THE PRETTY HAYMAKER;
OR, CHARLIE WHITE'S SECOND LOVE.
Here ton dwells simple truth; plain innocence;
Unsullied beauty; sound unbroken youth,
Patient of labor, with a little pleas'd;
Health ever blooming; unambitious toil;
Calm contemplation; and poetic ease.
[THOMSON'S SEASONS.
\Charlie White was a prince among men. A
itfd'ouvre of nature—who, doubtlessly, intend
d him to heir some magnificent and titled es
ite in met ric England, but, in a fit of vexation,
perchance that the old Earl, his " ci-nprcs ," fa
her, obstinately refused to shuffle off his tnor
il coil to make way for the new comer:) drop
ad him in our homespun republic, y'clepud
las! for romance, Charles White. The wee
"harlie, by virtue of good nursing, paregoric,
nd anniseed, soon changed to a sturdy urchin,
■ho stumped about all unwitting of the honors
0 so narrowly escaped.
As there is nothing worth recording during
ie minority of our hero—unless indeed we may
lention his taking three rather sudden and iu
oluntary cold baths in the cistern during as
iany successive years—also a singular and
rilliant experiment in Pyrotechnics, in memo-
which ho bore ever after sundry warning
ieatrices; yet as these are nothing more than
ceide.nts, to which flesh, and particularly chil
reri's flesh, is heir, we will pass lightly over
iiem, and the succeeding years to his tvventy
ixtli birth-day. At this time he was as the
iris say "such a love of a man," his eyes so
'deeply, darkly blue"—his brow so broad
nd white, and the bright locks turned above
tso precisely the right shade of brown. His
inely cut, though somewhat haughtily curved
ips, disclosed the handsomest teeth in the
rorld, his whiskers were faultless, and his "six
set and upward" the envy of half the beaux.
In his inner man we will not enlarge, merely
remising that he was called a "pretty good fel
iw," also that he had a most intense and aris
ocratic horror of all plebeian employment
low far the fact of his possessing at the same
ime a sufficient quantum of the "filthy lucre,"
ud a pair of very white hands, ("which "en
eritc" it would have been a thousand pities to
lave spoiled)—how far, we say, the fact of
hose possessions might have gone in confirm
ng his intuitive repugnance to "man's"curse"'
vo know not, but certain it is he slid along
hrough the world right easily. It was passing
trange, and so said all the pretty girls of our
ero'B acquaintance, that his twenty-sixth birth
ay found him still hugging his single blessed
ass. There were, however, whispers that
•upid had, in times of yore, sadly wounded his
cart, through the violet eyes of a merry dam
d, who, after leading him a pretty dance
hrough all the perils of love, in lieu of finally
at discretion and falling quietly
nto his wake to follow 011 cozily over life's sea
-suddenly shot off with flying colors, under
nother pilot, leaving him to rig his shattered
ark, and sink or swim, as best he might.
Since that perilous day, Charlie had gone on
ireaking hearts with the utmost industry, gain
ng in process of time quite a reputation us lady
iiler, without being once unpleasantly remind
d that he possessed some fragments of a heart.
Phe girls, who at first had spread their silken
ets most assiduously, and in consideration of
he value of the prize thrown rather more 110-
ey than usual into then smiles, now saw with
ismay all their "loves labor lost," and after
umerous repulses raised the siege "en masse,"
nd stacking their arms unanimously, declared
he fortress impregnable.
. Our hero, in the meantime, little reeking the
ssultof this "council de guerre,"quietly wend
d his way to foreign parts, st',ll engaged in
.reasonable practices against the fairer half of
Ircation. But his cup was nearly filled—the
lour of retribution was at hand.
Receiving one day an invitation to a "petit
iner," lie lound himself at the conclusion of
is toilette rathor late, and determined toshort
.l the distance by a cross route to the house of
is friend. Sallying forth, therefore, he bound
d over a low fence with an energy that some
what discomposed the nice adjustment of his
jvacinthine locks, and, with half-uttered male
t lions on the heat of the day and his own
diness, proceeded with hasty steps over a
icadow, richly dotted with mounds of freshly
lown hay. Diverging a little from his path,
e entered a grove to obtain a momentary shcl
>r from the sun. Crushing ber.eatli his feet a
ewy cluster of the richly rnoited wood-lily
id pressing aside the fragrant foliage, he
aund his way along till gaining a nioro open
ot, with the next step he half stumbled over.
"Ye powers, a woman, and moreover fast
loop"—as I e half uttered. And a more fit
g nook could not havo been selected for a
jntide siesta, closely sheltered as it was, save
opening on the shady sine, where the breezes
;pt in to die sighing away 'mid the odorous
liage. A dry and mossy hank supplied a fit
ng couch, and there reclined the sleeper who
act so nearly destroyeil our heio's equilibrium,
[er slight though rounded figure was clad in
dross of some coarse, dark material, certainly
ot the late l'aris mode, and from beneath the
tanly and somewhat brief skirt peeped fortli a
tot and ankle of the most perfect symmetry,
H alas! for the elegant Charlie, guiltless alike
■shoe and stocking. One little hand hud
link by her side with the soft, pink palm up-
Lined and the taper and relaxed fingeis grnsp
lig a tiny harebell. Its fellow was" lnd°amid
Km mass of curls half crushed beneath bel
les. On the other side of the finely turned
■fed the silky clusters were flung boldly bud
■n the broad, smooth brow, and swept ou
Jfer the green moss, crushing down a clu,.',e
|[ wild daizies, whose tiny blossoms peeped out
ITO and there, amid the raven shadows trern-
in the breeze, that wafted their soft per-
the still face of the sleeper, ltmight
that a sweet thought was stirring; at
PRISi I'ESI AND PUBLISIIKI) EVERY MORNIND, BY BULL & Tt'TTDE, No. 13 Y BALTIMORE STREET. BALTIMORE, Mil,
her heart, for just now the hue of her cheek
grew bright as the pink of an ocean shell, and
her rose-hud lips half parted with the smile that
swept like a sunbeam over her face.
But we have left our hero standing with
mouth and eyes equally extended, wondering
very much if such flowers were indigenous to
all the groves in that region of country—won
dering what the creature was thinking of, pre
cisely at that moment; and wondering (the vil
lain) if it would be possible to snatch a kiss
from those sweetest of lips, and escape with
impunity. I know not how long he might
have wondered, had not a saucy Zephyr lifted
his hat at this moment, and "sans ceremonie,"
bore it away.
Making a step forward to recover it, he trip
ped against a projecting root and came in no
very gentle manner on his knees beside the
sleeper. The shock was effectual; the jetty
lashes that had rested so lightly 011 either
cheek, were lifted suddenly. With a cry of
alarm the girl sprung up, but as her feet press
ed the cool grass, she turned to see the eyes of
the stranger fixed upon them, and sinking
to the ground she concealed them under her,
while a pink flush stole over her face, and her
eyes filled with tears of vexation.
Our friend all this while was fully engaged
in framing and uttering a thousand apologies,
to all of which she listened in half-pouting si
lence, till her eyes glanced from his vexed face
to a large dark stain on either knee, acquired
by their ungentle salutations of Mother Earth.
Forgetting all else, she burst into a peal of
merry laughter, waking the echoes with notes
so silvery that her pleading companion caught
the infection, and joined her right heartily.—
Half an hour afterward the two sat side by
side in the little nook, apparently the best
friends in the world. lie was made to under
stand that she had come out to make hay in
her father's field, and that she had selected
their shady retreat for a 'sulk a manger,' where
in to partake of her simple refreshments; and
he in his turn explained iiis intiusion, and ac
cepted with right good will a part of her din
ner in place of that he had lost through her
means. Wo will not relate how he praised
the cream pie of her own making, or how they
drank spring water fiorn the same tin cup, or
any of the other rninutite of their tete-a-tole.
Suffice it to say, from this time our friend
Charlie eschewed most religiously all dinner
parties, and other merry-makings, and was
seized with quite a mania for rural researches.
It was on a July afternoon, a full fortnight
from the event just recorded, that Charlie and
the country girl sat once more side by side in
the little grove. The merry girl was twining
a garland and laughing as gaily as ever, hut
the fiery eyes ot her companion had troubled
light, and his voice an earnest tone, that be
tokened change.
"Come, let us go—my garland is finished—
and see, the sun is sinking;" and, rising, the
girl scattered with a sudden toss the dewy flow
ers, that half tilled her apron, all over the head
of her silent companion; then lifting her bon
net from the ground, she stepped out into the
golden light; and, with a mocking courtesy,
turned to go.
"Come back, Hetty—stay one moment—l
have something" to say;" and as she seated her
self again half impatiently beside him, he re
lapsed again into silence.
"Well, speak if you have any thing to say.
I must hasten home, for I expect Henry."
"And who is Henry? But no matter!—!
will speak. Many years ago, Hetty, I loved a
fair young girl loved her deeply, devotedly.
I wooed and won her. A few short days, and
she would have become my own; but, ere they
passed away, she left me for another. At that
time I vowed 1 would never love again. I
thought 1 never could. I thought that the
blight hopes so utterly crushed could never
wake again. But you have undeceived me,
Hetty; and now can you return my love? for I
do love you, Hetty—better, far better "
"Hark! hatk! did you not hear that?" And
the girl tossed back the dark hair from her brow
and bent eagerly forward.
"Hetty! Hetty"—and again her name echo
ed through the grove at tho loudest pitch of a
manly voice—"Hetty, where are you?" And
the next instant a young man burst into the
circle with his fine face all in a glow, and his
arms eagerly extended. With a half scream.
Hetty threw herself on his bosom, covering
him with kisses, and sobbing as if her heart
would break from very joy.
| "And who is this?" said our discomfited
hero, whose anger, on account of the interrup
tion, was in no wise lessened by the conduct
of his inamorata!"
"This—why don't you know—this is Hen
ry!"
"And who, in the name of King Solomon,
is Henry?" And Charlie waxed more wroth
as he detected something like a smile 011 the
face of the young man.
"Why, Henry is—lie is—why, didn't you
know it?"—and the little coquette crimsoned
down to her very shoulders—"ls it possible
you never heard?— Henr y—is MY HUSBAND.

THE SIAMESE TWINS. We extract from the
letter of a correspondent of the South Carolina
"Spartan,"tho following account of Chang and
Eng, and their families:
"You may be aware that some years since
the Siamese Twins, Chang and Eng, retired
from the public gaze, and settled down in this
county (Wilkes) as farmers. Yon will also
recollect that daring the last year it was pub
lished in some of tlio newspapers that they
were not still living in single blessedness. To
my surpiise 1 find that the supposed hoax is a
literal fact; and that those distinguished char
acters are manied men! Mrs. C. and Mrs. E.
are well known to several of my personal ac
quaintances, and are said to bo very amiable
and industrious. Each of the ladies has pre
sented her particular 'lord' with an heir, in
the person of a line, fat, lsiuncing daughter!
"It is said that Chang and Eng, with their
wives and children, contemplate making a tour
tin*: "arh the country, 111 a year or two. The
enjoy excellent health, ure very lively,
and apparently happy, and will
prove more interesting and attractive
•co ui tour than they did in their first
civilized world. Having families
! | for, as prudent husbands and lather
! they may think their bachelor fortune insui
j (icicnt for all the little Changs and Engs 01
I which they now have the promise."
MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1844.
ANOTHER HURRICANE!— Loss of Life and de
struction if Property. We learn from the Wes
tern Expositor, printed at Independence, Jack
son county, Mo., that a destructive hurricane
visited that section of the State about 9 o'clock
011 the night of the 251h ult. Its effects were
lamentably disastrous. That paper says:
It came across the prairie, and the first we
heard of its effects, was at the Mission, 3 miles
from Westport, which it injured considerably,
from whence it passed over our county in a
northeast direction, striking the river about one
half mile above Wayne city, at C.N. Hall's
mill, and have heard of its keeping down the
river for some miles, but as yet we have not
heard where it commenced nor where it ended
It varied from five to seven hundred yards in
width, and pursued a straight direction. We
give the following list of the killed and woun
ded:
Mrs. McGill, Livingston, killed; Mrs. Stone,
do.; Mr. Kerr had three children killed, and
himself greatly wounded; Miss Mary Middle
ton, and Dr. Martin'sson, near Westport, were
killed. A stranger who had been moving a
family to Platte, and encamped opposite
Owen's landing, was found dead, Ins wagon
blown entirely away. Thomas Hedges had all
his houses and furniture blown off, and several
of his family badly crippled. .Samuel Lambert,
houses, &c., gone, wife and another person
badly injured. J. Beadly, houses, &c. blown oft";
J. King, do.; Mrs. Iluggins, do., and herself
badly crippled; Calvin McCoy, do., and several
of Ins family crippled; Dr. Martin, do.; Mrs.
Buckhart, do.; Thomas Smith, do. C.N. Hall's
steam saw mill, roof blown off, grist mill and
houses blown entirely away—damage about
SI2OO.
We have heard of several others killed and
wounded, and much inoro property injured, but
do not know the particulars. We have no idea
that the half has been told, or yet heard, of the
loss of lives and the destruction of property oc
casioned by this awful tornado.
THRILLING INCIDENT. The Louisville Cou-1
rier relates a most thrilling incident, which oc- j
curred in that city last week, at a meeting of!
the friends of colonization. It was connected
with the departure ofa small band of emigrants,
just brought to Louisvillo by a gentleman of ;
Shelby county, by whom they were manumit
ted, and placed under the care of Rev. Mr. \
Pinny, an agent of the Colonization Society, j
Of the number, eleven were children of one i
man, who was present, and appeared to be |
verging to the age of threescore years and ten. !
This patriarch was not of the number manu
mitted; he belonged to another estate, but had j
permission to accompany his wife and children !
to this city, and here bid them a final adieu.— !
When this fact was announced, with an emo-!
tion that almost choked the utterance of the I
speaker, there was that long drawing in of the j
breath by every listener which indicates the'
workings of the powers within. All eyes were
directed toward the object of so much syrnpa-1
thy; and when it was further stated, that the!
owner of the old man Reuben, (for so ho was '
called,) would permit him to depart with his
family for the small sum of a thousand pence, j
the response was, with one voice, Reuben shall'
he free! On the instant, the table of the Mod- j
erator was thronged, and the requisite sum laid i
upon it, to reunite for the remnant of their
days old man Reuben and his wife, and tiiey i
arid their children are now on their way to the!
shores of Africa.
ANECDOTE OF CYRUS BUTLER— Witty rebuke \
of Alillerism. We were much amused, a few
days ago by an anecdote related to us by a !
gentleman from Providence, of Cyrus Butler, |
one of the wealthiest citizens of Rhode Island, ■
who has lately made a munificent donation of
forty thousand dollars towards the establish-!
men of an insane asylum. It appears that a
few weeks ago some Milleritcs called upon Mr.'
B. to admonish him of the approaching end of i
the world on the 23rd of October, and of the '
importance of his making a good use of his ;
wealth before it should all ho consumed in the !
general conflagration. After listening patient- !
ly, Mr. B. replied—"we'l, gentlemen, I am j
much obliged to von for your good intentions, ■
arid tho effect of your arguments has been to j
convince me that I have made the best possible j
use of it, at least a poition of my property, in j
founding an Asylum for the Insane—and you
are perfectly welcome to tho benefit of it.— I
Good morning, gentlemen."

BUCK-WHEAT CAKES. As this is the seasonj
for Buck-wheat Cakes, the following recipe
will at. this time be valuable to those who are 1
fond of thorn—a friend, who has tried the cx-j
periment, says it makes decidedly better cakes, |
with half the trouble necessary in the usual
mode of raising them with yeast. To three'
•pints of buck-wheat tlour, mixed into a hatter, j
add one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, dis
solved in w iter, add one ditto of tartaric acid, |
dissolved in like manner—first apply the car
bonate, stir the baiter well, and then put in
the acid—thus the use of yeast is entirely su
perseded, and cakes "as light as a feather" are
insured. One great advantage is that the bat- j
ter is ready for baking as soon as it is made.
SHIPWRECKS. Tho schooner Mary lvlots,
bound out from St. Augustine, for North Caro- j
lina, went on tho bar in a calm, but a wind
springing up from N*. E., she parted her cables, 1
went ashore and was totally lost.
