She is the Queen of cousins, being at onee the most agreeable, cruel and unmanageable of all; the prettiest and most dangerous, liveliest.and most witty, and is, besides. such a conceited little prude as never lived before. whose fanci fal mischief-loving disposition has intimidated and sublued the country for miles around. She is, moreover, & eapricions tyrant, willful and obst’ nate, and sways the sceptre of her pow- er with an unsparing hand. ler admirers— slaves I would say—though ribs have ached and smarted with the thumps of more than one of cupid’s shafts, though their hearts blistering with his barbed arrows, pierced and riddled in every direction. still flutter around the light that seorches them. attracted and enchanted by eyes that melt with gazing, and fire you with their fire. See how fond the sancy elf is of tossing with such mellow lips, that hang like golden fruit to be plucked by the first bold hand, pointing to you temptingly, wooing, inviting. and when you would haste to | ese them to your own they arrest you with such an offended delicacy that you dare not go farther, lest the Puritan box Your ears. All cousins are not so. While they hang their heads in delicious confusion, and suffer one to do what he will with their lips, she will be tugging at your whiskers, or what is more to be dreaded, will, with one fell swoop, smash the spotless. unwrinkled bosom that is so snug- ly arrayed behind the vest that gives it protec- tion. None of that devoted train yet had saf- ficient audacity to steal akiss. Poor souls! Was it that they feared they might disarrange the hair that they had spent so much time in brushing and torturing into sleekness? Or were they content to plod along in the same every-day employment of sighing for paradise, and though their eyes dared not reach forth a hand and enter with a seal i ae her lips! $. i e besieging when a city cousin arrived. And thus found Harry Hosmer the pretty kingdom my pretty cousin had founded. He came. and she saw one more victim to swell the tide of triumphs. He was worth winning; he was a fine appearing fellow, was a true gentleman, could danee, tile, sing, and make love sonnets to adoration, and was all in all, what a handsome young lady at eighteen would love to see at her feet. ill we be justified in saying that the same es influenced her actions towards others, her to the concentration of all her art, ning and powergto batter the heart of the #3 cousin’ No, it was not love, but some- ing very akia to it. for what country belle can see such a Harry—one ao superior to the rest of the throng that surrounds her—and not feel a greater emotion, a more than common flutter, when he approaches her. Her plans were laid. His heart minced, as- saulted, besieged, and attacked in every possi- ble shape. He remained firm, unconquered. nor did any subsequent morement distodge him from his situation. Hisdeportment was always the same, and not all her exill at man’s subjec- tion could draw from him more than that fa- iniliar gentlemanly earriage, which acquainted her with the freedom of his heart. and the fail- ure of her plans. She was piqued. Whata cold, senseless thing this cousin is! Pshaw! I won't trouble myself more with the ill-man- nered bear. He isn’t worth the pains one takes to make him like people. She, however. did not adhere to this wise con- clusion. The next day another attack. a gen- eral assault was directed against the citadel, and she endeavored to carry all befofe her by storm; but he, that had so long been impregna- ble toso many city warfares led on by the brightest eyes that flushed in our land, was the same cousin Harry Hosmer from thecity. And the only foil he used, and that which he played surprising advantage, was the name of another city cousin, a defence that surprised while it was a counter attack that disconcerted her. _ My pretty cousin had failed. Inher endeay- ora to subdue the heart of her cousin, she had forgot to gaard her own, nor did sbe know that it was already in the possession of anotber. She was cross. She eowkd hardly bear that he should be in her presence, and was unhappy when he was out of sight. If be was pleasant or laughed, he was ridiculing her unhappiness, and rejoicing over her discomfiture. If he was sad and sober, he was thinking of the hated cousin he left behind in the city. “* My dear cousin, you cannot imagine with what feelings of pleasure I shall present your beautiful cousin to you. She is such a divine ereature.’’ exclaimed hé, one day after dwell- ing unusually long upon her beauty and learn- ing. ‘She is perfection!” Clara pouted and picked the leaves of a rose -he had just plucked for her. and crushed them with her foot. “ You will be delighted to see her, she is so kind and gentle. It will be impossible to be pear her, and not like her.”’ “* And do you like ber, cousin Harry ?”’ ask- ed she in a low. hesitating voice. as if afraid to ask what might be unpleasant to her. «+ Like her '—we love her—every body does.”” The rose was suddenly dashed to the floor, her indignant foot stamped upon it, and she arose and hastily walked to the win: “Why coz, what ails thee?” said Harry, without rising, and he swung a chair carelessly -round on one leg, while he commenced whist- Hing a lively air. She was leaning against the side of the win- , @ow, with her furchead pressed against the glass. She did not answer. Nothing is more galling to a woman than tw hear the praises of a rival from the lips of one she loves. Clara was piqued; she was offended and angry. She could hardly bear her feelings, for she pictured her bappy cousin basking in the sunshine of his love, and then she thought of herself, neglected and nnleved, and her breast heaved with feel- ings she ill could bear. Is my cousin unwell ?”’ She is silent. Bless me, you have not forgotten the use of that tongue, that used tu wag so gaily ’”” No auswer. Harry rose and walked to the window. He gently pulled the hand that supported her head trom her face. She was weeping. The day after. he departed fur New York. His horse wa¥at the door, his foot was in the stirrup, and he had thrice bid good by to bis friends, but he lingered. for there ought to be another among them. He seanned their faces, he watched every window; she was not there. Once more he took leave, and stopped again to see if Clara was there. He turned disappoiot- ed, and laid hi+ hand on the saddie. A hand touched his shoulder, and a low voive whispered Cousin Harry, good bye’ , He turned and met the gaze of Clara. She was pale. She held her hand to him. and he drew her to bias, and pressed his lips to hers. There was. perhaps, so mach warmth in that kiss, that min; fire with the pallor of her cheek. Or, was it that his hand held hers wo closely locked ? : ‘- Good bye, my sweet eousin,”’ said he, gaily, as he vauited into the saddle. ‘ Remember mny prowise of coming sgain this fall with Peri sin Julia, whom [intend you shall be so delighted with that you will not care to part with her. Aud I give you warning, take care lest you are not taken by surprise; she carries ail before her p ~ I will not promise tolike her, Harry,"’ said abe. Ww to her mind. until he returned. beeause the reader already knows. Neither do we Jove to speculate upon the state of Harry's heart. We doa’t know mach about this city cousin yet, farther than it appears that he is very fond of ‘kisg about her; and that is no positive proof Pat he is not in love with her. People do not tk most of those they love y pretty » @ousas beauty certainly bad strack him at ~ first, wit; he felt the influence of her eyes; but he was determined to curb that proud spirit that marred all her better qualities and exterminate her pretty passion for coquetry he was pleased with her lively humor and | | _ She had failed once in her long career of war- ring against hearts.

She flew to the ASS. “ Not this face is fresh as ever; these eyes are as bright; this neck as white; this breast as full and rounded; that waist as taper, and this form has lost none of its fullness, She—who is she? this Phenix, this divinity. Some city Miss with enough gold to make a dash and dazzle his eyes. eeu perhaps—yet well padded; tall and lean, lame and deceitfitt. “'Tis strange, ‘tis strange,” said she, as she Stood and surveyed herself before the faithful mirror. Fall came, and with it Harry and: the city cousin. They arrived late on Saturday even- ing. and stopped at the village hotel. It was too late to see their friends that night, added to which the inhabitants still adhered to Zant gn old custom of keeping Saturday night. Next day, arm in arm they went to church. and sat in a pew where Claracould see them. She was pretty; Clara confessed it to herself. Indeed she might be called beautiful, but thatshe was too pale. How tall—how majestic she is! How confidently she bears upon hisarm! Would that be right forcousins? She forgothow often she had leaned just so. They sing out of the same hook; their breath mingles. ow tender- ly he folds the shawl around her neek. The jade ! she smileson him. No wonder he should be so fond of her when she can smile so sweet- ly. Poor Clara! she sought her bed that night with an aching head, mad dreamed of daggers the whole night long. Ifshe had been engaged with her outward clothing, how much more was she with her in- ward qualities. Though she looked upon Julia as arrival, it was impossible to approach her and not feel interested. Her sweet disposition, and her engaging manners secured the atten- tion.and respect, but not the love of Clara. She was a successful rival; Clara could not brook that. Where rivalry exists there is no love. _ One evening Harry was alone with her. Ju- lia had just been with him. Clara sat pensive and thoughtful I think Clara's thoughts, like her heart. is with some favored lover, whom adverse fortune has parted trom his lady love, and cast into other lands. Or. perhaps, the little plaintive songs Julia has just sung, awakens sad feelings How is it, Clara ?”’ _ U think. if you remember anything till you die, it will be the name of Julia. You are for- ever talking about her and her singing—such divine music. Pshaw! And why not? Who could listen to such an angelic being, and not go into raptures with her heavenly music ?’’ .* Sure, I have heard better,”’ said she, pet- tishly. “And then to think of her sweetness of dis- as tion, her kindness, her benevolence, her eauty——"” Clara sat uneasy. _ “Her sparkling wit, her learning—all these joined in one person, in Julia, she whom all love—” She hitched ad her chair, and looked hard, at the well t throagh the window. What could there so very attractive in that old tickety piece of wood ? “She whom we adore——" He stopped. He heard a sob. “Clara, cousin Clara,” said he, going to her, and seating himself by her. _ “* Stand off, sir!’’ exclaimed she, suddenly rising, and steppi room. Her eyes, am wet with tears, flash- ed.with excitement. Her bosom heaved and swelled with offended pride. “You are a cold, heartless man. others to sing, but me never; laugh, and ride with Julia, bu You ask you walk, and never ask me; You dance all night with that Julia, while I sit | alone in the corner; you sing with her, go to chureh with her, and I am left alone at home You may go back to New York with your beau- tiful cousin—I'll never speak to you again.

Youare the worst, the ugliest, the most hated—ugh ! nite ug! 7 gh! the She hurried out of the room, transfixed with astonishment. with a serious face. That afternoon, Clara sat ina rustic bower in her father’s garden. She was psle and unhap- py. She did not observe two persons walking that way until they entered where she was Harry advanced, leading the smiling Julia by the hand.‘ You know this lady only as your cousin. I come how to acquaint you with the relation she bears to me. a Julia Hosmer you see — cousin and my sister.”* ~ Your sister ?”’ eried she, eagerly apringin forward. wa ae $ Your cousin, and my sister; sweet coz.’ “You won't go baek to-morrow. will you?" asked she, slipping an arm around Julia. Clara paused a moment. Then, with a crim- son check and saltering step, she approached Marry, and passing her arm around Ris neck, — up in his eyes that flashed so full of vie- ory. soon 7” We are informed by his sister that Harry ng long over her. looking into her deep eyes as though he would fill her soul with beaming glances of love and confidence, and did not offer to disturb the arm that rested on his neck, for fear those glowing lips beneath his own should be removed. “Clara, you have conquered. I should in- tleed be a senseless piece of mortality to go, when such eyes as yours coax me to stay and such tempting fruit as this.” He did stop. and long. When next he left the village Julia was not the only one that went with him, nor Harry all that called her sister. _ oo ‘Tue Amegican Wixnxtxos By Paioness.—The London correspondent of Porter's Spirit of the Times, says: I need scarcely say that the stable and the y are heavy winners by the victory of Prioress, for, despite the contempt with which her chance was revarded, they freely backed the mare at the tremendous long odds currently of- fered against her by the betting mea and book- inskers,whose pockets will be considerably eased by the result of therace.
