters, the
young "Uriah Bden," as he booked him
stlf, suddenly disappeared.
From a fear of detection, or some other
cause, he retired to the neighboring villago
ofBailston, and entered the National Law
School there as a pupil, under the pretence
that his parents would be en in a day cr
