[From Graham's Magazine.] SQUIRE LONGBOW'S SECOND MARRIAGE. 44 Squire Longl?ow sincerely mourned the loss of his wife?internally and externally. Externally, he was one of the strongest mourners I ever saw. He wore a weed, floating from his hat, nearly a foot long. It was the longest weed that had ever been mounted ui l'uddleford ; but our readers must not forget who Squire Longbow was? a magistrate, and leudmg man in community. And while the aeader is about^-k, he may also recollect tWat^the Squire ja not the only man, east or west, who haayentuied upon a little ostentation over the /ftrave of the departed?inifcswoman neither/ Who was to be the uext Mrs. Dao^tsnw ? That was the question. The public, indeed, nylfiiil it lf?n<f li/ifcri* tha Wnnieo W/U -% .. . ? ~ V..? to have the honor of presiding at 7be . Squire's table) What woman was to heplaced at the head of society, in Puddicford ? The Swipeses and Beagles, Aunt Sunora, Aunt Graves, and Sister Abigail, and scores of others, all began to specttlalo upon this important subject. Even Turtle and Bates indulged in a few generul remarks. Aunt Sonora gave it as her mind, " the Squire ought to bo pretty skeery how he married jwiybody, kase if he got one of them flipper tergibbet sort o' wimmen, she'd turn the whole house enaide out, Rnd he'd be one of the most miserablest of all men." She said " if he know'd what was good for himself, he'd jest keep clear of all the young gals that were fussing and tigoling round him, aud go right in for some old stand-by of a woman, that know'd how to take the brunt of things?but, lors-a-mc," continued Aunt Sonora. " th OTa'a nr* Hrtln.* nAtliin? I -? ? --- ? -?.... s with these oh! widowers?they're nil like my Uncle Jo, who married in a hurry, and repented arterwards?and the poor denr old soul nrii't had a minute's peace since." 4 ..The Swipeses and Iieagles, who, it will be recollected, belonged to a clique that had in tilnes past, warred against Longbow <k Co., tho't it would be shameful for the Squire to marry at all?it would be uu insult agin the memory of poor old Mrs. Longbow, who was dead and gone." (Some people, you know, reader, abuse llio living, but defend the dead.) M And if the Squire should mar* Z, they should think for their part, that e'd rise up oat of her grave, and haunt hiua! She could never sleep easy, if she kaow'd that the Squire had got some othor woman, who was eating her presarves, and wearing out her clothes, and lording it over the house like all possess'd." Other opinions were expressed by other persons?in fact, the Souire's widowhood was the great concern of l'uddleford. " lie was so well on to do," as Aunt Sonora used to call it, that he was considered a great V catch." After a few weeks of sorrow, the Squire At ii? sat - ... nimseir really oegan to entertain notions ot matrimony. It is true, lie lml parsed the age of sixty, nod it required a great effort to get up a sufficient amount of romance to carry out saoh an enterprise, symptoms began, however, to wax strong. The first alarming indication was hie attendance at church. The Squire had always been a kind of a heathen, in this respect, and had for many years aet a poor example; but people, who want to uiarry, will go to church. <Wh?ther this is done to get up a reputation, or simply to take a survey of the unappropriated female slock yet remaining on hand, I cannot say, The Squire waa " fixed up " amazingly, the first time I saw him at cburoh. His hair bad been cut, And thoroughly greased. His shirt-collar covered his ears; And his boots shone like a mirror. Aunt Sonora said ha looked " ony most as good as new." Aunt Graven waa in the choir that day, and she song as she never sang before. She bltyked all the heavy strains of tnusio? strains that lifted her on her toes?directly into Squire Longbow's face. Whether Aunt Graves had any design in this, is more than I can say; but I noticed some twinges about the Squire's lips, and a sleepy wink of the eye, that looked a little like magnetism. It was ridiculous, too, that such an old castle should be stormed bv music. But the Squire exhibited other symptoms of matrimony, lie grew more pompous in his decisions, disposed of cases more summarily, and quoted law-latin more frequently. It was about this time that he talked about the 44 nux vomica " instead of41 vox Populi." lie used to 41 squash " proceedings before the case was half presented ; and, in the language of Turtle, 44 he tore around at a T ..? . ?J.I n--? .,v?? * ?ii.o omu Hie oia rvquire was gelling to be an old fool, and lie was goin1 to liavo him married, or dismissed from ofliee?thero wnrn't no livin with him." There were a great many anxious mothers about Tuddleford, who were very desirous of forming an nllianco with the Longbow family. Even Mrs. Swipes, as much as she openly opposed the Squire's marriage in general, secretly hoped a spark might be struck up between him and hor daughter, Mary Jane Arabella Swipes; and Mrs. Swipes was in tho habit of sending her daughter over to tho Squire's house, to inquire of him " to know if she couldn't do smnthiu' for him in his melancholy condition," and Sister Abigail went several times to " put things to lights," and was as kind and obliging, and attentive to nil the Squire's wants, as ever Mrs. Longbow was in her palmiest days. On these occasions. Sister Abigail used frequently to remind the Squire of " his great bereavement, and what an angel of a wife he had lost; and things didn't look as they used to do, when she was around, and she didn't wonder lie took on so, when the poor thing died." Hut, reader, Ike Turtle had ordered things otherwise. Jle was determined to strike up a match between the Squire and Aunt Graves. So Ike made a special visit to Aui l Graves one evening, for the purpose of "surveying and sounding along the coast, to see how the waters laid, and how the old soul would take it," to use his language. I have already given an outline of Aunt k... i ...:u - f- ? -.."w , win * win iivw ?.iy inruier, iiial she, never had an ofler of matrimony in her whole life.- Sh<i' was what ij torniod a " touchy " old maid. She professed to' hate men, and alfectcd great distress of mind when thrown into their society. Aunt Graves was just ironing down the seams of a coat that she had finished, when Ike called. Ike opened the conversation by remind* ing Aunt Graves that "she was livin' along kiuder lonely like." " Lonely 'nough, 1 s'poseshe replied, snappishly. " Don't you never have the blues, and get sorter obstrep'rous (" Aunt Graves " didn't know as she did." ' Why, in the name of old Babylon, don't you marry I" ' "Marry! Me marry?marry, a man?a great, awful man !'' and the trou llew through the seams like lightning. ? " Yes," continued Ike, " marry?marry a man?why, woman, you are getting as old and yellow as autumn leaves. What have you been livin for ??you've broken all the laws of Scripter inter pieces?and keep on breakin'on'em?adding sin unto sin, and transgrcssiou unto transgression, and the thinggoi-ter t-e slopped. .Now, Aunt Graves, what do you think?there's Squire Longbow, as desolate as Sodom, and he's got-ter have a woman, or the old man'll run us crazy us n loon u-lhinkin' 'bout his household affairs; and you know how to cook, and to wash, and to iron, to make pickles and soap ; and then, you're a proper age? what say ?w Aunt Graves ran to the fire, plunged her goose into the ashes, and gave the coals a smart stir. She then dropped down iu her large locking chair, leaned her cheek upon her elbow, fixed ber eyes upon the floor, and came near going off into hysterics. Ike dashed a little water into Aunt Graves' face, and she revived. After having gained strength, she replied in substance to Ike's query in a very languishing, die away air: 44 She couldn't say?she didn't know? if it was a duty?-if she could ready believe it was a duty?if sho was called on to fill poor old dead-andgone Mrs. Longbow's place?folks were born iuter the world to do good, and she had so far been one of the snoit unprofi(ab!e#t of servants; hut che would never marry on her own account?" 44 In other words," exclaimed Ike, cutting her short. 44 von'll tro it." Aunt Graves agrcod to " reflect on't." It was not long after this consultation thnt Mrs. Swipes began to 44 smell a rat," as she said. She commanded Mary Jane Arabella " never to darken tho doors of that old hog, Longbow, agin ; and as for that female critter, Graves, she'd got a husband living down at the Kast'ard, and they'd all get into prison for life, the first thing they know'd." Bister Abigail declared " she'd have Aunt Graves turned out of church, if 9he married a man who wariv't a member." This was a great deal for Sister Abigail to say, for she had been the bosom friend of Aunt Graves ; " people out of the church and people In the church, shouldn't ortcr jine themselves to gethor-?it was agin Scriptcr, and would get every tiling inter a twist." I; But Iko Turtle bad decreed that the marriage should go on. Lie even went so far ii as to indite the first letter of the Squire's to ii Aunt Graves. This letter, which Iko exhib- u ited to his friends, as one of his best literary r specimens, was indeed a curiosity. I pre- ti suiue there is nothing else like it on the face t of the globe. It opened by informing Aunt 1 Graves that since the " loss of his woman, e ho had felt very grcvious-like, and couldn't ? fix his mind onto anything?that the world 1 didn't seem at all as it used to do?that he r and his woman had liv'd in peace for thirty c years, and the marriago state was nat'ral to s him?that he had always lik'd Aunt Graves a since the very first time he see'd her,and so t did his woman, tooand many more de- 1 durations of similar import, and it was sign- < eu " J. Liongoow, justice of tlio i'euce," and sealed, too, like his legal processes, that his dignity might command, even if his persoti did not win the affections of this elderly damsel. Aunt Graves surrendered?and all this 5 within two months after the death of Mrs. i Longbow. The Squire cast off his weeds, t and made violent preparations for matiimo- < ny ; and on a certain night?I shall never < forget it?the atlair came off. 1 There was a great gathering at the I Squire's?a sort of general invitation had < been extended far and near?the Swipes and ' Beagles, Aunt Sonora, and all. Great prep- 1 aration had been made in the way of eata- i hies. The Squire was rigged in a new suit ' of " home made" (made by Mrs. Longbow, too, in her life time,)?a white vest, and he 1 woro a cotton bandana neck handkerchief, with heavy bows, that buried his chin, and a pair of pumps and clouded-blue stockings. Aunt Graves' dress cannot bo described. She was a mass of fluttering ribbons, and ' she looked as though she would take wings i and fly away. ? Bigelorv Van Slvck ami Ike Turtle con- ] ducted the marriage ceremony?the one r took the ecclesiastical, the other the civil management. When the couple were ready, Turtle sat down in front of them with the statutes under Iris arm, with Bigelow at his right band. ' Turtle examined the statutes amid profound silence for some time, turning down ' one leaf here and another there, until li?l. found himself thoroughly prepared for the solemn occasion. Finally, he arose, and 1 with a gravity that ho man ever put on before or since, exclaimed? " Miss Graves, hold up your right hand and swear." Miss Graves said " she was a member of the church, and dar'sent swear." Ike said it was " legal swearing he want- ? cd, 'cording to the staterts?not the wicked r sort?he wanted her to swear that she was over fourteen years of age?hadn't got no , husband living, nowhere?warn't goin' to , practice no fraud nor riothiVon Squire Longbow?and that bhoM jest as good a , right to get married now as she cvdr had." ( Miss Graves looked blank. _ Squire Longbow said " he'd run tho risk of tho fourteen years of ago and tho fraud, , and finally he woujd of tho wholo on't.

Anne Hathaway. The following lines, attributed to Win. shakspeare, says the Charleston Mercury, ive have never met with anywhere except in lie volume bifore us, the " History and l'oitry of Finger Kings," bv Charles Edwards, )f Now York. Speaking of a ring which ivas found a few years ago, which had beonged to Shakspeare, and had the true lov;r's knot upon it, the author says; "there s reason to supposo that the ring was the gift of Anne Hathaway, she " who had as much virtue as could dio." And we must bo allowed to indulge in the idea, that it was pressing Shakepeare's linger, when those lines were inscribed : ro THE IDOL OF MINE EVES AND THE DELIGHT OK MINE HEART, ANNE HATHAWAY. Would ye be taught, ye feathered throng, Willi love's sweet notes to grace your song, lo pierce the heart with thrilling lay, Listen to mine Anno Hathaway ! She Hath a way to sing so clear, Phoebus might wond'ring stop to hear; ro melt the sad, make blithe the gay, And nature charm, Anne Ilalli a way; She Hath a way, Anno Hathaway, l'o breathe delight Anne Ilath a way. When envy's breath and rancorous tooth Bo soil and bite fair worth and truth, And merit to distress betray, l'o soothe the heart Anne uath a way, she hatii a wav to chase despair, l'o heal all grief, to cure all care, Turn foulest night to fairest day ; 1'hou know'st, fond heart, Anne hath a wav; She hath a wav, Anne Hathaway, To make grief bliss Anne hatii a way. Talk not of gems, the orient list, The diamond, topaz, amethyst, The emerald mild, the ruby gay ; Talk of gem, Anne hath a way 1 sbejiath a way, with her bright eyo, Their varum* lustre to defy. The jewel she, and tho foil they, So sweet to look Anne hatii a way ; She hatii a wav, Anne Hathaway, To shame bright gems Anne hath a way. But were it to my fancy given To rate her charms, I'd called them Heaven: Kor though a mortal made of clay, Angels must love Anne Hathaway. iho hatii a way so to control, To rupture the imprisoned soul, And sweetest Ileaven on earth display, That to he Heaven Anne uath a way, She hath a wav, Anne Hathaway, lo he lluaven's self Anne hatii a way. An Unfowtunatk Habit.?Some persous ire in the habit of dwelling upon and gieaty magnifying every little injury they receive it the hands of others. They thus render hemsclves very disagreeable to those in Aboso ears they are continually pouring heir complaints ; and at the same time reatly injure themselves in the estimation jf such, whilst they are contributing very tiuch to their own personal misery. How nuch better would it In*, were such person* o bury their little troubles, or at least to ceop them entirely out of sight! It is to be >resumed that thoy do not sufliciently reflect ipon the true naturo of their conduct, else hey would bo more careful to avoid it than .hey are. Jamieson forcibly exposes (be *rent folly of such conduct by the following (lustration: " A man strikes mo with a iword, and inflicts a wound.

A few weeks since, some unknown persons u antered a fashionable boarding house near ai Summer-street, kept by Mrs. M., and passed bi from one boarder's room to another, making w assessments of such articles as they liked ai best, and after making a liberal collection, 1c left the place unseen and unharmed. Among ni the boarders whose goods and chattels were s| thus unceremoniously taken away, was Mrs. n 11., a fair daughter of the sunny South, who a happened to be spending the winter in the ti City of Notions, llcr loss consisted of a w beautiful velvet hat. a As soon as the theft was discovered, the b police were consulted, and everything done to remove the mystery, hut all to no pur- si pose. n Hut as murder will enmn out sr? will !?? . I ceny, sometimes, and this was not long to r remain a secret. 1 As Mrs. II. was walking Washington t street one of the pleasantest days last week, fi imagine her surprise in passing a large and n masculine looking woman, dressed in the t height of fashion, with hoops and crinoline, t and having upon her head the identical vel- ii vet hat which she had lost. What was to n be done.? What could be done? Every o step was taking the bor.net from its owner, i: who was alone and a stranger in the city. I It did not take her long to decide. f She started ip the snnjc direction, and 1 soon was along side the velvet hat. c ' Where do you reside, madam ?" i " In Court," was the reply. 1 " A rtA vnn froinrr home ?" c "J ? O O V " I am." " Go on and don't let me hinder you." a And onward they walked, now to the e right and now to the left. At length they a entered a dark alley, and after passing seve- g ral dismal abodes, they halted at a door. c Do you live here !" 1 " 1 do?on the second floor." & ' Go up, then, for I havo business with & you." They entered. j After going up two flights of stairs, they I reached a room in which they found live v women. They entered the room, and here p our heroine made her business known, r Posting herself by the door with a calm, but 1 defiant look, she demanded of the woman r to know where she obtained the velvet hat, t and also the shawl and the basque upon her f person. f " 1 bought them," was the reply. i " No, you did not, they were stolen ; and ? now take them off immediately." 1 Had a bombshell exploded in the room, t the confusiou could not have been greater, Put, great as it was, it did not intimidate ? the owner of the velvet hat in tl:o least do- 1 gree. It only changed the happy and fas- f cinating look of a Cromwell. v "Now bo quiet and own up, and bring r forward the stolen goods, for it will be bet > ter for you. And now seeing that I have 1 found the goods, and the thief, no doubt, 1 1 am going for an officer. See that none of i you leave the room or disturb any article while I am gone." While descending the stairs, our heroine' e-spied a doctor on his way to visit the sick, . and asked his as istance. " I have," said she " found some stolen s property, and have it secure in this house ; . will you call an officer to assist mo in re- . moving it." The doctor readily asseutod, and while he v sought for policemen, she still guarded her a trust. At length the doctor, with four pol- s icctnen, arrived, when our heroine transferred 11 the custody of botli persons and property to ' the officers of the law. The remainder of 1 the stolen property was soon found, and the , lady relieved of her borrowed plumage, was , provided with rooms at the Cambridge street Jail, where she still remains, waiting tho sentence of the law.
