" Selected. The tlonhlc disappointment. A NEW ENGLAND TALE. There lived, about eighteen years ago, in a small valley bordering on the east bank of the Housatonick river, in the state of Connecticut, Zedckiah Koymond, a substantil Yankee farmer, who had amassed a handsome fortune by the industry and economy of himself, his wife and an only son, named Joseph, who was the sole survivor of six children. Of course, he was a fovorite with his parents, who gave him an education at least equal to any of his ; neighbors; and his hunday clothes outshone them all Although he claimed no superiority over the poorest of his associates, still he was looked upon by many with an eye of envy. Though not tainted with impudence, he was destitute of that awkard bashfulness which characterizes so many of the sons of New England who are strangers to the varied ways of a varying world. ty-two years of age. While setting, one cold winter evening with his parents, around a sparkling fire, regaling themselves with apples, nuts, and cider, as is customary at that season with every New England farmer, old Zedckiah (lor so he was familiarly termed by his neighbors) thus addressed his son: "Josevyou know that I am getting old." "Yes sir." "And your mother is getting old too, and is no longer able to attend to the dairy, and do all the other work about the house, as she used to do. Don't you understand me Josey!" Josey looked at the fire for a full minute without scarcely winking, and then fell to work and ate at least half a dozen large apples, drank a pint of cider, and cracked a quart of nuts before he said a word. "Daddy, I don't know as I exactly comprehend what you meant, but I kinder guess that mother wants somebody to help her about the house. Aint that it, daddy! lXactlV JOSPV. nnii mil Now th?it rrnnd I'n ? J - . - . w V Q-VW girls are hard to be got.' e- j ' And so are good wives " thought Josey. "Now, Josey can't you find some nice, tidy girl, that you would like well enough to to-" "Marry," said the old lady, finishing the question. Josey ate another apple, took another glass of cider and laid some wood on the fire. "Yes, Josey, you're old enough to settle in life; you will be well provided for; and now is the time. Your mother and I married at nineteen, without a dolJar to begin with; and we have never been sorry for ; ifcei. nave we, iucj ; . fr t i, 4Xo Zeddy, not as I know of." "But daddy, how'U I go to work to pick one, I like all the girls well enough, but hang me if I can tell which I like best. I'd rather undertake to nick ! n good yoke of oxen out of a drove of five hundred. However; I'll think on't and next Sunday I'll look at all the gals in the meetin' house, and may-be I can pitch upon one that I'd be will in' to try for. Here the party broke up and the trio retired to rest. r nt n rlrnvo rt it't Tnni.,! I Perhaps there is not a class of people in the civil ized world so uniformly contented and happy as the i peasantry of Xew England. They retire early to rest; their sleep is sweet; they rise early; and resume their accustomed invocations with smiling countenances indexes of hearts unscathed by care. In the family of Zedekiah Raymond, however, this nigiit formed ajtrifling exception. The old lady's curiosity as more man ordinarily excited, as to whom Josey 'Vr - , .

Uefore he had been in bed five minutes he made a selection, full asleep mechanically and slept soundly till breakfast. ''There's nothing like taking time by the forelock," thought Josey. Acting on this principle, he did a good day's work at chopping wood before three o'clock in the afternoon; immediately after which time his mother's curiosity was more excited than ever, at finding him in the act of brushing the oust from his Sunday suit, polishing his boots, adjusting his hair before the looking-glass, and smoothing down his new napped hat with a silk handkerchief. vv nat b in the wind, now Josev, "that you're takm' all this trouble.'"'

She could say no more, but could not help thinKng that she would like to know more about it. While Josey is tackling old Dobbin into a beauti ful pung, we must introduce our heroine to our readers. She was neither handsome nor homely, neither rich nor poor, but a plain industrious girl of seventeen, without either pride or ostentation; a girl whose sole ambition was to please all with whom she associated. In this she was uniformly successful, and thus unwittingly, won the heart of many a swain. Such, briefly, waa Polly Bronson, whom Josey had resolved to woo. It was scarcely dark when our hero was seen tying old Dobbin to a stake in front ot toquire uron son's A slight ran at the door with the but end of

No more was said, Polly blushed a little, but pro-1 ceeded forthwith to prepare herself. ! The moon shone brightlv, thoi breath of wind was perceptible, the ke uary night, and a good road seemed to wings to old Dobbin, and he tound innco hntnm ho r-ojilcl rn lltif or nlirafrf Slim- 1 V cient to sav a dozen words to his companion. "Con- ; found the beast." thought he. "I never knew her to i go so fast betore; but 1 11 pay her to-triorrow, wnen I get her hitched before the oxen to those big logs in the Tamarick swamp." : As the singing-mastsr had not arrived, Joseph j proposed to extend their ride for a mile or two, to j which Polly assented, and Dobbin took his usual I gait, that is to say, at the rate 'of about two miles j an hour. j After a common-place conversation on "matters and things in general," Joseph changed the subject: ! "Polly, I am going to ask you a particular and important question one o'these davs: can yuu guess what it will be:" . I I -..J .1 I 4 wo, josey, niuffu j luh i. Daddy says we shall be well provided for, and that I'm old enough " He hesitated. "For what!" "To to to settle down! Now, don't you understand me!" Polly did not answer, but as Josey took her by the hand he fancied that it trembled a little, and this gave him courage to proceeed. "You see, Polly," says he "that I cl help father to take care of the farm, and you can help mother : about the house, and " "Let's return home, Joseph, I think I understand you, now; but say no more of it at present." "Why, Polly, I didn't mean any offence; that's the last thing I 'd thought of. Hut won't you let me call at the Squire s next Sunday night; "You know, Vr.

At your request, I took something besides apples, nuts, and cider: and it lies heavy on By this time old Zeddy began to think there was i-uiui-umi in tviiiu tiiakiiiu nut. u nielli'. ma good dame had told him all about the dressing up of Josey; the tackling of old Dobbin into the pung; and Josey 's assertion that he was only going to singing-school. He more than anticipated that Josey had been anticipating his proposed survey of the village belles in the meeting-house; by taking his "pick and choose" at the school-house; and that he had come off minus. In no other way could ho account for Josey 's unaccountable taciturnity. But he well knew that cross-questions would only make matters worse: and lie persuaded Lucy to agree to abide the issue. For the three intervening days between (and including) Friday and Sunday, Joseph said nothing to any one about his Thursday evening's excursion. In the meantime, however, "he construed Polly's ' enmot li t nrr r lir ..rln,!" Knt 1 ' A -n. ..ktr.tl llCc answer to his request, that he miVht call at her fa ther's on Sunday evening, in a dozen different ways. At length tho expression, "you are always welcome at our house," settled this part of the enigma.

The outside door was open, which saved Joseph some trouble in evacuating the premises, Nancy Carter had long had an eye on Josey and he knew it. "Any thing for revenge," thought he, and in less than two hours having again tackled old Dobbin into the pung, he was scon passing the Squire's house, with Nancy ot his elbow, looking as gay as a lark. Polly saw it: the Squi. J saw it: the mother saw it. What was to be done While the j old folks were in secret contab, touching the matter l in question, Polly held a consultation solus; which resulted in a determination no longer to trifle with what her father had already pronounced a serious affair, but to violate arbitrary rules which custom had prescribed to females similarly situated. Pursuant to this resolution she addressed to Joseph the following note: "Joseph After your sudden and unexpected departure last evening, 1 found a handkerchief on the carpet, marked with your name.
