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."
