‘Dobbs,’ said my intimate friend, Fred
Hopkins,-as we sat together one summer
evening in my cozy bachelor's depart-
ment ht theihouse ‘of ‘-=my*Aunt' Penelope.
with whom 1 board". "Dobbs, if it is
not an impertinent question, will you
tell me‘ your age?’
I ‘ Certainly,’_saVid I. ‘I am twenty-sew
— en, or shallbe, if I live to see October.’
' Very well,’ said he, 1 and how comes
‘it that you have reached such a mature
age and have not married? Did you
ever reflect how pleasant it would be to
sit by your-"own fireside, with your wife
"opposite, ‘and perhaps two or three little
‘ones crowding around you .3’
ed, ' on the pleasure of being kept awake
all night, baby crying, wife scolding, and
coming down in the morning, tired‘ and
sleepy, to a comfortless meal, prepared
by an unskilful servant girl? But, to
a_ns'wer you in serious earliest, I have
thought of marriage.

There is but one ,
Depend upon it there are hundreds who
_would jump at the chance of becoming
Mrs. Dobbs.’
I shook my head incredulously.
‘A’s I shall make evident,’ pursued
Fred, authoratively, ‘ by referring to sta-
tistics. According to the last census,the
number of femalesin Massachusetts was
found to outnumber the males by twenty
two thousand. ’ From which we may
infer thatjmore than twenty thouséfnd of
the opposite sex are destinedto single
blessedrfess." ' ' H " ‘
‘Well i’ said I. V
'Don’t you see therefore, I that this
‘number will be oldlmaidsyfrom necessity
not from choice,‘ and would probably be
willing to'»tak‘e up with the" first oath.-
Consequently, you have twenty thousand
chances“ to get married.’ ' i
This was certainly a startling conclu-
siou. ‘ .
‘ But consider my bashfulncss.’
'”I have thought of that,’ said he, ‘and
I would advise you, under the circum-
stances," to advertise for a wife. That
you seé“Vwould obviate all: diflicul1ies.—-
Shall"I"dra'w uplone for you '3’ ,
VConsidering ‘that such" a proceeding
would not necessarily bind metro’, matri-
mony, I ‘consented, and Fred placed

A-VYQUNG gentleman of quiet and uuassu-’_
V mrngmanuer, and good moral character,
is desxrops of‘ securing ,a partner ,fo1-life; He
is engaged in merchantile, pursuit which afford
bill] a moderate income. Any who may deem
it worth their while -may bear further particu-
lars by addressing A. B. C. boxV55, Post Office.
This document being considered on
the whole sufficiently Voxplicit, I carried
it next morning to the office of a daily
paper. V V I
‘ A friend of mine,’ said I, not caring
to identify myself with the ‘ gentleman
in search of a wife,’ ‘ wishes this adver-
VtisemenVtViVnserVt_ed in your paper. How
mVanyVf.imes will it probably be necessary
to insert it?’
I‘ Three times,’ said the clerk, {will be
amply sufficient. That sort. of advertise-
ment nevcrfails to receive early atten-
tion.’ ,' V '
-I hV:id'resolved not to openany letters
llutiliflié end of three days of which the.
advertisement would appear, I. sent to
the office three ‘times a day, and never
failed to receive, a letter for my assumed
address A. B. _C. '
‘On the third evening, when Fred, and
I sat down to examine the pile which had
accumulated in my letter case, he count-
ed forty-seven. I _
"Didn’t I tell you, V_Dobbs,’ said Fred,
laughing, ‘that there was stilla chance
for you, I Andnow let us plunge into
the middlVe_cf things for we have a
night's work before us.’
It was a motley collection and no less
various in the outward appearance of the
letters than in the character of the con-
tents. Some were enclosed in envelopes
others without. Of the former some
were on delicate cream-laid paper, other-9
were written on a single half-sheet of
common letter paper and enclosed in a
brown envelope. Some were sealed
with a wafer, and pressed with a num-
b_le; others, those of greater pretensions_
s '_were fastened with sealing \vax,_or with
a small motto-seal, with various devices.
and inscriptions. I recollect a few, , as
-—-' Faithful till death,’ ‘ Wholly thine,’
‘We are one,’ ‘Forget -me not,’ etc.-—
Then for devices, there was a pair of
clasped hands, a heart pierced with darts
and others of the same character.
Some of these letters were irresistibly
ludicrous. One, I recollect, was from a
California widow, who had heard noth-
ing from her husband for a year. ‘As to
waiting for him any longer,’ she wrote,
‘VI don’t intend to do it. Most likely he
is dead; but if he should return, which
heaven forbid, after my second marriage,
I have no doubt he could be persuaded
to yield his claims.’
‘There's an affectionate wife for you
said Fred ; ‘ if he should return, which
heaven forbid! Pass that by.’
I shall give entire the next letter which
came in a brown envelope, and was di-
rected at the very top to. Mr. A, B, C,
Esq., in a handwriting executed by fin-
gers plainly more accustomed to the rol-
ling pin than the quill.
Mr. A. B. C.\.
DEAR S1n:—-Happening to tnkeaip
the newspaper the other day, Isaw your
advertisement. Didn't think much of it
‘at the time. After a time I happened to
tliink—you must know I keep a boarding
house—that if I was marrred my hus-
band could look after the marketing and
do the carving for the gentlemen. Now
I have to get one of them to do it, ‘by
boarding him at half price. So thinks I
to myself, as this seems to be a proper. .
sort of gentleman, (judging from the ad-
vertisement you know) I guess I’ll wrtie
and see what he thinks about it. My
boarding house ‘is No. 5 Central street,
and~I should «be happy to have you come
and take dinner with us to morrow.—-
The boarders will not know that you
have come for anything particular, and
then you can see how it suits you.
- Yours to command,
Por.r.v.S'runns. . .
P. S.-—Dinner hour at one o'clock
precisely. Please be punctual.
_‘ Mrs. Stubbs is a. sensible woman,’
said Fred, after-readinglthis communica-
tion, ‘ and a thorough Yankee, I'll be‘
bound. ' She looks at the practical . side
of things, shedoes. «Shall you take din-
ner at No;-5 Central strut?’ - .
_'NoVt I, I never could carve decje-xitly,
aslmy Aunt Penelope can testify; But
what have we here T’ I asked, taking up
a perfumed note written in a small hand,
which could be deciphered with difficul-
ty. I read as follows: ’
' Dun Sm :-—Or rather, may I not ad-
dress you as beloved friend}. ~ Yes-yes,
I will. Away with the conventional ties
that would deny me the privilege ? ,Yes
my friend, there are some characters that
we read at-a glance‘. Yours 1 read _in
the terms of. your advertisement, so mod-V
est, so concise, so appropriate-_—”
‘ You must apply that to yourself,’ in-
terrupted I, laughing, ‘ for you know,
Fred, you drew up the advertisement.-'
But let me go on.’ .. -
' My heart is drawn to you—I blush
not to confess it; I feel that .we,, were
made for each other : I have long pined
for a congenial spit-it—'an intimate of the
other sex for whom I might live, and to
whom I might cling with fond affection.
In the hope to hear from you ere long, I
remain , -
Yours, in the closest friendship, ‘
Gnoncrmx DALE.
' I will leave Miss Dale to you, Fred,
as she has evidently fallen inlové with
your character not mine. Hope she will
not be_disappointed.,’ . _ ;
So we went through the list. We do
not intend. to favor the readerwithV the
. contents of - forty seven. ' One was from
aVm,illiner--two from ladies of re¢IucedV
circumstances—seven from widows with
large families—seventeen from professed
old_ maids--the remainder were not ex-
plicit on this point. . ,
One thing I noticed in regard to these
letters. None of the ladies who _were
over twenty, made any allusion to their
age. Very few made any allusion to
properly, frcmwhich 1 concluded that
ladies who possessed a share of this
world’s goods found it unnecessary to
adopt this method of obtaining a bus-
band, V V _ . ‘ I
From so many writers I found it diffi-
cult to select the one who, so far as I
could judge, would bestsuit . me. At
length I decided, though with hesitation
to answer one from a lady who professed
to be gifted withan amiable disposition
and domestic taste, and who V _ moreover
owned-a small house in the city, with
$15,000 in railroad stock.
I wrote her, veiling my real name, as
she had , done, appointing an interview
with her at the south part of the Com-
mon the next day at ten o’clock. She
was to carry a white rose in her ha_nd,and
I a redone, that we might be able to
distinguish each other. V
Let me, before proceeding further,
sketch for you my Aunt Penelope Baxter
with whom I boarded. She ..was now
somewhere about fifty years of age. She
had never been very prepossessiug in her
personal appearance. A sharp wiry fig-
ure, ncse long andthin, grey eyes and
compressed month were my aunt’s char.
acteristics, physically. She was a. good
woman in the main, though, somewhat
disposed to scold. Aunt Penelope was
an old maid—from choice she said,‘ She
often declared that she would not. marry
for any money. ' ‘
' Do you think,’ she said, ‘thatl would
tie myself to a husband and children,
when I can live independent '3’ ’ ‘
To return. About nine o'clock ‘the
next day, arrayed in my best, I set. “out
My rose I‘ kept oufof sight till I arrived
myself on one of the benches, I’ awaited
my unknown visitor. ' » ,
I did not have long to wait. My eyes
caught the figure of a lady advancing to-
wards me, with a white rose in her hand.
She was thickly veiled. so that I could
not catch a glimpse of her ‘face. She
seemed to be looking around her, doubt-
less, for the Knight of the Red Rose. I
concealed it until she ‘was close at hand.
Summoning all my courage I rose,and
with a rapid step advanced towards the
lady. ‘ l '
‘ Knowest thou this token ?’ I whispe-
red, presenting the rose. V
The lady who hadbeen looking in the
opposite direction turned around at the
sound of my voice. I was quite unpre-
pared for what followed. With a shriek
of surprise, she exclaimed : ‘ '
' Good Heaven! It is Henry!’
‘ What! Aunt Penelope!’ said I, with
a shriek of surprise equalto her own.-
‘ Can it be possible ?’ ' I
' Yes,’ said she, trying to recover her-
self, ‘ as it was so pleasant this morning,
I came to visit your Aunt Mary.’. I
it was very cloudy, and the sun had
not made its appearance.
"BuVt,’ said I, who was. determined to
‘confuse Aunt Penelope as much as pos-
sible, '.I t'nought_AVuutV'Mary lived in
quite a different part of the city.’
‘ I thoughf.’V said my__Aunt, Vhesitating-
ly, ‘ that I would _ take a walk ‘on the
Common firstV.V'__ V_
' I see,’ said I, still -in the tormenting
mood, ' that you have a "white rose 1'01’

then she brung two roses, :1‘ red one and
a white one with ’her.~- She was in ster-
ed like, and ran right up to her 3 c fam-
ber. . - .
My Aunt Penelope did not soorf 're-l
cover from the mortification of that; day.
It became painful to her to have’ one
continually present, who was acquaint-
ed with the circumstances. She sent
for me one morning, and told me that
her health was poor, and as it was incon-
venient to ‘spare a rrdom, she regretted
that I would be compelled to seek anoth-

deeper shadow drifted over the beautiful
face, the small, rosy fingers tossed back
with a petulent motion the brown curls
that flowed over. the cheeks, and a fresh
flood of tears poured from the soft eyes.
Those bright, bitter tears, they looked
strangely out of keeping with all the
