T4,t cclti ariètttian+ TEE LOVE KNOT. MARIET .4, ' SATTJRDAY, MAY Q, 1863. KY COURTSHIP. lam not a bashful man. Generally speaking, I am fully as confident and forward as most of my sex. I dress well, dance well and sing well ; I don't tread on ladies' dresses when I make my bow; I have not the trick of coloring to the roots of my hair when spoken to. Yet there was one period in my life when all my merits seemed to my own eyes insignificant, and I felt very mod est, not to say bashful. It was when I was in love. Then, sometimes, I did not know vihere to put my hands and feet. Did I mention that in the same hands and feet consists my beauty ? They are both small. Three years ago I fell in love. I did not go into it quietly, weighing my idol's perfections against her defects ; I fell in, head-and ears, two seconds after the introduction. • - "Mr. Haynes, Miss Arnold," said a mutual friend; and to 1 I was despe rately in love. She was a fairy-like Spire, with long brown curls floating over a snowy neck, and shoulders, and falling down on the waist of an enchanting sky blue dress. Her large, dark blue' eyes were full of saucy light, yet how tender and loving they, could look. This I found oat la ter. Of all the provoki!lg, tantalizing.little coquettes that ever , teased the heart of a poor man, Stisy Arnold was the most bewitching. I would pass an evening, with her, and go home certain that one more interview would make me the hap piest of. men ; but the neat time I met her, a cool nod and indifferent glance threw down all my castles; She was very cautions. Not a word •did she drop to make me believe that she love& me ; and yet her hand would linger in mine, her color rose if I looked my feel ings, and her eyes drop to be raised in a moment, fall of laughing defiance. She declared her intention to be an old yield . most emphatically, and in the very next` sentence would add— "I never did love ; but if I should take a fancy to anybody I 'should love him like—like a house on fire. Though," 'she would say carelessly, "I never knew anybody yet worth setting my thoughts upon." I tried a thousand ways to make her betray some interest in myself. Propose outright I could not. She had a way, whenever I tried it, of looking in my face with an air of grave attention and profthand interest that was equivalent in its effects to knocking me down, as it took all the breath out of me. - One evening, while there, being trou bled with a headache, the gipsy, putting on a grave face, gave me a lecture on the subject of health, winding up with— " The best thing you can do is to get a wife to take care of you, and to keep you from overstudy. I advise you to do it if you can get anybody to have you." "Indeed," I said, rather piqued, "there are only too many. I refrain from se lection for fear of breaking other hearts. How fond all the ladies are of me I" I added, conceitedly; "though I can't sue that I am particularly fascinating." "Neither - can I,"_ said Susy, with an air of.perfect simplicity. " Can't 'you ?" said I, " I hoped -hoped.—" Ohl that dreadful attentive face of hers 1 "That is, Miss Susy, I thought—per haps--oh I my bead I my head !" and I turned my face in the cushion. "Does it ache you very badly ?" - She put her cool little', hands 'among my curls. I felt the thrill her fingers gave me all the way to my toes. My head being very painful, I was obliged to leave ; but, all the way home, the soft cool touch of those little fingers lingered upon my brow. Soon after this, it became necessary for me to leave the city on badness.— An offer of a lucrative partnership at a distance, in the office of a lawyer friend of mine, made me decide to extend my trip, and see how the land lay. One thing was certain—l cpttbk not, leave home, for months, perhaps, without some answer from_Susy. Full of hope, T went. to Mr. Arnold's. Spy was at the piano, and alone: She was playing "I've some thing sweet to tell you." At the words "I. love you I , I adore yon I" she gave me inch a glance that _I was ready to prostrate myself; but, sweeping back the curls with 'laughing defiance she warbled— "Bat I'm talking in my elev." "Tien," I cried, - "you loye me when you Bleep. May 7 think so r "Oh ! yea, if . you choose ;' for Rory O'More says dreams go by oontratiep, you know." • I sat down beside her. . " 7 A.h !" I said; iligiting, 4 'Rory's idol dreamed She hated'Jiim." "Yes;" said Susy ; "that was the die-. ferenee between his case and yours." We chatted for a time. At last I began-- "Miss Susy I came up this evening to tell yon that How she was listening I A bright thought struck me. I would tell her of my journey, and in the emotion she was sure to betray it would be easy to de clare my love. "Miss SUBS;" I said, "I , am going to, the west to-morrow." She swept her hands across the keys, of the , piano .into a _stormy polka. tried ta see her face, but her curls fail over it. I was prepared to catch her, if she fainted,, or comfort her if she wept. I listened for the sobs I_ fancied-the mu sic was intended to conceal i i but,,lthrow ; jag back the Curls with a sudden toss, ,she struck the-last chord on the piano, and sai4,_gaily--='• "Goirk away?". "'it es ; for tioine montlig", "Dear m how distressing ! Stop at Bessoa4, and oitlgr me some extra pocki3t handkerchiefs for the melancholy occasion, will you?" "Yon do not seem to require them," I saidr rather piqued: "I shall stay some montlis.", "Well, write to pa, won't you ? And if you get married, or die, or anything, please let as know.P "I have. an offer to be a partner in a law office; in the west," I said, determin ed to -try her, "and if I accept it. as I have some thoughts of doing, I will nev er return." .‘ `.Her face did not change. The old saucy look was there as I spoke ; but noticed tliatp one little hand closed con vulsively over her watch chain, and, the other fell upon the keys, making for the first time a dispord. ' • "Going ailly fornvor she said'aittv a sad ions, that made ray heart •thrOb: "Miss -Shay, 'I hoped you, at `least' would miss me, and sorrow in my ab sence." She opened her eyes with an expres• sion of profound amazement. “1- "Yes, it might change all my plans, if my absence would grieve you." "Change all your pjans ?" "Yes„.l hoped . —l thought—" Oh ! that. earnest, grave - face. My cheeks burned, my bands and feet seem ed to swell, and I felt cold = chills all over, me. I could not go on. I broke down for the third time. There was an awkward silence. I glanced at Susy. Her eyes were rest ing on my hand, which lay, on the arm of the sofa. The contrast between, the black horsehair and the7"fiesh seemed strike her. " What a- pretty little hand !" she said. • - A - most brilliant idea now passed through my brain.' mYou may have.it if you will," said 1I; offering it to her. She took it between her own hands, and, toying with the fingers, said— " May I ?" "Yes, if--if you will give nAis this one," and I raised her beautiful hand to my lips. She looked into my face. What she read there I cannot"say ; but if ever eyes tried tQtalk, mine did. Her color rose, the white lids felt over the glori ous eyes, and the tiny 'hand struggled to free itself from my grasp. Was I fool enough to release it? What I said I know not ; but I- dare say my wife can tell you. Five minutes later, my arm encircled the blue dress, the -brown curls fell upon my breast, any my.lips were in- contact with an other pair.- PRINS PURE, FRESH WATEIL—Set Pitcher of water in a room,'and in a few hours it will have absorbed nearly all the respired and perspired gas in the room, the.* of which will have beconie purer . , but tke water utterly filthy, The' colder the Water isitie greater' its ca pacity to contain these gasses. • At or dinary temperatures; one pint of water will contain one of carbonic add gas, and - several pints of ammonia: The ca pacity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to the temperature to that of ice, Hence water, kept in 'a room for awhile is always unfit for use.

It is better to go to sleep on the right side, for the stomach is very, much in the position of a bottle turned upside down, and the contents of it are aided in piAssing out by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the left side the oper ation of omptying, the stomach of its contents is more like drawing water from a well. After going to sleep let the body take its own position. If you sleep on year back, especially soon af ter a hearty meal; •the weight of the di gestive _organs, and that of the food resting on the great vein of the body 'near the backbone,. ! ,compresses it,.and arrests the flow of blood, more or less. If the arrest is partial the sleep. is did turbed, and there are.ungleasant dreams. If the meal has beep recent and hearty the.arrest ie more decided; and thp va rious sensations, such as falling over a precipice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, -Or other impending danger, and the des perate effort to get rid of it, arouses us, and sends on the stagnating blood ; and We wake in a fright, or trembling or perspiration, or feeling ; exhaustion, ac cording..to the degree of stagnation, and the length and strength of the efforts made to escape the danger. Int, when we are not able-to escape the danger— when we do fall over the precipice— when the tumbling-building crushes us —what then ? 'That's death ! That is the death of of those of whom it, is said, when found lifeless in the morn ing—" That, they . ,were as. well as they ever were the day before," and often it is added; "and ate heartitr than com mon I" This last is a frequent cause of death to those, who have gone to bed to wake no more, we give merely as a pri ..vate opinion. The possibility of its truth is enough to deter any rational man, from a late and and hearty meal.— This we do know with certainty, that waking . up in the night with painful diarrhce, or cholera, or billions cholic ending in death in a very short time, is properly traceable to a late large meal. The truly wise will take the safe side.— Fe persons who eat,three times, a day, it is amply sufficient to make the last meal of cold bread and butter and a cup of some warm drink. No one can starve on it; while a perseverence the habit soon begets a vigorous ap petite for breakfast so promising of a day of comeort. A WIDOWS GENTLEMAN•VICTIM London paper gives the following affec ting particulars of an affair ;—"A tall, aristocratic-looking, handsome man, with moustache-shaded lip, and very glossy, -luxuriant hair,- but who had a very weak voice, made In affecting application - to the Clerkenwell police magistrate on.

He ;took an early opportunity to declare' his love, and, he was sorry to say, was' accepted. He purchased for her several presents, lent her money, and at her request also purchased Say eral articles of furniture, which he gave to hti.and had even gone so far as to pay' money for putting up the banns.

A young couple had passed the first few , weeks of their marriage at the house of _a friend. Having at length occupied their new home, they were taking their first breakfast, when the following scene took place : The .young husband was innocently opening a , boiled egg in a cup. The bride observed that he was breaking the shell at what she thought the wrong end.— "How strange it looks," said she, "to see you break your egg at the small end my dear ! No one else does so ; and it looks so odd." " 1 0h, T think it is quite as good, in fact, better than breaking it at the large end, my love; for when you break the large end the egg runs over the top," replied the husband. "But it looks very odd when no one else does So," rejoined the wife. "Well, no*, I really do think it is a nice way you have get of eating an egg. That dipping strips of bread anti butter into an egg certainly is not tidy. But I do not object to your doing as you please, if you will not let me break my egg at the small end," retorted the hus band. "I am sure my way is not quite as bad as eating fruit-pie with a knife, as you do, instead of using a. fork : and you al mays eat the syrup, as if you were not accustomed to.have such thing. You really do not see how very bad it looks or I am sure, you would not do so," ad ded the wife. ' "The syrup is made to be eaten with the pie ; and why should I send it away on the plate ?" asked the husband. "No - well-bread persons ever clear their plates as if they were starved," said the bride, with a contemptous cast of her-head.- "Well, then, I am not a well-bred per son," replied the husband angrily. "But you must be, if we are to live comfortably together," was the. sharp answer of fastidious lady. s , • "Well , I must bract% my ,egg at the smail-end, so it does not signify ; and must also eat the syrup.", '.'Then I will not haie neither fruit pie or eggs at the, table." "But have them ; " petulantly exclaimed the husband. "Then I wish I had not been married to you," cried the young wife, bursting into tears._ "And so do I," added the now incens ed husband, as he rose and walked out of the room. This domestic quarrel was followed by others equally trifling in.their origin, and disgraceful in their character, until 9ie silly couple made themselves so Os , agreeable to each other that-their home became unendurable, and they. sepera te,d.
