HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, l 8
IS was rather foolish in the old fellow to
make such n silly bet ; but I was sure
could resist the attractions of my cousin
even though she should prove to be a `'e•
nus, that I considered the money already
mine, and what was far better, that I had
won the victory over him.
That night uncle Ned started for his
plantation in South Carolina.
CHAPTER 11.
My lather died three years before this
conversation, leaving me an ample fortune.
Ills two brothers had been in South Caro-
lina for thirty years, where the tether of
Rosalie died, leaving my uncle Ned her
guardian.
I had often been told that Rosalie was a
very pretty girl ; but she had been to the
North only once, and then I was travelling
in Europe, so I had never seen her.
I had written uncle Ned promising to
spend a month with him in the autumn.—
Business had called hint to Boston where
our interview occurred. Be had more
than once expressed a desire that his bro
ther's property might remain in the family
and pressed me to unite my fate to that of
his beautiful niece.
This was out of the question. A ' , made
.up muicW' was my ab unination. Cer•
tain'y I had no other reasons for my vio
lent prejudices against the marriage. I
considered it a sacred ob.igation to full in
love before I took a wife, and the idea of
being pledged to Rosalie before I had seen
her myself was so absurd that I had not
patience to think of it.
And then 1 had a principle for my gui
dance in allairb of the heart, which abso
lutely forbade me to think of such a thing
as a "marriage for cnnvenience."
The.auttinin came and I paid my pro
posed visit to uncle Ned's plantation in
South Carolina.
I was disappointed in my cousin Rosalie.
She was a tolerably good looking damsel,
but in lily opinion very far from being like
the beautiful creature she had been pictu
red t,
" , Isn't she handsome, Bob 1" said my
uncle. 'Did you ever see such lips, such
a head at blur, sum h eyes, such a graccral
form z Isn't she handsome, eh, you dor,
And the old fellow punched MC in the
ribs, and roared with laughter till he near
ly split his sides.
I couldn't for the life of me ~ce what he
was laughing nt.
, Isn't she beautiful, you rogue ?' hem-
tinued,
'Pa:"..Wie,' I replied very coldly
, Passable ! You puppy ! What do
you mean to say that Rosalie is not Muni-

hal an idea you were a man of torte, but
1. see you are as likely to fall 'in love with
one of my black wenches as with the pret
tiest girl in South Carolina.'
'Who's that, uncle Ned?'
This remark was called forth by the
sudden appearance, upon the gravel walk,
of the loveliest creature 1 ever beheld, and
that, considering 1 have flirted with the
belles of Paris, Naples and Rome, is say
ing a great deal. I was confounded by
the sudden apparition, and springing from
my scat as if an electric shock had aroused
the slumbering blood in my veins, I stood
bolt upright before her.
Shades of Venus ! did any one ever see
such loveliness ! suuh a graceful movement
or such a divine eNpressioo !

stammered she, with such a detectable
blush on her cheek, that I nearly went
mad with enthusiasm.
Before Lcould recall my .cattered senses
the beauty bounded away as lightly as a
lawn.
11 hut the devil ails you, Bob ? what
are you staring ?' said uncle Ned.
11'ho is she I' asked 1, clasping my
hands in the rapt n roils excitement of the
moment.

differently.
• 'Beautiful !' said I.
'Site !Passab !'
'She is divine !'
_......
"Tolerably viol looking, but 61ie is
nothing to be compared with my Rosa
lie,'
I was about to say something saucy ;
but 1 thought since uncle Ned really belie
ved what he said, I would not hurt his feel
logo by denying it. At dinner I met both
L, li • and was formally introduced-to
•-•y Iphie Iloward. I was provoked with un
cle when lie assigned me a seat inext to
Rosalie. I colfd hardly be civil to her,
with such a pair of beautiful eyes before
me, mil I hardly ceased to gaze upon
Sylphie during the hour we spent at the
table.
After dinner we went out to ride horse
back. Uncle Ned annoyed me again by
contriving it so that I could help Rosalie
mount her horse, and ride by hor side, and
he the provoking old fool, did all those of
fices of gallantry for Sylphie.
'No use, old chap, you shall lose your
bet,' thought I, and I tried to be civil to my
cousin.
I don't think I succeeded very well.—
lam sure I did not fall in love with her.
My eyes rested nll the time open the fair
and graceful horse-woman who rode before
me.
And thus it was for a week. Uncle
Ned managed to keep me by the side of
Rosalie nearly all the time. If we played
whist she was my partner ; if we rode in
the carriage she sat by my side; if we wal
ked, he monopolized Sylphie and left Ro
salie to me—and morn than once the old
fellow left us alone together as though he
thought I was all ready to pop the ques
tion, and hand him over the thousand.
But I was discreet. I gave her a wide
berth, and sighed for the love of the beau.
tiful Sylphie Howard. I was head over.
heels in love—would have eloped with her .
in a moment, if she would have consen
ted.
In spite of my uncle's vigilenee, how.
ever, I found opportunities to flirt a little
with Sylphie, and one day I lurrod her
into a grove of palmettos in the rear of
the mansion house.
Time was precious. I was the hero of
a novel. Cruel uncles in bob-tail wigs
sought to crush out the affections of my
heart. In short I threw myself at her feet
and with all eloquence that Ilarverd Col
lege had been able to crowd into my com
position, I declared m love.• Al used clas
sic terms, I quoted Milton, Byron and
Sli al,3pero and called on all the gods in the
Ureece and Rome.

cid; she coulden't help accepting me—l
am not an ill-looking fellow, let me say,
extenuation of her weakness,and I had pop
ped the question in a decidedly original
manner. To be sure she accepted me.
I printed twenty four kisses on each of
her pretty cheeks, and she blushed till I
thought her eye lashes would take fire
and cheat me of my prize.
We kept our counsel fur two or three
weeks, and one morning, when we were
titling out, we got away from uncle Ned
and Rosalie an:l clipped it away about ten
miles to a clergyman, who was so obliging
as to supply :ne with a marriage certifi
cate.
We rode buck more leisurely. Indeed
my elopement was just the kind of excite
ment to suit me.
Wo got back to uncle Ned's about
dinnor.tiine.
"Where have you been?' asked uncle
Ned.
' , Over to Rev. Nr, -'s. Allow
me to present my wife,' said I with per
fect nonchalance.
“The devil.'
"Just so; and uncle Ned you have lost
the wager. Ono thousand if you please,'
said I, holding out sty hand.
"Nu you don't you puppy.'
''Fairly woo.'
"Is it, Rosalie ?' said he turning to my
wife.

"Not quite, unole Ned, this is not a le

"I don't cam a straw for that. You

An Illinoiu Judge.
I I:,ew one Judge, who presided at a

convicted of murder, and it became his do•

The judge then said :
Mr. Green, you must know that it is a

and you had better get all the time you

The clerk looked at the alma a le ca

The judge then said :
Mr. Green, the court gives you this Jay

The case was prose Outed by James Tar.
