Some years ago, when I was a single man and dreaming (as some single men do) of doable bliss yet destined to arrive, I went to a concert at Musical Hall, Bos- ton. Music is, poetically and proverbi-i ally, \ the food of lovo,\ and in _y sen- timental state I consumed a good deal of it; not that I tad any object in view.— Mine was abstract love ; I cultivated it, rSncreascd my slock, so thaS I.might have a good deal of the tendor pitsslbn on-hand-, whenever I sajv an eligible op- portunity of iuTCSting it. Well, to re- turn to the concert; it was crowded to excess, and tha rush, ou leayiug, to reach hats and carriages, -was very great. I wore on that memorable night a blue coat with brass buttons,, au3 I flattered < myself there were worse looking men in ; the room. I tell, you candidly 1 admired; luyguir, and -irc-xtr io~myscir, itiu uiu>--i party I was most struck with was a fine girl, with dark eyes and black hair; who sat with some young friojD^sa few forms distant. I hoped she not^lpuie and niy blue coat, with brass buttons.. I looked at her often enough to attract her atten- tion to both ; and being,.— my friends would say, in father a spoonty state, worked myself, in a towering passion— of love. But how was I to come at the ob- ject of my admiration, for 1 was as diffi- dent as devoted—\as shy us I was vain\ as an over-candid- friend once uakl.— \Hail Columbia,\ which concluded the concert, surprised me, as unprepared as on my first glance to \ Improve the oc- casion,\ and the company' were shoaling, out, while 1 stood mutely gsping after the object of my love at first sight. She and .her party eddied for a while by the inner door of the concert room, and were then drawn out into the retiring current, and lost to sight. I followed quickly after, lest I should lose forever all opportunity of indenti. fying my idol; but, tolas! the lights in the outer corridor were few and so far between, that \ no glimpse of my star could I get.\ I pushed and elbowed fierce- ly through tho crowd, with a view of get- ting to tho outer door before my fair one's party had emerged, and thus gaining once more a sight of my sweeting. \ Hang it!\ I muttered, impatiently, as I felt a tug at uiy coat-skirt, and was instantly conscious^of.one of my buttons having 1 hitched to sbme lAdy's dress; my progress was suddenly arrested. \ How provoking,\ —ought I, as I was brought to a Btaud, for I could not push on with- out loosing a button or' tearing a dress; \ how provoking _o modern fashions; a lady about her appeared as a sea anem- one.?' It was was with some irritation I stopped to undo the button, but my hur- ry mado my task more difficult, and in- stead Of undoing, I only bungled: and more twisted tho loop round the button. \Pleaso to let mo try,\ said the lady herself, as I bungled over the business-; she\'ungloved' fi¥r*'Kan\d^;jt was'Vsweet little hand; so ribpked}it her face.— Stars and garters 1 but it was tho very jairpne, black hair and dark eyes I Was in pursuit of. A s tho stooped over the entangled button, a slight flash tiated-hcr check. Oh, it«was; delicious. I hoped •he neyet would undo the loop; and ( in- d«id, she would not.'forlier.ingors wew ; twitching nervously, and my heart was. beating audibly, I tricd.to,help;hor; our fingers met. • , \ Elease to make way there,\ shoutei a gruff, vojco* behind. We WOW block- ing up the passage ; i^as thQre,.ovor..6ucU, »n x .piuckjr spot for so lucky an cntaoglo- inentcr. . , i. •;:*,. \ You hinder, ti e people from going. out,.Amie;V exclaiin'od ouo of her com- panions with.pome asperity,\plag^uo up- on the loop break.it !\ and suiting the action to tho word, the speaker loaned forward, caught the sleeve of her beauti- ful, friend's dress in one hand, and iny coat tail in the Other, and giving a quick and decided tug,' sevred its. The crowd behind bore on, and we were separated; not however, before I giive my \sVaf\ a loofc whioh I intended to speak voluincs. I thought she did not soem unconscious of riiy meaning—oxir eyes met, I know, nad this was the only consolation left me, for immediatoly afterwards I lost'Iter and her party to view in the darkness out- side. GIIAPTBR H. IIOW THE COURSE OP THE TROE L0VK DID NOT RUN SMOOTH; That night I hardily closed niy eyes^ thinking cf my \ bright particular stari\ and what. mc'utl I should employ to find hcrout. I kncwlittle of the town, which has a large one, and to expect to\ know the name of iny fair ono by a mere des? •cription WAS hopeless; tliece doubtless must be a great.Esraviy with .dark eyes, and black hair within \ bills of mortality\ there, as elsewhere. My love, fit grew more and more vio- ; lent lia the course of the day ; but tired out at length with' my search, I returned tp the hotel, and took out my dress-coat from iny. portmanteau to feed my fianio even with tho contemplation Of the inani- mate business button- that -had detained the. \ black-eyed, divinity\ so long. It was with no little 'delight I discovered what did not before catch my eye—a frag- ment of the siik loop of her dress still ad- hered to the button, twisted round the shank. I pressed it-to my lips ; it was li- lac in color—and stopped to gently disen- tangle it from tho bit of brass as gently as though it *ere a tress of my loved one's hair; when something eliuked in the. skirt pocket. I supposed I had felt some money there, for in my perturbation and excitement I omitted to search the coat on taking it off the night boforo.— I thrust my hand into iny pocket. Gra- cious me! What did I bcioId, what did I ta\_! oiit—a gold chain bracelet! You could have \brained\ mo with my lady's fan. I saw at a glance how matters stood—in tho excitement and flurry <f undoing tho loop from my but- ton, the lady had uudone the clasp of her own bracelet, which had not unnaturally- fell into the cOat-skirt with which she was entangled, and doubtless, on missing it, instead of regarding mo in. a romantic light; she put it down that I was one of the swell mob, and had purposely entan- gled myself in her dress to rob her of herjewclrj. Here was an antic-heroic position to find one's self, when I wished to bo con- sidered the most devoted of knights, to be remembered only as the most expert of pickpockets. W'43 ever an honest lover in such a plight? and to make it wor^e, I could not see how I was to escape from this inevitable dilcinma,.I must go down to the gravo remembered only in that dear one's mind as the nefarious purloincr of her bracelet. To find her out was impos- sible ; but a bright idea struck me, as my eyes lighted on a newspaper lying on the coffee-room table. I rang the bell, and inquired of the waiter when the lo- cal, paper was published. \To morrow, sir,\ he answered. I sat down andwroio an advertiscmnt; it was iu the following words: , \ I f the lady,, whoso dress got entan- gled in a gentleman's coat button, in leav- ing the?concert last'Wednesday, will call at) or send to the Tremont Hotel, she will hear somethiag to her advantge.\ There I thought, as I gave tho adver- tisement to the boy, and five shillings tp pay. for insertion in theiTravoller, there, if that will not give mo a oluo to escape from a very unpleasant dilemma, and at themme titao to know who my enchanter ia! the fates must indeed' be \ very u»pro- .pitTous.' \ ' ' \.- % plans being thus so far adopted, I . ordered \dinner; and waited\ patiently | Or rather impatiently, the appearance of the newspaper next mOrruftg. It was brought ijp to my rOOm damp fronr'tho press, and then I redi. in all the glqry Of large'typev niy interesting announcement, But, iny stars.! with Jirhat.au advertisement was it followed lii the very same column. I o'nly wonder that iny hair did not stand on end, as % read as follows: t ' _, ilhfiREWARD.-^Lbst or stolon, on the «p4ni\glit of the Oon'cort, af;the Hall, a GojjlGliaiu Bracelet. It is thought to havo l»en \taken froui the lady's' arm by a pick- pocket,\ of gentleuinnly appearance, who wore a blue coat with brass .buttons, and kept near the lady ou her leaving the hall. -Any oiie giving such iuforniatioh as will lead to the recovery of the braoelof, or the capture of the thief, (if, it was stolon,) will receive the above reward, on applying to jfd.' 7 Cambridge Place.\ CHAPTER III. , THE END OP IT. Here was a pretty plight—to bo nd ; vertised in jhe public papers as a nick- pocket, when my only crime was | like Othello's that of \Loving not widely, liut tod well.\ - My dateTcainatioh, however, was o/iack- ly actepied. I went up stairs, put on tho very indehtieal delinquent blue coat, so accurately described, and, taking the pa- pier in my hand; proceeded to No. 7 Cambridgn Plaic-. I knocked at the door, asked -therser- vant-who,answered the namo.of the final- ly;. Having hoard if, I said—\Is Miss Raymond in?\ s \ Yes, sir,\ replied the servsnl woman) \whoshall I say wants her,?\ '* Tell her,\ ;I replied, \ that the piofc •puckot, with a.gentlemanly address, and blue coat, with brass buttons, who stole her bracelet, is here and wishes to return ittoher.\ \ The woman sl-_od at mc as iiougli 1\ were mad, but on repeating iny request to her, she went and delivered my niess- age. Soon there came out, not my fair one, \ With all that's bcst;of dru-lcand bright, Meeting in aspect and eye,\ but a stalwart brother. \ That,\ I said, handittghiui tho bracer let, \ is Miss Raymond's property; and though, as you perceive, I wear a blue coat, with brass buttons, and am flattered to think my manners are not ungentle- manly, I am bound in candor to say, I am not a pickpoctet.\ \ Then, sir, you shall have tho reward,\ said the brother, taking out his purso. \ So\ I replied, \forstrango.as.itmay appear, though I asi not a pickpocket, I stole the lady's bracelet.\ Tho man looked puzzled; but when I told the truth, and pointed to the adver- tisement in the same paper, as a proof Jjdid not want to walk off with the property; he laughed heartily at the whole story, and not tho least at his sister's description of the gentlemanly pickpocket. \ Well,\ he said, \ you had better walk in and have tea with us, and my Bister will bo able to say whether sho can speak to your indonfity, after which it will be time enough to canvass the propriety or sending for a constable.\ You may be assured I accepted tho in- vitation. Need I go further with the sto- ry. The young lady (to use the words of the, advertisement) captured the pick- pocket. The bachelor's button no longer adorns niy blue coat, and I now have framed and glazed over the fireplace, the advertisement in which! am-publicly des- cribed by myown wife \ apickpocket with * gentlemanly address.\ When I charge her with the libel, she always doeB -what sho has just this moment done, pay dam- ages for tho slander in any amount of kisses, declaring, though not a pickpocket I was a thief, and stole her heart' and pocketed her bracelet. '\So ends iho story of \A BAMI—OH'S BUTTON.\* Anecdote of a Fat Man. IB?-It would be better if young ladies would encorago young men moro on ac- count of their good characters thnn their goodoiothes. A good reputation is be fc ter capital than a fine coat in almost any kind of business, except wooing a fash- ionable lady, * \Bridget said a lady in tho city of Gotham, one rooming as sjie was reoon- noitcring. in. her kitchen, to her servant} \ what a quantity of. soap grccse yOu have got there. We can get plenty of soap for it, aud jro jnust^oxohange it for some. Wajch foe tho/o< man, and when he conies along, tell him I want to speak to him.\ \ Yes roajam.f says Bridget, betwoofi etch whisk of her, dishcloth, keeping a bright look out of tho, kitchen window, and no moving creature escaped her watchful gaze. At last her industry seemed to bo .rewarded,; for down tho street eainc a portly gentleman flourish- ing a cane, and looking the picture of good humor. -Sure,.thathe.was the man, when ho was in front of .tho house, out she flew ] and informed him that her mis- tress wished to speak to him. \ Speak tome, iny good girl?\asked tho g_tlehiah. t \ Yes, sir, mistress wants to speak to you, and says would you. bo good enough to walk iu?\ This request, so direct, Was not to ho refused,' so, in a state of wonderment, up th§ 'steps wont the gentleman, and up stair's wont Bridget, and knocking at her 1 mistress' doorj put her head in and ex- claimed: \ Eat gentleman's in tho parlor ma'ahi.\ So saying she instantly de- scended tcroic lower region\. \ In the parlor?\ thought the lady.— \ What can it lheani . -Bridget must have blundcrad;\ but down to the parlor she went, and up rose our fat friend with his blandest smile and most grticefulbow. \ Your servant informed mo, madam, that you would like to speak to hie—at your sorviBe madani.\ '• Themortified mistress saw the state Of tho case immediately, rinda smile wreath- ed itself about her mouth in spite of'her- sett, ana she said : \ Will you pardon the blunder of a raw Irish girl, m y dear sir? I told her to call in the fat man to take away the soap grceso, when she made a mistake you soe. Tho jolly fat gentleman leaned back in his chair, and laughed such a hearty laugh as never came front your loan gentry. \ No apologies needed madam,\ said ho, it is decidedly the best joke of the sea- son. Ha, ha, ha; so sho took me for the. soap-grease man, did sho? It will keep me laughing for mouths, such a good joke! And all up tho street and around tho. corner was heard the merry laugh of tho old gentleman, as he brought down his cane every now and then, and exclaimed, such a joke!~ * Buying Goods Asleep. A fat descendant of one of the old Dutoh burghers of this goodly city, was a While ago attending an auction sale.—' Everybody knows that at these sales a nod is taken for a bid. Very soon after the sale commenced, the Dutch Merchant, who sat up late at a row-de-dow tho night before, fell into a comfortable snoosc; ii. which condition, as people arc apt to do who sit and sleep, ho kept \Kid nod'nodding.\ Tho auctioneer, supposing he was buying goods all the while, knockod'dOWn several thousand dollars' worth in his name, Tho sale was closed, and the Dutchman, unconscious of having made any purchases, rubbed his eyes and re turned home. It may bo supposed then, that ho was prodigionsly astonished the next morning, when a bill of goods as long as hisarm, purporting'to have been purchased: ;by him the -day-beforoj was sent to him. , .*, . \ Herd's a bill of your gtfods, sir,\ said the Mercury of 1;he \yard-stick. \Mincgoots?\ exclaimed the Duthman, \watgoots?\ , t \ Why,, the good? you purchased yes- terday atauction,\ \ Mine Gotfr! I buy no goots yesterday. I attend asalo to be cure, hut did not pid.\ : • \Not bid! ho* e&scs-it;thoui that the goods were struek down to you!\ 1 \Mino gracious! nowTtiuks how it wa's^rgets\ ashlcop, and\ while'I, *££&» noddin,. the auctioneer made do mistake,\ gffir Gumbo, Who^^ was a negro, had witnessed tho ravages of tho cholera in in 1832 with atoie indifference, but see. iiig.his ibi—tifMeiidsTSrOpping SF.'iby _£ ens, in negro .valley,-'Gumbo began to hayo some fuars of giving, the Inst kick himself, in\ very much the stylo ho was wont \fro dat brickbat\iu.arow.

What a fearful thing would mar* riage with such an extravagant little crea- ture be for a young man on a small salary! SHORT SEKSIONS.—Whiteliold is re- ported to have said that a man with tho eloquence of an angel, ought not to ex- ceed forty minutes in the length of a Ser- mon, and it is well known that Wesley seldom excceded thirty. \ I have almost always found,\ says another eminent preacher, \ that the last fifteen minutes of a sermon an hour in length, was worse than lust, both upon tho speaker and tho congregation.\ Qff^ Tho less legacies you leave your children the more they will have twenty years afterwards.
