There is it little, pale, blue flower‘, com-
mon in New Et]gl:tl'ld, known_ by the ll:1ll!t.‘-
of Innocence,’ and Forget-me-riot, (I-lotistonia
Ct‘,l‘t]lt.'t1) It is familiar‘ to the eve of cverv
child; and becomes associated iii the mind
with the happy hours of childhood. A lady
of New Enghind, at a distance from her out
tivc place, wac one day walking out in quest
of her little favorite, and had almost given
up the search as fruitless, when, to her great
delight, the banks of a purliug‘ riviilet ap-
peared dottcd over with the flower‘ of Itine-
ccnce. She hastened to the spot, ll'tl'€lV l1C!l‘-
self on the inviting turf, and feasted her eyes
once more on a scene, which had long been
to her only a dream of the past, never to be
renewed. The following lines were occa-
sioned by this little incident. ~
Ali! ’tis the same, I know it well ;
I loved it from a child;
It greeted me in every dell,
In every forest vvild—
And oh, how oft, in childliood’s hour,
On mossy batik reclined,
l’ve wished a life like thine, sweet flower!
As lovely, pure, refined.
Months. years have passed, I gaze again,
On thine unaltered liue-—
Meek dweller oftlie wood and glen,
My childhood’s joys renew!
0, give me back its visions bright,
Its dreams of future years!
Thou art uncha:iged! the same pure ray
Beams from thy golden eye; '
Antl still, through all thy little day,
Thou gazest on the sky-
A lowly life, like thine, sweet flower!
Let such to me be given ;
Mine eye uiiseekiiig pomp and power,
Like thine be fixed on Heaven!

One evening they were unusually late on
their return. Finally the landau drove up
before the door. It was too dark to see faces,
but Icould have sworn the equestrian was
not the stranger. No! He dismounted,
opened the door of the cai‘i‘iage, and then the
gciitlcmcti and lady descended. The foot-
man had rode his horse, while he, happy man!
occupied a seat by the side of his fair one. I
watclicd the progress ofthis amour for several
days, and still the stranger had never entered
the house." One morning liotvevci‘, about
[0 o’clock, A M., I saw him lounging past,
with that e.ise and self possession which
characterized him. He passed the house
two or three times, and their 1’tttCl')L:l‘ hastily as-
ceiiding the steps ofthe portico, pulled at the
bell. The tiext motneiit he was _adniittcd,
and disappeared out of sight. But only for
a moment, reader. An attic has its advanta-
ges. The blinds ofthe drawing room were
li‘iiwn,' and impervious to any glance fi‘om
the street; but the leaves were turned so as
to let in the light of heaven and my own
gaze, This I give as a. hint to all concern-
ed, who have revolving leaves to their Ve-
netian blinds. Attic gentlemen are much
edilied thereby. The next moment he was
in the room, his hand upon his heart, another‘,
I saw him at her feet! Would that I had
the language to paint to you the scene! 1
then learned the “‘ art of love.” I shall
have confidence, Ihave so good a pattern,
when I go to make my own’ declaration.
The declaration, the confession, the accepta-
tion, all past before me most edifyingly. By
his animating gestures Icould sec howas
urging her to take some sudden and decided
step. She at first appeared reluctant, but
gradually becoming more placable, yielded.
In ten minutcsthe landau was at the door.
They came out arm in arm, and entered it.
I could hear the order of the coachman,
‘drive to -St. Ge.oi‘ge’s—you know the
chut'ch.” “Ari elopement,” thought I..-
Having been in at the breaking cover, I will

of the front door, and followed the landau
which I discerned just turning into Park

fast. on foot. I eschew omnibiisses. They

pair, already joined together, were just cross-

family carriage rolled up to the door. of the
mansion, followed by a barouche with ser-
vants and_ baggage. First descended an
elderly gentleman, who cast his eyesovci‘
the building to see if it stood where it did
when he left for Brighton. Then came one
after another two ‘beautiful girls; then a
handsome ydting man -,“ How glad I am
that '1 have got home again,” exclaimed one
(.-f the young ladies, running up the steps to
the door. I wonder‘ where Jane is, that she
does not meet us '2"
The sylph rang‘ the bell as she spoke. I
could see down "through the blinds into the
drawing room. There wasa scene!
The gentleman was going to the door, and
the lady his bride, was striving to‘ pi‘evcnt
him.

band, at length prevailed. I saw him the
next moment open the strcctdooi‘, the young
ladies started at the presence of the new foot-
man, the elderly gentleman, who was now
at the door, inquired as he saw him, loud

The Liverpool coi‘i‘espon(lent of the Star
gives the following arivcclotc of Lord
—’.i'ougham and the Duke of Buccleugli:
In 1834, when he was at Durobin Castle,
in the North of Scotland, on a visit to the
Dtikc of Sutlicrland, his host said ;to him
frankly, “ The Duke of Buceleugli writes to
say he will come next week instead of next
month, and how shall we manage, for I
know he does not like you—ii'idccd, I rather
think he fears yeti.” “ Oh,” said Bl‘Otlgl'lilma
I’ll settle that.” So, the Duke of I3u(‘t‘leugh
came, and Brougham bowed very stifly to
him. At dinnci‘ he spoke very little, and the
Duke, who had never met him in private so-
him, rather silent and qtiitc unobtrusive.
When the ladies had retired, the Duke said,
“ My Loi‘d B. I should like to know if you
don’t think Diimfi'eesliii'e a more romantic
country than Stithc1‘laiidshii‘e '2” Now it is
not, but the Duke, who takes great pride in
his acres, owns :1 great part of the formci‘
county. .“ Durnfi‘c-csliii‘e"2' Duinfreesl'iii'c '2”
said Lord Brougham, “I really do not
know any such place '2” “I»Vhy,” said _the
Duke of Buccleugh, “that is vp1‘_v straiigi=,
as you live in the next county to it.” “ Oh,”
cried Brougham, “ I really beg your pardon,
but the people of my iieigliboi‘lioot iievci‘
speak of Dnnifi‘ccsl'iir .; when they are go-
ing there they always say " VVc are going
into Buccleugh’s county!” The delicacy
of the insinuatcd flattery exactly hit the
Dukc’s fancy, and immediately took a
gi‘e-at liking to Brotigham. The, Duke hav-
ing lived too hard, is on the continent rc-
ti‘encliing——tliat is, he only spends 100,000!
11 year‘, and leaves 150,000! per annum to
pay off his debts.
A Pmclirrrtl Jo/cc.-—Aii agreement was
lately made between two Irishmen to fill a

more in awe than you would ever suppose
you could be kept, by such a méoy;‘ ggoj

But if I am going to tell you my story, I
must: not keep you all night looking at'pic-
iures ; so now to my tale, I shall commence
in manner and form the following:
It came to pass that a certain college
valctudinarian, and a far off cousin ofiliie
two sisters, came down to pass a few months
of his free agency at their fathei"s ; and, as
aforesaid, -heliad carried offthc first COll_f'glitlC
honor, besides the hearts of all the ladies in
the front gallery at the last comtiienccinent.

and cultivated mind. When he began to,
speak, you felt temptedito throw open IE8
window and offer him a smelling bottle, e

speaking to a lady! the thing was not to be
thought of. ’
\Vhct1 Kate heard that this “ rara avis,”
was coming to her father’-s, she was unac-
cotintably iiitcrcsted to see him, of4cotirsei—L-,
because he was her cousin, and because-a
aozen other things too numerous to mention.
_He came, and was for one or two days an
object of commisseration as well as adlinlll-‘ti

while, however, he grew’ quite a domestic ;

Miss Isabelle had a sister, and I think I

always spoken of in the dimiiititive, was some
years younger thaii her sister, and somewhat

“that of all the men she had ever seen, she
should like cousin Edward best for abrothcr,
and she did hope Isabelle would like him as
much as she did; and for some reason or
other, her spot ulations were remarkably
drawn to this point: ; and yet, for some rea-
son or other, she felt as if she could not ask
any questions about it.
At last, events appeared to draw towards a
piisis. Edivard became more an_d more
“brown studious” every day, and he and Isa-
belle had divers solitary walks and oo_nfabu_-
lations, from which they returned ‘within pe-
culiar solemnity of countenance. Moreover,
the quick sighted Kate noticed that when
>Edward was with liei‘self he'sc'em‘cd to talk

of them speak to me about it—I should think
they miglit. Belle I should think would,
and Edward knows I am a good friend of

time, he might as well tell me, and heshall.”
-’_l‘he next morning Miss Kate was sitting
in the little back parlor. Isabelle was gone
out shopping, and Edward was—shc did not
know where. Oh, no, here he is, coming

on the sofa, twirling the leaves of his book in
a very unscholarship manner; he looked
out of the window and—then he walked to
the sideboard, poured out three tumblers of
watei‘; then he drmv a chair up t_o the work
table and took up first one ball of cotton‘,
looked it all over and laid it down again, then
another, then he took tip the scissors and
minced tip two or three little bits of paper,
and then begaii to pull thelncrdles out of the

the young lady, after having very composed:

upon the floor. _ ’ ' ' '
“Now, cousin, l’ll thank you to pick up
that cotton,” said Kate, as the confused col-
legion stood staring at the cotton balls rolling
in divers directioiis. It takes some time to
pick up all the things in a lady’s work box :,

came a long pans '. _
