Before and After* GENTLEMAN BEFORE MARRIAGE. My dearest duck, my sweetest girl, I love yoa most sincerely ; I'd rather own this sunny curl Than win a fortune -"early; This little hand, so sott and white, Was only made for kisses: This little form, so frail and light, Waa made for gauzy dresses 1 I'll keep, my Kate, a span of grays, A carriage and a pony; PU go with her to balls and plays, And never speak of money; For her PU buy romances new, Attending to her pleasure. And poems, bound in gold and blue, TU order for my treasure. Our Uvea shall be bnt one sweet dream Of love and sunny weather, No adverse wave snail cross tho stream Of wedded buss forover I AFTER MARRIAGE. You always talk of plays and balls; You are forever flirting, And scribbling rhymes, and making calls, And never making shirting; Yon smile in every whiskered face, Yon chase aU silly fashions; You load with jewels, flaunt in lace, And show your angry passions 1 The baby's left io Cry and moan, I've ne'er a decent dinner; Yon drag me oat, you caU me down I am a ben-pocked sinner, An abject slave-I tell you so 1 Madame I your folly's ended; You shaU not flirt-and go-and go I'm weary and offended; I'm going to a reading-room I'll join a club thereafter So-mend your manners-stay at home, And dry your eyes with laughter 1 LADY BEFORE MARRIAGE. I feel a very solemn sense Of all a woman's duty, To keep within the door yard fence, Unmindful of her beauty; To share her husband's griefs and cares, And, in bis Bhadow walking, Content to mind her own affairs, Bo reverent when he's talking ! ' 'Tis plain, oar Maker did design That womon should be humble ; Not given to looks, nor dressing fine, Which makes them fret and grumble. Those hovels aro pernicious things To feed imagination: All filled with angels shorn of wings To me they are vexation. Dear William, as your wedded wife, I never mean to teaso yon; My aim and pride, through all my life, ShaU only be to please 2 on 1 AFTER MARRIAGE. Bul 1 como down stairs; I know you can ! The baby has the colic: The way you shirk your duties, man, Is truly diabolic ! The nurse haa such a blundering way, She cannot atop its crying, And as for mo, I'm housed all day, Till I am almost dying ! Ann ! ran and bring my velvet sacque, My parasol and bonnet; I'm going to the Messrs. Black, The printers, with a sonnet ! I have no time to write nor read But while he tonda thc baby, You, Sarah, take this book with speed Across to Mrs. Maybe; Ask her to loan mo Hugo's last, In chango for Love's Dilemma There, Bill-don't rock so horrid fast Yoa U wake my darling Emma ! PROPOSING BY LETTElt, . THE RESULT OF GETTING THE EPISTLE INTO THE WRONG ENVELOPE. Eleven o'clock-at least 30 said the golden tide of sunshine, creeping over the velvety turf of the village green, and losing itself in the mur? in....??.us foliage of the maple trees; and so said the little clock in Judge Cornell's law office, on the main street, speaking in a sharp, melodious chime. Harry Grover glanced quietly up at the uncompromising little dial, as he entered the domain of "Coke upon Littleton." "I'm late, this morning," he mut? tered, hanging np his hat behind the door; "but, as good luck will have it, the judge has not made his appear? ance yeti" He was a straight and handsome young fellow, with curly brown hair, limpid hazei eyes, and a healthy flush on his sun-brown cheeks-a young man whom you instinctively felt yon could trust at entrance, as you looked into his frank, honest ?face. There are not many such more's the pity! "Whew-whew-whew," whistled Mr. Harry Grover, turning over his pile of legal documents in a very un? methodical sort of way. "Law and love were never meant to go togeth? er; of that I am certain. Pretty Ariel Browne's blue eyes shine ro? guishly at me from every bit of ?archment or printed blank I touch, [ow lovely she looked, last night who would ever suppose that the old cat with the false curls and the grinning porcelain teeth could be her aunt? Hieb. too. they say; a good match for some desperate fortune hunter, who is willing to swallow the bitter pill for the sake of gold coat? ing. Let me see-talking about old Experience Browne, I believe I have a business letter to write to her about that piece of land by the school? house corners that she wants mo to 'buy. Not I! When I purchase laud for a building spot, it won't bo a desolate pasture, where rocks and mullen stalks fight together to see which shall possess the staunch soil. The old lady must take me for an un? sophisticated character, indeed. I wonder, now, if blue-eyed Ariel will ever bo a catamaran, clutching after bargains. Pooh! I should as soon think of a white-plumed little dove being transformed into a greedy vulture." He leaned back in his chair, with both hands clasped on the top of bia curly head and looked out abstracted? ly into the blushing village street, humming an old tune under his breath-a tuno whoso burden waa "Love, still love." Plainly, Mr. Harry Grover waa very little disposed for work that morning. And when, at 12 o'clock, Judge Cor? nell came in, there was but.a hope? less chaos of papers on the tablo to represent his young partner's matu? tinal labors. "Why, Grover, you ?haven't ac? complished a thing this morning, said the old Judge, glancing keenly around through his antique silver bound spectacles. "I am afraid that the pretty girls at Squire Dooktkorn's party last night, were too much for your mental equilibrium." "Well, you see sir, I've been rather sorting the panors over," said Harry, a little sheepishly, "and I've written two letters this morning!" "Two letters?" "Yes, sir." "Ono was to old Miss Experience Browne, about that lot she wanted to sell me-a regular clipper-giving the old hag a piece of my mind; and the other-" "The other-?" "Ahem-that wasn't exactly a bu? siness letter. Now, Judge, suppose you and I look over these ejectment papers together!" The Judge smiled slyly. Ho had au idea as to what the other con? tained. Every one in town knew how hopelessly Mr. Harry Grover was in love with pretty Ariel Browne. Judge Cornell had been young him? self not so very many years ago. "It's just as wea for the lad tc marry and settlo down," thought the old gentleman ; "and Ariel will cer? tainly make as sweet a little wife as mortal could wish for." Harry needn't have been so mys? terious, sealing and directing his tw( letters at the tall desk behind the office door. Judge Cornell knew just as wei what was in them as if ho had reac every word with his own eyes. Bu: young people have a mistaken idei that old people don't know any thing. Miss Ariel Browne sat in her win dow, busy with a complicated piec< of bright-colored web-work, that la dies call "crochet," when Bridge tapped softly at the panels of thi door. "Please, Miss Ariel, a letter." "A letter-and for me! Dear me Bridget, who can it be from?" "Faix, then, and it's meself tba doesn't know; but Lawyer Grover': office boy brought it, and an impu dent young spalpeen it is, to-" But here Bridget became consciou that her young mistress was payiuj no attention to her, and withdrev into her department of the kitchen there to nurse her grief in solitude. Ariel's cheek had turned as pinl as the inside of a wild rose-bub, n she read the superscription of tb letter; and her heart beat, perhaps i pulso or two faster than was its wont but she broke open the missive wit) a resolute hand, and rend: "My Dear Miss Brown: ["Rathe cold beginning," sho pouted.] must beg leave to decline all furthe negotiations with you. As you can not, for a moment, seriously suppos I care to possess anything so utter! worn-down and good-for-nothing, 1 is useless to waste either of our tim in any moro preliminaries. I wi] call, this afternoon, and return t you the papers you so unnecessaril took tho trouble to send to me. "Yours, very truly, "H. GROVER." Ariel threw down tho note, an burst into tears. "The cold-hearted, presumptuou villain!" she sobbed. "Papers, in deed! I suppose ho means the not I wrote him about the pic-nlc. Ol how foolish I have been-how al surd-and I am rightly punished fe my folly!" But still Ariel wept on. When girl of eighteen has built up a glittei ing castlo in the air, whose foundt tions are laid in her own heart, sb cannot seo it dashed ruthlessly int ruin, without a few natural tears. Meanwhile, Miss Experienc Browne, (etat fifty well ripene autumns, was reading, with no litt] astonishment, the letter whic Bridget's enemy, tho postman, hn brought for her. "Up-on my word!" exclaime Miss Experience, slowly and emphi tically. "Tho impertinent your fortune-hunting humbug. Does I supposo I'm n born fool, to swallo such a pack of sentimental flattery i this? 'Lovely eyes-dimples.' he had said spectacles and wrinkle he'd have been considerably near right. No you don't, my fine fello< no-you-don't! Experience Browi hasn't lived fifty-five years in tl world to fall into such u trap as tl at last. He'll call this afternoon receive the 'answer that is to deci the whole enrrent of his future Hf? will he? Well, lot him call. I'll ready for him, and I'll warrant mo won't be in a hurry to call again." And Miss Experience chuckled herself until all the false curls qui ered, ns sho folded tho lotter neal and put it back into its hurriedly < rected envelope. "I never had an offer of murrin before," sho thought, viewing 1 autumnal countenance in tho p glass, and adjusting the little pu of ribbons in her cap border, "a it does make one feel kinder que It's something to tell of, any wi Bethuar Jones needn't go to sayi now that I was an old maid, because I had never had an offer. I just j wonder what Ariel would say. I guess I won't tell her; Bhe would only laugh at me-" "Mr. Grover!" . ..Show him ,in, Biddy, I am quite at leisure to receive him." And our hero, entirely innocent of the pending storm that was awaiting him, walked into Miss Experience's awful presence, with a bundle of title deeds iu his hand, tied with the official looking red tape of his pro? fession. "Good afternoon. Miss Experi? ence." "Ain't you ashamed of yourself, Harry Grover?" ejaculated the spin? ster, in a deep, stern voice. "Get along with yourself, makin' love to au old woman niore'n twice as old ns you bo, just because she's got a little money? What do you take mo for, hey? Don't stand stariu' there! Walk out of tho room, quick, or I'll throw the big dictionary at your head! No, no, no! Now you have got your answer plain enough! I wouldn't marry you if there wasn't another man in tho whole of the town!" Harry Grover was a little appalled nt this charge of horse nud foot, but he stood his ground manfully, not even quailing at the big dictionary. "But, Miss Browne, will you hear mo a moment? I don't want you to marry me. What has put this strange fancy into your head?" "You don't want to marry me? Then what in the mischief docs this letter mean, I'd like to know." "May Hook at it?" Harry took the letter and glanced at it. Its contents threw a new light on the unaccountable state of affairs. "Good Cupid! what a blockhead what an unmitigated, inexcusable, incomparable donkey I have been! What could I have been thinking about?" "Hey?" demanded tho puzzled spinster. "Excuso me, ma'am, but thero has been-a-" And without stopping to complete his fragmentary sentence, he rushed out of the room to tho little bay window parlor, where Ariel usually sat. "Well, I never!" exclaimed Miss Experience, as the door bauged un? ceremoniously in her face. "Ariel! Miss Browne!" But Ariel turned haughtily from the pleading eyes of her love~r. "Your letter is quite sufficient, sir; I need no further exponent of your meaning." "Ariel-darling-thero has been an absurd mistake; this is tho lotter that was intended for you. The other was written to your aunt on busi? ness, and by some unaccountable blunder got into tho wrong envolope! I have been a fool-a blockhead, but I love you, dearest, with all my heart! Ariel! you will not send mo away?" No-Ariel did not send him away, for the shy smiles and rosy bloom wero beginning to como back to her face, as she read tho real letter. "But, Harry!" she said, with a roguish dimple at the corner of her mouth, "you must confess that Aunt Experience's noto had rather an un? pleasant style." "I was a careless reprobate," said Harry, frankly, "but you seo Judge Cornell was watching me." And that was tho end of all this misunderstanding betweeu Harry Grover and Ariel Browne, thence? forth, forever. Miss Experience was rather disap? pointed in two things. She would like to have sold tho school-house "corner lot," and she would like to have said, that once, in the courso of hor fifty-five years of life, she had an offer of marriage. "However," said Miss Experience, "Ariel is very happy, and maybe things aro best as they are." DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. MUNICIPAL OFFICERS-CITY COLUMBIA. For Mayor. COL. J. P. THOMAS.
