Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1841-10-16

| Miss Wleland, with the eftem!nate owner
reclining in one corner Of the carriage,
from whose person thousand perfumes
exhalcd TO the contamination Of the bland
brcezes of a beautiful June morning. at the
same moment Hannah affectedy told the
servant that her mistress would be with Mr.
Ffzstyaddp Immediately.
Heartbright and Douglas looked at each
other. and burst into an immediate fit of
laughter and descending to the pavement,
Arthur parodying the lines of Pope repeat
ed as follows:
Wealth makes the man. The want Of IL the fellow,
The rest is but all leather md prune'ln"-
and together they proceeded up the crowd !
ed pathway Of Broadway.
| 'Confound that piano. exclaimed Doug
las. 'it has given me something to remem-
Der her for this month to come
Better to remember her for a month than
to have her for life time said Arthur,
gaily, but your brow shows tokens of dis
colourment, and luckily here is my resi-
dence; will you do me the favor to enter?"
Douglass felt his pride. at this generous
offer, humbled, and all luminosity to Arthur
to vanish. 1t is singular how calamity
makes acquaintance; how the heart cngs
to brother in misfortune. It's a beauti-
full principle implanted in our natures by
the all-wise Creator, to make us know the
heplessness of our condition, by showing
how truly dependent we are upon each 9TH
er. Douglas bowed and thanked him kind
Iy, and entering the dwelling. in few min
utes our two heroes were snug y seated to-
gether.
! A miniature case lay upon the table, part
" open, and as Douglas seated himself, he
| RECOGNIZED the limned features of Miss
Wieland, which, IIeartbright perceiving, re-
marked. you sec have a copy of your la
DIV love, hope you are not otIended-and
he placed the miniature in the hands of
Douglas.
.Bv no Means replied Douglas, placing
it upon the table, as if it had scorched his
| fingers, 'bv no means; most willingly con-
cede to you the pre- ference. Pray when do
YOU hope to possess the originate
when there is not another woman to be
had in the world
At that moment loud crash, followed by
the scream of female, burst upon their
ear. They rushed to the WINDOW. and beheld
lady and gentleman tumbIcd from the car
riage by the breakagc of the axe. and COM
petclv covered with the thick black mud of
Broadway.
Heavens cried Douglas, it is Miss Vie
land
And Mr.. Fitzfaddle Also added Heart
bright, laughing, and they raised the win
dow and looked cxuItingly upon the scene,
as it was apparent that fright was the only
suffering which the lady experienced.
AS there was no store in the neighbour
hood, the coachman knocked at the door Of
Heartbright, and requested permission for
his master ard Miss Wieland to onter.-
Fitzladdle and our heroine knew not it was
the residence of Arthur. and it may easily
be imagined that the feelings of the unlucky
pair were not soothed when they were re-
ceivcd by him at the door. He expressed
his regret at the accident, and hoped they
country ercarSioR;' and conducting the lady
to an apartment, he was followed by Filz-
PADDLE, minus his hat and part of his coat,
and entirely covered with the delectable
mud of Broadway. Douglas, who had
met the unfortunate couple at the door
with Arthur, followed, enjoying their ca
ilamity, and almost unable to restrain his
merrmrnt from breaking forth into burst
of laughter. but neither Fitzfaddlc nor Miss
Weand had, as yet, perceived him, and ii
was only when they had reached the apart
ment, that the lady, almost aghast, in a
voice Of shame and confusion faintingIy ex-
claimed Ca! Mr.. Douglas? and she looked
unutterab!e things.
He bowed politely. and Arthur having
again extended to them the hospitality of the
house, took the arm Of Douglas, saying,
5 Come Douglas, shall we proceed to the ex-
hbiton?' Douglas bowed assent, and they
Quilted the sufferers. A fresh carriage was
soon procured, and the lady and gentleman
were conveyed to their respective dwell
ings.
, Fifteen years after this, two splendid
. mansions rose in Broadway, not far from
r the scene Of Fitzfaddlc's disaster. On their
doors were inscribed the names Of Douglas
and Hearbright: they were the mansions
of our young friends, who, singular to re-
late, had, on that very day which we have
|, chosen for the time of our story. at the eX-
. hibition, become acquainted with two beau
tifu and wealthy sisters. Love soon fol-
= lowed, and marriage was the sequal. A
young and lovely family had blessed their
unions; happiness and contontmont reigned
: in their bosoms, and our two rivals were
; now not only in name, but in affection, bro
Tiers.
. Miss Wieland still lives in single blessed
ness, but suitors, like angels visits, are few
