" Who but Charlie Weaver, clapping her band", as if the idei was full of glee ; " and it looks, for all the worlJ as il I harlie had a little stiff brush pasted uu der his nose. For my part I can t compre hend what e wears it for, unlcsi he thinks himself handsome, and adopts it as protec tion, to keep the girls from kissing him." And again she clapped her bauds, her eyes l.'irly Hashing witli tun. Ill l a unven l aoen mill yet, Saul l-.inil yet, said Kinily Logers ; ' but docs he look o queer ! Tin queer !

She had a cousin, moreover, ho was travelling in Germany, and who role her long letters about the German counts whom she met at German watering places. 3li,s Rogers had therefore a weak ness for moustaches, bin beards, aud foreign 'OCtll). eu-toins in general.

Among the beaux, Charlie Weaver shone, or fancied he shone eon-pieunus His coat was of the late: t cut; his vest Fpriad out into vast amplitude ; and bis boots were of vanished leather, made on red morocco yes, positively on red morocco leimrs. I5ut hia moustache that as the crowning glory! It was bet ween a yellow and a brown, atifl as a hair-lru-h, ami jrrcw bem-atli bis nose like a fire-t of rushes under the .-id of a bill. Charlie was eideiit!y irouJ of j bis moustache, lie often stroked it eon, la ci iitly when talking with the ladies. He trimmed it, with jrri at care, rvcry morning ; and lie was never in a room for tive minute I where there was a mirror, without looking at the charming tiercscence. Charles Weaver or, as the girls fainil- 'iarly termed him, Chailie Weaver Imd been a very "cii-ible youi man until be went to Loudon to study medicine, lie there caujiht the moustache rabies, a madness I verily believe as infectiou anions' voun men, as hydrophobia is pretalciit anions doss. Nature was a little obstinate at first; , for only down j:rew w lu re Charlie had w i ! - led for bristles; but, by dint of lrciiuiit nil oud (dialing, and much time ami money , spent OH vurii tM hiiir preparations, he suc ceeded at last in oluiniii;! bis heai t's ib:sire. i'l'hat day was the proiidc-t of Lis life. In his secret heart he believed all the eirls ol the place would be iu lo'.c with him before a week. And now be was at the pie nie, shining I resplendent in that ino;itasie.

Fanny had a purpose of her own to nerve; besides she enjoyed the reputation of doing as she pleased; ami, truth to tell when she now proposed ( opetthageii many of the girls w ho would not have dared to suggest it themselves, seconded lur propo. sal. As for the genth incn, they ull, with one voice, cried out for it, except Charlie. And what do vou say, 31r. Weaver!" demurely asked Fannv. " You are silent, I see. Have vou forgotten how to hold lnit- ! tercups under the girls' chins twirl the plat- ter at pawn, or catch a partner at t open- bagcll ! ' I opciihagen . said he, as it trwng to recollect. " 1 believe that . the game w here the gentlemen kiss tlie girls, is it not , I Exactly so," replied Fanny ; " that is, if they can." I " And if I play at Copenhagen, and catch you, will you play fair, and let me kiss vou!" in.mired Cl.arli..'

As for Funny, the minx touch her hands, in order to entitle them to ', struggle at least for the kiss. i "Now. that' not exactly fair, Miss Al- ! levne," drawled Charlie. " .Mind, if I sue- ceed in touch-in" your hand, when I am in 1 tho ring, you must play right.

We country- bred gills are not over lastidious, I know ; , i but u do 11 t allow young gentlemen to put their arm round us. A peal of laughter broke from the crowd. Her look was so serious so much in cot,. trust with l.er lat.j mirth, that the whole thing was in.-xprcasibly ludicrous. Charlie drew back, abashed (or a moment; but covering himself, ho said 'This is but a breach of your a'-rteiiient. i You s;iid, Mi-s Alleyue, ou would r!,l) fair. Vou haid, if 1 became entitled t - it! by the laws of the r am--, I iniht kiss you.

' Theu there was another general laugh. Chat lie was foleed to acknowledge, that Fanny was right. ' Vou wire V ki-s me if you could; that was the bargain, was it m 1 1" She looked seriously round the circle ; all conle-sed that she w.-is right. " Yes said Charlie, '' that was it.'' She folded her anus, stood Mraigl.t up, and looked him lull iu the face, said " Come on, then Sin- had stood, meantime, without moving a lim-cle of her lac:-, as serious an a judge about to pass .sentence of death. She suf fered Charlie to come- within a foot of her, when she suddedly raised her linger and drew back auaiu " licmcmbcr,'' she sail me, if you can."'

" No you won't, ntnl y hi can t, Charlie," said Fanny, calling him I V the !:ni.:ii-.l name the lirst tune that day, and she spoke ill a wheedling t.uie ; "its a mile and more fioni the edge of that moustache, of yours to the mouth underneath, and you never could get our iips to mine, if vou were to try at it lor a wcik." I wi-h vou could have heard the peal of laugnt. r thai tnirst lortli, as l aimy demure, provoking air, said these with a words. The old woods positively rocked to the echo. The fat young man, that I have already told ou of. rushed to the edge of the crowd, threw hiieelf on the grass, and rolled there ill a tTonies of laughter. i he girl- one ai.d all. held tlieir handkerchief to their mouths. Fanny only was polite. There e stood, demurely regarding I har.ie, with tiul a ves tige of laugh on her face, except a roguish working of the corners of her mouth The butt of ail this remained regarding her lor a second, anger and shame mount ing llood rcd to his very forehead. He tried, at first, to brave it out, but the at tempt was vain; and at last, with an audi ble oath, he turned his 1 act; on his fair f ir- mentor, and rushed madly aw ay. Uur village was never troubled with a lnoustasehe after that. The ridicule that pursued Charlie, when Fanny s jest came to be known, drove him lrom the place, and no successor has t v.-r ventured to sport a niousia-che there since. Occasionally a travelling dandy stop.-, at the inn lor a night's rest, ami on such an occasion a mou-laschc may be seen for an hour or two iu the quit t ureet ; but at other times the article is as scarce as money in a poet's pockit.

The N'orwalk Fvp'oiinciit gives us an in teresting account of an creciivc effort on the part of etif.-iifi ladies to bring the .Maine law to hear iu that vicinity. The history is as follow s : A PiiivArr 3I.M'r. Law A fair. On Thursday last our tow n w as the tlicnt re of most novel ami exciting scene, such as w e some titiics read ubout, but rarely witness. Some half a ibut n females, more or less, all mar ried, we believe, and of respectable stand ing in society, residing in Fairfield, Steam Ct. 'tiers, wi re arrainged before A. (i. Sutton, M-ti., of this town, on the serious charm? of r'1' . l" complaint ot a man named Kirt- l"'"!, innkeeper of that town. The circuui- t'ues of the case, as we learn them, are these : Some one or more ladies of that place knew, or fancied, tn it the aforesaid iunkec- l' furnished the inebriating draught totbeir husband or husbands. Whereupon apian of operations was concocted to put a t..p to tV practice. Accordingly, the aggric ved ive, it, company -i'1. some dozen or fif- teen in th boring women, called upon tl.o aforcsai I landlord, preferred there charge-, of selling liquor to their misguided husbands (which the landlord stoutly denied) and demanded a pledge of the totalsurrendcr of the traffic, but the answer to which not pro ving sati-fj' tory, they proceeded to the cel lar of the hotel, which they entered by au open outside door, and turning the faucets tj tin- liquor barrels. 1, t the fiilltr run. After which they, quietly ami unmolested, retired. Hence the action for riot. Thu fair prisoners were eseoited into town by a Urge number of ladies and gentlemen from Fairfield, ami were received at the Hall of the Sons of Temperance here by a crowd of Norw alk ladies in waiting. The exs iiina tiotl took place iu the court house, which was filled to the brim with eager spectators. Not being present, we can only speak of the result, which was a triumphant aequital without the argument of counsel. Tbe fair prisoners wive, iu every sense, of the word, the ' lions " of the day the observed of all osi-crters." They were toasted and feas ted with a free dinner it the Mjiisioii Hotel, and showered with Uoqui Is by our tow ti 1 1-die-, an, I at evening serenaded by too brass l and. All in all, it was a scene rarely wit nessed by our u-tiaUy q-iict town, (hi thu ( announcement of acequittal by the Court, a shout went up that sin. ok the walls of the court house to its very foaudntion.
