. big heart.
moment afterwards when she handed me
her ten-cup with the most graceful air
imaginable, in a sweet soft voice desired
me to be so kind to pass it down the to-
blc for replenishment, I let it fall into the
lep basin and returned her the sugar
bowl ; and then. in my attempts to repair
my blunder, [ performed such a complica-
ted series of clumsy mishaps, ending in
jerking off the table-cloth with the entire
Ct‘llliptlgtl, that I was fuin to hide my
agonizcd distress in another apartment,
and wish the house would fall on my head
and bury me out of sight for ever—for
that odious Tom Smart had witnessed my
blumlcriug carlossncss, and his taunting
laughter, rung in my cars as painfully as
though Iliad been stretched upon the
rack.
“Come, come, Peter,” said a musical
voice tender and soothingly, as I felt a
small hand laid on my shoulder, after hav-
ing kicked my toes on a sofa cushion for
a full half hour, in the misery of my endu-
rance, “ you mnsn’t let such triflcs trouble
you, indeed you musn’t.”
I looked up and beheld the dimplcd
chin of Mrs. Clara Bell hanging ovcrmc,
encircled by such meditating smiles as
wrapped my soul in clysium, and trans-
ported me to inner regions of Paradise in
the twinkling of a dew drop. (There is
a poetic image for you ; and We beg leave
to warn all those distinguished vcrsificrs
who my appropriate it for the next Par-
nassiuu effort, that we shall expect them
to give us the proper credit or dread our
severest displeasure.)
“ Get up, there’s a dear fellow,” she
contiuuct , ” and escort me home.”
“ Will you—will ybn allow me to walk
home with you ?” I cried springing up
with wonderful alacrity ; and then feeling
alarmed at my enthusiasm, I sunk back,
the very picture of frightened terror, and
bout my hulf closed eyes on the floor in
dread confusion.
“ To be sure I will,” she replied, laugh-
ing at my bashful behavior. “ Get your
hat, and I will put on my bonnet and
shawl in about a minute.”
Arrived in the street she took my arm
with all that confident case which none
but a widow can assume ; instead of silly ’
sallyiug as embarrassed as myself, as
would have been the case had she been a
more young Miss, nututored by several
years experience in the life matrimonal.
And surely no budding youth felt: so un-
cxccptionably big, as I did while strutting
along the streets with the fair widow
hanging so affectionately on my arm.—
But Vain would be my effort to dcccribc
the strange thrill which shot through me
tingling from the topmost hair of my head
down to my boots when her tnpcr fingers
became gently pressed against my throb-
Speak l I could not have
gasped an articulate word to have saved
my neck from the halter, I actually felt

canic glow, that I should scarcely have

”..,...:;....,
BY PETER PEPPERPOD, ESQ.
O
_.,_.,.,V.
Right well do I remember. my first in-
troduction to the thrilling delights of
courtship. I had just attained the enthu-
siastic age of cightc i, and being of a
very ardent, snsccp‘le disposition, was
in a manner peculiarly prepared to take
impressions from the fair sex on the short-
est notice, and most reasonable terms ——
But I was unfortunate, bashful, oven to
girlishncss; extremely modest, painfully
diflidcnt—in fact. to use pnc comprehen-
sive phrase, “ was green” in all matters
h-iviug the slightest reference to the door
beings for whose society I was lingering
with all the anxiety of a little miss for a
new doll. I did wish the rule was revers-
cd, by which it was established that all
first advances shall proceed from the gen-
tlcmen,and that some kind creature would
take me under a course of instruction ; in
plain tcrms—” put me through.” and then
after I had advanced sufficiently far in
the rule of two to match a miss without
absolutely fainting away, thought I might
afterwards succeed as easily as rolling ofl‘
a log. But no ; the teasing little angels!
instead of showinggity for my distresses,
they positively seemed to enjoy the fun
amazingly, as they were pleased to term
my gawky attempts to do the agreeable,
and at the very moment I was blushing
to the roots of my hair in consequence of
my being spoken to by some beautiful
creature whose black eyes and wicked
smiles alone sat my whole soul in a blaze
my cousin N ell—dark-eyed, rosy checked
Nell—would loughingly cry, as she pat-
takcn place, causing me to evaporate in a
cloud of consuming fire.
Not so my companion, however. She
rattled away nnceasiugly, every now and
tilt)“ taking a sly peep at my blushing
face, as wishful to note the effect of her
words.
First she delivered an eloquent eulogi-
inn on the then brightly shining moon,
which she said was the goddess of love ;
and then catching a glimpse of my coun-
tenance, to which the allusion had called
a whole pint-can full of vermillion, she ad-
ded that Luna had certainly smitten me
with her beams, for that I looked the
most. decidedly moon-stricken gentleman
she had seen for some time, bursting into
such a merry-hearted laugh that. several
gentlemen lieu“ stopped, and strained their
heads forward to catch the faintest. echo
of such angelic music ; and 1—1 sliivcrcd
from head to foot in a perfect dcliriunm,
and thought if I could only then and
there be permitted to eat the lovely wid-
ow bodily at a mouthful, I should be the
happiest fellow olive.
At length, to my great disappointment
we arrived in front of my companion’s
dwelling ; for, though I had been unable
to join in the conversation as we walked
along, I had experienced such unqualified
enjoyment from her words and encourag-
ing behavior, that I could have wished
to rumble with her for ever, if that had
been possible ; and of course, never dream-
ed of her extending complacency toward
such a backward fellow as me, as far as
to invite me within. But in that I was
agreeably deceived, for when I bid her
good night, and was on the point of re-
tracing my steps, slic cast on me, as I
thought, a look of the gentlest reproach,
saying :
” Are you tired of me already, that you
won’t step in and set down for a few nio-

“ poor verdant little fellow 1 what a fine

by a chap at least a. head and shoulders
less than myielf and so far from being
good looking, that lie was not ill: to be
mentioned on the liamc day of the month
except in contrast? At length however
the fastest kindly interposed in my behalf,
by throwing a divine-creature in my way
who taught me more. of the mysterious
art of courtshipiu one evening, than had
I been left to ply own unaided resources,
I should haw found out in a, twelve
,month.
Ali, Mrs. 'Cluru Bell was indeed a
charming wopan. United too clear com-
plexion of t e most beautiful contour, in
which the rise and the lilly scented to Vie
for prcccdev’cc, an exquisite form inclin-
ing to thaydeligutful proportion by the
French tcmed cahoiapoim, she was pos-
sessed ofphc most winning manners, and
had a ccnnin attractivewuy with licr,which
nothiugfi'artlily could withstand. The
first gl-icc of her hazel eye threw me iii-
to sue a whirl of tumultuous emotion,
I swe , I scarcely knew whether I was
stan 1g on my head or heels, and I.stood
guzi on her with open mouth and dis-
tcn eyelids,,likc one, demented ; nay,
ments.”
What I stainmered in reply was never
very clear to my remembrance, but a. mo-
ment; afterwards I was seated on a chair,
in the snuggess little parlor it would be
possible to imagine, trembling all over In
a pleas-Jame sort of ague fit.
was a nice fire burning in the grates,
which not only diffused a reihrkably
agreeable warmth throughout the apart-
ment, but reflected back that delightful
halo from the damask curtains close down
across the windows, which is peculiarly.
appropriate for scenes of love. A be-
witching velvet-covered sofa stood in the
recess formed by the fire-place, whose nu-
merous buttons absolutely seem ed to
wink at me, as saying what a dull fellow
I was for not having sat down tlicrcou ;
and immediately opposite stood on open
piano, just as it had been last played up-
on by its divine mistress ; over the man-
tel hung a half length portrait of the lat-
tor, on which I fixed a look of undis-
gnised admiration, supposing myself un-
observed.
“ You are thinking the artist flattered
me very much, I see,” said Mrs. Bell,
leaning over my shoulder with a smile.
There
no.1,” I returned, scarcely knowing what
I said, until the words had passed my
lips. -
“ Oh, you wicked flutterer,”she cried,
in a pleased tone, and putting my check
as she said so, “ I find you are not near
so simple as I have been |,ch to sup-
pose l”
“’I hope. I did not offend you '3” I said,
feeling alarmed lost I had spoken too
warmly. ' '

“ He hasn’t halfcomc up to the origi- ‘
with gentlemen for Is'aisiug them, except
as it is too frequently the case, the praise
chances to be more hp worship, withoat
any meaning. But, my gracious, wrist a
dreadful condition your hair is in, I de-
clare ; I don’t believe you have combed
it. for the last. four or five days.”
She would have llf't'll nearer the mark
if she had said the last four or five
months. The fact is, I had imbibed a
notion that my hair naturally inclined to
curl in the most gracious manner. I con-
sidered it a little short. of sacrilvgc to
meddle with it in any way at. all. ,
“ You have beautiful hair,” s'nc contin-
ued, soothing down the awry ‘arls with
her palms, “ Which positively makes it, a
suunie to neglect showing it off to the best
advantage. I’m sure you cannot feel the
full importance of a good ,lmad of hair, or
you would never let yours run to such nn-
sightly stubble as this. Why, I have
known gentlemen to marry a fortune on
their hair alone. shorn of which they
would have been as weak as Sampson of
old.” Saying which she opened a small
dressing use, and taking therofrmn a
couple of combs and a brush, told me to
sit on the sofa ; and then taking,r my head
within her arms, proceeded to fix my hair
more in accordance with her notions of
manly beauty.
To say that I Was in a trance while
this truly delightful process lasted, would
but; poorly express the singular sensa-
tions I experienced. All my precon-
ceived ideas of the pleasure derivable
from the society of woman dwindled
away like the thin mist before the present
enrapturcd reality. I seemed to be go-
ing through a new existence, surrounded
by an atmosphere within whose hallowed
precincts was concentrated all of earthly
happiness it would be possible for earthly
mortal to enjoy. The white and rounded
arms would move slowly up and down
my cheeks, while her breath fell on my
hair like some aromatic breeze of sum-
mer. ’
“ There i” said she at length, “you
sweet little fellow, take a look at your-
self in the glass now, and tell me if I have
not made you look at least twenty dol-
lars better I’ll engage the first; lady
yo.-mcct will fall in love with you at
sight on the strength of your hair alone.
And I will make you a. present: of these
combs, and then you may have no ex-
cusc for neglecting your hair again.”
I made out to insinuate as I accepted
her gift, if I might only dare to hope
that she would fall in love with me, all
the young ladies in creation might go to
thunder, for anything to the contrary I
cared about.
“ Ali i now you are talk-g silly, I’e-
ter,” she responded, assuming a grave
look. “But. I suppose you forget I am
not far off from thirty, while you are a
mere boy, oh I!”
I felt rather nettlcd at this allusion to
my youth, for at that precise era of my
life I remember I labored under thcdelu-
siou that. I was about. as complete a spec-
imen of undoubted manhood as could
well be found, and I replied to my com-
panion that I was desperately in love
with her, and actually went to the length
of avcring, that unless she consented to
run off with me, for the purpose of con-
ferring upon me the inestimablc privilege
of occupying the place vacated by the la-
mented Mr. Bell, 1 would hang or drowu
myself forthwith
“ Don’t; talk so foolish, Peter, my dear
boy,” she replied, as soon as the recover-
cd from a hearty fit of laughter at my
earnest- uppcal ; and speaking in a pat-
ronizing style, which would have been in
strict keeping with a. mother giving ad—
vice to her son, “ you must not think I
have been all this time laying a trap to
ensnarc you. I merely wished to remove
a little of that irksomc hashfulncss with
which you are troubled, so that you may
be enabled to mix in female. society with
some degree of case. I have often been
pained for you,\vhcn I have seen the. fool-
ish looks you put on when addressed by
a lady—you positively look wretched.—
Bnt come I will sing you a. song or twu,
and then you must go ; and be sure
when you have won the affections of
your cousin N ell—which you will find no
trouble in doing now—not to tell her un-
der whom you took your instructions, for
it is more than probable she may feel a
very decided objection to any such tui-
tion.”
I felt bad——pcrfcctly flat; but Mrs.
Bell’s beautiful singing soon brought me
round again, and when she finally accom-
panied me to the door,to depart only with
this regret on my mind'mthat she was
not fifteen years younger, or I that much
older.
"Peter,” she said, when I had got a
step from the door.
I stepped back with alacrity, and iii-
qnired what she wanted. She cast on
me one of the most bewitchiug glances
that ever fell from the eyes of woman,and
she whispered :— _
“ You forgot to kiss me, Peter.”
Did I kiss her, do you say ? You’d
better believe it ; and though a great
many years have since elapsed, I can re-
call the thrilling entrunccmcnt of that
my first salute.
“ There,” said she, “ You’ll do now,
Peter; and always boar lu mind, that
all ladies expect to be kissscd by their
lovers ut.part.ings, as a token that the
said lover’s previous expressions of love
and adoration were not were empty- words
but the outward signs of affectionate rc-
ality within.”
All my subsequent endeavors to gain
a second tctc-a-tcte with the fair widow
proved unavailing; she soidslic had taught
me sufficient to enable any gcu'lcman
of moderate talents to see his way clear
with the ladies, and could not extend her
course of lessons further, and ever after
resolutely refused mo permission to enter
her dwelling.
Having sense enough to 'desist from
endeavor-lug to attain an impossibility, I
turned my attention to my cousin Nell,
and s0 ably did I follow up the instruc-
tions acquired from Mrs. Bell, that I
soon had the pleasure ofsupplanting Tom
Stuart. and that so effectually, that one
evening when I had been doing the agree-
able in my best style, and had just per-
formed the fiuishiug touch in the form of
a. parting salute. ,Ncll said she never

From the London Times.
What Napoleon has done.
It is notoriously very difficult to get
the meaning of Loai; Napoleon. He is
the great modern Sphynx, and his very
existence depends upon his not being
found out. ' But, of all the riddles he has
proposal to Europe, none is more pa..-
zliiig or intricate than this treaty of the '
Villa Franco, the scene of which we hav:
attempted to read in the description giv-
en by himself. It is usual when no
doubt the authorship of an act to ask—
f'or whose benefit. was it done? Here,
however, we ask this question in vain.—
'l‘liu treasure is spent and the blood is
shed, the war is ended and the peace is
made, but no one, as far as we can see,
is the better for the fight. Sardinia is
not. quite happy in bar near possessions,
and even Victor Emanuel will find in
Lombardy a poor substitute for the eu-
tliusiastic affections of all Italy. France
has gained no accessions to her territory,
and no friendship from the oppressed
populations of the earth. She has gained
nothing but the knowledge that hcrcm-
peror is able to nmutcuvre an army.—
Slie has not, even at this moment, the
conviction that his sparing Austria. was
an act of" unmixed generosity. ' ‘hc em-
peror now says that he Lstuid his hands
under an apprehension that the strangle
was likely to assume larger propo us
It is not a very chival-
rous reason to give to an army which had
just fought a campaign and lost thous-
ands of its comrades far no result which
any of them would have desired. These
soldiers want to work and glory and pro-
motion. To tell them he made peace for
fear the war would spread, could only be
to set them guessing who it was who had
thus stayed them in tlicir'fuil march of
conquest. It was not England. Was it
Prussia ? It is not very probable, unless
this pause in fighting should be rather n.
diversion than a cessation. Was it Rus-
sia .7 ‘Did Russia think Austria had
been beaten enough ? Was Russia. act-
ing as the surgeon, with his finger upon
the pulse of the patient, and did she give
the signal to cease when that symptom
of Hungarian fever developed itself?
All or any of these reasons may have
operated. Or the Emperor Napoleon
might have known the state of his own
army best. There is, indeed, a last sup-
position, which we offer to the considera-
tion of those w 0 were not long ago so
fiercely scolding us because We doubted
that Napoleon was about- to set up a free
constitutional Government in Italy, per~
haps the French Emperor has imposed
some secret obligation upon Austria nev-
er again to interfere with Italy. If this
should be so. then all is right. The Pope
and Grand Dukes are put up in pride of
place merely to give Napoleon’s great
principle, “ The sovereignty of the poo.
plc” a clear stage. If they can hold
their own, well and gdod, if they cannot,
then dawn topple Pope and Kaiser, and
Laly, left to herself, works out her own
regeneration. There is no limit to human
crcdnlity, and there may be credulous
idolators of Chaos who. even at this thir-
teenth, hour may believe in such impossi-
bilitics as these. The sane men of the
age, however, know better. They recog-
nize in this now settlement nothing but.
an universal and irresistible despotism -—~
We yesterday announced that GitVUili', l in.
disgusted by the diSappOiutuicnt of all his
hopes, had thrown up his employment.—
The telegram of to-day confirms our pre-
vious information, and announces that
the King! of Sardinia has accepted Count
Cavout"s resignation, and has replaced
him by Count Arcsc. This event deter-
mines the nature of the peace.
Camur was an earnest unfit. He be-
lieved in Italian independence as a pur-
pose of Napoleon .lll. It was by means
ofthc confidence he felt himself inspired
in others that. Mazzinni and his emissa-
rics were discredited throughout; Italy.—
It was Cavour who gave the signal for
the successive risings in the smaller Ital-
ian States. It was by means of his in-
fluence tho. the revolution at. Florence,
l’arma and rlodena were bloodless, and
Rome remained tranquil. Cuvour be-
lieved in a Constitutional Italian Unity,
and unfortunately he believed that the
Eiupcror'hiqiolcon entertained the same
views as himself. Warnings were thrown
away on him. Patriots and young la-
dics have a faith in men’s promises which no
expositions can shake, and which nothing
but; bittcrpcrsonal experience can des-
troy. I’oor Cavour, he oncchad a great
career before him, for he was honest and
zealous, but he was ercdulons and impa-‘
ticnt, and became the tool of crafty sel-
fishness. ‘

3%- It is an established fact, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, that no man or
firm has ever advertised business on a
grand scale, without making money.—
They may have Spent it faster than they
have made it, they may have lost, but
advertising paid. If there be a shade of
a doubtof thiS, let the reader recall all
the instances of pcrscvering advertising
—most editors can recall many—which
have manifested themselves in the new-
papers of late years, and he will be aston-
ished at finding the proportion of them
which have speedily realized fortunes.—
If asked how we know whether such en-
tct‘prise is successful, we answer, “ by the
advertising itself.” When we see by our
exchanges, that this or that vcnder ex-
pands fifteen, twenty, or thirty thousand
dollars a year for advertising, and see
this continue for several years, we re-
quire no other proof of success. There
is nothing nowadays so certain as adverti-
sing, wheu a man has something to sell,
and the public will, indeed, buy almost
anything, when they find that everybody
else has it, and that. it is “.Vspokcu of.”—
Observations made during the past‘ year
in advertising have convinced us, that of
all business supports, there is none so re-
liable or profitable as advertising.

Chinese Civilization.
The oriental nations are still a mystery
to us, but the little We know of them is
sufficient] y attractive to stimulate a. desire
Rev. B. S. Maclay, a.
returned Methodist Missionary from Chi
no, is giving in the Christian Advocate
and Journal a graphic account of Chinese-
'?'i:toms and ideas. We quote several
interesting paragraphs ; ‘
“ The national history of the Chinese
antcdates that of any other extant na-
tion in the world. Its authentic record!
extend back to the era of the Trojan war,
or to the time when the Jewish nation
attained its highest degree ,of power and
splendor, under the successive reigns of
David-and Solomon. The. existence of
the Chinese, as a distinct and sovereign,
people, stretches through an unbroken pe-
riod of at least three thousand years, and
their advanced civilization, even at that
remote period when their authentic histo-
ry begins, establishes the farther fact that
previously they must have passed through
some centuries of their national existence.
It is probable, indeed. that the 't'o'nn'dai
tions of the Chinese Empire were laid
within three centuries Subsequent to the
deluge, and it ls, remarkable that of all
the empiresfounded in that early period,
China alone remains. Egypt, Meroc,
Assyria, Carthage, Greece and Rome,
have all passed away, but China still ex-
ists, connecting the present with the dim
ages of antiquity, and furnishing an in-
stance of national longevity unequalled
in the annals of our race.
The permanency of Chinese institutions
is worthy of notice. It is a remarkable
and significant fact. that. from the earliest
period of meir authentic history to the
present time, the Chinese have preserved
intact and inviolate, every important
principle and characteristic of their gov-
ernment, literature and civilization-,—
The successive irrnptions of northern bare
barism have neither abrogated, nor essen-
tially modified,Chinesc institutions. The
conquering races who have periodically
overrun these fertile plains have appor-
eutly stood abashed in the presence of a
superior ciVil'rzation. ' Similar "results
have characterized all efforts to intro-
duce foreign religion into China. Bud-
dhism, Judaism, Nestorianism and Mo-
hammedanism, have all lost many of their
external features, when brought into con-
tact with the Chinese mind, apparently
succumbing to its stolid' immobility and
its inherent; force. Romanish has won its
way by compromises and snbterfnges of
the most questionable character, and even
Jesuiticnl chicanery is almost over-match-
ed in the contest. For many years the
question of the origin of the religious faith
of China has been discussed with profound
interest. The present opinion of those
conversant with the subject seen to be
that the Chinese originally possessed a
knowledge of the true God, and the cor-
rectness of this view is corroborated by
the ancient religions ritual of China, by
some passages in the classics, and by the
many indications of a patriarchal origin
furnished by the customs and institutions
of the people. '
Confuscianism is sometimes described as
one of the religions of China ; but it isa
system of philosophy rather than of relig-
Coufuscius made but few remarks
upon religious subjects. He admits that
he knew nothing certainly about the gods
that. the subject is beyond human
comprehension, and states that man’s du-
ty and responsibility arise from his rela-
tion to society rather than from any sup-
posed relation to Spirit’s unknown. He
regarded himself as commissioned by
Heaven to restore the doctrines and usa-
ges of the ancient kings, and yet-he never
taught man his duty to any higher power
higher than tho head of a family or state.
His followers have gone farther and have
thoroughly materialized the entire sys-
tem. Chu Hi (A. D. 1.130,) his most;
celebrated disciple and Commentator, re-
solves into pure materialism the referen-
ces to Sliangti (supreme ruler) which oc-
cur in the Shu—king, and asserts that
“ 'l‘ai Kilt” (great extreme.) is the ori-
gin Qr source of all things. With re-
gard to the existence of the gods, he
states that our knowledge of the subject
is insufficient for a positive belief ; and
with regard to a state of future rewards
and punishments he is silent. The vote-
ries of Coutuscianism embrace'the oflicial
and literary classes.
