In'.he utmost kindness, and with the truest hospitality, they gave their biped companion the middle of the bid ; some lying on cither side of him, nnd others acting'the part ofn quilt. Their warmth prevented him from—being injured by his ex posure. Towards morning he awoke ; finding himself comfortable,In blissful ignorance of Itif whereabouts,' he supftoscd himself enjoy iitg the accommodations of a tavern, in com pany with other gentlem'en.

Partly concealed within the borders of a wood which skirts a scene where a prairie \ Stretched in boundless benuly lies,\ \ is -situated a charming little cottage nestled in shade and seclusion beneath the foliage of overshadowing boughs. On the piazza in front of this dwelling, a veneraijie sucker, named Gordon, was seated one summer af ternoon, building dreams of thrift, as he sur veyed hi3 plantation, enamelled with .heavy «r*p»*?pcning*intc plenty: <>' • 1 Now, as our sweetest dreams are fleetest and quickest to close, it is not strange that his, although-pleasarit, were soon terminated by some one shouting : 'Hallo,old dad.' ' Hallo'yourself, and diskiver how it feels,' he retorted ;. and turning simultaneously with his reply, his eyes fell upon a young man, a stranger to him, leaning on the yard fence. ' Xcus me,' said the stranger ; ' may be I you mought be so clever as to tell a chap who owns that're wheajt field up a-sjde the timber, won't you1 T « Well, I will ; I own it.' ' Dew tell!' s.oid th.e stranger. ' But ain't it mighty cute that you allow four-legged an imals, and sich critters to be in It r But I don't' saiil Gordon.

Santa Anna ! h-c-r-e, h«e-r-e.' His call had the effect to bring forth two answered, stating that he should ever nega< tive\ hi.s daughter's wish to marry any yan- kee, who it appeared was too lazy to work, and hence had resorted to pettifogging. He also instructed Glarissa-tocorneahonwimmes- dlately, under the protection'of an elderly lady and gentleman friends of hie? then about to return from the east. Clarissa was obedr- ent—wept—and obeyed her father. Love, we all lrxibw, is like wine, a mocker. and. sometimes prostrates its victims by mys- terious intoxication.

O Henry, I fear that our hopes will never hange to reaTTiTcs. 1 love you; very, -very much ; but my father dislikes you, merely ecause you are a Yankee lawyer. He is ob stinate and will not consent and the rosy flush fled the lady's cheek. 1 Do not fear, Clarusti,' said Henry L'cslie. I can ond will remove the prejudice. I now haw to work on a -form ; and he does not know me, 1 will hire to him under an as- med name, nnd by the merit of honest worth and virtue, win a place in his affec tions* Their hopes excited, and consequently their anxieties lulled, by the reasonableness of this plan, the two seated themselves on the sofa, and enjoyed those bright, angel-plumed de lights with which a reciprocation of love in spires young hearts. When Gordon return ed, however, he found the young stranger alone ; Clarissa having deemed it prudent to retire at the sound of her Tather's footsteps. Gordon was glad that the stranger had tnr- ried ; he wished to give him a • pealing for he had searched the field over and found no horse.' Now don't blame me, old man, 1 said the yankee, ' for surer than my name is Dick Quirk, I seen a hoss, a dead one in that're very wheat as I kum along.' Oh ! but old Gordon waxed wroth, at thus earning . that he had- been sent to drive a mere skeleton from, his field ; yet the yankee contrived to calm, his ruffled feelings, .and hire himself to the Sucker, to ' dew things,' closing the bargain with the impartial agree ment that they might ' hocus pocus'one nno> ther as much as tKey pleased ; whereupon Gordon tickled his inner-self with the con- bermaid or a laundress when he handles the Tieetiiliewtto^pp^w 'I\* 1 be would make our hero, suffer for all the wrongs he bad endured from yaKlree\ trickery, oven from the time of his buying clock of a Connecticut pedlar, which be said k*ept time backward, down to the. period when the N.

But being gifted with an excellent smack of became charmless. >A*nd within the lapse x>i- a twelvemonth, wc find him at first presented to the reader, disguised under an assumed name, language, and demeanor, entering up on a plan to win his 1 lady love' by the sweat of his brow. Herein was r.pntrpd lhp..nrdeal. testing\the purity of his affection, nnd pro> ring it as pure and clear and untainted as the waters of a mountain spring. He was wil ling ro*1aborIbr bar like ihe Patriarch oare enrd ; to toil, to endure the wring and rack of bone and sinew. Gradually did he win his way into the old man's esteem. On good deeds ho laid TEeTbase, and TmTlded a good character. By his steady application, and his practical skill and ability to labor, he substantiated a reputation for industry ; and from experience, combined with book know ledge, su'perlbrUy 'in-tU«Tmuuiiu .^L^gricul-- ture. In the lotter, Gordon wns particularly indebted to- himjhe^-ack-nowledged-his worth, the plantation too, expressed it legibly. Ne vertheless, I do not know what would have been the result, had not a circumstance oc curred propitious to the lovers. It was this : dnriinn wna vpry unjustly prosecuted by a neighbor. Arriving at court at the time summoned, (it was a justices trial) he found every body there whom he wished to see, but his own lawyer. The justice ^ailowed him to delay the suit to thf farthest limits that tj law admits of but no longer. He would n be heat for a hundred dollars ; yet he knew he could not conduct the suit successfully himself. To a man like him. independent to 'obstinacy, such a situation was mortih ing in hocus pocus each other as much as we pleased..' ' Well, what I was about to say,' continued the bride,' is, that Dick Quirjc .and Henry Leslie are the same person.' -^Zangs-arc^ligbtnjnglVxclaimc^JGorimL.

Gordon during the whole affair bad set with his mouth so wide open that you could ha-ve tossed « pol.-uoe, snffiripntly large for a breakfnst, down his throat without his know ing it, and when they Were riding home, .he said : ' Dick, if you arc a yankee, I don't care ; you ore an all-jofired good feller.' * So I nm,' said Leslie, laughing, ' indeed, whether you tntke me in the field of labor, the court-room, or any other place of business y'ou please, do you know any man superibr to me hereabouts ?' •No I don't.* •And what do you think of my poverty V asked Leslie. ' I think you will exchange it for something better, as you did your blamed Taunton tone, to-day,' answered Gordon. ' Do you consider poverty a disgrace?' con tinued Leslie, ' Well, now, I should'nt think I did.' * Well, sir,' said Leslie, stammering a lit tle, ' inasmuch as you seem, to harbor no sen^ timent concerning my affairs but what favors me, I will be\so bold as t o inform you that there is or mutual attachment existing be tween your daughter and myself, nnd we so licit your consent to our marriage.' Gordon opened his ey-es and mouth again wider than ever, ' She is yours, by jingo,' said tbe fatMtr, after a shoTt pause.
