THE STRAWBERRY BOY,
07' t/ze Caprice If Fortune.
On a fine inorning in the summer of ’32
a liaudsoine and well dressed boy called at
the door of it rich mansion in L s
square in New York city, and offered some
baskets ofstrawberries for sale. Having
disposed of the fruit, he was about to start,
when his eyes were arrested by the appear-
ance ofa beautiful girl, some 12 years old,l
who crossed the hall near the door. Sliel
was the only daughter of the gentleman of?
the house, and though he gazed on her but
a single moment, the Iiind look she “be-
stowed on him struck a chord in his heart,
which until that moment had never vibrated.-l
‘She is very lovely,’ he exclaimed trien-
tally, but she is the daughter of this great!
millionaire, she can be nothing tome.’ I
He returned to the field in search of
more fruit, but the remembrance of that‘
sunny face attended him closely in his’?
rambles. I .
‘I am young,’ he continued to himself,
‘would I could make myself worthy oflitzrl
But then‘ she is far above me, and this,
thought though it did not banish the fee '-'
ing, hushed it. ‘ i I. .
A week had passed, and the strawberry
boy stood with a palpitating heart at ,:the
rich maii’s door. His fruit was purchased
as before, and he received his money from
the same white’ hand of that’ fair being,
whom from the moment he first saw ‘lief,-
he dared to love! '
She spoke kindly to him and bade him
to call again.
He did not forget the order. He called
again and again, but the season was ‘ad.-
vancing, and the fruit becoming a scarcity.
‘I shall not be able to- bring any more,’
he saidone morning, I am sorry for itlwas
a pleasure to call here. But \ve‘shall’iiect
hereafter.’ ' ' ' ’_
The young heart which fluttered in the
bosom of that lovely girl, was touched at
the musical,though somewhat melancholy,
tone in which this was utterred, ‘she
l
and <
ti-mid’ly replied that “she would remertiber
him.’ ' ' ’ .
‘\We shall meet again‘, Miss, when I
promise you, you shall not be ashamed to
acknowledge the poor strawberry boy.l
She thought the language singular, but
they parted. ' F i
h .
’ Three years had elapsed." The ‘tide of
speculation which was then swelling '_ in
our country, had not reached the‘ “flood,”

.times live too fast; it wasn’t their fault;
Theyyarrived at the door—the stranger
was there.—They alight. He extends a
slight, :1 very slight bow to the heiress.
A blush tinges that bright cheek, she
recognizes him.
. Charlotte retires to her chamber, she
was unliappy, but surely the stranger was
nothing to her, or she to him.
Time rolled on. It was the coldest
night of the uncommon cold wintcr_of’3:'),
and the memorable 16th ofDecember. A
fire broke out in the evening in one of the
principal streets ‘of the great commercial
metropolis. It raged violently, and at
early morning on the succeeding day, a
great portion of the city lay in ashes.
' The rich merchant, as was his wont,
alighted at the head of VVall‘ street, and
saw the ruins. He hastened to the scene
—-.whei'e was his store, his goods, his all’!
The smouldering ruins before him an-
swered ’!
Butlie was insured, he should save
something at least. His policies were
lookedafter during the day—they had ex-
pired the wee‘: previous.
The millionaire was comparatively" a
beggar. He_ had a stout heart, tho’ that
rich poor man, and well he braved the
storm. He found, however, that it would
be ngcessary to break up his establislinient
‘to meet some lmmcdiuté ,s.-er.-cs--5 I:..l.ili-
ties. His furniture was sacrificed, his
mansion was disposed of, his splendid
horses and carriages were put into other
bands, and even “Jessie,” Cliarlotte’s
pretty coal black favorite, was doomed to
pass from them, “under the hammer.”
But could not some friend be found who
l.\ otild purchase “Jessie,” and retain her
until the fury of the blast had passed.
No. Every body was poor, every body
- had been ruined by the great fire, nobody
had money. Besides it was expensive
keeping horses.
‘Poor Jessie,’ sighed her mistress, I
hope she will fall into goods hands.’
But nobody warited Jessie, and she was
thrown away upon a stranger.
‘Who did you say was the purchaser ’!’
inquired Charlotte of her father.
‘A Mr. Mainly, I think,’ said the father.
And who was Mr. Manley’! He was
the Poor Strawberry Boy. -
Another year had fled. Misfortune had
followed misfortune in rapd succession,
and the revulsion of ’37 had finally re-
duced our man of wealth to bankruptcy.
The following advertisement, may be
found in the papers of that day:
“Will be sold at public auction on Wed-
nesday next, on the premises, the right of
redemption to that beautiful Cottage, with
;about half an acre of land adjoining, lairli
oul in a garden well stocked with fruit
trees, and shrubbery, situated on the north
side bf Staten Island, and mortgaged to
John Jacob A
thousand three hundred dollars, &.c.
en immediately, terms cash.
_ The rich man that was, in vain appealed
to his sunshine friends for aid. They must
‘have security: the times were hard, theylmil ip
had lost a deal of money ; people some-
very sorry but couldn't help him.
and now reduced to the last extremity, he
had retired to his beautiful retreat, hoping
that rigid economy and fresh application
to his mercantile affairs would retrieve his
rapidly sinking fortune.
But his star was descending and his
more mui‘-lay brethren forgot that he had
been “one of them.” Unfortunately he
had no security to offer, and the cottage
was sold.
It was a. bright day in Autumn, the pur-
chasers were few ; there was a.ltttle com-
petition, and the estate passed into other
bands, The purchaser gave notice that
-he should take possession forthwith.
And what was to become of his lovely
child. His last home had been taken from
him, and the fair girl was niotherless. The
heart of the fond father rnisgave him when
he received the information that the prem-
ises’ must be immediately ' vacnted- T116
daughter wept in silence upon the bosom
of her affectionate and unhappy parent-
He had been :1 proud man, but his pride
was now humbled, and calmly he resigned
himself to the stroke of aflliction. He too
wept. Oh ! it‘ was’ fearful to see, that

strong man weep ! __,,_ 9___

But his troubles were more-nearly at an
end. o .
The day following that upon which the
sale had occurred, was well nigh sped.——
The afternoon was bright and balmy, and’
the father sat with his daughter, in the re-’
cess of one of the windows which looked
out upon the road. He had received a,
informing hir_n that he, should call upon,
‘examining the premises more fully than"
‘he had an opportunity of doing.——They
awaited his visit. ’
A stranger on horseback halted sudden-
ly in front of’ the court-yard gate, and
ttirning the head of his black steed, he
ambled quietly to the door. '

courteous looking young. man, who inquir-
ed for Mr. S .
Mr. Manly, sir—now the owner of this
cottage. l have just received the deed
from my attorney, and with your permis-
sion shall examine the estate.
‘Walk in sir; you are master here,’ and
I shall vacate as soon as your pleasure re-
quires it. ‘My daughter,’ he continued, as
the stranger entered the parlor. This is
Mr. Manly, Charlotte. The purchaser of
our little cottage.
The person whom you once knew as
the poor “iS'Irau-lierry Boy !” continued Mr.‘
Manly, as he took her extended hand.
‘My dear Sir,’ said Manly adressing the
father, ‘I am the owner of this cottage.
Seven years ago Ihad the happiness to re-
veivc from this fair hand a few shillings in
payment for fruit, which I carried to the
door ofthe then aflluent S. "I was but a boy,
sir, and a poor boy too, but poor asI was,
and wealthy as was the lady, I dared to
love her! Since then’; I have endured every
hardship, with but a single object in view,
that of makin_~_>; myself worthy of your
daughter. Fortune has been no niggard
with me, sir; my endeavors have been
crowned with success, and I come here
to-day, not to take possession of this cot-
tage alone, but to lay my fortune at the
feet of worth and beauty, and to offer this
fair being a heart which exists but fo'rher-
self alone.
The tistonishment of the parent was un-
bounded. lf Charlotte had not loved_ be-
fore-,' *shc~no\v Io'okcd~upon the handsome
and generous stranger with aught but dis-
pleasure. Secretly, she had entertained a
feeling certainly “akin to affection” for
him, whom she had remembered for seven
long years, who had crossed her path so
strangely; who had purchased the very
cottage from which she expected to be
driven and,-—but the sequel is soon told.
Charlotte loved, and shortly gave her
hand to Manly. They remained in the
cottage which was newly furnished and
many. times afterwards did she mount her
favorite Jessie, and at the side of her food
and devoted husband roamed ‘through the
romantic scenes Wl1lCll_lllJOl1ll(Ie(I on that
far-famed Island.
The once wealthy Mr. S. is now a hap-
dy grandfather, and as he tosses the young
Manly on his knee, he likes to tell the story
of “tlie Poor Strawlierry Boy.”
