great improvement this in the wedding
toilet.
Now this last glove brings US to the lost
glove of Theodore AIonZo Grimes. Theo-
dore AIonzo was walking advertisement,
placarded from head to foot with the latest
fashions. His beard was of the newest cut,
his moustache the same-his gloves, he
prided himself on their being faultIess!
A secret, dear reader-Theodore Alonzo
was foriune-hun,er
Emily Stanton was one Of those rogush,
mIschlevous lmps, who are continually fit
ting about brimfu! of merriment; teasing, al.
times almost annoying, but with whom YOU
cannot get angry, for the life of you. You
begin lecture on the prophecies of conduct,
advance quite gravely, and, as you think,
most convncing'y-you lookup to see the
effect produced by your admonilion-Emi-
]. ly's sparkling black eye meets yours-there
is no resisting the mir,hful contaglon, and
your grave lecture ends at last in laughing
chorus. Emily had quick perception of
the ridiculous, which if it had not been un-
der the control of native good sense, and
kindness Of heart, might have surrounded
her with enemies but she never INDUCED
in display Of wit that could wound the
! feelings of her friends, and was only tempt
ed overmuch when she met with Theo-
dore Alonzo.
There's a very pretty girl said Theo-
dore to a companion, as he evelled his glass
at lady, who had just taken her seat at HE
opera; i wonder il she is married > This
was always the first question asked by our
hero when lady attracted his attention :;
the second invariably was is she rich =
These two points settled, Theodore Alonzo
either went in pursuit or turned away with
Indifference. On this night he was raised
to the seventh heaven by receiving sa,isiac-
tory answers to both questions, and by an
introduction to the lady. Emily knew his
| character, and in spite 0: the ominious
looks of the gentleman who accompanied
her, fell into little, graceful filtration with
the dandy.
Never was man on better terms with
himself than was Theodore Alonzo, when
he stopped in al Florence'S, on the way 10
his lodgings. If Fowler had laid his fingers
that light on the organ Of seil-es,eem, he
would assuredly have found it growing be-
meath his touch.
Heavens! how fortunately that Won knew
the lady, Wal.on,' said the excited THEODORE,
addressing the young man who had intro
duced i'm 10 Miss. Stanton. Sixty thou
sand, tn ink you said-pity it is Mt hun
bred !-ho wever, sixty is not so bad. lsay.
Walton, here's 10 the pretty heress.'
.Butare you not too has,y III your con-
clusons:' said Walton, why, man, you
have lust om.nenced s,orming the out
works, aud already you count on a surren

There is an old saving, which keep
constantly in mind, my dear fellow, it is
this Faint heart never won fair lady,
say, Walton, if you could accommodate
me with small loan for week or two.
until ! get the money which | told you
should receive from the sale Of my land IN
Texas, matters might go on more smoothly.
Oh. while think of it-what is the name
of that plain looking girl who sat beside
Miss Stanton paid SO little attention
when YOU introduced me, that did not hear
what you called her.
Her name is Langsing, she is cousin to
Miss S,anton.'
a poor relation no doubt, you might see
that in her quiet iimid manner. Does SIZE
live with her cousin:'
She STAYS with her when she visits the
CITY. Miss L.ansing's father is a farmer
believe, living somewhere away back OF
INewburgh.'
He may farm in the moon for what
care. ! say, you'll not forget that rifle.
Walton; I'll pay you with interest when

Miss Stanton was feeding her pet birds,
and letting in the sunligh. upon her hva-
cinths, for be it known, although Emily
was sometimes playful as the froIicksome
Puck, her tastes were gentle as the dainty
/ Aeriel's.
who can i! be that sends these beautiful
flowers. Kitty?' said she, bending over
some of the Ioveliest treasures of Flora :;
soh, if only knew-if-'

ham, said Miss Lansing with sly look.
Emily blushed, turned away her head, and
was buster than ever with her birds and
flowers. While thus engaged, Mr.. Grimes
and Mr.. Walton sent up .hei, names by
the servant Miss Stanton received them
cordially, and after few Of the usual no.
things which are generally discussed during
morning-call, Theodore Alonzo directed
the attention of Walton to superb bouquet,
which bloomed in vase of rubby-colored
Bohemian glass, on small marble table.
You are fond Of flowers. believe, Miss
Stanton, and have some rare ones,' said
Walton, who wished to speed the wooing of
his friend, on account of that 'rae;' they
