THE FIRST OFFER.
by MISS WINCHESTER.

Susan Willis was sprghtly cherry
checked girl of seventeen, when she
nlado her conquest Edward Littleton
loved her with all the sincerity ofa young
and ardent soul, and made her honorable
proposals-she was pleased with his pre-
ference, allowed his visits, because she
loved to be admired, and walked and
rode with him to show the world that she
had made q conquest; but when, after
having frequently urged her on the sub
ject of marriage, he told her he would
have decided answer, she laughed and
told him she hoped he did not think that
one so young and so much admired as
herself would become the wife of a poor
mechanic.-IIe blushed deeply, then
fixing his eyes on her face with de-
termined look, he asked her if she was in
earnest. Never more so,' she carelessly
replied. continued he, you
ought to have said so before; why have
you received my attentions SO long and
by your conduct taught inc to hope my
warm affection was reciprocatedp Hal
you trust every smile then!' she sneer-
ingly replied. Edward felt his heart
breaking, and after wishing her long
and happy life, he hurried from her pre-
sence. He had no sooner left her than
he felt himself released from dangerous
snare, he consoled himself by rejecting
that she was unworthy Of his love, and
he was not altogether so unhappy as he
had expected to be. He applied himself
closely TO business, and in the course Of
a few months married an amiable young
lady, who brought not only much per-
sonal worth, but also handsome estate
In the meantime Susan, proud of her
conquest, and dreaming herself as much
admired by all as sho had been by the
faithful Edward, thought herself entitled
to select such husband as she should
prefer from among the village boaux
but her vanity soon became obvious to
every ono and the young men were so
disguised with her airs Of coquetry that
they all forsook her, and VI was also
known that she bad i'll treated Edward
Littleton, and as he was beloved by all
for his steady and aunable disposition,

by the judgments Of heaven, for her treat
lncnt of the faithful Edward, she had
loved him, and had not her pride and
love Of admiration been so great, she
certainly would have married him in pre-
ference to all the world beside.
Her mind was occupied with these
thoughts one day, when who should enter
the parlor but Edward himself.
A faint ray of hope crossed her bosom
at the sight Of him, but when she remcm-
bercd the scenes that had occurred sine O
she there last parted with him, she burst
into n flood Of tears. He approached d
and seated himself near her, enquired in
voice not Of reproach but kindly how
she had enjoyed herself since they last
conversed together. She freely conCcs-
sed all her folly, and acknowledged that
she felt deeply condemned for her con-
duct towards himself. Then answered
he with bitter smile you have learned
that the sincere affection Of poor me-
chanic is not to be despised.' His words
cut her to the heart, and she entreated
him to forbcar. Il have ever prayed for
your happiness, Susan he said looking
in her face with an expression Of tender
ness that induced her for a moment to
believe he would forget her faults, and
his former affections would return; but
when the hearts ferment, hope, has been
blighted, when it has been broken, and
its best and most intense feelings sudden
ly made wretchcd, it is like blasted
tree: scared with the lightning Of heav-
en-, which can never again be vcrdant.
Edward felt sensible of this, and altho'
he could freely pity and forgive the re-
pcnting fair one, he never could love or
trust her more. After giving her some
salutary advice, he left her to the bitter
reflection, that it is easier to lose than to
gain lover. Some months after, he
married again, and his second choice
was in no way inferior to the first. Poor
Susan's cup of disappointment was now
full, for she had all along secretcly i'll
dulged the hope that she should yet win
him back to her love.
She lived u solitary being in her faith
cr's house, until she had gained the hope
less age of thirty-Gve, when rather than
bear the stigma Of an old-inaid she mar
ricd widower without fortune, good ma
ture or anything else to recommend him,
except an ugly person, and large fam
lily Of small children. 1t was now that
the unhappy Susan began to feel in re-
ality the consequence Of her first errors.
Poverty and tho unkindness of hor hus-
band were not among the least Of her
sorrows, yet she sometimes thought if she
could forget the past she should be COM
paratively happy: Frequently when the
carriage Of Edward Li:tleton passed
would she retire and weep, until the ia
cultcs Of lifo seemed almost suspended.
AT length she left her husband and
returned to her fathers house, where she
passed the remainder of her days. Ever
after when conversing with young girls
Oh the subject Of matrimony she would
say to them with heavy 81 Oh, "Look
well to your first Offer"
