(!i-;:cnn Nchcmiah (frav, a moderate
farmer, who, to tax his ahili!) to the
trtn.ost could l ot give las daughters met: a selling o;t exceeding two hundred doil.irs. Her six sisters had all married repoctalde farmers and mehanic, and wem well to do in the world. But Molly who, was the beauty ami pride of the family, resolved to look a little higher than her sisters. JShe would not take up with the hum
drum fellers the farmers and me
chanics of Toppingtow n not she. She wondered that her sisters had no more respect for themselves than to marry
such coarse, unmannerly critters. For
tier part, she meant to have a man that was somebody. Before she was fairly eighteen, ihe began to be wooed. Her beauty, the respectability of the Deacon, the Deacon's wife, and indeed the whole fami
ly, early procured her plenty of sui
tor. But they were not .Miss itlollys taste; and though she felt some little vanity in being wooed, even by farmers and mechanic, she was not to tjc thus won. Her first lover was Joshua Ploughalia re. lie was a sober, industrious, moral young man of tw cnty-threc, well to live, and resolved on getting a wife, lie was quite taken with Molly Gray, insomuch that he never pasted her in the street or saw her at church, but his heart heat as though it would fly out of his jacket. "Kht-'s an 'all fired handsome gnl, that,"' said he to himself, and if 1 could : ly marry her, I should be the hap

! wouldn't keep no animal to bark at my
friends, not I. The young man was very cordially received by the old folks, who, after chatting upon a variety of subjects Mich as the last sermon, the last marriage, the last death, and all and singular of the news of the town and after treating him to some fine pippins, which had been well kept through the winter, and also to some boiled cider, which the Deacon had tapped on purpose, retired to rest much earlier than titual, hut pleading as an excuse, tbat to-morrow was Monday, and that it was necessary for them to relire earlier in order to rise betimes for the business of the week. This was as kind and considerate on the part of the old folks as need be. But true love is always diffident; and Joshua's heart beat like a trip hammer before he could muster courage to speak.
'Hark!' said Molly, looking saucily
at rum don t you hear a patridge drumming?'
I'shaw!' exrlaimed Joshua, making
a desperate effort, and all at once planting his chair close beside that of his channel 4what a duced fool I am

the Deacon's pretty daughter, that he thought of little else day and night, liedreampt of her beauty when asleep and mused upon her charms when awake. Sometimes, when driving his oxen, and thinking of his love, he would exclaim 'Come hither, Molly ! meaning Ucrry, the name of his near ox. And he called a favorite bay filiy after the name of the De.icon's daughter. The operations of his heart had an effect upon his outside; and he tuok uncommon pains to appear spruce at church, nt evening p.irtie?, and

'No, nor I don't want to know, retorted the girl 'keep away your filthy hands'' 'Filthy !' exclaimed Joshua, resentfully "there's where you're mistaken Miss Molly. My hands are as clean as

or any other respectable mechanic who
might chance to court ner. 15ut Mr. Anvil too had long since married, and the young man whom she stigmatized by the name of Mr. Wax, had succeeded in softening the heart of a more susceptible lass, so that he was married in a month afterwards. As to those of her rejected suitors who were still unmarried, they had no objection whatever to see her wait. 'Ah," said they "it's good enough for her. The scornfully Miss Molly, who refused so many of the most respectable farmers and mechanics, will be glad to take up with a tinker by and by. So said every body. And the prophesied right, Molly remained unmarried until die latter part of her 23tn year, when to escape the opprobium of being an old maid, she resolved on marryingthe first man who would offer. This happened to be a travelling tinker who stopped to mend her mother's brass kettle and with whom she succeeded in striking up a bargain. He was not only a tinker, but he was a very Turk in the article of matrimony having as many wives as there were states in the Union, loor Molly"! she died in less than six months of shame and disappointment.
