THE VILLAGE COQUETTE.

'When I forsook tbe college walls of W?
some year* ago, I was possessed of?of?'
Immense knowledge?'
'No such thing, my friend.'
'Learning??lore??old as musty?'
'Nothing of the kind, I dc assure you.'
'Acquaintance*, thorough, vast, varied,

' Of a dtmon!'
'A demon V
A demon!'
'And tlint demon ?'
lA desire!'
My friend interested me?his story was
making me curious; but I exhibited a - aim
exterior, and unperturbed countenance,
lie was dealing in enigmas; I would show
liirn the virtue of laconics. I simply said :
'Inileed !'
'Yes,' said lie, 'I was was possessed of it
continually. It hxunted me all (lint night
and all tlio clay. I strove with it, but
puissant effort and superhuman exertion
were alike puerile and inefficient.'
I Finiled a little, partly, to encourage my
friend, and partly to cover the growing in?
teicst I felt in his story. (I consider that

'Proceed 1' said I.
'The demon I said, was a desire! That
desire to encounter a coquette; to humble
Iht haughty spirit, and subdue ber obdurate
heart !'
I nodded three times. Each nod was
given with deliberation. I eyed him atlen
lively as he continued :

As lie PaiiJ thi?, herose suddenly from bis

stood crecl, and turned quite around.
'And those #*yos! note theni large, dark
luminous. Jut imagin bow they shone
and spaikk-don that night on the occasion
!'
I imagined.
'I was the heir of my rich baloholor uncle;
and scarcely bad I entered upon the
possession of the wealth bis demise had
left for my sole enjoyment, and bad lime to
arrange some businexs matters in the little
village which was honored by his name, before
the intelligence was conveyed to tne
that one of the most beautiful girls, yet
one of the most arriut and firUe of co'4
queues was a resident of the place, and
lived in the white house just across the
way.
'I don't begin to tell you how this nrws

'Slop a moment?take breath,' said I,
interrupting what was like to be an endless
chnin of substantive*.
'According to rumor,' said by friend, 'nt>;

ever approached her but be went away wiili
a deadly arrow cleaving to hia side, and she
laughed at bis anguish.
'This was quite enough. I desired to
know no more. It was bliss to me ecstatip
bliss. It sank down into Llie well of mv
heart, and then, gu.*bing up, it meandered
every vein, nerve, fibre, muscle. It permeated
my whole being. I felt nice !
'Then I drew myself up, every feature

4A few moments more found mo silting
by I ho side, of a sweet, modest girl, to whom
; iu tlio confusion of a crowd much more

I some one had introduced me in so hurried

'I danced with her she was n sylph!

in the seducing loveliness?the simple, modest
grace?the exquisitn air of elegance and
propriety which my charming acquaintance
exhibited.
'At length I remembered. I took my

for tho ol'j'-ct of my former curiosty. A

'Then I withdrew my gaze. My eyes
"ngiiin rusted on the face of my charming
friend. No decorations were I here?no

the crowd's attention ; but rather ? studied
reserve, a classic simplicity, a natural graco
