Peter would go the wedding, he would? t So he saddled his ass?and his wile, < She was to ride behind, il* she could; For, says Peter, the woman, she should Follow, not lead through life. He's mighty convenient, the ass, my dear, i And proper and sale; and now 1 You stick by the tail, while I stick by the ear, ( And we'll ride to the wedding in time, never fear, It the wind and the weather allow. The wind and the weather were not to be blamed, j But the ass had let in a whim, . That two at a time, was a load never framed For the back of one ass, as he seemed quite r ashamed That two should be stuck upon him. J Come Dobbin, says Peter, I'm thinking we'll trob 1 I'm thinking we won't, says the ass, J "In the language of conduct," and stuck to the spot, ? As though he had said, he would sooner be '< shot, \ Than lift up a toe from the grass. ( Says Peter, says ho, I'll whip him a little," * Try it, my dear, says she, ? Buthe might just as well have whipped a brass c kettle f The ass was made of such obstinate mettle, r Never a step moved he. t I'll prick him, my dear, with a needle, says she, * I'm thinking he'll alter his mind? t The ass lelt the needle, and up went his heels; 1' I'm thinking, says Peter, he's beginning tofeel Some notion of moving behind. t Says Peter, says he, we're getting on slow, e While one end is ii]>, t'other sticks to the ground, c But I'm thinking a method to match him 1 know, }( We'll let for an instant both tail and ear go, t And spur him at once all around. jSo said, so done, all hands were spurring, And the ass did alter his mind? j. For off he set like patridges a whirring, And got to the wedding while all was stirring, But?left all his load behind. THE MOCK MARRIAGE. c o BV MK3. ANN S. STEPHENS. v (Continued.) I "Come in," said Miss Smith. s "Lida, go and get the black crape bonnet s you altered yesterday; the body has come lor I1 it, I suppose." s Lida had scarcely time to lay down her b work, when the door opened, and Mr. Gilbert 1 walked quietly into the room. ^ Miss Smith blushed crimson, dropped her 11 shawl and seemed tempted to commence depredations on the cruel papers forthwith. Lida F took up her work again, and Mr. Gilbert sat ? down amid a torrent of compliments from j I Miss Smith, and began to turn over a volume ! h I of Byron, which he had brought in his hand, j t. I lie had done himself the Measure nfhrinohifr I t f ? 'O ' D the book which Miss desired. t Miss Smith- was delighted?would Mr. Gil- s hert oblige her by reading a few pages, if he v was not too much engaged?she had been in- r orincd that he read beautifully. c Mr. Gilbert would be too happy; but the d light was so dim that he must sit by the window?so moving his chair with the self [tosses- s siou of a man accustomed to have his own s way?he sat down within a few paces of Lida. v She did not look up, but the most delicate of s all blushes broke into her cheek, and the young man saw that her fingers were a little tremu- a lous, as she bent diligently over her work. lie h seemed busy searching for a favorite poem, g and .Miss Smith took advantage of the oppor- a tunity to let down a quantity of black hair, h which the mutilated pattern had failed to ren- c der more than wavy, and givi' g her flounces a slight shake, she drew her chair to the win- t< dow, ordered Lida to place a block for her feet, a and folding her hamL with a I..?.ni,.r ti _ b.UVVlUi composed herself to listen. w it would be quite superfluous to say how si many times the sensitive Miss Smith lilted her v hands and exclaimed, "llcautilul!" "Oh ! how sweet!" while the reading of Childe Harold si went 011; or to give any description of the color which glowed in the cheek of our Lida, t< and the pleasure which tilled those soft e3'es (ill they sparkled like gems beneath her droop- (1 ing lushes. Hut it is quite necessary to inform the reader, that, after this day, Mr. Gilbert was \ a constant visitor at the milliner's shop?that he read Childe Harold quite through, and when c Miss Smith solicited some of the shorter poems, IV he looked at Lida, and answered no ?lie would read them to Miss Smith, but not there. Miss IV Smith was delighted with this indication that S her neighbor desired a telc-a-trtr, and Lida, " who heard liyron for the first time?though she it had read more than most girls of her age, was quite unconscious of the compliment paid to n her purity of conduct in the denial. The law- 11 i yer tiaii n largo library, :i:icl lliere was no lacK a j of books for perusal. Lida, seldom spoke t< while lie was reading, but it was pleasant for a o reliued man like Gilbert to study the change of her line, sweet face, it was like a volume of it "unwritten poetry," which no one could read h but himself. In less than a week, his easy chair was wheeled into the milliner's room eve- h rv day, and he was quite domesticated among the straw trimmings, scraps of satin, and paste- n board chips that littered the Hoor. ll A sense of aristocratic distinction is a re- g markable pleasant feeling, hut in order to enjoy it perfectly, there must bo some companion- p ship. It was very pleasant and agreeable for Miss Warner to return from a four years'school, n to be the richest and most accomplished belle of a country village. It was pleasant to bo en- ti gaged to a wealthy and handsome young man like Gilbert, but as she did not care for books, tl had no ono but a widowed mother to bestow the flattery which school-mates barter 0110 with the other, as slio detested all useful employ- p ment, it was to he expected that her time must b pass somewhat heavil v especially after the first fl jhjects that presented themselves when she ! i went^to luunge away her mornings in the por. j : ico, where the sweet face of our Lida bent 1 iver her work, by the opposite window, and; i just beyond, the dark locks and white fore, j i lead of her own affianced husband. Miss ' Warner was not absolutely jealous, but she 1 ivas very idle, and so, very naturally enough, ' >egan to think it just possible enough, that the jountry milliner might have received something, ' worth looking at, from town. ( One morning she was seen crossing the 1 lighway elaborately dressed, with peach blossom gloves*on her pretty hands, and a deep 1 ringed parasol guarding her face from the sun. rhcre was a great deal of artificial grace in her | step, as she glided over the greensward, and ' he little affected knock which she gave at the nillincr's door, was eloquent of high breeding. 1 rhen there was the patronising bend to Miss Smith, the gracefully extended hand to Gilbert, 4 md the quiet stare at poor Lida, who sat ilushing like a guilty thing by the window.? 4 jilbcrt touched his lips to her peach blossom e rlove, hut when he saw the supercilious look she fixed 011 Lida, he dropped it again, and a lash of color swept over his forehead. Miss ^ smith was full of delight, exhibited all her finey, and instilled more flattery into a conversa- ? ion of fifteen minutes, about ribbons and hats, ban were ever bestowed, in thfe same time, on ' hose ladies who purchase by the year in the ' orm ol a "humble companion." Miss Warner's dignity was not of an order 3 o withstand the incense to her vanity; and t sven if her affianced husband had not, been a ? jonstant visitor, it is doubtful if the honey3uckc portico would not soon have been abandon- " :d for the milliner's room and its gossiping recdom. 7 In less than a fortnight the peach blossom 1 ;lovcs were soiled by constant use, and if Giliert was a feature in the milliner's shop, his la- a ly-love haunted it almost as regularly as he lid. She thought Miss Smith "such a nice s reature?such a dear, good soul, so capable j1 if appreciating true elegance of manner?so ery tasteful in her bonnets and fancy caps." t was beautiful to see how condescending the 0 Uited 31iss became, how useful she made hereli in snipping up little bits of satin, and how .v ireltily she would askGilbert ifhedid not think 1 he would make a good milliner, if she should mt learn the trade, and other important qnesions, which must have diversified the pages of ^ riilton and Young, which he was reading with n agreeable variety. The jealousy that springs from affection , i:iisi full v aroused, cannot lie divested of mm- * J -- --- , - 0 ? ror.ily; but that which arises Irom mortified anily, fa bitter mid implacable, it was not l?m?X before .Miss .Smith became convinced ihut 1 he gentle girl who sal listening with such in- ^ euse interest to every word that dropped from he eloquent lips of lawyer Gilbert, was his , olo attraction to the room, and a few adroit voids to the affianced bride were enough to aouse her attention to the damask color that v ainc and went whenever young Gilbert adIresscd her. j "Artful wretch!" muttered the futuro hride, ' ctting her pearl white teeth together as she poke, "she think of attracting him!" And n vith a scornful laugh, she began practicing her t] tops in a distant corner ol'the room. _ Gilbert wont home that night with his affi- v need bride, and the next day he sent a book t, ir I.ida, but avoided the milliner's room alto- e' ether. The young apprentice only saw him fr s he crossed the green toward the building; jj is countenance was very serious, and he seem- a el to avoid looking towards the window. Just at night Miss Warner came in. She i. a :n: a.

Miss Smith Mowed her ? isitor io the entry. v "It is well that I mentioned it in time," she t> tid in a confidential whispor. Miss Warner tore her glove as she attempted p ) draw it on. ^ "A pretty speculation for a washerwoman's ' aughter," she added, with a curling lip. "Liut ho cared nothing about her," rejoined liss Smith, anxiously. "No, indeed; lie was quite angry at the hargo, and consented to stay from your room [( >rcver, if 1 desired it." 0| "She would have made a splendid mistress 0 >r the homestead up yonder," rejoined Miss j. mith, \\<th another low, disagreeable laugh; u it is almost a pity she tailed in her aim upon tj "Splendid !" exclaimed the bride with a light, jj locking laugh; "but no, no; I should not so n inch regard seeing him the son-in-law of >s; washerwoman, hut it would break my heart i know that any one but myself was mistress f the homestead and property." "Hark! Did you not hear someone moving 1 his ollice," said the milliner, listening appro- ][, onsively. ([ "No, it cannot be; I saw him going to the ousc just as I came in." "Let us move away from bis door, there is o harm in that," whispered Miss Smith, and (| icy walked down the entry conversing toether. After a while the sound of their but half-sup- * ressed laughter filled the apartment. * "It would be a capital joke!" said the milli- ^ cr. "Just the punishment she deserves, prosumpnous creature !" was the reply. 1 "But can you persuade him to join us?" was s lie next question. i; " I In shall! ' o (Jilbort was standing that night in the littlo v ortico of his l>ridc's dwelling. It was a love- e y evening; every thing was deluged with a s iood of pearly moonlight, and the dew lay like ' f 181 rain drops among the crimson nowers which shed a rich fragrance from tiio honey-suckle tine. She was by bis side, his arm had been iround her waist, and but a few moments before his eyes had been fixed with tender and afrectionate earnestness on her face, but now bis inns were folded and he looked sternly upon ier. "Do you really desire this, Louisa ?" he said n a deep constrained voice. "Would you ev;r respect ine again, if I could do so crtjel, so mmanly an act!" "I will never love you again if you do not!" ivas the petulant reply. i An expression almost of disgust swept over :he young man's face, and his lips trembled as le spoke. "Tell me have vou been to see Miss Smith's oom to-day I" "Yes I was there just at sunset But why lo you ask V ^N'6 matter. Have you thought this all )ver ? Are you resolved to deceive this poor rirl?" "Resolute!" "And are you willing that I devote myself to ,vin Iter affections ?" "They are already given, without trouble of isking." Gilbert's brow contracted in the moonlight, tnd the word "Unwomanly!" was smothered jetwcen his lips. "And you will assist me?will tell her that rou resign all claims on my hand?on the tomestead and property?" he added,with a light and bitter emphasis on the last. 5 She did not observe it but answered eagerly ?"Yes, yes, I will do ray part to perfection. 1 * il . x aL 'HI- ' ' J v' now vejry moraiyiug me iruia wm oe wnen he thinks herself Mrs. Gilbert and finds that it s all a joke!" 'But think of the shock it will give her pride md delicacy?" " And refinement?pray add refinement?* ' aid the young girl, scornfully; pride, delicacy md refinement are such common attributes to he daughters of our washerwomen \n "Shall 1," replied the girl with a slow bend ?f the head. ? Gilbert turned away, and taking up his hat, vas about to leave the house, but she laid her land on his arm, and looked smilingly into his ace. "They tell me the house is finished. Will rou take to look at it in the morning ?" "If you desire it," was the cold aud abstract* .1 1.. u repiy. "Well, I shall be ready at ten. Good night" Lnd gaily kissing her hand, the young creature [lidod into the house. "It vast her voice, tbeu, and she was planting her design with-the iufamous milliner. I vould not believe my own senses till she conirmcd them. But she will not persist in anyliing so cruel; it is absurd to suppose. If she oes?if she does?I will obey her." As he rnuttejed these words, the young man valked slowly into the house. CO-OPERATION. Jxtraet from a letter received in this city dated Columbus, Ga. Aug. 27. "It pains us in this quarter to see the efforts inking in your State to defeat the exercise of ic only remedy which, in my judgment, is rncticablo for the evils aud oppressions of i-hich the South complains. You have a par _ cii A _ 11 i .1 y iimv rising in your oiaio catica me UO-oprationists, which I look upon as the most danerous o! all others to the cause of Southern bcrty. Butler Cheves, and indeed most, or 11 them, no doubt, aro sound patriots, and toilly different in character and object from die ubmissiou party of Georgia; but if they suceed in preventing the separate secession of our State, the effect will be the same as that diich will result from tho triumph of the Sublission party of my own, should they triumph, diich Goil forbid. The etl'ect in cither case ill be that the South will have to yield whenver she is out voted, though tho majority shall ontinue to dircgard the Constitution and oprcss our section. SotUh Carolina is now our n!i/ hope, because we believe she has unity nough to bring up practically the question of ic right of secession, if she secedes, she will e triumphant, for she will, iti that case, be ided by a body of men who will havo power nd influence enough to force the other States > interfere in her favor, and compel tho Goviinnent lo return to its legitimate powers and bjects. If she fails lo secede, all is lost; or at >ast, the defence of our right and equality ill be postponed for other men and other mes. It is to me absurd for Butler to be prang about co-operation, when the elections in ie Southern States are going against us. Th<* nly way to secure co-operation is, for your tate to demand of them Equality, and to sonde if it be longer withheld. There is not ie slightest danger of coercion; the South will ot submit to see a Federal gun pointed against ou. Georgia, uncertain and fickle as she is, iay be relied on as your ally whenever you aro ireatened with Federal bayonets. Cobb may e elected, Toombs, Stevens, and the whole orps of submissionists may succeed, but they :ould be forced to leave the State instaqtly, id they dare to Lake up arms against you.
