mSCELLANEOtO. . . 1 TWO TARM Or JACOJTBT, or a HUSBAND I wish," said Mary Ann,I had two yards of jaconet. I want it very much to complete this, dress for the next birth-day of Richmond. I want, besides, a pretty large length of peagreen ribbon. . 1 want a feather, a white feather, to my last bonnet. 4 want n V 14 Well, my dear,said Louisa, her companion,"well, my dear, it seems you have wants enough. Pray how many more things do you want besides !' -.. .-"More! returned Marv Ann, why a hun dred more, to be sure,' said she, laughing; ;but ru name them all in one; I want a husband a real downright husband . ,-t'Jndcedl' said Louisa, 'this is the first t'me I ever heaid you talk of such an article. Can t you select out one among your many admirers V, - ;, 'A fig, for my admirers! I'm tired I'm sick I'm disgusted with my admirers. One comes and makes silly compliments; says, 'Miss B , how pretty you look to-day;' another sickens me with his silly looks; anoth er, is so desparately in love with me, that he can't talk: another so desparately in love wiw himself, that he talks lorevei. un: i wish i were married; I wish I had a husband; or, at least, two yards of jaconet, to finis!) this for the Richmond campaign. . Mary Ann B was a gay, young, rat (ling creature, wbojhad lost her father and Dart of her heart at fourteen. She was now even teen; possessed a fine figure, rather em' bon-point not tall, but very gracefully rounded ofT. Her profuse auburn renglets clustered negligently round a pair of cheeks, in which the pure red and white mingled so delicately, that where the one began, or the other ended, no one could tell. Her eyes were dark blue, but possessing a lustre when lighted up with feeling or enthusiasm, which defied any cne to distinguish them from burn ing black. Her motions were light, airy, and graceful, iier foot and ancle were most elegantly formed; and her two email, white hand, with soft, tapering fingers, were as aristocratic as could be imagined by a Byrou or an AH Pacha. Since the death of her father, which was a period of about two years or more, she had many admirers, seve ral decided offers, and not a few who hoped, but durst not venture upon the fatal question She laughed at their offers, ridiculed her ad mirers and protested she would never marry till she had brought at least a hundred at her feet. r or several counties around, up and down James's river, she was quite a toast among the young planters. In those days, the white sulphur, blue sul phur, and hot sulphur springs, were not much frequented; but people of fashion in lower Virginia, tne wealtny planters, were jU8l beginning to escape to the Blue mountains during the autumnal months. In one of those excursions, the party of which Mary Ann made a lively member, was overtaken one af icrnoon in a sudden ram storm, at the en- - ance of one of the gorges of the mountains. with a sort of top resembling that of a gig, to spread out when a shower broke ,ver them I-.. i n unvcmnE in an ODen carnar. wun suaaen violence. On the present occasion the leather top afforded to the ladies a very inadequate shelter from the torrents which fell down from the dark heavy clouds nKnoo Tho f, f L, .1 . -- - nuuac uiey approacned was therefore kindly welcomed. They dismounted, went in, and found several vounir ntt.. men surrounding the hickory fire, which was cracaiing roost merrily on a lare wide hearth. . . A young man, of rather modest, easy, hut -u-wluo.yc manners, rose up at the approach i AMnry nilll.Hlia One red her hi rliir. si,accepted it, with a slight inclination of 1.neao, ana a quiet glance at his general appearance. Nothing remarkable look plate at ims interview, but a Tew days'after, when they all had reached the foot of one of the mountains, which was snnmnri.i . place of gaiety and fashion, the young genlle- ....... .U.UKHJ introduced to Alary Ann, Hi His sT f . i ? 7 v- . .

As usual, she wuuie iiigai in minking, crvine. de iterating, grieving, wondering, and next luwiuuig acm iiioi a iiai relusal.

sort of thing. One-of the professors enter tained me a good two hours the diher evening with the loves of Dido and JEnas. I with I had a couple of yards of jaconet. . Ur a nuahand - - Ora husband either, I donU care which; come, my love, let's a shopping in this classic town.' , The two ladies immediately rose, it was about noon-day, put on their bonnets, took their parasols, and sallied foith. 'l'or a husband, or jaconet, you say T 'Two yards of jaconet, or a husband." s The town of Williamsburg, like every other town in Virginia, or even New-York, does not contain many stores. A shopping expedition is therefore soon completed. I he tvo ladies sauntered into this shop, then into that, sometimes making the poor fellow of a shop-keeper turn out his whole stock in trade, and rewarding his pains by the purchase of a sixpenny worth of tape. They had proceeded for an hour in this lounging, lazy shle, when Louisa said, 'Oh. Mary Ann here is an old beau of yours in that store, with the red gingham flapping at the door like a pirate's flay; eome, and let us plague him for 'auM lang syne,' as Mrs. McDonald, the Scotch ladv of Norfolk says." 'Certainly,' said Mary Ann, ;bul which of my old admirers is lit 'Have you got your list in your pocket?' Not at 1-11,1 left it nt my grandmother's at Richmond; what a pity : The two wild creatures, bounding like a couple of fawns over the forest glade, for they 1 si . . . . were reeKICSS Ol ine Dill) he Amnion amnncr the nld dowagers and staid maidens of Wil liamsburg, entered the store and asked for a sight of gloves, muslins, and ribbons. Mary Ann did not seem to pay much attention to the tine articles shown her. She ever and anon cast her eyes bv stealth round and round the store, endeavoring to discover if she re cognized any of the faces, as that of an old acc.na'iitance. She could see nothing to r& pay ner euori. oi a lace had she ever seen before. She summoned up to her recol lection all her former admirers, they passed through her mtud like the ghouls 111 Macbeth for, notwithstanding her rejection of so many lover, site ever retained a certain portion of regard lo every poor lellow who had fallen a victim to her whim, beauty, witchery, and ca price. 'This is an Arabian desert,' said Marv Ann sighing, to Louisa, as she split a pair of kid gloves, in endeavoring to get them on. 'Oh! no,' said a gay young shopman ;in deeu,anss, they are the best French kid.' 'Pray,' skid Louisa, in a low lone. don' you 6ell any thing in the backroom of the store. In a remote corner of the store, I here stood nt the desk a plainly dressed gentleman.Iean ing over ihe corner of a wooden railing, his eyes firmly fixed upon the two ladies, now so actively engaged in tossing over the counter all sorts of merchandise and light French good?. As I live,' said Mary Ann, 'there is my old oiuv iviuge Deau. un, how wet 1 was, ... I ' - J .1 c.l I ... "iuppiicu sue, -orencnea with a summer shower, when first I was thrown into his so I I. I: I.

VVhith this sally the ladies bought severa articles, scarcely caring whether they suited them or not. When they left the store, Mary Ann fell into a reverie, was quite silent, which lor her was unusual and singular. Louisa's spirits, on the c ontrary, gathered life and energy as those of her companion sank Hwav. She talked, he laughed, she ridiculed her neaux, she rallied Mr Ann, and looking in to her for-once melancholy face said, 'so, my love, you are caught at last.' Caught r said Mary Ann, indeed vou are much mistaken. 1 do not think that is to say, I fancy I should not like to marry my Blue Ridge hf-Mu. Oh! Louisa,' said she, after a pause, with atear in her eye, what a foolish creature I have been. Mr. Collingwood, for that is his name, I am sure, quite sure, does not think of me, but I cannot remember the attention he once paid to me without a feeling of regret. Why? now what's the matter with you t After refusing so many, are you going to mrow yo-irsell away upon a shopkeeper! A aescenoant ol one of the most anscient fami lies of Virginia, to marry a shopkeeper!' aias: aias: Louisa, what is descent What is fashion? What is the life I have led! Do you ee that little white house, with the green Venihan blinds, across the street! I was one evening in that house. I saw enough to satisfy me that I have been pursuing pleasure-, not happiness. Oh! if I t otild only feel as thai young wife does! .r lou ,,ugh I am ure I do not think of air. soiling ood but there was a time when his soft, quiet, affectionate maimer, did tourh me most sensitively.

ry Ann. Iter gay, brilliant sallies of wit and ridicule . were moderated amazingly. She became quite pensive; singularly thoughtful for a girl of her unusual glow of spirits. When Ltouua rallied t.eron the shopping ex cursion, she replied, 'Indeed, Louisa, 1 don t think I could marry Mr. Colltngwortb: be sides, he has forgot every feeling he may nave entertained towards me.' In a few days after this event, a party was given one evening at a neighboring house, The family in whit h Mary Ann resided were all invited. Ihe moment of re-union aporoached. and Marv Ann. dressed with creat elegancc, but far lets splendor than usual, A,r iB eni..in. found herself at the head of a cotillion, surrounded with several young gentlemen, stu dents of William and Mary, professors, plan ten. and merchants, lhev were nressinp forward in every direction, talking, and calch j ing a word or a lock from so celebrated a belle. Mary Ann, however, did not appear to enjoy the group that surrounded her.' She was shooting her dark blue eyes easily and negligently towards the entrance, ns every new face came forward to see all the par ly. The music struck up, and rallying her attention, she imir.ediatclv stept on on a dos a dos, with that elegance and grace for which she was so particularly remarkable. At the close, as she stood up beside her partner, throwing a beautiful auburn ringlet back up

with sudden -emotion, a quiet, genteel-looking person, at the other end ol the room. : It was Mr. Collingwood She immediately dropt her eyes to the floor, and looked very narrow ly at her lett foot, as she moved it on the toe backwards and forwards, as it were for want of thought or to divert her thoughts. In a few seconds she looked up in Ihe same dirtc tion. Mr. Collingwood still stood in the same position, watching every motion she made, and every look she cast around her. She blushed felt embarrassed and went alto gether wrong in Ihe cotillion. 'What in the world are you thinking off asked Louisa. '1 scascely know myself, said Mary Ann. In a lew seconds the cotillion was brought r auii. to a close, and Mary Ann s partner escorted her to a seat. Mr. Collingwood approached vaas wutii l w wt u. ailU OiWU UCIVIG UVI How is Miss V asked Mr. Collingwood with suppressed emotion. Btion. Mary Ann inal - terea out a few words in reply ply. She dropt her glove; Air. Collingwood picked it up, ''uaA u.,n ' This is not the first time you have lost a glove,' said he, with a smile. She received it, and cast a look upon him ol inconceivable sweetness. Do you dance, again, Miss V 'I believe not 1 am goiLg home. Going home! said he, 'why the amuse meois arc scarcely begun.

' elLsaid he with a smile, I know your positive temper of old. Allow me to get your cioaK lor your Certainly. Mr. Collingwood left the room. Louisa and several other female friends gathered around her, persuading her on all sides not to leave tne party ere it was begun. She would not remain. Mr. Collingwood aonearcd at the door. In the hall, for it was the fashion K then and there to do so, Mr. Collingworlh took her bonnet and put it on. Allow me, said he, 'to tie the strings ! She nodded assent, and while he was tying the ribbon under her neck, he could not help touching her soft rhph. IIa vt in pirt she was quiet and resigned.

By this moment, Mrs. Jamison, the good lady of the' mansion, approached, and insisted that Mary Ann should not go so early. 4It is really shameful, my dear,' said she, to think of leaving us nt this hour. When I go to menmona, ao l leave you thus abruptly? Why, Mr. Collingworth, can't you prevail upon her to stay awhile longerf lie shook his head. AII my rhetoric has oeen exnausieoy said he,and it has proved unavailing. Mary Ann looked at him verv arcniy. Ll " - Well, now,' continued the lady. 'I insist upon your staying:' and she forthwith Droceded to take off her bonnet, untie her cloak. ana sena ner servant with them into the side apartment Mary Ann was unresisting. She was Mgiii iea into tne room. Collingwood danced with her all the evening. He escorted her home in the beautiful moonlight, and every now and then he pressed the cloak around her, with which she appeared by no means to find fault. In about a month Mary Ann became Mrs, Collingworlh, and immediately as the parson had finished the great business of the eve ning, Louisa, who was one of her maids, whispered in her car. 'two vards of Jacon nr a husband. She smiled and passed her arm
