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

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

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

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

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.

astonished fair.

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.

to roll like a watchman's rattle, mingled .
with another epithet and name, th: .

heard rising like a fierce tempest without A
the door. 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. .

I staid no longer ; hut, retaininig his

would never again deliver a letter of in.troduction.

PROSPECTUS OF
THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S BpOK !
Or Magizine of 4
USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING
KNOWLEDGE.
Thnrfi nre many periodical publications, y?t
one more is wanted. The friends of general
Education?the advocates of tlie diffusion of
Useful knowledge?havo long desired to seethe
comme r? cement of a monthly magazine demoted
to the instruction and entertainment of Young
jjersons of both sexes, conducted with a sole
view to their improvement in Literature, science,
apd the conduct of lifo, written, not in the colloquial
language which is addressed to Tory
young children, but with such attention to the
s ylo as shall render it worthy the notice of these
who are acquiring the art of forming their
Literary taste; and filled with aoch various,,
original, anu valuable matter as shall render tbw
volumes when bounn up, worthy a place in the
Family or School Library.
It is'the purpose of The Young People's Book
to furnish such a Magazine. He has piorided
ample means fur the accomplishment of his
I object; and he pledges himself to the friends of
UDcrui ana juuiciuus euuuanuii uiruugnoai tno
United States that he will produce a work
which shall be in every respect worthy of Uioir
attention and patronage.
There is a period in the progress from earljr
childhood to maturity, and that by no meant a
short one, curing which the expanding minds oT
young arc seeking in every direction for useful
knowledge, as well a* intellectual entertain*
rnent. m
p-'erv book, paper or pamphlet whieh prom,
iscs either, is eargerly read, and every circle or
society of a literary or scientific cast is earnestly
sought. 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.
" " - od - _
would indeed be invaluable. w
Such a friend not one Youth in a thousand, of
either sex, cap have. There is no tolertbla
J substitute to be found in any book we might
say in any library. It ie proposed in sorasmeas.
i j re to supply the want of such a friend in Tba ..
Young People's Book.
One of the leading objects of the- work wiU ba
to point out and illustrate by practical example#
the proper methods of self instruction in the
various departments of Literature and Aft, to
suggest uppropria'e departments of study tad
inquiry, to prescribe courses of Rcaifmf,<tfbd ta
indicate the progress which may be made in Uw
Sciences, so far as the limits of Ibe work will
allow.
The forms into which the different branches
of instructihn and entertainment wi I he thrown,
will be regulated by the particular object in
view at the same, and theelass ot readers always
addressed.
Essays, Narratives, Anecdotes, Tales, Histo.

J the publisher is now rn the actual receipt of
j periodical publications of a similar design with
j that of tho Young People's Book, From Frauee,
i Germany and other parts of the con inent of
' Europe. From these publications, and from '
mo choicest purls of foreign educational litera.
lure in its variousd* purtments, translations will
be made of such articles as will serve to pro.
mo'e tha main design of the work?the in.
struction and entertainment of American youth.
The preservation, however, ot a fuly National
spirit; the inculcation of the duties which every 4
, American scholar owes to his country, and tho A
1 exhibition of the capabilities of our early history, ^
| our traditions, our customs and scenery for ^A
| supplying all the materials of a copious and |
; brilliant literature, will be constant objects of J
! attention, and will form frequent topics of die*- i
| cussion, example, and illustration. v I

r of the whole committed to John Frost, A. M?.

cation and polite literature, will form a sufficient
