SATURDAY. JUNE 23. 1860. A LEAP-YEAR WOOING. BY MELLVILLE BELL. I—Tom Pivcer anp I. Tom Pidger and I are old associates. He Was one of my earliest school companions, and I loved him like a brother. My heart became so full of love for Tom that it could not contain it ail, so I disposed of the surplus by falling violently in love with his sister—a very fine, nice young lady, about a head and shoulders taller than myself. I recollect of sending her ® valentine, in which a military-looking man was depicted kneeling in a green lawn, before a lady to whom he was making a passionate declaration of love ina fat balloon which is- sued from his mouth—in which balloon I took the precaution to insert my initials, to prevent the possibility of mistake as to the identity of the party. In return Miss Pidger presenced me with alarge pink heart make of sugar, which Tom and Fae that same afternoon) but er own heart she reserved for one Raines, a banker, to whom she was married long before I left school. When Tom and I grew up we removed to Edinburg—he to college and I to a bank—and we took rooms together in Queen street. Tom had always been rather a slovenly fellow, but now he became intolerably so. His hat gradu- ally became limp and napless, and though I threw out very broad hints, and at length openly remonstrated with him, the same hat remained in constant use. I tried to shame him out of it by assuring him that he would be taken for an Irishman; and once I bribed the milkboy with a penny to ery after him ‘Who's our hatter’’ but all in vain. His old coat,too, e wore till it became quite white along the seams and glazed at the elbows. It was a very significant fact,that though I passed the college with him times without number, the seedy oid gentleman who used to step out from the cor- ner of South College street, and say in a mys- terious undertone, ‘“‘Any ole cloes, sir?” in- variably addressed himself to me. And really it would have been a very gratuitous assump- tion to hay esupposed that Tom had any clothes older than those he wore. As for his linen, I doubt if he would ever have changed it had not Mrs. Pritchard made & point of taking a clean shirt into his bedroom every Sunday morning before Tom was up, and carrying the dirty one off. Tow ’s hair, from sheer neglect, became long and frouzy. One day, I remember, when he sat down to breakfast, it seemed so dry and matted that I could not forbear remonstrating. ~* Positively, Tom,’’ I said, “ you must pay some attention to your personal appearance. Why, your head is like a mop.” “Is it?” said Tom. “ Let it be so. It saves time and trouble.” I would have urged that the ladies would never look at him if he went so shabbily, but as I knew Tom to be a woman hater—or rather a woman scorner, for hedid not think them worth hating—I waived that point. So things went on as before. I was not a woman hater, for I had become enamored of Fanny Lowndes—such a dear little thing'—had wooed her, and, last De- cember, had proposed and was accepted. Tom," said I, one night whe: were having our usual Pipe by the fireside before ing to bed, ‘Tom, you know Fanny Siwades 5 ““I’ve heard enough about her,” replied Tom. “Well, she and I are to be married next month.” Tom gave a short laugh as if he considered it a good joke. “On my honor, Tom, we are.”” lowed 8 commis:ion of 2 cente. ly amazement was unbounded. I could not the life of me poseatyso for on but as the hange was a good one, and as I remembered uff I got when I spoke of his hair, I considered it Best “‘Dick,’’ said Tom to me at dinner one day, “this is December is it not?” “December? Yes.” “Very cold weather for December ?”’ “Well, rather.”” “I think,”’ said Tom, “I would be the bet- ter of something warmer than this old great coat of mine.” “Of course you would. I’ve said so often. You should get one of those Highland cloaks; y very comfortable; they are fashion- able too.’ And Tom actually came home that evening, in one, presenting, I must say, a very imposing appearance. of the house except in coll a sudden propensity for ie very time when I used to enjoy a read by the fire; “Dick, pat on your hat, and ave a stroll.’” I went, but it was not a stroll. It was any- thing but a stroll. It was a regular unvaried walk to Royal Circus, twice round the cirous, and back again. It was the coldest and bleak- est and most dismal round which could have been selected, Yet this route Tom would take, and no other. Soon, however, he gave over asking me to go—seemed anxious, in fact, that I shouldn’t go. One day, in particular, he appeared fully equipped, and said, am off on a stroil.”’ ‘‘Wait one minute,” said I, “and I shall be “Don’t mind,” said he; “I shan’t be long. It looks as if it were going to rain,’’ and hur- tied out. The afternoon wore away—tea time came, yet Tom had not returned. He didn’t urn till half past ten. ‘Halloo, Tom, you have taken a tolerably long stroll to-night?”’ “Ab! I looked up to see my aunt. She’s not very well just now.” “Your aunt?” ‘Aunt Paterson—mother’s sister. I didn’t think you knew her.’’ I certainly did not—had never heard of her, to my knowledge. Next day when we had finished dinner, we drew our chairs to the fireside, and I proceeded to make some observations on the condition of ret « a “Ob, hang it!" cried Tom, clapping his hand to his coat-pooket, “I have forgotten to post that letter!” He threw on his hat and cloak, and «as of. Half past ten again before he returned. “‘Halloo, Tom,” I said, “you have taken a tolerably long time to post I was up seeing my aunt.”’ aa yes! by the way, is she better to- night?” “Not decidedly so; rather worse, I should say, if anything.” “T am sorry be that; but come let us have a quiet pipe.” “Not to-night, thank you.”’ ishment, for Tom smoked every night with the pa rere glock-work. “Not smoke before “No; I find that it is not agreeing with me. I see Dr. Prout shows that it ruins the consti. tution.”” So Tom retired, and [ sat and smoked alone, wondering whether Tom where this extraordinary chapge might be ex- y onthe outlook for whiskers. | III.—A Dirricuity Sattsracrority Over- COME. The morning following our return, I had a note from Tom, stating that he wonld call that afternoon on very particular business. I men- tioned it to Fanny, who laughed, and appeared to know intuitively what this “very business’ was. Tom came in time for dinner, but he ate next to nothing, and seemed un- commonly nervous. When the thiggs were cleared away, and Tom and I were sittin; alone with a tumbler of negus before us, f broached the subject. “This ‘very particular business’ of yours, to? to keep quiet. Tom, what is i “Well,” said Tom, fingering his glass ner- vously, ‘I shall tell you what it is. You know Julia?” “Of courseI do.” . an down a quantity of negus, and resumed : “Well, I have been thinking—am thinking, in fact—that is—I want to marry Julia—that's all about it;’” and Tom, who had blushed the a it crimson to the very roots of his hair, other ie at the negus, and nearly himself. It was with great difficulty that I could keep from laughing at his embar- rassment—but I did. “Tom,” said I, very solemnly, “I did not expect this of you; at your time of life, too, with the world all before you! Why, it’s suicide—moral and intellectual suicide.’ You think it’s all poetry. Ha! my boy, wait till the curtain lectures commence—"” “Oh! come, come, Dick, this is too bad,”” said Tom, stirring his negus violently. “But do tell me this, Tom; have you caleu- lated the prodigious rate at which children aie! Have you read Dr. Malthus book ? Ho! Tom, Tom!” I could refrain no lon er, and inenes right out, to the infinite relief of Tom, who laughed right out too, and got ex- cessively jolly at his own expense. ‘Now, then,’’ you know what I want,” said he, at length, ‘tell me how to go about it.”’ ““Why, propose.” “Propose! of course; but how to Propose,— there's the rub. I attempted it on four dif- ferent occasions, and always stuck at the tick- lish bit. I thought to propose by letter, and began half-a-dozen different sheets, but could not write one to please me. I tried poetry, and failed there too. Now, Dick, what I want is this—t want you to tell me exactly how you managed it, and perhaps I could do so to.’ “I popped the question ina ver simple way—quite unpremeditated, too. I had been spending an evening with Fanny, and at last got up and said, lle out my watch—this one,) ‘It is late. I must be off.’ ‘Oh, no,’ she said, ‘It can’t beten yet.’ ‘Look for your- self’ She looked and observed the landscape on the face here. ‘Oh, what a sweet little cottage!’ she said, inting to it. ‘Dear me, so itis, I never looked at it particularly before: What would you say, sgn + toour taking a nice little cettage like that for ourselves, eh, and set- tling down there’? Well. she blushed, and I kissed her and said, ‘shall I, love?’ and she squeezed my hand, which means, ‘Oh do,’ and 80 the thing was settled.”’ “By Jove!” cried Tom, striking the table with his hand, “that’s admirable! I could manage that, I think. Dick, give me your watch for a night; there’s nothing on the face of mine.”’ The watches were exchanged in an instant, and Tom who could not wait a mo- ment longer, put off for Royal Cireus, in a state of intense excitement. It seems that on the way Tom's excitement ‘om, who could not be coaxed out evinced rnoon walks—a m for them. ‘Dick,’ he would at letter.”’ exclaimed in considerable aston- could be insane, and became so HSE rele that he was obliged Tom's face became grave in instant, and | pected to end. ; to fortify himself with two separate glasses of after looking steadily at me for afew moments, Next night I was up making some arrange- brand - He reached Col.

I suppose. Wait till the curtain lectures commence; —_ won’t find much po- etryin them. Children, too; why, my dear fellow, you li haye your house swarming with them before you know what you are about The rate at which children multiply is pro- digious. Have you read Mr. Malthus’ book— his -Essay on Population?’ Read that book.” “I bave read it.” ‘ ' “Read it again, and apply it to your own ease.

It’s bad enough to have these young Pritchards caterwauling night and dsy in the nursery there; but wait till you are in the midst of the Babel and can’t escape. Wait till you have to wipe the children’s noses, like that poor wretched Pritchard, and be badgered out of bed whenever a child so much as coughs. You'll know what the poetry of lovers is en, my Trojan.” Tom concluded with a prophetic jerk of his head, and proceeded to relight his pipe. “I have oa feared it might come to this,’’ continued he, ‘since that time you fell in love with my sister Ma . Her marrying Baines was clearly a Providence in your be- half: it was another Providence that we came here and saw the life that poor wretch leads between his wife and children.

So I got up and told him that it was no use of talking, as the thing was all settled.

Kee ing it to my- self, however, I went home and found Tom sit- ting ruminating over the fire. “Ah, Tom, I thought I should have caught you smoking.” “No, Dick, you won’t catch me at tha’ id he gravely, tapping himself waisteoat, ‘that I am better without it already.”’ ‘Dear me, already! Then Dr. Prout must be quite correct. Oh! by the way, I have sad news for you, to-night. “What?” enquired Tom, witha very long face. “T hear that your aunt is dead!” “Eh?”’ cried Tom, wheeling roand in his chair and giving me a look of curious surprise, which is quite indescribable. “Dead and gone, Tom, is your your mother’s sister, you know! irs.

Appre- hensive that if he lost this o portunity he might get no other that night, he pulled out the watch and said : “Getting late, Julia, I must be off.”’ ‘‘Late, why it is not seven yet.” “Isn't it? Look for yourself,’ said Tom, turning the face of the watch towards her; ‘“‘ah! your watch is not right; look here.’’ Julia looked. ‘Why it is not seven on yours either."’ ‘Dear me,’’ said Tom with an as- sumption ef great astonishment, “ neither is it.

Tom was out, and asl could not wait, I sat down to scribble a note inviting him up that night to tell me the result. I took his desk, aud was rumaging for a sorap of paper, when my eye fell on a sheet scribbled and blotted all over with what I at once perceived to be Tom’s matrimonial pro Is in verse On the first page he had collected a host of rhyming words to be introduced as they might happen to suithis turn. There were bliss and kiss, sing and ring, life and wife, and many other sentimental monosyllables. Then there was Julia snd pecaliar, with a query after it; also Purdy with sturdy, and hardy-gardy, but he had drawn his pen through these. He even attempted Pigder, but apparently without suc- cess. On the next page were his numerons ef- bie to put these together after various mod- els: Julia, you ing the pipes in Tom’s pocket; ‘* To be or not to be, that is the question.’’ Then a blank line ending with the word “ di- gestion” scored out. After that came— ‘* Nota word can I speak, not a letter or note Can { write to convey my suggestion.” followed .by two blank lines ending with the word “‘question.”” Then came an adaptation of a popular <i, “ Beautiful star! for star thou art, Twinkling over my smitten heart; O, that I could call thee mine! Star of my bosom ! star divine !”’ After this were some curious hexameters about— “ His mere cold and black, and his home full of sadness and sorrow;”” and at least half-a-dozen copies, with varieties of his greatest and final effort, which was fairly copied out by itself in the centre of the last page— ir aunt— rs.

I had scarcely finished my note when Tom came in. His dejected look told his story at once. “Come, come, Tom, Kha mustn't get down- hearted. Never say die, you know, while there's a shot in the locker!” Tom shook his head despairingly, as if con- scious that the locker had been completely nig! .

And I felt sure, from the mischievous expression of Julia’s eyes, that she was just the one to do it, though it ‘were for nothing but the fun of the thing. Accordingly. Fanny set out for Royal Circus, and I expected to hear nothing more about it till ber return; but just as I was wager 3 down to tea, a cab up at the door, the bell rang furiously, and in the twinkling of an eye, Tom burst into the room in a perfect transport of delight, with his head more like a mop than the I told him it was, and a hat far too small for him—Col. Purdie’s, it must have been —s#tuck on the very back of his head “Shake my hand, old fellow,” cried Tom, stumbling over the cat, and nearly overtarn- ing the tea things; shake away, it’s all right— it’s all settled. “What's right?” “galia, of course. “What year is this ?=the year—be quick man! Confound it! don’t you know what year it is?’’ and Tom in his impa- tience accompanied each word with a poke of his knuckles. “ Why, it is 1860.”? ‘Leap year,”’ eried Tom, giving me a fright- ful dig in the ribs and sent me sta; ering against the wall.
