A Love Confidence.

Some years ago, at one of DIR. Y. S
soireeS at Paris, 1 met gentleman
whose name was not O'Sullivan, but
whom, for the sake of concealment,
I shall so designate. T had never
seen him before, nor were we upon
that occasion introduced to each
other; but this ceremony he soon
rendered needless by introducing
himself.
'I beg ten thousand pardons, sir;
if I am not greatly mistaken, your
name is Fidkins. Il take the same
privilege of concealment, under an
assumed name, as 1 have allowed to
my new friendly
'tFidkins is my name"
'1 beg ten thousand pardons again,
sir; but if [ am not greatly mistaken,
you have lately published a novel
callen '"The Scheming Lover" (My
novel, like my friend and myself,
travels incog.
IT have, Sir"
"Why, then, sir, upon my honor
and conscience, that is q mighty
pretty thing to be able to say"
He smiled, bowed and withdrew,
and I, as in duty bound. was much
amused at the oddity of the proceed
ing. Late in the evening, at Mr..
OSullivan's especial request, DIR. Y.
favored" him with formal intro
duction to me.
On the following morning, at an
hour much earlier than is usual for
paying visits of ceremony, my SER
want brought in Mr.. O'Sullivan's
card, with Mr.. O'Sullivan's most
earnest request that I would grant
him quarter of an hours interview.
The rule being granted, as a lawyer
would say, the gentleman entered !;
and after exhausting no inconsider-
able portion of his time in prepara-
tory "hems" and "haws," he thus
began:
81 beg ten thousand pardons, sir.
Sir, I am tho most unfortunate of
existing creatures, and I come to beg
your kind assistance. I have the
misfortune, sir, to be most miserably
i'll"
'Debt." 1 expected he would have
added, and accordingly made the
most amiable preparations for ex-
pressing "my regret at my utter in
ability" but he continued-"Love.' ii
1t is astonishing with what celebrity
the sluices of our sympathy are
opened, and how copious is the
stream when it is not required to flow
bankward. "Sir," said I, 81 should
be happy to be serviceable to yc- Z,
any manner in the world; but really
it seems to me that i'll case of this
nature"
pardon me, sir, but that is the
very thing; you are the very person,
OF all others, to assist me. AS
said, sir, 1 am most awfully in love
but, unluckily, sir, II am bashful. y
"And 80, sir, you come TO borrow
little of my superAuous impu-
dence? am hattered by the COM
pliment.
Don't misunderstood me, sir;
pray don't. No, sir, the case is this

Tho Ideal.


A tall majestic lady, ~
, With looks of deepest dye,
a siiiaon GIs5s, uho-o gorgeousness
Delights no other eye;
A pretty little cottage,
With ivy cover'd DER;
And she, my pride, my fancy's bride,
? Expectant at the door.
Soft music in the cleaning
Ebbs gurgling from her throat;
While lie still and drink my fill
OF each love- -burdened note;
Days spent in sweet communion
Meath shade of loafy trees;
'We'woo and sing, and ev'rything
Is poetry and ease.
A tiny fairy being
Lies nesting on my breast,
AS, tired of play, she seems to say,
= "This is my rightful rest;"
And in those baby features,
So beautiful and mild,
Methinks trace another face,
The mother of my child.
THE REAL.
slight but comely lady,
With rippling chestnut hair,
A cotton dress, in which, no less,
She looks extremely fair;
A busy bustGng beauty;
On household duty bent;
Who speaks the while, with happy smile,
OF kindness and content.
A little house in London;
No ivy and no flowers,
But what care we for botany?
That little house is ours;
And often in the evening,
When we hear some we'll known cry,
Or tramp OF feet along the street,
We smile, my wife and 1.
No little fairy daughter,
Nesting confidingly;
Four healthy boys, whose ceaseless noise
Brings childhood back to me;
Yet these prosaic blessings,
Of which have my share,
In peace and love, soar far above
My castle in the air.
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1868-04-17

very clever they are,) but it so hap
pens there is not one amongst them
that suits my particular case"
"Well, Mr.. O'Sullivan, have the
Kindness so state your case, and if L
can serve you I will"
"Why, then, sir, in the first place,
the lady is widow-she's thirty five
or thereabouts; no great disparity
between us, as I am thirty-two."
els the lady handsome?"
"Why--that's q mere matter of
taste, .but-why, yes, in my eyes she
1 think, is handsome. But now for
the difficulty; she has eight hundred
n year of her own"
ga difficulty, perhaps, but surely
no objection, Mr.. O'Sullivan."
"Why, yes, and it is. If I propose
to her, people will say it is for the
dirty lucre; when, if you could read
my heart, Mr.. Fidkins, you'd see
that-besides, have I not exactly
eight hundred a year of my own-in
Ireland setting aside for the last
three years the rent won't come in
so MS for her money, you see-but to
make an end, sir, am cruelty in love
with her, and if she won't marry me
I'll die"
"But it seems you have not pro-
posed to the lady. Now, it strikes
me that, as n preliminary step, you
should do SO; at least you should
sound her affections, for should they
be engaged in another quarter -"
"Don't talk of that, sir; the very
thought of that drives me mad. But
I'll follow your advice; I'll see her
to-day, and, should she refuse me. let
nobody think I'll live any longer"
On the following day he came to
me again; the upshot of his interview
with the lady had been flat rejec-
ton. Upon many subsequent occa-
sions he repeated his address, in
variably with n similar effect; and
upon each occasion I received the
honor of his confidence. together
with the alarming assurance that at
length his heart was broken, and that
for him the sun had risen for the last
time.
1t was in vain that I demonstrated
with him on the folly of indulging
hopeless passion, and that I endea-
vored to persuade him to try, by n
change of scene, to forget the cruel
fair one-to quit Paris and go to
Rome, or Nova Scotia, or to carry
out a stock of pigs, paupers and
poultry, and colonize some new dis
covered land. His parting phrase
still-"Tis all of no use; she won't
marry me; I'm the most miserable
of earth's creatures, and now I'll
die"
Business suddenly called me to
England. 1 had neither seen nor
heard of, and had almost forgotten,
''the most miserable of earth's crea-
tures," when one day, about two
years and a half afterwards, as I was
going along Pail Mall, I met him.
He came up to me, and shaking me
violently by9 the hands, exclaimed:
My dear sir, my dear friend, at last
l see you again. This is the happiest
moment L have enjoyed for many
day! You remember that unhappy
attachment of mine? / was the
most miserable man alive MenI I'm
q million times more miserable nou!!"
"For shame, Mr.. O'Sullivan," said
1; ''be man, and forget her."
"Is it forget her you say? And
how the divil will [ forget her, when
we've been married these two years,
and the divil a sixpence has she got
any more than myself?"
