She got up a subscription to build a new' t c h

ble'i n the completion of the buildirg. It was
soon wh:-peied, f ir and near, that her wealth
was tmmetise, and 110 ore thought of present.
'rz her a bill. 7 Things went on merrily.
Tlie two merchants she honor d with her.pat.
ronage were desperately smitten, and each
had reason to -believe himself . the favored
swain. Thus prssed the vumrnwr. One Sun.
cay morning, however, in themor.fh of Ne.
vembcr, at about "eleven o'clock, .one. of the
lovers, dressed in his best, and glowing with
hope, called to escort Madame to a Carrtft.
Meeting in the neighboihood. At the same
instant his rival arrived with a rntilar Undcrt
standing. She had oCered to each orthem a
scat in. her carriage. . Looking xbyn&-means'
very amiable atone &nother,-rhey rapped at
the door. No ansvVXt was returned. They,

to do? They had loaned their. horses 0:1 the
promise .of a scat in her carriage, and not an.
other was to ho had.' Indeed scarcely a hu.
imn being remained in , town.- Halt angry
nnd ashamed they skulked back to htif rev
spective.:lodging, and spent the day as , nil
crusty bachelors do in country towc, mum
bling crackers cVs cheese and swigging brandy.
At breakfast, however, next morning it vas
whispered among the boarders that Madame l
B. h id not been at the mccilng. i The lovers
turned red. .- A feeling f alarm -perhaps n
dim idea that they had been b imb jozled-came
over them, and accompanied by the crowd
they rushed to her house. , JPhe doors and ve.
nctians were-carefully closed, and for a. mo
mcnt the group paused until the quesiiun of
forcible rntry could be determined. The two
Attorneys of the place were summoned, dif.
f. rjtl in opinion, cited on each side a r' j.cri
cases directly in point, nd finally flow"; i..v
another with great fury. . The migisirut ahd
constable interfered, an I duringthe melee the
door 'was burst open, and in "the mob wen?. -
Every thing was in perfect order; flowers
bloomed on the mantle; a liille. slipper lay in
one corner;, a oVlicate glove jn another; and
oh the tabUj was found tho following note,
written on musk scented paper, tculcurd'ratt
in the prc.tiesi Italian hand: ; : ,
Adie,"my dear fricn Js. : The first frost
summons rH away;- I cannot: bear to. say
farewell- 1 will be with, you next summer.

It is impossible to siy precisely hat vaa
the feeling of th iny.' Most of them

and for considerable an;ounl of cpsIiT loaned.
A few swore roundly; others slunk otT silent.

ca.h other. He who had loaned the money
declared her an impostor; but the other insis.

bandoned slipper and glove, as memorials t
