PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.
TUB SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the repeated
and urgently expressed wi<h of eminent and ju
?li' ious persons in various Fections of the country,
hive derided tocommence on the first nf January. 1853,
an entirely original Periodical, under the above title.
It is intended to combine the lighter characteristics
of a popular magazine with the higher and graver
quali ies of a quarterly review, tilling a position hith
erto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive variety for the general reader is
thus obtained, there will be an attempt to securu sub
?tantial excellence in each depattment.
Tb accomplish this we intend that the work in all
its mechanical and business aspects shall be such as
will meet the views of our moft distinguished writers,
such a medium as they would seek for in comtnuni
cHtins: with the world, and such as may tempt some
t" write ably and p-.ofitably who have not hitherto
eontributed to periodials.
We intend that all articles admitted into the work
fhall bo liberally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for such
? work; that there is no lack either of talent among
our writers or of appreciation on the art ?t' the read
ing public; and that a properly conducted periodical
of this kind may bring to light much true genius as
Jtt undeveloped.
" Putnam's Monthly'' ?will be devoted to the interests
ff Literature, Science, and Art?in their best and
Jlfa.?antest aspects.
Entirely independent of all merely selfi h interests,
trpartizan or sectional leauin?;p, in it* management,
?*.wiu h? open to competent writers for free discussion
1 ? *urh topics as are deemed important and of pubiic
interest.
The criiieal department will bo wholly independent
? the publishers, and as far as possible, of all personal
nfluence or bias. Wholesome castigations of public
iboMH, win be allowed a fair field without fea-or favor.
An elevated national tone aud spirit, American and
?"?'i'pendent, yet discriminating and just, both to the
?mure and to the social condition and prospect#) of
vtk hemispheres, will be cultivated as a leading prin
'ipl* of the work.
special attention will be given to matters connect
*>th social policy, municipal regulations, public
-with *l I >afetv, and tha practical economies of cvery
w life.
While v. uhject needs illustration, or pictorial ex
?u<-hillustrations will be occasionally given;
'ut ?t is aut expected that the success of the work is
? depend on what are termed " embellishments."

RUPERT WARREN'S ADVENTURE.
BY CARLOS WILMOT.
Be sure your'e right, then go ahead.?Old Advice.
Had Rupert Warren followed this sage
advice he would have saved himself consid
erable trouble, nnd would not have run the
risk of getting himself into an unpleasant
difficulty. But he went ahead without first
assuring himself that he was on the right
track ; which want of caution, although in
the sequel it did not very materially, might
have led to very unpleasant consequences.
My friend Warreu was an inveterate wo
man liater?he could not bear to be in their
company, and never spoke of them except
in terms of ridicule. This dislike to the
sex he made no endeavor to conceal either
from them or his male companions. He
had even, though but twenty-three, joined
a club of old bachelors and was held up by
members as .a model for all young men.
Were all of their opinion, what would be
come of the ladies? Heaven only knows!
But, fortunately, the number who are of
' their opinion is but a small portion of man
kind.
And yet Warren was not a crabbed old
stick. But twenty-three, with a comforta
ble fortune, of pleasing exterior and ad
dress, and a cultivated mind, no one, less
than he, were he so disposed, would have
feared for the success of a suit for the baud
of the fairest of Bost-n's fair daughters.
Setting aside his foible, a pleasanter and
more agreeable companion can nowhere be
found. He was the life and soul of baclie
lordom. No gander party could be com
plete where Warren was not present. Who
could better sing a soug or crack a joke ?
\N ho more graciously occupy the chair and
give out the toasts, while the sparkling
champaigne crowned the glasses with its
silvery froth ? But his glory i as now de
parted?he has yielded up his bachelor rev
els at the shrine of Hymen aud is now con
tent to enjoy the more quiet pleasures of
the Benedick. I sometimes used to think
that he did not always believe, himself, in
the cutting remarks he made concerning
the fair sex, but regarded the matter some
what in the light of a hobby, which, having
once bestrode, he must continue to ride
whether or no. But to my stury.
One afternoon last summer 1 met War
ren on Washington street, and as we were
both at leisure, we continued to walk to
gether. I remarked that he did not rattle
on as he was accustomed to, and that the
ladies we eucountered passed scatheless of
the remarks he was wont to make upon
them. I could account for it in no other
way than that he was unwell, and in no hu
mor to make his piquant observations.
"Warren," I inquired, "arc you ill?"
" No, why do you ask ?"
"I fancied that you were, you are so
much more quiet to-day than usual. Even
that simpering miss, yondtr, kissing her
hand to that dapper young clerk over the
way, has failed to elecit from you a single
remark?you who have been so ready to
ridicule women when you have had much
less reason to do so than at present."
"Ah! my friend," said he, "all that is
passed and gone."
"How!" cried I astonished.
"Henceforth," he continued, "the ladies
may do and act as they please without the
fearof my tongue. 1 am silent?dumb. My
eyes are closed to all their little peccadil
loes."
"How has this marvellous changc been
brought about in you ?" I asked.
"By the power of the little god, Cupid,
whom I have, until lately, despised."
"What you?you, the woman-hater?you
in love alter all you have said against the
sex."
"Even so," he replied. "I take back all
I have said derogatory to them, and humbly
beg their pardon for past transgressions.
Like what's his name, 'when I said I would
die a batchelor, I did not think I should live
to be married.'"
"I congratulate you on your conversion.
But what will your club-mat And acquaint
ances say ?"
"I know that I shall be laughed at for a
while," he replied, "but I have courage
enough to face it. Then it will be wily for
a time ; like a nine days wonder, it will at j
last die away and be forgotten."
"I admire your philosophy," said I.
"There are not many who had taken such a
decided stand as you dUl, would be willing
to brave the laughter and ridicule of his as
sociates. When do you intend to marry ?"
"Alas! I know not," he said, with such
a woe-begone look, as though he had been
afforded a glimpse of Paraiise and then had
it vailed suddenly from his sight, that I
could scarcely help laughing at him myself.
However, I repressed my risibilities as I did
not wish to offend him, and I really felt
quite an interest in his adventure.
"Who is the lady ?" I enquired; "do I
know her ?"
"X don't know, for I don't know her my
self?neither her name nor where she lives,"
he replied.
"In love with an unknown! That is de
cidedly romantic," said I, my interest in
the affair growicg more and more excited.
"Where did you meet with her !"
"I will tell you the whole story. Last
week as I was walking out, there came up
a sudden storm, I was provided with an
umbrella, but soon the rain increased to
such a violence as to render it almost use
less. It seemed as though the foundation
! ??
of the mighty deep were broken up, and we
were about to experieioe a new deluge. I
took shelter from the fury of the elements
in the Amory Hall doorway, in West street.
The place had already mother occupant in
the person of a young lady of nbout eighteen,
and of angelic loveliness. Her complexion
was as fair as Hebe's?her eyes of a pure
blue, the azure of heaven, in which one
might read the purity of the soul. Her lips
were "like a rose-bud cleft in twain," and
on which played a sweet smile that, like a
sunbeem on a block #f ice, went to my
heart and melted its cold exterior, aud
germinated its better feelings. I entered
into conversation with fcer and found her as
intelligent as beautiful, and with
"A voice to witch an aogd from the s>kics,
And make him wiah to le*ve celestial joy,
And dwell on earth, could he be near the fount
From whence such blissf ul melody proceeds."
5
My friend having grown poetical, I knew
that he was far gone, and that nothing but
marriage could cure his malady.
"Well?" said I.
"Well," continued Warren with a sigh,
"even on that stormy, unpropitious day
was Dan Cupid hovering round, and I?I
who had often braved his power in the sun
light, or surrounded by the fairest of the
sex, was I in that gloomy entry, transfixed
by a shaft from the little archer's bow. The
wound was sweet and I did not seek to heal
it. Just as I was about to ask her name the
violence of the storm bad somewhat abated,
and an omnibus stopped at the corner. The
young lady with a gracious smile, requested
me to attend her with my umbrella to the
vehicle. I was only too happy to have an
opportunity of rendering her a service,
though this somewhat interfered with my
desires. I escorted her to the omnibus?
she thanked me sweetly, and I saw her
rolled away in the distance. Fool that I
was not to have entered with her and at
| tended her home ; then I should have known
I what I desire to know. But bright thoughts
' always come too late."
"it is very frequeitly the case," I re
marked.
" I have often blessed the storm which
led to tkis meeting vliich has awakened
these new ideas withir. me, but in the same
breath I deprecate it, for I have not been
allowed to drink of the cup of happiness
tkat was raised to my lips only to be dashed
to the ground."
" What do you mean ?" I inquired.
" 1 have not seen my unknown since that
day," he replied. "Not knowing her ad
dress, the only hope I could have was to
meet her in the street, and every day have
I walked up and down Washington street in
the hopes of seeing once again her without
whom my future lite will be a blank ; but 1
have not succeeded in finding her and hope
has almost died within me. But still I shall
not discontinue the search."
Suddenly gvasping my arm, "There!" he
cried, with an eagerness that made many
turn to look at him, and observing the at
tention drawn to him, he continued in a
lower tone?
"There is the lady I am in search of?
she in the blue mantle.
I looked in the direction indicated and
saw one, who in features and grace might
indeed answer to an angel upon earth, did
they ever condescend to visit this sublunary
sphere, and I no longer wondered how it
was that even Warren's/ heart had been
touched. Such loveliness could not be view
ed witluut emotion by any one.
"Is she not beautiful ?" asked Warren.
"She is indeed beautiful," I replied, "and
if you succeed in winning her you will be
truly fortunate."
"Faint heart never won fair lady," said
he in a rather more joyous tone than he had
been speaking in. "I see her again, which
half completes the affair. 'Now that I have
at last found her I shall not lose 6ight of
her until I ascertain her abode, if I walk
about all the evening."
"I will walk with you," said I for my curi
osity was excited and 1 wished to see the
progress of the adventure.
" I would that she were alone," said War
ren, "then I would accost her. Let us
cross and return again on this side so as to
meet her and see if she will know me
again.
We did as he proposed and as we passed
she smiled as though she recognized my
friend, but did not feel sufficiently acquainted
to bow. Warren politely raised his hat and
then she returned his salutation.
"See, she recognises me!" cried Warren,
in an ecstacy of delight, "and disposed to
continue the acquaintance so singularly be
gun. I am a fortunate mortal!"
" But now, and you were almost cursing
your stars."
" Then I was in the gloom of night, but
now the glorious moon begins to dawn up
on my soul."
All this while we had been following my
friend's inamorata and her companion. At
last we saw them enter a house in Harrison
avenue, and ensconced in a doorway oppo
site, my friend and I waited to see if they
would come forth again.
In about twenty minutes, the lady's com
panion came out alone, from which we
judged that the house was the residence of
the unknown. Crossing, we read the name
of Nelson on the door. My friend and I ]
then separated.
Other matters had driven the circum
stance from my mind till about a month af
terwards when I happened to meet Warren
in the street, which recalled the thing to
me, and I inquired how the affair had pro
gressed.
Warren burst into a fit of laughter.
"How?" raid I, astonished at bis singu
lar conduct.
" My dear boy," replied Warren, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, " the story is too
long to be told in the street?come with me
to my office and I will acquaint you witn
the whole particulars."
We adjourned to his office as he had pro
posed, and being comfortably seated in our
arm chairs, my friend commenced his nar
ration.
" When you and I parted at Mr. Nelson's
door, I did not for a moment doubt but
that was the residence of my unknown, and
the next day I penned her a note request
ing permission to call upon her. I have it
here," and he drew a bundle of papers from
a pigeon hole in his desk. I will read it:
" Dear Miss Nelson. Since the day on
which I had the happiness to see you, and
converse with you, though but for a few
brief moments, your image has ever been
present in my heart. I knew not your
name, neither your residence, but I have
daily sought an opportunity of beholding
you again, but unsuccessfully. Hope hnd
almost died within me, whep yesterday I
again followed you home. Will you not
grant me leave to renew our acquaintance,
by calling upon you this evening ? Pardon
my boldness in thus addressing you, but
love cannot wait the cold, tedious forms of
ceremonious introduction, aud then 1 know
no one who could perform that office for
me. My address is No. 80 street,
and if I do not receive a note forbidding it,
expect this evening a call from
Your devoted admirer,
Rupert Wakbisn."
"Well?"
"Well, that evening brought a reply
couched in these terms:
"Mr. Warren : I received your note this
morning, and cannot but feel very much
tlattered to have inspired such an interest
as you there express. You request permis
sion to visit me. At present it will not be pos
sible for you to do so at the house, owing to
circumstances, which I will explain at some
other time?neither can I meet you other
wheres, as, last night, I fell upon the stairs
and sprained my ankle, which will confine
me at home for a time. But, sir, when recov
ered, at some future time, I shall be pleased
to continue your acquaintance.
Louisa Nelson.
"Quite brief, and to the point," I re
marked.
Warren continued : "The next day I sent
her another note expressing uiy solicitude
for her welfare, and my earnest wishes for
her speedy recovery, and in the evening
received a reply. The correspondence con
tinued in this manner for several days,
when having recovered from her indisposi
tion, Miss Nelson made an appointment to
meet me at a certain place on the common.
I felt now that my happiness was at its
height. How anxiously did I wait for the
appointed time! How I loathed the weary
hours that intervened between me and hap
piness ! I was at the rendezvous a whole
hour too soon, and walked up and down in
a state of feverish impatience. As the hour
struck I seated myself on the bench at
which we were to meet, and anxiously
gazed around to get the first glimpse of the
adored Louisa. Five weary minutes passed
away, seeming to my impatience like ages
in their flight, and she had not come. Pre
sently a lady of about thirty-five came up
the mall, looking around as though in search
of some one, and" at last came to where 1
was sitting.
"Mr. Warren ?" she inquired.
"That is my name, Madam," I replied.
"Mr. Rupert Warren ?" she continued, as
if she wished to be certain of my identity.
"The same, Madam."
"But you do not appear to recollect me,"
she said, and you are a much younger
person than I had expected to meet."
"Madam," I replied, "I have no recol
lection of having seen you before." 1 too
had an appointment to meet a lady at this
place and this hour?there surely must be
some mistake."
"You are, you say, Mr. Rupert Warren,"
she continued, seating herself on the bench.
"Have you not lately addressed several
notes to Miss Nelson ?"
"I have," I replied, wondering what was
to follow.
"I am Miss Nel^n," said she.
"You, Madam!" I cried in astonishment,
"you ? but Madam "
"Yes," she interrupted "I am she to
whom you wrote these notes," said she,
taking them from her pocket and extending
them to me, "and who was foolish enough
to reply to them. As soon as I saw you
here, I knew from your youth that either
there had been a mistake committed or else
you have been wicked enough to trifle with
my feelings,"
"I assure you, madam." I exclaimed,
"that no one can more deeply regret the
strange error into which I have fallen, than
[ do, and I trust that you will not for a
moment think so meanly of me as to sup
pose that I would be guilty of trifling with
anybody's feelings."
"I believe you, sir," she replied, "and I
pardon you your error, but tell me what led
you into it?"
MI recounted how I had beeome acquaint
ed with the unknewn; my subsequent
search for her and how I had at last found,
ind followed her to Miss Nelson's.
"How was she dressed ?" the lady en
quired.
"I believe in a blue dress and mantle,"
[ replied, "my attention was takes up with
ber that I scarcely noticed her dress."
il
<?
It was my niece," said Miss kelson.
She spent the day and night at our house.
The next day she went into the country,
so that you could have had no opportunity
of seeing her. She has now returned, aud
if you wish, I will give you an introduction
to her this very evoni>g."
'?Do I wish it?" i exclaimed. "Ah
madam, you will make me the happiest of
men "
"Perhaps," said she, smiling at my eager
ness; 4'do you remember in your last uot?
you said that the sight of me would make
you happy ?"
"And, madam, I am sure of it now, sine#
you promse to assist me now/'
"Well, well," said she, "call upon me
this evening and accompany me to my
niece's."
"You may be sure, Carlos, that I was
puuetual at t\e appointment, and we went
in company to her neiee's, Miss Lloyd, who
was indeed sle whom I Lad so l?ng been
in search of. She recognized me and greet
ed me as an old acquaintance. The hoal
flew en rapid pinions, eulivened by rs
charms of her conversation, and it vus' the
ere 1 took my leave, having obtained per
mission to renew my call, which permission
I eagerly availed myself of, and now I am
her accepted lover. Miss Nelson bas told
her neicc of our correspondence aud we
three often have a quiet laugh over it."
"Well, Warren, I wish you joy of the hap
py termination of your adventure," said I,
when vny friend h?d concluded. *4Aud now
there is but one thing more to complete
your happiuess, and that is
"Marriage," said he, interrupting me.?
"You are right, my boy, and that will not
be long delayed. Will you accept the office
of groomsman ?"
"Most willingly," 1 replied.
"Well, then, come with me this evening
and I will introduce you to my future bride.
She will be pleased to see you, for she al
ready knows you as the one who agisted
me in making my blunder."
* * * * * * * *
A month after the above conversation I of
ficiated as groomsman at the marriage of my
friend and Miss Lloyd.
Long may they live to enjoy their felicity.
May the path of their wedded life b? strown
with nought but tlowers, with no thorn to
disturb their serenity. And when age shaH
come upon them may they, happy in the
tried strength of each other's atiection, sur
rouudeu by their children's children, pre
pare to meet each other, when this life shall
be spent, in the blessed regions of bliss
above.
