Feathers are all the rage! What, is that all, not

has he not done so? Am I forgotten already?
Does he intend to oome here with a letter of re
commendation to my father, as he promised?—
Yet he does not oome, neither does he send me
a single word of his intentions, and I shall be
compelled to marry Pippin after all. Father
bothers me, aunt Charlotte bothers me, and now
he bothers me. It serves me right," she con
tinued, crimpling the letter in her hand spiteful.

They fall in love with every pretty girl they

drawing forth a golden locket, and contemplat
ing the miniature it contained, with an expres
sion of sorrow. "Iles that noble countenance
deceived me?"
"Rosa, the cakes are baked!" exclaimed Mies
Charlotta Spindle, suddenly entering the apart

you wy child. Come, we must see that they
are properly frosted Yon know why. To•
morrow we shall have s. magnificent festival.—
But you look like a sick canary bird. What is
the matter with you? What have you there?"
"Nothing, dear aunt," said Rosa, endeavoring
to conceal the minature.
"AL, yes It was someting Something
bright like my spectacle case. Give it, to me!
I shall hive it!"
"It is n.,thing but a miniature."
"A miniature? The miniature of a man? Oh,
child, I hope you have not —?"
"And if I have, aunt Charlotte?"
"I will alarm the house! I will scream fire!"
"But, aunt, would screaming help the matter,

blushes suffused her cheeks "You have no

"Now, quick, who is he?"
"Ab, what shall I say to her?" thought Rosa;
but after a moment's reflection, she stammered:
"It is a miniature of Prince William, who was
visiting the city when I was tkere." •
''Prince William?"
"My cousin Mary gave it to me. She knew
I would esteem it much, for the young Prince is
beloved by all "
"Indeed! Prince William. I never heard of
him; but I suppose he is a good man. How I
should like to see a real Prince. Well, well,
your cousin was very kind Listen, Rosa, you
must give me this minature I'll fasten it to my

placed the miniature in her pocket, and surveyed
Rosa with a benign and complacent expression

"So, no," said Rosa, quickly, "I would rath

"Good, that is right, Rosa," said her aunt, "I
honor you. Weep a maple of tears and
run away to hide yourself. That is true
1 1 maidenly modesty. I did so once,. But now-a
-l days, girls generally look their losers straight in
the face. and speak of love and marrige with as
much unconcern as if it was a plate of ham and
eggs. You must faint away, at least once, dur
ing the ceremony, Rosa. Take my advice, he
will respect you the more for it."
"But, aunt, it will be no pretence on my part,
I assure you," said Rosa; half weeping, half
laughing, "I detest Pippin. He haunts me like
wy shadow. He is as black and uncouth as a
cow, in abort he is a fool."
"What, what, child. What do you say.?-
0, you will sing a different song after the wed

"I shall never be married."
"How? Can you refuse Pippin? Does he
not bold a high office under the town govern

measures?"
"I care nothing for that."
"Is not his family honorable? Why, his
great, great grand father was a Burgomaster ''
"Never mind."
"He is wealthy; he has silver plate—he has
an excellent patch of potatoes this year, and
owns a family vault in the new cemetery."
"I wish I was buried there already."
"Godless child! Thank God, I hear your
uncle coming. He will tell you what an excel•

was a greit lover of literature, owning a large
and extensive library of ancient romances and

exclaimed Miss Spindle, as her brother-in-law
entered the apartment "You possess wisdom;
look at that obstinate girl, and wonder. She
will nut hear of her wedding; she jeers at her
honorable lover."
"Ahem!" coughed Peter, dubiously, "I hope
she has not —"
"Uncle Peter," interrupted Rosa, hastily,
you, I know, will not upbraid me. You have a
library, and yon understand the world."
"Yes, yea, I understand it."
"And you will say with me, that many poor
tale, who have beeq forced to marry arinat
their inclinations, have died of a consumption."
'So, chicken, never I have no sentimental
novels in my library. My books all treat of
robbers and murderrra."
"God protect us!" exclaimed Mill Spindle,
elevating her eyes "It is only ten years ago,
sines Loren: Schtneckbeirn was hung on on our
own gollows."
"You are r i g ht. I think somewhat of pub
lishing his life. Pippin is writing a romance
founded on his adventures. Ile can do it well.
He can write a sonnet extempore; he will have
the rhyme, if he is obliged to tear it up by the

'• 7o you bear that, child? Do you hear that?'
inquired Miss Spiandle triumphantly.
"Pippin is a great man He has studied
metaphysi,•o and can read the Greek alphabet."
"Do you hear that, child? Do you bear that?"
"Sentences flow from his hi:y.l," continued Mr.
Van Dam, "like water from a fountain He

"In short girl, he ,hall be y. , ur husband, my

At this moment the Burgomaster suddenly
entered the apartment.
"Rosa, fetch my wig, I must go to the town
hall,"
"Immediately, dear father," said Rosa, and
hastened to obey his couituand.
"How is.your health, brother Peter?" said
the Burgomaster. "A.h, this is a busy day: I
must work like a plow h.,rse "

"Every body sweep before their own demurs, that

with some asperity, "I am the Burgomaster and

and I shall nut sweep before my dour TLe peo

Here, Rosa entered the room and presented
the wig to her father, who, after exa•uining it
minutely, gravely placed it on his head, and ad
justed it to a proper position
"Is is not strange, brother John," said Miss
Spindle, with uncommon blaodoess, "that Ross's
betrothal with Pippin takes place to-tuorrow
so.
"Ah:" said the Burgomaster with a smile of
complacent satisfaction "To-morrow is a day
of honor to us all "
"But the girl objects," said Miss Spindle
"What:" exclaimed the Burgomaster, "ob

"Dear father," entreated Rosa, "T

father. "I belong to thn State. The good of

"Be at peace, my daughter Cupid's fetters

"AL, they frequently bind the heart until it

"Mr. Pippin is a man of mark in the town ",

A cartons incident occurred to a young Amer.

man, who was traveling, entered a cafe in the
evening. in that city, to dine; at the table he found
himself in company with two soldiers, or non

with whom he entered into conversation ID the
German language Full of republicanism aed
of patriotic admiration of his own country, hi

cooking rice to our taste At our request, tilt
lady above referred to, furnished us the follow

Boil rice until it is soft, and while warm make
it into cakes or flat balls. Dip these balls int,
a beater► egg, and then roll them into Indian

them in lard, which is better than butter for thi•
purpose S. 'tee them with sauce, or with but

Try them, ladies, and in return for this re
