If any Of our polite readers take exceptions to
the character of the young gentieman's remarks,
they must remember how good his apology he
had been mercessly rejected but few hours be-
fore, and that when he felt very sure of success.
Poor fellow, no wonder he waSalmost wild with

Gustavus Adolphus JewsenberTy twhat name

Craftsvile his high heeled boots, his fashion
able broadcloth and standing collar had encited
the envy Of all. the ladies, while pomatumed
locks, curled with scrupulous exactness around
his exquisite face, his nurtured moustache and
delicate hand enlisted the sympathies of all the
fair damsels of the place.
We said ALL; there was one exceptionally
lie Walters; bit of coquette was she. De-
termined to lower the pride Of the exquisite, she
was too sensible girl to worship furener I"
and jewelled fingers and she played her part
WELL much to the satisfaction of enved fair ones,
who now declared Tillie the most sensible girl
in the village, and that they always knew she
would never marry that crazy Drained fop of q
Jewsenberry.
And SO it was while Craftsville was in an ex-
element on account Thereof, and pretty Tie
Walters sat singing merrily at her work by the
window Of her cottage home, Gustavus Adolf
plus Jewsenberry, ESQ.,, paced his apartment at
the Travellers Guide with hurried steps.
His trunks were already in the hall, and he
was only waiting for the old dusty stage coach
to take him away from the scene of his dis
grace.
"Never mind she shall be mine yet" he ex-
claimed, as the whistle Of the stage horn aroused
him from his reverie; and pulling his hat over
his eyes, he attended to his baggage, again nod
ded goodbye to the host, and sprang into the
coach. The driver cracked his whip, and away
rolled the old vehicle, precipitating the honor-
able gentlemen very uneeremoniously into bas-
ket of eggs young lady was carrying thus
Mr. Augustus Adolphus Jewsenberry babe adieu
to Craftsyille.
Tillie Walters was a pretty little brunette
with pair of the blacklist eyes that ever stole
the sunlight from q poor fellows heart. She
was the only daughter Of the blacksmith Of the
village, good natured though rather eccen-
trio man, who declared his daughter should mar
~ no man, the king himself, if he did not possess
la good trade or profession; and Title thought
SO too; and as Mr. Jewsenbury boasted Of an
inheritance from his uncle, and gloried thereat,
he little thought it operated against him.
These fellows always turn out good for
nothing" said the old man. and Title laughed
and sang as merrily as ever and if she loved
4 GustaYus none was the wiser.
