Hazel Green, Esq., furnishes Porter's Spirit of the Times with the following description of Bob Grapt’s courtship. Bob was a queer fellow, and rather green withal, and what was still worse, very ery oe when among the ladies. One day, I eo a lecturing about his stupidity—told him it would never do—that he was rapidly approach- ing that period when be would be looked upon as an old bachelor, and be despised by all the gentler sex. I saw it made a deep impression en him, so [ went on: ‘© You had better drop those old bachelor no- tious Bob, and get you a wife, before it it ‘eter- nelly and everlastingly too la = Bob blushed deeply—looked infall directions, to see that no third person was in bearing, and then said ; “To tell you the trath, Areh, Ihave been thinking something about the matter; but who ie thore that I could get to have me?” : = Psi ! you are talking nonsense now,” said I. “There are plenty of them, if you would only scrape br Lanse enough to ask them. For invtauce, there's Mell Stinsoh—how would she suit ?”’ “She'd suitto a T, Arch. But you don’t pretend to say I could get Mell; do you?” Get Mell’ Why, yes; certainly I do ; and would not be afraid to bet a hundred dollars on it, if you'd only try,”” said I. This was a new idea to Bob, and he was tickled almost to death with it. After thinking a moment, during which time his face was il- laminated with one of his broadest grins, he ventured to ask me how I would proceed, if I were in his place and wanted to get Mell. I vo him full directions. after which he started ome us happy as a jaybird, promising to go and sae-Mell the very next Saturday night Bob was as good as his word. Saturday night came, and he went over to old man Stiu- son's. Mell was at home, and, guessing his business, made herself very agreeable. obs courage raised filty per cent.; and so, as soon as the folks had retired, he commenced his first courtship. To begin, he found a disagreeable task ; but when once the ice was broken he felt like anew creature. Mell smiled su bewitch- ingly upon him, and said so many charming things. Never before had he known hours to fly so rapidly, or moments to be spent so pleas- antly. ho could wonder at ie for Mell would lean her pretty head down on his shoul- der when he joked her about her beaux, or about getting married. Oh, what a dear crea- ture he soon began to think she was! How he almost cursed himself for having passed so mach of his life in ignorance of such bliss. Before Bob had svarcely time to think, and long before he had come to the point. the old elock struck twelve, and Mell reminded bim it was time to retire. : “But I have not told you all I wish,” said 2. ~ You can come again next Saturday night,”’ she replied, with a most fascinating smile. This was capital. Permission to come again! He agreed to retire. Mell told him where he could sleep; and then, as is the custom in some of the Western States, brought a pot of warm water that he might wash fis feet. The pot was an old-fashioned one—big at the bottom and little at the top—so very little at the top, that Bob viewed it with some misgivings, lest it should refuse to admit his feet. Not feeling willing to call Mell’s attention to the enormous size of these named articles. he hauled off his shoes. and with one desperate thrust, lodged both feet on the bottom of the vessel. Capital luck, thought he, as be sat bathing them. Mell sat near by. waiting for him to get through, that she might remove the pot. At length, the elock struck one. Bob did not seem to notice it, but sat with both feet in the pot, apparently in a brown study “Tt is one o'clock,” said Mell, by way of a hint. Yes, mam,” said Bob, but still kept on with his bathing Two. and then three, were sounded from the old bell; still Mr. Grant paid no attention to it, bat maintained his position in silence, appa- rently resolved to bathe his feet all night. Mell’s patience finally wore out, and she said, arising from her chair ‘Mr. Grant, you can retire when you choose I aw going to bed.” wid on '*’ said Bob, ‘ hold on a minute. What's the price of this here pot?” “ What do you mean?” she asked, vastly as- tonished. “I mean, by thunder’ I'm a goin’ to break bar a and I'd like to know the price of it.”’ “Father! father!’ screamed Mell, “eome here, quick! Mr. Grant's gone mad! Quick' quick In an instant, the old man was with them, nerved and prepared for a desperate struggle. How sadly icppstutes* Instead of finding Mr. Grant a raving maniac, as he had expect- ed, he found him sitting very quietly, with both feet fast in the pot. The warm water had @sused them to swell, so as to become immova- ble. By the united offorts of the three, he was at length extricated; but no words cvuld in- duce him to ain till morning. He started for home with Bob Grant is now an old man, as well as my- self, and not more than three weeks ago, be told me that this was his first and last court- ship. He never could scrape up courage enough to go back. te THE MAN WITH A BUNDLE. You have met him? Barly, broad-shoul- tle careless both in dress and gait, Y opposed to precision of any kiad; and his face—from the curve of the smooth-shaven chin to the gleam of the gold it astride his nose—beams with J humor. About 5 p. m. is his hour, when you can generally see him heading as if homeward. and carrying thitherward a brown-paper-enveloped parcel. From long fa- miliarity with this feature of his personality, we had eome to designate his otherwise auony- moudness as ** the man with the bundle.’ it may have been imagination on our part; but, az we met him the other cold afternoun his face seewed so absolutely radiant with the heat of genial benevolence that we thought the ther- mmometer at the corner of Milk street went up two degrees as he pa-sed.

The following cireumstances happened in Ce- dar Oo., Towa : A eertain young man being eut on a courting expedition came late on Sunday evening, and, in order to keep his secret from his young ac- quaintances, determined to be at home bright aud early on Monday morning Mounted on horse, dressed in his fine white summer pants, and other fixins in proportion, he arrives at the residence of his inamorata, where he was kindly received and his horse properly taken care of, ‘being turned into the pasture fur the night. The night passed away, and three o'clock in tho morning arrived. Three o'clock was the time for him to depart, so that he might arrive at home before his comrades were stirri He sal- lied forth to the pasture tocatch his horse; but here was a difficulty—grass high and loaded withdew. Toventure in with white pautaloons on wottld rather take eut thestarch and lead to his detection. It would not do to go in with his white unmentionables, so he quickly made his resolve. He carafully disrobed himself of his valuable “whites” and placed them in safoty om the fence while he gave chase with un- =" pedals through the wet grass after the Tse. - pearping to the fence where he had safely suspended his lilly white unmentionables—O’ Horribler Dictu! what a eight met his eyes! The field into which his horse had been turned Was not only a “‘horse pastoré,”’ but “calf pas- taro,”’ too, and the naughty calves aie lady the white flag on the fence, had betaken them- selves to it, and calf like, had eaten them up! ouly afew well chewed fragmentsof this once valuable article of the wardrobe now remain- ed—only a few shrods—just sufficient to indicate what they once had been! What a pickle this was for a nice young man to be in! It was now near daylight aud the farmers were upand about, and our hero far from home. with no covering for his “traveling apparatus.” It would not do to go back to the house of his lady love, neither could he go to town in that plight. There was only one rescource left him, and that was to secrete himself in the bushes un- til the next night and then get home under cover of the darkness. Safely hid, he remained under the protection of the bushes for some time, and it may be im- agined that his feelings towards the calf kind were not of the most friendly character; but ere long, his seclusion was destined to be in- truded upon. By and by, the boys, who had been out to feed the calves, returned with the remnants of the identical white ent which adorned the lower limbs of their late visitor. They were mangled and torn to shreds! An in- quest was immediately held over them. Some awfal fate had befallen the unfortunate you! man. The netghbors were summoned to seare for the mangled corpse. and the posse with all speed set out with dogsand arms. The pas- tare was throughly scouted, and then the adja- cent thickets, when lo! our hero was driven out from his lair by the keen scent of the dogs all safe, alive and well, minus the Jane An explanation then ensued at the expense of our hero, but he was snecessful in the end, and married the lady, and is now living com- pileage in one of the flourishing little towns of lowa. Tue Apsiay Hovsa.—The following story is told in connection with the celebrated palace of the Duke of Wellington: It is said that as George IT. was riding on horseback one day in Hyde Park, he met anold soldier who had fought sith him in the battle of Dettingen; and with the soldier he entered in- to free discourse. After talking together for some time, he asked the veteran what he could do for him. Why, please your majesty, said the soldier, my wife keeps an apple-stall ona bit of waste ground as you enter the Park, and if your majesty will please to make us a grant of it, we ae build a little shed and improve our trade. he request being avery moderate one, Wag at once granted. In a little time the old apple stand woman prospered greatly, for the situation was a good one for the purpose, and she carried on a very profitable trade. In the course of years the old soldier died, and the Lord Chancellor, who was looking round for a suitable lot of ground where he might build a mansion fixed his mind upen this very spot The old woman was sadly alurmed when she saw her shed being torn dow nd preparations made to oceupy the ground with a stately man- sion. and she went to her son. who was an at- torney’s clerk, toconsult with him as to the course she ought to take. The son was shrewd enough to #ee at once the advantage that might be gained by remaining quiet until the mansion should be completed. No sooner was the house finished, than the son waited on the Lord Chan- celler to complain of the trespass cimiitted on his mother’s property. aid ‘oc'aim arceo ny ense for the injury she had sustained. When the Chanceller saw the claim was undeniable, he directly offered a few hundred pounds by way of compensation ; but this was promptly refused, as the old woman, advised by her son, would not settle the affair on such easy terms. A —- rent of four hundred pounds a year was nally agreed to; and it is said that the Apsley House pays that amount to this day, to the descendants of the old apple woman. SAS es Ser Lal tit Tag Latest Susrexsiox.—We wero some- what amused with the operations of three oungsters, two of whom were trading for mar- bites. Jew had offered Tom sixpence for bis bag of white alleys and striped taws. and Tom, after some chaffering, had consented to trade. But the operation must be a cash one ; money down, and no credit. This was eventually conceded as the basis of the bargain, and Jem held gut his hand for the marbles. “Money first,’’ said Tom. “Marbles first,”’ said Jem. ye think I mean to cheat ye? say!’’ ex- aimed Tom, indignantly. “Don’t know,” replied Jem ; ‘ticklish times, these ; don’t know who to trust, nor for how long, now a days!” “Well, then.’’ snid Tom, ‘there's Sam, there. You give him your money, and I'll give him my bag of marbies.”’ “Agreed,”’ suid Jem; and the deposits were made. “Now hand over,” said both the traders; but Sem, ore both money and warbles, took to his heels. ‘@ Was “arun”’ on that bauk, sure.
