and when the Conscious Lover" appeared d'a-
logSe som ething similar to this, took place:


and the interest Of the character give these people
great advantage you know, Louisa"
"Yes-but he's SO handsome, you know--such
fne figme-besides he performs with such animation.
Don'tyou think he very much resembles Mrs. Butler?
his eyes, am sure, are very much like hers"
"vsfy likely, my dear-but you seem quite smittea
with the young man-if you gaze on him SO, you Will
attract the attention of the house to YOU There,
Louisa, do declare that Miss -, Of Cape Look
out. has been gazing yos, for the last five minutes;
and now she's whispering to her sister, and they are
both laughing and noddiag very significantly"
No disclosure took place this evenng-mamma like
King Richard, was "not in the veln" and therefore
the awful aseu had to be deferred till more fitting
season.
Next day. at two O'clock the fashionable hour for
the loangers and deseupres, and shortly after re-
hearsa the maiden wife was seated at the window of
her worthy fathers mansion up Broadway, gazing
with eyes that had "no speculation IN them, at
the mustachloed beaux and kid glovsd merreilleaI,
who paraded the sunny side of that delightful pro-
menade. Her careful mother was by her side, look
ing with disappearing eyes, upon the empty-pocketed
and branoss tops who hultered by, when who should
pass bat the Identical youth who had gained her heart
and won her hand
sob dear! mamma, you must admit that my ia
vorlte, Mr.. -, looks better today than any of the
gentlemen who have passed the window; how well
he looks, and how tastefuly he dresses"
Really, Louisa it is very ndecorous for young
lady to speak of gentleman as her favorlte! and
il is not delicate TO notice the dress Of the other
SEX Ii shows that you take an interest in them that
is not laeylke."
"Who should take an interest in, then ii not in
my own husband?" said the young lady quickly, as if
in hurry to get through the confession, and scarcely
trusting the sound of her voice.
"What! who? husband whose husbandP'
"Mlne-mamma-I was married TO Mr.. - last
night"
No reply was made by the elderly lady, whofanted
outright at the astounding intelligence so suddenly
impaired But mothers are placabe creatures and il is
sound philosophy make the best of what cannot be
rcmeded-lepius. fit pstentia is save for many
grievance will get married, and respectable
actor is better any day than equivocal count. In
every accident there is always room for consolation
in the reflection that it might have been worse; and
when young ladies take into their heads dispose of
themselves the parents should thank their stars that
they do not throw themselves away altogether, by
mesaihanse with od-loekng fooman,er a smooth
tongued and bushy -whiskered varet, recently i'm
ported from foreign parts. So, in the present case
there nothing particular TO fret about but the un-
iutifulness of taking such important STEP without
mature elaboration, and previous consent asked and
obtained.
The business was soon settled with mamma; but
the breaking Of the subject 10 papa was more Sc
rious matter. "Faihers have iinty hearts, no tears
can move them,"-and when they are not sceous,
-
They do not eok upon youthful acts and thoughts
with the eyes of yoa,h; they forget that they once
were young and form their plans with respect to
the disposal of their children. They naturally
grumblers--and il must be confessed that
Its hard although common case,
To find u children running restive-hey
L. whom our brightest days we weuld re'raee,
Our little selves reformed in finer clay,
Just old age is creeping space,
And clouds come DER The sunset o. our day,
They kindly leave u.s. though not quite alone,
But in good company-the govt or stone.
When parea,s are kind and liberal, they think that
they have done all that can be expected of Them and
10 not reflect upon the growth of the passions stimuli
taneous with that Of the stature, and the wishes Of
yosth with the development Of the system. They
think tina, all is right when they do not any thing

How the disclosure was effected, and the father
pacifed we know not all that has ranspred it, that
when the young husband was just the point Of GO
ing on the scene that evening, with tin pot on his
head and the other paraphernalia Of his calling, he
was called aside by the father Of his bride, who told
him that he knew of the match, and in consequence
could not permit near relative to tread the boards
any longer. An arrangement was concluded with
the manager for the broken articles, and the happy
couple started for Philadelphia, to spend the honey
moon with "my daughter Fanny" who recognised
the accustomed luck Of her family in this instance
oft. On their return, grand party and ball will be
given to commemorate this union and 20 introduce
the bridegroom into "good society," as il is emphat
cally termed and OF which we shall give some p-
guam, details in few days.
