FAYETTEVILLE , N. C.
Wiuning A Wife.
Ire Harbottle, of Harbottle Court, was one of
lrangest humorists in our county. Having
jfj; circumscribed his desires to country lite
lira! pursuits, it is not wonderful that he de
ll all his ideas from thence; consisting of a
i j stock of feelings and opinions, which, as
werc of the exclusive kind, and admitted of
t
novation, were probably the very same that
mploj-ed the intellectual faculties of his grand-
aua great grandfather, and been used as
itary property from time immemorial.
lOlltr these crude doctrines was nne- liru-in wbinb

of limes well nigh destroyed the table and his own

"I Na spbrts of -tlie field : unless he de-
cortld not in lustice to the race be esteemed a hu
man being. Upon these points he had not only
pinned his faith, but sewed it with the needle of
strong belief, and it would have been as safe to
doubt the legitimacy of the Hanover succession, or
the necessity of the com laws, as to argue with tlui
equ'i-e upon the soundness of his premises in the
promulgation of the above doctrine.
It was, accordingly, a matter of much perplexi
ty and concern to Airs. Harbottle and her daughter,
Mabel, well knowing these obstinate and irrevo
cable convictions, how the addresses of Mr. Mertou
would be countenunced by the squire.
Mr. Merton was a young West Indian of large
fortune, who during the last London season had
been introduced t Mabel, and had succeeded in
creating what is usually termed a "rc-ciprocul pas
sion," and had iu consequence been asked by Mrs.
Harbottle to spend a low weeks at Harbottle
court.
That lady justly conceived that a better match
Could not possibly be brought about ; but had al
together forgotten or overlooked tne fulminatious
of the squire, which threatened utter destruction to
her cherished scheme.
From that oracular authority in the meanwhile,
no further consolation was to bo obtained than such
as could be extracted from sayings and intimations
of this nature : '"He would see what was to be
made of the young fellow ten to one he is a milk
sop :' and invidious reflections of the like charac
ter. At length Mr. Merton arrived at Harbottle, and
was received by the squire witli an anticipato
paternal grasp of the hand, which he Verily
lieved had paralysed his whole frame. But in sp10
of so cordial a greeting, Mr. Harbottle encouraged
mental reservations of his own, by no means pro
pitious to his visitor.
'Not at all like my fiicnd Burley of the Orange,"
thought . he. "The lad doe.-n't weigh more than
ten Stone, and Burley is sixteen ; and then he's as
tnin as u hurdle ! He won't do for a sou-in-law,
that's certain." -.
Merton was, in truth, a young man of fine taste
and elegant accomplishments, but by no means
likely to conciliate the squire by a forward or pre
suming exhibition of proficiency in the peculiar
practices or feats with which the old gentleman had
been piouc to invest his imaginary idols. But re
cently arrived from the West Indies, he had not yd
divested himself of those habits of luxurious indo
lence and eniovment common to the natives of Bar
bados, and he could no more reconcile it to his in-
anw the cloves with a Dusrilistic ete-
tlAjaii to encounter a triumvirate of Titans, or
toiSee- Silenus himself under the table. It may
readily be ecneeived, then, that the tw o new friends
were at first sight far from feeling that perfect cor
diality and good will toward each other, so little ex
pected, but so anxiously hoped for by the ladies.
As they sat over their wine, however, after the
retirement of Mrs. Harbottle and her daughUr, the
squire thought it would be a favorable opportunity
of sounding the West Indian, touching these indis
pensable acquirements, which he preceded by an
elaborate t ui vey of his victim.
"Why, you don't drink, my good sir," said he,
pushing the decanter toward him. "No evasion, no
heeltaps fair play, you know," and lie tipped a
wi. k of meaning.

"No, indeed," said the young man, "fashion is

"I suppose," interrupted HarLoltle, "you never
put on the gloves, eh ?"
"Put on the gloves ? I yvear gloves, certainly,"
ansyvercd the other, yvilh an inquiring smile.
"Wear gloves ! pshaw !" shouted the old gentle
man, testily. "Put on the gloves, 1 say exercise
yourself in sparring in the manly exercise of self
defence." "My dear sir, I never do put on those gloves, I
assure you," said Merton, gravely, with a voice that
yvould have graced a confessional.
"You don't hunt, I presume '' asked the squire,
drumming his lingers upon the table, as he elevated
one eyebrow and directed an oblique look at hia
compunion, which seemed as though his voice pro
ceeded from his eye "You dont hunt ! Prefer the
road to cross-country ?"
"I have never been used to hunting, I confess."
"Ah ? very yvcll I sec how it is." And a bitter
ly sardonic grin deformed the features of the squire.
"Look ye, sir," said he, after a long pause, "I have
a daughter Mabel. Mabel is a fine girl, sir."
'Miss Harbottle," said Merton, with a rapturous
emphasis, "is indeed a young lady, not only of the
greatest beauty, but of the most elegant taste, and
the mot exemplary principles. Might I but hope
-No, no, you must not hope, sir, by any means,"
quoth the squire, doggedly, "unless 3 0U are prepar
ed to make yourself master of those requisite accom
plishments, yvithont which the pi ince himself might
sue for her hind in vain.,
"What, sir;' cried the astounded youth, des
patching a bumper down his thro it, and falling
back iu his chair "what, sir, would you have me
grovelling under your table, nightly ? Would y-ou
have me saturate myself wi h wine, until rny vis
age put on the imperial purple during the unhappy
reign of my existence? Would 3 oil have me
drown myself, like Clarence, in a butt of Malinsley,
before you could deem tne 'yvorthy of 3-our daugh
ter?"' And he swallowed a second glass.
The squire nodded assent.
"'Would you delight to fee me," he continued,
"rushing madly over 3-our acres like the wild hunts
man of .Bohemia, or the hero of Wordsworth's
Hartleap Well,' or coursing through the air like
him of -The Wondrous Horse of BrassI?'"
"Why, yes, 1 should like to see it very much,'
quoth the squire, complacently.
Would you qualify me for marriage," proceeded
the novice, "by breaking every bone in my body
by pounding me more ruthleispy than physical pain
was meled out to I on Quixotte under tue tender
batons of the yvoolstaplers, or by educing pastime
from my person, whereto the tortures of Phalarsis
in his "Brazen Bull' yvere but soft and exquisite de
lights ?"
"Nothing less, I assure you," roared the squire
in a transport, raising himself iu his chair, and
v
rubbing his hands with delight. "These are the
conditions, my dear boy, and so you may make
choice instantlj'."
Whereupon the old gentleman betook himself to
his evening slumber, and the unhappy Merton again
had recourse to the decanter, till, sooth to tay, it
refused to yield a drop more. Having at length
made his way into the drawing-room, and seated
himself beside Mrs. Harbottle. the youth fetched
a deep sigli, and began to speak volumes, of which
the folloyving is but a brief abstract : "Madam, that
I feel the most pure and unconquerable affection for
your daughter is altogether undeniable ; but the
Squire, noyv under the benign influence of Morphe
ust has, I cannot but hope jocularly, been pleased
to mark out for me a course of studies, which will.
I feel, be impracticable."'
"AJb, my dear," said Mrs. Harbottle, addressing
her daughter, "your father has been insisting on
those ridiculous conditions I feared as much.
An imploring glaticc from the tea-urn too plainly
intimated that Mabel partook of her mother's cha
grin. "Well, but madam," said Merton, fervently, "is
there no way of evading tacse preposterous articles
of treaty ?"'
'I fiar not,, indeed," was the reply ; and both
ladies JooJt lter .heads despoil Jinglv ; and here
t!j-oxms'?su1teaT fverte.-
At cavly day break the neet morning, Merton was
aroused by a vociferous hallooing, and the wild
blast of a horn beneath his window, in the midst ot
which the stentorion voice of the squire broke up
ou his ear, summoning biiu yvithout delay to the
meet, some four miles distant.
With a heavy heart he proceeded to obey, and
crawling down stairs, was at once conducted to a
forious quadruped, who-tc locomotive propensities.
even before he yvas yvcll in the saddle, seemed to i
foretell disastrous downfall and disgrace, and inti-j
mated by anticipation that compound fracture and !
dislocations of the neck yvere by no means unfre- !
quent to those adventurous cuvaliers who should
make up their minds, or rather th-!r bol! t
mount her. But Merton, "albeit unused to the !
hunting mood," was by no means disposed at ihat
moment to dissolve the partnership then subsisting j
between himself and the four-legged pest w hich yvas
capric'ously gambolling over tha country ; and xc-!
cordingly contrive d to attach himself as closely to
the animal as an expectant heir to an expiring rela
tive, and made himself as it were, a part and por
tion of the beast with all the certain security' of a
j.-t ...1. :i - .1. ::.- ? . J
ccnuur, wiine 1110 111111111c encomiums at tne con
clusion oT the day upon the manner in which he
had acquitted himself, drew tears of delight into
the e3'es of Mabel, and caused the face of the t-lder
lady to mautlo with satisfaction.
And noyv more than a month had elapsed, and
the West Indian had been regular' introduced into
the vestibule of the various scithces tc which it
was dce.ned expedient that he should devote his at
tention, and in spite of the athletic strength and
constitution of the squire, he had more than once
contrived to bear away- the palm of merit from hi
competitor. In truth, the severe exercises in which
be yvsis now for the first time a particip itor, had
not only recruited his frame, but had given au im
petus before unlelt to his constitution, and it ws
yvith rather a degree of satisfaction than otherwise
th it ""he obe3'cd the matutinal mandates of the
squire.
It is true there yvere several particular liege
amusements, not altogether recognized by the vota
ries of fashion, iwhich (and he hugged himself in
the conviction) were perfectly unknown to his aris
tocratic friends ; aud if he did occasionally hear
corks drawn at incredibly short intervals, and cheer
fully as-ist in the absorption of the liuid at such
times liberated, who yvus the wiser ! Not he, cer
tainly !
But it yvas deemed high time by the ladies that
these delights should have an end. They thought.
and with reason,' that the too implicit adhered, c to
the squire's yv hints and fantasies yvould not only
furnish forth a bad precedent but superinduce a
fa'al habit in the young man himself The elder
lady knew full well that "if vice by custom grow
not into nature," it is an unsightly graft, neverthe
less. And Mabel said, half upbraidingly, that
"Henry w-s groyvn strangely partial to" papa."
And she began to believe quite seriously that he
was likely to grow strangely inattentive to herself.
But the old gentleman yvould hear of no terms of
a . commodation. He averrr d that he had njt hal
done with the boy 3-et. He protested that his mar
riage yvould be his ruin, and declared that he would
not hear a word about it under penalty of breaking
oil' the match altogether.
" What is to be done?" urged Merton, expostula
ting yvith the ladies in a private conference. "I
solemnly aver that I have done everything in my
poyver to conciliate the squire's esteem, and to de
.verve his friendship. I have tamed his most unruly
horses. 1 have, more than once during our spar
ring exercises, caused him lo adopt an involuntarily
hor.zontal positional, and I have seen him descend
under the horizon of the table in all the glo- of a
setting sun. Can I do inor- ?"
All this, it must be confessed, appeared reasona
ble and ccnsolotary enough, at leant so far as tin-
aiforded evidence of our lover's unchanging affection
and each part3' yvas Lin to yvait paticutlj- for a few
yveiks longer, till some mora auspicious opportuni
ty of compelling the squire to the spirit and letter
of his agreement should occur. But the squire
grew more inflexible daily. He had become attached
to his 3'oung friend, loresaw plainly that his union
yvould caus j an instant and final cessation of the
agreeable course f amusements and companionship,
yy ithout yvhich he verily believed he should not b
able to exist. lie sought, therefore, to put off the
evil da3 to an indefinite period, and yvas impractica
bl3" impatient of any allusion to the subject.
It became at length -too evident to Merton that
steps must be taken forthwith to chock the over
weening self-w ill of the squire, and that such remon
strances should be made as yvould eifcctually con
duce to the end he had riginnl1y piopose l to
himself in his visit to Harbottle Court- Preparato
ry', however, to the discussion of the matter, he
took the opportunity one mnning, when they were
exercising themselves in sparring, to deliver such a
blow at the old gentleman's ribs as could by n in
genuity be likened to anything more nearly, than
to the effort of a giant farn;shed with a sledge
hammer , and having enjoyed for a few moments n
bird's-eye view of his prostrate antagouut, our
gratified boxer betook himself leisurely to the breakfast-table.
Immediately after the concluIon of the
.meal, a propitious silence having presented itself, the
3-outh lifted up his hear; and voice, and yvith inuc'i
Irravitv delivered himself as follows :
" Squire Harlottle, I beg you to bear in mind the
purpose for yvhich I came down."
" What do you mean, my dear fellow yvhat are
3-ou aiming at ?" said Harbottle, in surprise.
44 M3- meaning, squire, ought to bt instantaneous
ly obvious your daughter, sir
44 No. no. ni3 good lad, not a yvord about it, I in
sist a lad of your spirit 1 am surprised !
44 Mr Harbottle," said Merton, solemnly, "the in
stitution of marriage needs no d fence from me ; all
civilized nations have consented that such an insti-
I tution is indispensable. 1 am a candidate for ad.
j mission into that community."
44 Pshayv! stun: vde cant 1 shouted the squire
''It mustn't be I wont permit it."
'4Let me refresh j'our memory by a recital of you
oyvn -condition.?, resumed Merton, in a gradually
enlarging voice. " Sdeath. sir. It must not be tri
lied yvith ! Am I not a Milo in slrencth ?"
4You arc, indeed," groaned the squire, embra .ing
his ribs with much tenderness.
44 Am 1 not a Yprffpt Ximrod in huntimr ? AV as
there ever such a daredevil in the county ? '
'V-o I n.liwif it "
"Was not Bacchus a young gentleman of regular
habits compared y ith me
'He was, he yvas."
"Well, sir, then, yvhat do you mean ?"
"Why," said the squire, coaxingly, "I mean thct
you won't be foolish enough to marry my girl yet..
There's plenty of time ; she's young."
"And I am young," cried Merton, - in a trenzy,.
'which you shall discover to your cost. Hark, you,
sir ; you bave rirssd a demon you- - will vainly en
deavor to quell. It is now mj' turn to triumph. I
shall stop here for life. You have warmed me at
your fire, and I shall sting you to death by way of
acquittance. I shall exterminate 3-our stud ; I shall''
make an end of you ; no cellar shall keep. pace yvitlu
my convivial demand ; I shall"
"Hold, hold!" cried Harbottle, in alarm. 'The
man's mad ! What do you want?"
"Your daughter," raved Merton..
"Take her," said the squire, promptly. "Whero
Is the girl ? WI13-, if the jade has not been laugh
ing behind the windoyv all the time. Stop- in you
wicked minx. What do you say will you have
this furious fellow ?"
'If you wish it, papa, I have always been a duti--ful
child," said Mabel
"And so now tre are nil satisfied, T suppose,"
said the squire, with the air of a man who had acted
con ci entioiifly .
. T "At. tut u, Ur. . 1 IarVottl,'" comludwl t5-wfTe,-.
entering the room, "you have done a sensible thing
for. once in your life."
About a week after, there was an unusual stir at
Harbottle Court, and a bridal party proceeded to the
church yvith becoming solemnity; where the old rec
tor was calmly waiting to officiate ; and there yvas
also the usml amount of rejoicing and merriment
in the neighborhood. An ox yvas roasted ; men
jumped about in saoks ; lads climbed up a greased
pole, to grasp a watch they could not reach ; and
ohl.shoes were thrown for luck after the happj- pair, .
ns they- quitted the eccentric home of the List of tho
old English squires.
