“Poor Cha'rley c0uldn’t do it,” replied the
lady.

“Then I’ll make other arrangements. By

Ft'om the drawing room the young man
rushed into the stable.

“I’ll borrow him,” said Traverse, ji‘u'nIpIing

“But yer onner,” loudly responded the

In vain. Traverse had set spurs to his

Shortly after Mia. Leslie rang for her Pbm'
ton, and at the saint: time Mr. Champion, the

Fold, bachelor, ordered his horse, Thc' pony
Vctme round to the front door, and at the

same time the young widoiv5 stepped into the
plncton.

“Och, it’s all Wrong, my lady,” ' replied the
hostlér, keeping. a tight hold of the rein.—
“Sure an’ your carriage can take two inside.’

“Very singular,” said the widow, “but

At this crisis Mr. Champion appeared.

“I didn’t come in a carriage. ”

V “In wid yeez,” shouted the hostlcr.

5 “Take a seat beside me, if you please, sir,"
said the widow, with one of her most fas'cie
dating smiles.

Mr. Champion approached the' step to' m-
quire the meaning, when the hostlcr seized
him with a vigorous hand, and thrust him
into the phmton, while the pony, startled at
the movement, dashed off at a run. Poor

confirmed old bachelor bodily abducted by a
fascinating young widow. The captainhad
to lend his assistance to the lady,’ m manage-

ment of the pony, who was shortly reduced
to his usual slow and quiet pace, and then
after thanking her companion forhis assist
ance, Mrs. Lcslietold him that in a fewmin-
utes 1% should be put in possession of“:
horse which had been borrowed by a gentle-
mam: This explanation abs vouchsafed.—
She required 111. turn. to be made acquainted

. with the name of her companion after giving

her own.

In a few minutes the captain began to feel
somewhat moreat case—in fact, he began to
like his position. He had never sat ao~near
a pretty woman in his life.- -- He began
to ask himself whether if the proximity
was so pleasant for a few momentg-a'con-
stant companionship might not prove'agree-
able. While her attention was engaged if?
on her pony, he had an opportunity to sur-'
voy her features. Her large, dark landla-
mino‘us eyes,‘scemed to be literally swim-
ming in liquid lustre. Her checks were as
soft and, blooming as the sunny side of a
peach; " Her profile was strictly Grecian, and
her parted lips showed a row‘of‘tiny pearls
as white as snow. The most delicate fingers,
encased in French kid, closed upon- thc reins;
and the varnished tip of a dainy boot indica-

- ted a foot that Cinderella might have ermed.

“Do you live far from here, madam,” in-
quired the captain.

“Not very far. 'The pony can mend his
pace if you are in a hurry. ” '

“Not for the world. The pace seems to be
a very fast one. "

The widow turned those Witching black
eyes of hers upon the old bachelor, and
smiled. It was all over with him. When
he sprang out at the gate of the villa, and
touched the fairy fingers of . e widow, as he
assisted her to' alight his heart was irrctricv-
ably lost.

A red- faced old gentleman received them
at the door.

“My friend, Capt. Champion, uncle, said
the widow; excuse me for 'one moment, sir.”
“Very happy. tease you,” said the old gen-

' tleman.

The two gentleman were soon chatting to-
gether familiarly, and the former felt himself
completely at home. After an hour spent
in this manner, his host excused himself and
the bachelor was left alone.

A dreamy reverie was interrupted by the
seam] of voices in the hall. ' The captain
easily recognized the widow’s, and a glance
through the half opened Idoor, showed him,

that her companion was Ia very handsomti

young gentleman.

' “There dear Bell, ” said the young man,

“0011’ t scold me any more. I won’t do. so

any more, I promise you. Give me a kiss'.’
A heaI'rty smack‘ollowcd. ‘lt was a‘ verit-

able kiss—the captain saw and heard it. A

pang shot through his heart.

“The only woman I could ever love,” said
he to ldmacli; “and sbc'I’aI‘o ”

The widow tri room. If she.

“Bat,” added she, “if you will stay and
take' dinner with us, my uncle 'will be

pleased.” 1 ‘

“The 'coq'hctte,” thought Champion. “I
am much obliged to' you madam, but I have
another engagement.

“Then we cannot hope to detain you, sir.
But first allow me to present you to my
brother.”

The handsome young man now made his
appearance, and shook hands with the bach-
clor.

“That’s thc.horae thief, captain,” said the
widow, laughing. ‘
. The young man apologised, and explained
the circumstances which had impelled him
to take the liberty-adding, “I am sorry that
we cannot improve the acquaintance thns‘
casually made by enjoying your company at
dinner. I am sorry you are otherwise enga-
gazed" 1

“Why as to that,” said the captain, draw-

lug off his gloves, “your Offer is t'oo tempt-V
' The government was called into existence by

So his horsc'wos remanded to the'stable',

and he stopped to dinner. And aficr dinner
they had music, for Mrs. Leslie played and
sung charmingly. Then he was persuaded
to stay to tea, and' 1a the evening the family

episode of the borrowed one produced a
declaration and an acceptance; and though
years had passed away, the captain has had
no occasion to regret his ride with the widow

Tiddleboy, now under the 1mpressron that
somebody had given him something to, drink,
picked up Miss Philista’ s card-basket and put
it to his lips, and, having thus upset the
card’s all over the floor, reprovcd his friend
indignantly for spilling his lobster-salad in
people’s eyes. His friend, meanwhile, lia

been alternately wishing the piano-stool hop-V V

py Now-Year s, and trying to shake halids
with the chandalier, and had at last seated

himSelf on the centre- table, and was calling V
. for a boot-jack to put on his slippers with. —-

They were finally got out of the way, but
not until Tindleboy’ s flicnd, who had stag-
gered against the sofa, had half pulled off his
coat and offered to fight that belligerent arti-

cle of furniture if anybody’d make a ring on

the piano.
Then came Peggins and his friend. Peg-

gins immediately put up his umbrella to keep

ofi‘ the rain; excused himselfon the score of
lobster salad; was helped to refreshments;

mixed his coifee with his pickled oysters, '

stirred the compound with his pen-knife,
poured it out on a sheet of music, laid an-
other sheet over it and tried to bite a piece
but, under the impression that it was a sand-

his shirt front had been Somewhat cleared
away, he noticed it for the first time, and'
said he hoped Mrs: Wilkens would 'excnsb
him if he put up his umbrella again—whisk
he did.

And so on for dozens; fellows all suffering
from attacks of lobsterasalad, apparently, for
all complained of it; some of them tried to
wipe their faces on the door-mat, which they
had picked up in the hall, under the convic-
tion that it was a pocket handkerchief; some 1
tried to drink Iout oi theoystcr tureen, and
muttered something incoherent about salad;

one marched up to an oil portrait of Mrs.

'Wilkcns, held out his handkerchief, and ask-

another addressed a bronze statue of Apollo .
as “waiter, and asked for a little more lob-
ster-salad, and opiate, by which name be

And, in fact, nine out of ten, who called
after noon were in such a condition of lob-

Tonnes-e for the Union.
A recon or 1111011an JACKSON.

In the U. S. Senate on Wednesday Vth! 19th
alt, Senator Andrew J ohnsorl of Tennessee,
concluded his speech upon the disunion
question.

He spoke first of the laws of several States
conflictinglwith the fugitive slave law: they
are unconstittltional and nullifying; the gov.
ernment should execute its laws in the states
and such enforcement by army would not be
mandated invasion. A State cannot go out
of the Union on its volition. He read cx-
tracts from'Mr. Madison to show that such
was the opinion of the founders of the gov-
ernment, Mr. Jefferson held .it was not
necessary to give..thc government special
power to enforce its laws in the S tea, as
it already had it by law of the nation. Mr.
Johnson claimed that the power to enforce
thé laws was expressly delegated by the
States to the general government, if any
state sets ,up in opposition to this power, it .
is aggression and'rcbellion. Ifthe govern-
ment fails to perform its duty' 1n this respect,
it last an end. He called attention to J ack-
3011’s and Webster’s views on this subject.—

ailIV the States, ands single State cannot break

-I'l’he constitution is intended to be per-
pctu'al. Mr. Johnson then referred to the
law passed by Congress in 1793, taxing d111-
tilleries, when a 'part of the people of Penn-
sylva'nia resisted, and got up the mulled
whiskey repellion. Congress then enforced
th'clawsI, batthere was no talk of coercion
then. Thereis no difference between that .
case and resistance by the-whole people of a
state. Read the proclamation of Washing-
.ton' in. that case; it shows he considered that
5tlie laws must be enforced, and that the Union
was inseparable. Gen. Washington sent
15V, 300 troops to put down the whisky rebel-
him; that was the way he enforced the
laws. Suppose the whole people of
Pennsylvania had rebelled, would it not have
been just as constitutional to have enforced
the laws against the whole as against the
part.
Mr. Johnson in continuing his speech,paid
a high encomium to Gen. Jackson, who was
president in 1832, when the rebellion broke
out in South Carolina. He said Jackson
took the same view of rebellion that Wash-
ington did, and the rebellion was put down
and the government went on. Now, how is
it ? The duties are the 'samc; but the conse-
quences belong to God. He intended to do
his duty. Have we not the power to enforce
the laws. _in South Carolina as well as Ver-
mont ? He argued that if South Carolina
refusfi to permit the federal courts, or the
ca1rying of the mails, or the collection of the
_revenue, in her territory, the government
has the right to enforce the laws against
her. If South Carolina sccedcs, and under-
takes to drive the government from its prop
erty, this is levying warm-1d that istrcason,

rinciple‘would apply to Louisiana or South

arolina, if they secede, and the government
by that would havs;the rightto seize and
hold thiam as provinces. He referred to the
statements that the army and navy of France
ind England could be brought here to protect
the acceding States, and said that this gov~
emment would not tolerate such a proceed-
ing. He ’ quoted Gov. Gist’s Message to
thew that the intention of South Carolina
.Was to drag her sister stfica into her com-
mon ruin. As far as Tennessee° 1s concerned

'other confederacy, until she has . had time to
Consider, .andhc would - tell his Northern
friends that Tennessee would not be driven
out of the Confederacy, either. If the aboli-
tionists wanted to abolish :slavery, disunion
would be the first step; the existence of
slavery demands the preservation of the
Union, for the border slave states would be
.unprotected in case of a dissolution. He said
he would rather see a consolidated govern-
ment than thirty-three petty wrangling pow-
er. He avowed in his place here, that he
never would enter any government, North
,or South, leas- democratic than the one un-
der which we live now-never, never. He
read extracts from Georgia papers sugges-
dug a monarchial Government, and said the
South could betterbear the ill she has than
fly to those she knows not oil It might be

ready to seize the reins of government.
He intended to stand by the Constitution,
and demand-the faithful performance of its

the house built by our fathers; he wanted
to stay the rash, precipitate action of some
portions of the South, which runs to red-hot
madness, and also the mad ab tionists ato
the'l'orth. He trusted in God the Union

would be preserved: indeed we should hold
to it as the palladium ofcivil liberty, as the
ship-wrecked mariner clings to the plank to
save himself. What grievance operates on
South Carolina ? Is it because she wants
to take her slaves into the territories? Both
her last Senators said there was no need of
it now. 1 Is her reason for disunion because
our man isnot elected? If Breckinridge had
been elected, nobody would have wanted
to break the Union; but Lincoln was elect-
ed, and now they say they will break the
Uniou. He said no. What was there to-
fear? Lincoln was a minerity President; leti
South Carolina send her senators back, and.
Lincoln can’t even make a cabinet ,«Withbuti
