?MWMilliULWili ? HI HI" * r THE BASHFUL MA^. ' The following st<?ry was published in onoof the American annuals. Many of onr renders, probably, have never scon it. It is one of the host stories, of the humorous kind, ever written. It will hear repetition. As mv object is but to give a specimen of the numerous misfortunes that incessantly beset me the moment t appear in ladies' .society, I shall merely speak of - '1 - A 1 ^ * /^innDV in inose mai nerei me m me um? ... Paris to which I was invited. Though laden with introductory letters, I never delivered another. I pass by the various efforts 1 made hefore I could muster sufficient resolution to deliver to Madame (). the one that procured for me, and a friend who came with ine, the dinner in question. I pass by mv trepidation at the everlasting peal with which the bell re?|>orided to my timid touch. Scarcely could I distinguish the Parlez an Suisse over the porter's lodge, where orobubly Swiss never stood sinca its erection. I pass by several minor blunders ; such as asking the porter to direct us to ".la chumbre de Madame" moaning her drawing-room. Suffice it to say, that my less nervous companion, dictionary in hand, boldly led the way; that having traversed a good number of courts and stairs, we at length arrived safely at an ante-room, where stood a servant,before a pair of folding doors, which he threw wide open, and announced us by a pair <jf names, that we should never have recognized as our own, had we met them elsewhere. Already agitated, and perspiring with nervous trepidation, this ostentatious mode of entrance, .so different from the republican simplicity to which I was accustomed, waa a formidable trial to mc. My cheeks tingled, my knees trembled, and mv heart beat violently. I slunk silently behind my unabashed companion, and endeavored to gather sufficient courage to concea' the tremor that shook me like an ague-fit. Madame 0. rose to receive us; and, as we approached her, it became necessary that i should deploy?. from behind my friend. But in so doing, ] did not notice a large pet dog, who, comfortably stretched on a red velvet cushion, lay napping beside his mistress, directly in my path. On I went, anxious only to get thiough the introductory ceremonies as soon as possible, and then to ensconce myself in some remote corner, whf.re* "'ftikworld forgetting, by the world forgot," | might escape all uolice or remark. But truly, says the French proverb, " Man proposes, but God disposesand verv unfortunate were his dispositions for my intention. As I hastened on. all glowing with confusion, and quaking with fright, just as I began my bow, I stumbled over the detested pet, and was suddenly precipitated head foremost, like au ancient buttering.ram, into the lap of Miss P.; overturning episodically a countryman of my own who was seated next to her, bafancing his chair on its two hind legs. To save himself, he instinctively grasped the buck of her chair ; and his weight at her rear, ncting at the same moment thai I was hurled at her in front, decided all hes. ilation, and over we all rolled together, the chairs uppermost. The vile cur who had been at the bottom of the whole mis. chief, seized me bv the leg, and. receiv. ing a beartv kirk in return, added his howling to the chorus of dismay that now filled the apartment. Happilv, the female sufferer in this mile engrossed all the sympathy and attention of the company ; but 1 well knew, that in the short minute that had elapsed since I had entered the apartment, I had made three mortal enemies of a man, a dog and a ladv. For mv own part, as ?oon a I had extricated myself from the terrible crash, confusion, and shame, I retreated into the most obscure corner of the room, where I sought to hide mvself and mv overwhelming rnortifie tion behind the P .ests who were lounging about there. The call to dinner served as a relief to my embarrassment; for I hoped that would engross every one's attention, which now. I could not help feeling, must he occupied with my awkwardness. Following the company to the dining-room. *v I saw that each plate contained a card, on which was written the name of the guest who was to occupy the place thus designated. Every one seemed to find his own place bv magic ; but for me, four or five times did I make the circuit of the table, looking in vain for mine. Indeed, ( know not but I might have continued running about all dinner time unnoticed among the crowd of servants, had not Madame O.'seyes at length detected me as I circled round and round with an hysterically-increasing rapidity, my eyes dim with confusion, and clammy perspiration bedewing every pore of my body ; ^ and I at length sunk into my seat, when 7 found, tairly exhausted witli mortificaton and shame. Here, again, I found myself embarrassed with myjiat, which, having observed that al^retained in the drawing, rrtnm I <*t i 11 arnsr?fid with nervous oertin " " *? - I I aeity. This I at length disposed of. as I thought at the time, with wonderful ingenuity; for I hung it by the brim between my knees, spreading my handkerchief over its open cavity. My seat was next to a young lady, whom of course I was expected to entertain. I entertain! Wofully already, had I entertained the company, but I found myself infinitely better adapted to entertain a company en masse than singulatun. TJi^ordinury routine of a French dinner now commenced. Soup and bomllie, fish, fowl, and flesh ; entremets and hors (Voecresi while a series of servants appeared each instant at our elbows, inviting us to partake of a thousand different dishes, and as miwiy kinds of wines, all ,v!v_ tiiiduF alongs oCjfraica which I no mu;u I . _____ mm* understood, than I understood their composition, or than thoy did my gaiicherics. Resolute to avoid all further opportunities for disj?layin^ my predominant trait, I sat in the most obstinate silence, saying yes* to every thing that was offered me, and eating with most devoted application, till, in an evil hour, my fair neighbor, weary of mV taciturnity and her own, at length herself began a conversation, 1?y inquiring i how I was pleased with the opera. The question was put at an unlucky moment. I was just raising a large morsel of potatoe to inv mouth ; and in order to reply as quickly as possible, I hastily thrust it in, intending to swallow it instantly.? Heavens ! it was as hot as burning lava ! What could [ do? The lady's eyes were fixed on me, waiting a reply to her ques. tion. But mv mouth was in flames. In vain I rolled the burning morsel hither and thither, rocking my head from side to side, while my eyes, which involuntarily I had fixed on her, were strhining from their sockets. She regarded my grim, accs, of the cause of which I believe she was ignorant, with amazement and surprise, at which I can laugh now when I think of it. " You're sick. Sir ?*' at length she gently, and in an anxious tone inquired. I could bear no more. My mouth was J flayed with the burning mass, and smart, ing with intolerable pain; so, quietly abandoning the point, I opened it to its : utmost, and out dropped the infernal firebrand into my plate. Not the slightest tendency to a smile visibly ruffled the \ imperturbable politeness of the woman. She soothingly condoled with my misfor. tune and then gradually led the conversa. tion to a variety of topics ; till exerting the magic influence that true politeness always exercises, I began even to forget my own blunders. Gradually my cheeks burned less painfully, and I could even ??- -? Urf-w AAni/orootiAn w11 Kni11 I Hp fnnr jlllll lilt; t,llllicil?f|liwi| n ?w I that every word [ uttered shared the fate of every action I attempted* I even ventured to hope, nav, to congratulate mys"lf, that the catalogue of 'iny calamii ties was completed for the day. " Let no one call himself hnppv before death." said Solon; and he said wisely. The ides of March were not yet over.? Before us stood a dish of cauliflower, nicely done in butter. This I naturally enough took for a custard-pudding, which it sufficiently resembled. Unfortunately, I my vocabulary was not yet extensive j enough to embrace all the technicalities ! of the table; and when mv fait neighbor j inquired if I was fond of choufteur, I verij ly took it to be the French for custard. 1 pudding; and so high was my panegyric I of it, that my plate was soon bountifully laden with it. Alas! one single mouthful was enough to dispel my allusion. Would | to Heaven that thechoufleur had vanished ! along with it. But that remained bodi. I ly ; and, almost as large, and as burning , as Vesuvius, mv heart died within me. | # j Ashamed to confess mv mistake, though I could almost as readily have swallowed an equally quantity of soft soap, [ struggled manfully on against the diabolical compounds. I endeavored to sap the | mountainous heap at his base, and, shut| ting mv eyes and opening my mouth, to i inhume as large masses as I could without ! stopping to taste it. But my stomach ; soon began, intelligibly enough, to intii v ? _ r 1 | mate its intention to anmti no more 01 i this nauseous stranger beneath its roof, f . . . ; if not even expelling that which had al- j S ready gained an unwelcome admttancc. The seriousness of the task I had un] dertaken. and the resolution necessary i to execute it, had given an earnestness : and rapidity to my exertions, which appe! tite would not have inspired; when my plate, having somehow got over the edge of the table, upon tny leaning forward, tilted up, and down slid the disgusting mass into mv lap. Mv handkerchief, una hie to hear so weighty a load, bent under it in its turn, and a great portion of | it was thus safely deposited in my hat.? The plate instantly rijhted itself, as I raised my person ; and as I glanced iny eve round the table, and saw that no one j had noticed mv disaster, I inwardly conj grntulated rnvself that the nauseous dej ('option was so happily disposed of. Re. j solving not to he detected, I instantly rolled mv handkerchief together with all | its remaining contents, and whipped it inI to mv pocket. The dinner table was at length deserted ^ 1' - ? ? O nrl Tor ine nrawing nium, >v<igic nnu ! liqueurs were serve 1 round. Meantime, I I had sought out what [ considered a ! safe hiding-place for my hat, beneath a j chair in the dining-room, for I dared | not cnrrv it longer in my hand ; having ' first thrown a morsel of paper into the j crown, to hide the cauliflower from view, : should any one chance, in seeking for his : own hat, to look into mine. On mv return to the drawing-room, i I chanced to he again seated by the lady, j by whom I had set at dinner. Our con| versation was naturally resumed; and we j were in the midst or an animated discus' sion, when a huge spider was seen run} ning, like a race horse, up her arm. ' Take it off?take it off!' she ejaculai ted, in a terrified tone. I was always afraid of spiders?so to ; avoid touching him with my hand, T t. ? i 11 uur iv,. i caugru my nmnmeruuici ? *??*i mr and e.lappcd it at once upon the miscreant, j who was already mounting over her temi pie with rapid strides. Gracious heaven! I had forgotten the cauliflower, which now plastered over her face like an enrolI lient poultice, fairly killing the spider, ! and blinding an eye of the lady ; while j tiule streamlets of soft butter glided down i her beautiful neck and bosom. 44 Mori (lieu! inon dicu !" exclaimed the astonished fair. 4 Mon fticu /' was echoed from evcr.y 1 mouth. j 4 Have you cut your head V inquired ^onr\, ? * < V mra?fyr'T'.T.ni^'.ia!^ g-i'rwwiBWB?win? fellow has crushed the spicier' What a quantity of entrails !' ejacula- | ted an astonished Frenchman, uncon- y sciouslv to himself. u Well might he be astonished. The .0 spray of the execrable vegetable had spat- * tered her dress from head to foot. For Q myself, the moment the accident oc- i| cured, I had mechanically returned my tl handkerchief to my pocket, but its con- li tents remained. * What a monster it must have been !' observed a young lady, as she helped to 1 relieve my victim from her cruel situa- J tion. * I declare I should think he had been living on a cauliflower.' At that moment, I felt some one touch v me; and turning, I saw my companion who had come with me. Look at your pantaloons,' he whispered. , Already half dead with confusion at the disaster I had caused, I cast my eyes upon my once white dress, and saw at a gla nee the horrible ex tent of my dilemma. I had bcr:n sitting upon the fated pocket, and had crushed nut the liquid butter, 4 and the soft paste-like vegetable, which ^ had daubed and dripped down them, till t] it seemed as if I were actually dissolving in my pantaloons. il Darting from the spot, [ sprang to the b place where I had left rny hat; but before I could reach it, a sudden storm of wrath was heard at the door. * Sacr-r-f-e ! bete !

Suddenly there was a pause? u a gurgling sound, as of one swallowing involuntarily?and tho atorin of wrath _ again broke out with redoubled fury. I seized mv hat, and opened the door, and J the whole matter was at once explained. ^ We had exchanged hats; and there he ^ stood, the soft cauliflower gushing down a his checks, blinding his eves, filling his d mouth, hair, mustachios, ears and whis- u kers. Never shall I fyrget that spectacle! There he stood astride, like the colossus, nnd stooping gently forward, his eyes for. . r-ihi v r-lnwnrl hi?i nrmu hnld rlrnoni nf nut I ? ~..,v ? ,?? from his body, and dripping cauliflower d and butter at every pore. I staid no longer ; hut, retaininig his hat, I rushed from the house, jumped into a fiacre, nnd arrived safely at home ; heartily resolving, thai: to my last hour I f would never again deliver a letter of in.troduction. * tl HEAD QUARTERS, c Clarendon, Nov, 8, 1841. j1 Orders No?

During this period the young person is not satisfied with that kind of instruction which is given to 'mere children. Something more elevated?something nearer the studies sua pursuits of active life is required. A friend always at hand who could point nut the proper studies to be pursued, the true methods of deveU opemcnt in Literatuie and Science, the bast course of Reading, the surest processes of Fnves- * ligation, the most recent authorities in Experimental, and the most learned in Historical research?a friend who could relieve the dryness of abstract truth by a familiar anecdote, narrative or illustration?who could' scatter a few rases, of I literature in the ramreri paths of severe science.
