. ‘ Onsioe No: 7 800: ee | THE PERSEVERING BACHELOR. | Mr. Peter Robinson was a bachelor, stout, vosy, and almost forty. Peter had never loved bat once, andthe adoration of his heart had uae bestowed upon Miss Lucy Poppleton ; it, alas! Peter had failed to express his passion at the jper moment, or, in other ‘words, had not come to time ; and one day his heart was lacerated by receiving an envel- | epe of cards announcing thit the delight- | fal zoey. ‘was about to become Mrs, Jimmerson | It wae a termble blow to Peter, but he stag- gered up from itand still loved the object of bis early passion—at a distance. Mrs. Jim- merson Crooks reveled in the delights of ma- trimony, leading fashion, her husband, and Peter—at a distance—by the nose for five years, at the end of which time Mr. Jimmer- sen Crocks chose to depart for another sphere, leaving Mrs. Jimmerson alone ty mourn his Geparture. . | Once more Peter's heartsprang up from dust - toashes, and he looked forward to the time when the allotted period of mourning should | be over, and he could pour forth the pent-up ogscun Gem ears, and ask comvensation ja ‘the hand of the fair widow. One year, taough* | Peter, is surely enough of time. 1 will giya ier one year. Month after Month rolled away until the tenth came, and Peter was determin- ed to wait no longer. A sickish misgiving ot ihe evils of delay droye himto precipitate the: arking. 3 east He cought ihe widg@@™ her home, and with ; all the ardor of @ long pent-up love, poured jortm the tale. The widow heard him, heard lim calmly unto the very last word, ani thea with her delicately perfumed handixerchicr pressed to her blushing cheeks the whitest ot hands, told Peter that he was alas! just ona week too luie; thatsbehad only the week befora promised her hand to Dr.Sticklebeck, whe had so faithiully attended her dear Jimmerson in his jast hour; oh! why did her dear iriend Peter not speek before. A cecond time was Péter’s heart torn into minute tragments; a second time was he sent out into the world to admire—at a distance. , ‘Time sped on, and once more Peter began to encourage hope. Perhaps Sticklebeck might die; he certainly had an apceplectic look; and ure encugh Peter's hope turned out a certain- ty, and Dr. Thecdosius Sticklebeck was within | the short period of two years gathered to his fathers, and the fair widow Sticklebeck was | once more amourner. Peter had learned too | bitterly the dangers of delay to suffer any eti- quette to stand between himself and success. He would not give the widow a year, nor yet ten Months—nay, not even six; but even at the | third month he would goto her with his tale of love deferred; and so he did. We must tran- seribe the widow's own words when the ques- | tion was popped. «Oh! Mr. Robinson, why did you not come before? You know my esteem for you! you know that I would have set aside all other offers tor you; butoh! how can IJ tell you—that only lastevyening I promised Cap‘ain Haw- | kins. Poor, cear, sweet Hawkins! he’s yoar | intimate friend, [know. I’ve heard himspeak #0 highly of you! Oh! why did you not speak before?” And so Mrs. Dr. Theodosius Stickleveck was transformed into Mrs. Captain Jonathan Haw- kins; and Peter was once more left to admire at 4 distance. Still Peter waited and hoped. Something mightturn up, he urged, aid then he would not ailow himself to be too late; and something did turn up, the something being nothing more or Jess than the redoubtable Captain, who tarned up missing, having fallen overboard trom the steam¥oat while out on a target exer- cursion with his company, and sunk like a | stone, owing, undoubtedly, to the ponderuns nature of his responsibilities. The suddenness of this exit, as Peter argued, must certainly act with depressing force oa the widow, and he thought he would not again give ber time to recover and be admired; still etiquette demanded that a little should inter- sYene. Accordingly, when upon a tenth day after the melancholy bereavement, Peter kmocked at the widow's door, bont upon his . errand of love, he rather chuckled to 3 that he was taking time by the forelo. business upon which he came was quietly toid, and once more the widow was In @ torrent of ve) e © leare. “Oh! Mr. Robinson,” she exclaimed, hiding her blushing face in her cambric, «why areyou #0 unfortun ud why aml? Youkoow my esteem for you—but you xre too late! I am already romized. You kpow Connselor Keichum ! my poor, dead-and-gone Hawkins’ most intimate friend. He was with him, you know, when he was called away, and was tie first to communicate'to me the awful intelli- gence. He was such a comforter, and—1 have promised to have him this day two months, This time Peter was crushed. Le had no Words to express his broken-beartedness, but to rush from the house and go ox, as before, admiring—at a distance. It was months before Peter even ventured encourage hope, and even then it flick One day he was walking ina despondent mood trough ose ct the upper avenues, when he heard asudden shout, and staried.. From a} malf-finished building just in front of him he saw, as heraised hiseyes, a stout Milesian mak- | apg gyrations in the xir, from the height of three stories, in cempany with a coping stone weigh- | ing somewhat less than he!faton—thetwobay- ing slipped together from a scaffolding at that height. He saw both Milesian and stonestrike full upon the heads of two gentlemen passing, and the whole four were in an instant mixed in an unextricable heap. Like all oiher spectators, | Peter rushed to the rescue, only to behold, be- tween horror and joy, the last gasps of Coun- sellor Ketchum and the gentleman who was waiking with him, and the pertect safety of tag | Milesian and the stone. ‘This time Peter would trust to no passing of tme, Withont an instaut’s delay more he hail- ed a passing hack and then sped to the man- sion of the widowed Mrs. Counsellor Ketchum. in words of the most delicate and endearing nature, Peter communicated his intelligence to the widow and waited the results, und then be- , tween sobs and tears, claimed her hand for the next set. «Qh! Mr. Robinson,” sobbed’ the widow, | how can you ask me such a thing? How sould 1 know that you wonld be the first to bring me the awful news of my dear Ketch- mm’s decease? You know how I esteem and reapect you, but—but—I am already engaged ! « Engaged !” shrieked Peter, ‘to whom !” “I promised,” responded the widow, be- tween ber sobs, “I promised 2 month ago, that if anything happened I would marry Colonel Snapper.” «You did!” shouted Peter, the whole ap- pearance of his face changing in an instant | frown that of a fiend to a look of unbridled joy. pein did !and who are you engaged to after | «No one,# sighed the widow. « Will you swear this to me ?” said Peter. - “I swear it,” responded the widow, solemu- y. And will you marry me after Snapper is gone? «I will,” said the widow. « Do you swear it?” asked Peter, flercely, «1 swear it,” said the widow, earnestly. “Then you are mine charming Lucy, for the 2tone that ushered the Counsellor into the next world aleo took the Colonel. I saw it with my own eyes.” The next moment the widow was in Peter's arins, and they were inarried ip a mouth. FURNITURE. FURNITURE.
