He blushed deeply, then fixing his eyes on her file° with a determined look, ho asked her if she was to earnest--. "never more so," she earnestly replied. "Susan," continued he, "you ought to have told me so before—why have you received my attention so lougNnd •by your conduct taught me to hope that my warm ofreCtion. was reciprocated" "Ha! you tru st every smile, then," she naming ly replied. Edward felt his heart break iok—and, after wishing her a long and hap. py life, he hurried from her presence. He had no sooner left _her than he felt himself' released from a dangerouS snare; he con- Soled himself by reflecting' that she was unworthy of his lute—nnd, if ho was no: altogether so happy as he might be, he nits' not so unhappy as ho expected to be.'

I —and. as he was be i loved by all tar his steady and amiable disposition, no one, either old or young, thought any better of her on that account. Time rolled rapidly along and Susan Ifound herself twenty two years °rage, with out having had the second offer. It is true that a narrow laced bachelor of fifty once asked her father's consent to address her, and she fretted a whole week and would not go to meeting, because her prudent pa rent gave him a negative answer without consulting her. There was, also, some stranger in the village who would, !per chance, bow politely, if riot significantly, to her as ho passed_sher window, and even sometimes ask her to take a morning ride in his carriage—but what of this? No one professed what Edward had, and she began to reflect a little sorrowfully on the un kind tieatment she had given him. He was now in easy circumstances, and might sometimes be seen riding in his own car riage with his wife and two blooming children. Three years passed away, and Susan began to thit.k in good earnest that she would be under the sad necessity of living a life of "single blessedness," when a new personage came to puss a few months in the village. lie wore a gold watch, rode in an elegantly gilt chaise, and what was more than all, he came directly from the city. The villagers looked upon him almost as a superior being, and no one spoke higher in his praise than Susan %Vil na, for be passed her window every day, and always took particular pains to make her a fashionable bow. She once met him at a ball—and what was her ecstucy of delight when, after having shown her much attentien during the evening, he very po• 'Rely offered to escort her home. This was indeed a moment of triumph to the neglect ed Susan. She had caught the city beau, and the disdainful looks she cast on those around her as he conducted her through :he crowded room, were such as could not easily be misunderstood; the fine gilt chaise was waiting at the door, and when she found herself seated within it, and the wheels running merrily around, she almost thought she was in another world, and fan cied herselfan angel. From this evening the stranger was an almost constant miter at the house of Mr. Willis—and Susan was often heard to drew comparisons be. I ween the manners and the equipage of the city beau and those of the rustic youth of her own village. She was seen frequently riding in the gilt chaise, and then she loved to pass the neat white mansion of Edward Littleton, who was now a widower, and dwell on the splendors which her new lover promised her when he should take her to the city. ' She thought much on the difference between her first and second offer, and very gravely said she had always believed it best for girls to wait until they had some sense, before they should choose a companion for life. • Splendid preparations were now melting at the house of Mr. Willis for the necom• mode tion of n large party. Susan's lover had sent to the city to purchase a suit of apparel, which he declared would out ri 1 vat the very sus, itself; he also gave orders to have a maid accompany it, who should be capable of waiting on his soon to•be sew bride in fashionable style. The young pee• pie began to say among themselves—" Miss Willis is about leaving us, and why should we part with unfriendly feelings? 'Tis 1 true she has some faults, and who among us has not? Yet I must confess I always thought her a fia.o girl on the whole, and it is a downright shame that we have se lung reglected her; if is no more than just for us now US make amends for our past conduct." It was, therefore, unanimously agreed upon among the ysung villagers to go, on n par ticular day, and intik° Miss Willis a formal visit—the ladies ir. the afternoon and the gentlemen in the evening. The custom of sending compliments, cards, &c., had not reached this rural hamlet—and so, all of a sudden full fifteen or twenty belles stood at the door. of Mr. 1V illis, knocking for ad• mission. After waiting for the usual sale tation of "come in," the door was suddenly opened and the city beau stood before them. After many ceremonies he init.(); duced them into the parlor, where Mr. Wil lis was siting, and immediately retired.— At the expiration of half an hour ho re turned, with Susan leaning on his arm, who, when She had courtisied very ceremo• niously to the ladies, informed them that she was going to take an airing and would not return until Into in the evening, but her father would entertain them. They all instantly rose without replying, and hurried from the house, each secretly promising herself never again to bestow her attention on one whom she knew to be unworthy of them Mr. Willis was n plain honest man, and did not altogether like the proceedings of the day, but his daughter was old enough to act I; , r herself— as she'nsed to tell him when ho essayed to give her advice. About this time a covered carriage ar rived at the village, and threo strangers alighted from'it.
