TUCSiSDAY, AFIUL 21, tSIO.

The Widow Bedott Bctlres to a Grove In the Kear of Parson SaJCle's House. Sho sits down on a log aad sings in a plaintive voice: Ere love had teacbed ray tears to flow, I wa uncommon cheerful. Bat now such misery I dew know I'm alwaj 8 sad aod fearful. What peaceful hours I once enjoyed. All on summer's day ! But O, my comfort was dtstroyed. When Bhadractt crossed my way ! I heerd him preach I heerd tim pray I Deerd him sweetly slnn ! D-ar hoi! how did I tel that day T it was a dr. adful thing! Full forty dollars would I give If we'd coniinured erpart, For tuonscb. lie's mode my spirit live, lie's surely bust my heart 2 (She sighs profoundly and the Elder advances unexpectedly.) " Good gracious! ia that you. Elder Sniffles? how you did scare me! Never was so flustrated in all the 4ay3 o' my life! hadn't the most remotest idee o' meetin' you here "wouldn't a come for forty dollars if I'd 'eposed you ever meander'd here. I never was here aforo, but I was a sittin' by my winder and I cast my eyes over here, and observed the lofty trees a wavin in the gentle blast, and heerd tbe fethered singster warblin' their miloncholy music, I felt quite a call to come- over, it's bo retired and romantic such an appropriate place to marvel round -in, ye know, when a body feels low-spirited and ttnconsolable, as I dew to-night. O, d-e a-rl" " Most worthy Mrs. Bedott, your evident depression nils me with unmitigated sympathy. Your feelings, if I may bo permitted to judge from the language of your song, which I overheard "You didn't though, Elder! tbe dreadful suz! what shall I dewf I wouldn't a had you heerd that song for no money! I wish I hadn't come I I wish to graciou3 I hadn't!" " I aesura you, Mrs. Bedott, it was unintentional on my part, entirely unintentional; but my contiguity to yourself, and your rroximity to me, were such as rendered it impossible for me to avoid hearing you." - " Well, it can't be helped now; it's no use crying for spilt milk, but I wouldn't bev ye think I know'd you ever coma here." " On tbe contrary, this grove ii a favorite resort of mine; it affords a congenial retreat after the exterminating and tremendous mental labors of the day. I not unfrcquently spend tho declining hours of evening here, buried in the most profound meditation. On your entranoa I was occupying my customary seat beneath thu; umbrageous mountain-ash which you perceive a few feet from you; indeed, had not your mind been much preoccupied, you could scarcely have avoided discovering me." ' "O gran'ther gracious! I wish I stayed at hum! I was born for misfortia and nothing else! I wish torn. masey Id stayed at hum to-night I but I felt as it I'd like to come here once afore I lea7e the place," (She weeps.) "Ah, indeed! do you project leaving Scrabble Hill?" . . " Ye, I dew; I calkilate to go next week. I mu&t hear you preach once more once more. Elder, and then I'm agwine somewhere, I don't care where, nor I don't care what becomes o' me when I git thar." (She sobs violently.) "O, Mrs. Bedott, you distress me beyond limitation ; parmie me to inquire tho cau'ie of tWs uncontrolablo agony? "Ol Elder Sniffles, you are the last indiwidual that ought to ax such a question. , O, I shall dial I shall give it up I" "Madam, my interest in your welfare is intense; allow me to intreat you Btill moro vehemently to unburden your mind. Perhaps it ia in my power to relieve you." "Believe me ! what an idea. O, Elder; you will be the death o' me if you make me revulge my feelin's so. An hour ago, I felt as if I'd a died aforo I'd a said what I hev said now; but you've draw'd it out o' mo." "Bespected madam, you have aa.yot promulired nothing satisfactory; permit me "- ' "O, gran'ther grievous! I must come to't! Well, if I must I must; so to bceio at tho beeinnin'. When I fust heerd you preach, your sammons onsettled my faith;" but after a spell I was convinced by yer argefyin' and gin up 'roneou3 notions, and my mind got considerably carm. But bow could I set Sabberday after Sabberday . under the droppins o' yer voice, and pot be?in to feel a more'n ordinary interest in the speaker?,' I endeavored not tew, but couldn't help it; 'twas in vain to straggle against the feelings that prepossessed my buzzom. Bat it's all over with me nowt Felicitude is at an end my Bittiwation is hopeless 1 I shall ga back to Vig?letown next week, and never trouble you no more." " Ah, Mrs. Bedott. you alarm" "Yes, you tiever'll see no more trouble 'with Fris?illy. I'm gwine hack to Wiletown. tan t bear to go back there Bother, on account o the mdivriddiwals that 1 come away to get rid of. There a Uappen La noot. ho s always been alter me ever since my husband died, though I baint never gin bim ' no incurridgemcnt but be wont take no for an answer, I dread the critter's attentions. And then Squire Bailey he's wondertul rich: but that aint no reo ommendation to me, and I've told him so time and again, but I spose he thinks I'll come around bombye. And Deacon Crosby, he lost his para iner a spell afore I como away, he was very muoh pleased with, me, ho s a i wonderful Eoe man make a fast rale husband. I kind o' hesitated when he promulgated his sentiments tew xae, told him I'd thiok on it till I oome hack I spose he'll be at me as Boon as I git there. I bate to disap-. point Beacon Crgrby, he ia such a fine man, and my companion sot so much by him; but then I did not feel for him as I do for . He is a Presbyterian tew, and I do not think it would be right to. unite my destination to hisen." " Undoubtedly in your present state of feeling the uneongeniality would render a union" .... "Oh, dear, dear, dear! I can'rbear to go back tbere and inquire their attentions, but thank . fortune they won't bother me Ion?, I shall go Into a decline. I know I shall as well as I want to know it. My troubles will toon be over, I shall die and expire; my children are well off, my darter is married to a man wun money; ondoubtedly they will put up a monument to my memory; I have got the description all ready for it; it save: Ilre gieeps Prettily P.

casion to journey through that section i of country, and could consistently with my arrangements, make it con-! venient to tarry for a short time at Wiggletown, I asseure it would afford me much pleasure to visit your grave agreeably to your request.' "O.Elder, bow onfeelin'!" " Unfeeling! did I not understand you correctly when I understood you to request mo to visit your graver ' Yes- but I don't see how you can be so carm when I'm talkin' about "'l "assure you, Mrs. Bedott, I had not the slightest intention of manifesting a want of feeling in my remark. I 6QouM regard your demise as a most deplorablo event, aad it would afford me no small degree of satisfaction to prevent so melancholy a catastrophe, were it in my power." " Well, I guess , I'll go hum. If Sally should know .you was here a talkin' with mo she'd make an awful fuss." Indeed, I 6ee no reason to fear that my domestic should interfere in any of my proceedings." "O lawful1 sakes! how dumb you be, Elder! I didn't allude to Sail Blake I meant Sail Hugle; she and you're engaged, tew." . . '"Engaged to Mis Hugle! You alarm me, Mrs. Be .' " No, don't undertake to deny it, Elder; everybody says h'fl a fact." " " Well, thep.it only remains for me to assert that everybody is laboring under an entiro and unmitigated mis: take." . "You don't say so. Elder! well, I declare I do feel relieved. I couldn't endure the idee o' stayin' here to see that match go off. Ehe's so onworthy so different from what your companion had ought to be and so lazy and makes such awful bad poetry; and then she haint worth a cent in the world. But I don't want to say a word against her: for if you ain't engaged now, mabby you will be. O, Elder! promise me, dew promise me, now'J you won't raarry that critter. 'Twonld be , a consolation tew me when! I'm far away on, my dyin': bed to kaow" (she weeps with renewed energy.) ".O Elder. I'm- afeared I'm gwine to hev highsterics. I'm subjick' to spasmatio affections when I'm excited, and overcome. " " "You alarm me, Mrs. Bedottl I will hasten' to the house, and bring the sal volatile, which may restore you." "For the Lord's sake. Elder, don't ?o after Sail; she can't dew nothing or me. It'll only make talk, for she'll tell it all around 'the village. J ust take, that 'ere newspaper that sticks out 'o your pocket, and fan me with it a little- There, I feel quite resusticated. I'm obleeged tew yon; guess lean manage tew git hum now." (She rises.) u - ;- "Farewell, Elder Sniffles ! adoo 1 we part to meet no more." . ') Ah, Mrs. Bedott! Do not epeak in that mournful strain; you distress me beyond all mitigation. . II a takes her hand. J Jf ray reseat yourself, and allow me to proton? the conversation for a short period. As before ob served, your language distresses ma beyond all duration." "Dew you actually feel distressed at the idee o particg with me? " : , " Most indubitably, Mrs. Bedott." "Well, then, what's the use o partin' at all? O, what hev I said? what hev I saidl" "Ahem ahaw! allow me to inquire are you in easy circumstances, Mrs. Bedott?" - - "Well, not entirely yet, though I feel considerable easier what I did an hour bro a v, i - I imadne that vou do not exactly comprehend my meaning. I am a clergyman a laborer in the vineyard of the Lord: as such you will readily understand I caanot be supposed to abound in the filthy lucer of this worlds My remuneration is small; hence " "O, Elder, bow can you s'posa I'd hesitato on account of your beinl poo?? Don't think on't it only increases my opinion of you; money ain't no objict to mo. 1 - "I naturally infer from your indiffv erence respecting the amount of my worldly possessions that you yourself "Don't be oneasy, Elder, dear don't illude lew it again; depend on't youre jest as dear to , me, every bit nd grain, as ye would he it yo owned ill the mines in logy." , .
