THE HASHFUL LOVER.
BONE BROWN IV A FR ACTICAL JOKE.
Black, White and Brown, were young
men, in some respects very young the
first especially, for they were inexperi
enced, thoughtless, and giddy, to many
' degrees beyond the average. But they
were generous, warm hearted fellows,
notwithstanding, and would rather have
had a tooth-ach a piece than given pain,
wilfully, to a man, woman or child
to horse ,dog, or cat.
The trio lived together in the same
boarding-house, more like brothers than
! friends, united in every thing bulone-
a desperate passion for Miss lheodoru
Wilmot. Thai was Brown's secret, in
which tho two other young men, how
ever, went partners; and many a rally-
mg the lover nau to uear cn me sunjeci
from h'i3 heart-whole companions.
u ! 'e jests at scars who never felt a wound."
But, like Benedict, the inamorato was
too far gone in love for a whole college
of wit crackers to float him out of his
humor. With such a fiaroe as he had
in his bosom, burning as he did, one of
Lcve's martyrs, he might well dispise a
few squibs; besides the wags would give
over when he was once married But
there was the rub, he was one of those
of the most shv and difidentof mankind
j the most bashful bachelor that ever
j blushed all the shades of miiwaise hon-
le, from a warm flesh color up to a rose
j damask the most shrinking of all the
tli3 race of Sensitives. How could
such a man propose? A thousand times
lie determined to break the ice, but
the ubsenceofany real competitor, they
invented one, as formidable a heart
catcher in personal graces and accom
plishments as ever was manufactured
for a novel. A six foot fellow in his
stockings; White even estimated his
height at another inch taller and then
such black glossy riuglets, and black
eyes, with an aquiline nose, and a fine
ly chiselled mouth, a capital chin, and
such an exquisite complexion, and w hat
a noble bust, and yet so quiet and gen
tlemanly; for Black and White to avoid
inconsistency, agreed to describe their
imaginary hero from a certain haidres
ser's window. And the bait took.

j you-please oc!ocU, tho deripateic lover
I arrived at the door of his-lady lova
and raised his hand towards the lion's
head, his heart, though forestalling him,
and with a rapid series of little thumps
and big ones, giving as good an imita
tion as human heart can, of a footman's
thundering double knock. His hand
tried to copy it, but it was a sad bungle,
for after two cr three little uncertatn,
unmeaning taps, as if tho wind had done
it, and then a pause, he let the iron
knob fall with a loud, abrupt bang, as
if it had burnt his fingers. The mo
ment afterwards he repeated, and wish
ed there was such a thing asuuknoclt
ing, as well as unbuttoning or unpick
ing; but the irrevocable sound went its
course through the hall and through
the car of John Footman, till it played
a tattoo on its drum. And so John
went up stair, and through the hall, he
and opened the door, catching Mr.Hrown

At last, it occurred to his two.backers, conscious cow, or innocent donksy, or

In (lie mean lime Black and White,
over their tea, discussed the chancea
for and against tho success of the woo
er, and settled that the odds were some
thing like all St. George's. Hanover
Square, to dissenting chapel in his fa
vor. In reality he was rather well
looking than otherwise, with an -elegant
figure, a good address, and pleasing
manners iuch a person as few young'
ladies, if disengaged, would be likely U
refuse, nd as to any rival, they had
never heard or seen any trace of one,
except the fellow with the ringlets, and
of him only his figure-head. It was a
favorable sign, besides, that Brown's
visit was such a long one: hour struck
after hour, but he did not return how
could he! Doubtless, having told hi
love, he had extorted a mutual confes
sion in return, and was enjoying that
sweet confidence between young hearts,
for which the longest day a bittock
would hardly seem long enough!
Nine! Ten! Eleven and still ho
came not; nor yet at Twelve; when tho
pair determined to wait no longer, but
to retire to their bsls. In the way to
their rooms they had to pass BrownV
chamber, the door of which stood wide
open; and amongst other prominent
objects within, Black's eye was attract
ed by a very large stout hook project,
ing from a beam on the wall. The hint
was enouhg. In his own room he kept
a stout cord, to escape by from his first
floor window, in case of fire. This
rope he fetched, made a slip noose in it,
most scientifically, and then fastened
the other end to the hook. White
looked on, till the apparatus was com
plete, and then with the burnt end of a
stick inscribed on the wall
FOR A REJECTED LOVER.
It wasi capital joke by tho amount
of their laughter, but suddenly turned
rather grave. Suppose, said he, thai
by any chance she should refuse him;
he will perhaps take it in dudgeon and
besides he would be terribly cut up,
poor fellow, and I should be sory to
vex him
Not he said Black. She is sure to
have him, and he will return in such
raptures, that the worst joke in the
world would seem the best in it, and
set him crowing like a cock! But be
will want something to throw himself
off from and with a chuckle he push
ed a chair immediately under the rope.
The friends then shook hands, bade
each other good night, and went to bed
and from bed to sleep, as sound as
tops. Black dreamt of nothing; White
had a vision of Brown's weeding, and
that he fe'lin love with the bridesmaid,
but all the amenities of the dreamgra
dually vanishes, till afAer several ob
scure entanglements he found himself
