SISTERS STRATAGEM.
BV MARTIN A. AVERY.
Harry Grave was a good looVin?, talen
ted, and repcctable young farmer; with
handsome bouxe, tiic farm, with beauti
ful orchard and gardens, atid plenty of
6" Cattle and brre. ; but all the-e advan
tages be was one of the basbfulfFt fellows
in town, lie knew bis own ttiterent in a
bargain; the value rf bis emtio and bis
crops ; and tbe respective merits of all Ihe
more celebrated preacher, and politicians
in tbe land, much better than he did his
on. For be was continually underrating
biuiaelf ; and bis awk werduexs, and diffi
dence in aooiety, were often leading him in
to some laughable UunHer, that would
crimson bis face with fhnuie, until it re
ceinbli'd a peouy, or a pickled beet.
Now Hattie hia young and pretty sinter,
was lint at tall attl cted io this way, and
numberless wire the times when she had
Mriven by encouragement, and rpproofs,
entreaty and ridicule to overeoine this dis
agreeable hil.il m her brother but all lo no
puipo-e ; for Harry would be awkward
Harry still. And the was io coutiuual
dread w henever ihey went into society to-1
get her, tbat he would get tripped up with
tbe carpet upet a lamp, spill lemonade up-1
on sulue lady 'a drean, carve the goose iuto
ber lap, or aoiuellnog eUe as ridiculous, j
Tired at last of reaoning and rid'culiog, '
Hattie began lo philosophize in eileuce.
She watched bun narrowly for some time,
iu ibis way, and at last became convinced,
that be got alon very well except io the
presence of Sarah Harper, one of tbe pret
tict and most popular belles in thn village,
lr,. i.... i.. t,.A - .r...
" " - p.o.eicuuc , aU'
although Sarah was Balled coquettiah, list
tie thought she discovered symptoms of re
gard on ber part, of quite as deoided a
oharaoter ; although it bud sometimes seed
ed 13 be bar delight to ridicule aud toriueot
bim.
Now a"tcr Fattie carao to this conclusion,
Sarah tJarper received a letter that surpris
ed ber Dot a little, and sent tbe bot blood
to ber checks. Il was tbis :
'Dear Miss Harper: Knowing as you
must tbe disadvantages uuder which I la
bor in addressing you, I hope you will par
don my writing, iu prefereuoo to doing so
personally. I have loog loved you bet
ter than the whole world besides; and the
fear of your scorn, and ridicule, baa done
more towards making me appear tbe awk
ward fool 1 am not, thai any thing else
in tbc universe. You may not believe tbis, j the first time ia hia life offered bis arm to Sa
but it in true; and it is also truo, tbat with .rah, and wa accepted,
your tiiiileg, and encouraging wordB I Bbould Rut now Harry's oouroge failed. Hia,
be b. very different man. Ob, will you diffidence returned in all its foroe, and be
! wnt writ nri t.ll n.ft I do not love in vain :
and tint the hitherto unconquerable diffi
dencn I ever displayed in your presence,
has nut disgusted you, past redemption,
with luy name and character.
Yours, &.,
Harry Gbavb.
A ,pw mornings after tbis note bad been
recvj:V by Miss Harper, Harry and his
i!r?NrVre sitting at tbe breakfast tabb
when one of the servants brought s pack
age of letters and papers from the office :
ouo of which. a very gonteel, gilded, anu
perfumed note, be opened hastily, aud be
gan to read. As he did so, his f ice crim
soned, aud getting up iu the greatest agita
tion he began to psee tbe floor.
" Why Harry 1 what on earth is tbe mat
ter ? you look as if you were going into a
nt, said the mischievous girl with mock
solemnity. " Come now, tell mo, is it a
love letter, a dun, or something even more
mysterious and tertible !'' And seizing ber
opportunity, the laughing girl caught it
from bis baud and fled from the room and
up the broad staircase.
Harry followed with all speed ; but with
bia uual ill uck, Jell vp stairs, which gave
the little nii.-cluet time to run her eye over
its contents, before be could ri;e and recov
er himself.
"Oouio now Harry, up to luy room, and
don't be angry, that's a dear," said she
corxingly. I've been mistrusting this af
fair a long time, but I didn't suppose you
bad courage enough to make the avowal
tbat is implied iu tbat letter.'
' Nor bad 1 Hattie, and this ia why tbis
confounded me so. It seemed to be an
answers lo my thoughts, but not to anythiug
1 have ever written. For I will coufess,
now tbat you have dived into tbe mystery,
tbat I do love Sarah Harper, aud bave
thought perhaps a hundred times tbat I
woula tell ber so ; but I never have. But
somebody must bave mistrusted my feel
ings, and written to ber io my name to
elicit sucb a reply as tbis, or else tbis is a
lorgery.'
' Well, I think I know Sarah's handwri
ting. Let me read it more at leisure aud I
will seo.'
"Dear Sir: Allow me to say tbat I
was very mucb surprised, and I might say
plessed at tbe reception ef your note yes
terday. Tbat you regarded me with fa
Tor 1 have sometimes hoped ; but that you
would ever overcome tbat painful diffi
dence that I often pitied, and (pardon me)
sometimes sported with, enough to ever
tell me so, 1 did not belive, till I recieved
the proofs in your weloome letter. If I
bave really bad any band in produoing that
bashtulness, I am very sorry ; and 1 will
add that if I can in any way restore your
self possession, I am willing to do so.
For in spite ol all your aukvardtrss, dear
Harry, I bave always highly appreciated
your excellent qualities, your generosity
and ral kindness of heart, ever since we
were to school together at tbe Aeadeuiy.
Tbis may eurprise you ; for probably,
with others you have ellen thought sue vain,
fickle aud coquettish, and without plpn s
serious thought. Rut if I kuow myself,
mere is an uauer curreut iu uiy oiaracter,
and motives, which, if you tljfcjt wortD'
yeur while to study, you ean bave tbe pri
vilege, by clliag soon. Aud you may
assure yourself dear Harry, that if you
were not so nuarkuurd and bnshfu I, Sarah
Harper would not address yoa so frankly,
and thus meet you at least half way."
'Well tbis is a curiosity,' laughed Hat
tie when she fioished reading it. 'It is cer
tainly Sarah's writing, as I can prove to
you,' said she, taking a handful of that
youo lady's notes from her writing oase,
and comparing thr-m. ' I here, are you not
convinced, Harry! and who else in the vil
lage rites so beautifully V
'No one cettaiuly ; and tbe writing ia
very similar.'
'It eertain'y is ; and if somebody baa
broken the iou fir you to catch fish you
lik' beat, it will be funny.'
Well, it is a surprising eiroumstanoe
any way ;' sai l the amazed Harry, in ra
titer an agitated lone. ' And what in tbe
world shall I do Hattie? Sarab will sx
post a reply '
'Do, why follow up yonr advantage like
a man, and if you love Sarah Harper, a.
yju say you, d.-, dea'l let this opportuai'y
of securing her alip on any aocount. Rut
din t tell ber you didn't write the letter
site it seesus reo 'ived, until you aro perfec
tly secure of her favor ; for if you do, she
will surely refuse you out of shams for the
rngard sbe lias professed to feel for you
without being asked.'
' Perhaps you are right. Bui Hattie
bow can I get oo'irage enough to visit or
writ to ber? My heart is in my mouth
at the thought of it. I oouldn'tssy a word
to hor if iny life depended on it.'
' Pbaw ! you'll Snd it as sasy as it is
for water to run dowj bill, wben you oeos
get your awkward mouth open,' laughed
Hattie.
At a party a few day after this Harry
met Sarab Harper; aad if be baa any re
mainiag doubts of ber agency ia lb af
fair, tbey were removed by her blushes,
aud evident sonfusion at meeting him.
And, strange as it may saeta, in her agita
tion, b lost bis own ; and through tbo
whole sveuin,'. to Hattie's surprise did not
get upset, step on any bedy's toes, or cut
up any dido to attract partioular attention
And wbea tbey were going home seeing
Hattie was prsvided with ejmpeoy k for

'and it reminds me of the deep debt of

Sarab.'

glad to find tbat my preference is not in

' And I am ob so grateful. But still,
I can hardly believe in its reality, dear Sa
rah. It seems impossible for one with your
beauty, and grace, and wealth, to Uve a
plain, awkward fellow like me.'
, But I do, though,' said Sarab, in a low,
earnest tone, 'aud you may assure yourself,
tbat tbere is do ouu on earth I lov better.
' Then yeu will make mo the happiest
man living by becoming my wife?' said
Harry, who bad forgotten bis basbluiiiess
now; and the low, musically tonod 'Yes,'
made bim so even then.
' Wbat an awful catastrophe!' exclaimed
Hattie, in mock terror, when sbe beard the
result of th interview. 'Ibat great awk
ward Harry Grave engaged to tbe prettiest
girl in tbe village, without even tbe excuse
of a formal courtship. Wbat will lbs gos
sip say!
Ibey may say wbat they please so long
as I retaiu Sarah's affections; said Hsrry,
aud I bop now in time to get rid of tbat
disagreeable patronymic
Now the ice was breken, and tbat terri
ble question answered, tbat puizles so many
to propose, it was easy enough for Harry to
to through tbat 'formal courtship.' And iu
t'aot, be never was happier or more at ease
iu bis life tnan now, in Sarah Harpers so
metv. And h. svrii minnTfld to stand un
before a select assembly, and go through
tbat terrific marriage ceremony, and long
afterwards, without fainting, r tnrning
aauch redder than a boiled lobster.
Ono evening after Sarah bad becom tbe
mistress of Uarrv's establishment, as bs
i- i u u :j. :.u
Hattie in close proximity, she said- -'Harry
bow was it tbat you ever found courage to
write Die tbat first letter I received from
.'' -j ..i
you?'
' I neve did write it,' said Harry, smiling 1
'and to tbis day, it retnaias one of tbe mys

' I at least, thank you, dear sister,1 said
Harry, with a grateful look, 'for without
such questionable interference, I fear I

And I suppose I ought lo pout, and feel

Dr. John Bull, Pofessor of Musio iu G res
bam College, and first sung at a banquet
given to James the First und Prince lieu

The musio is very grand. Tbe colebintcd

dy was worthy to write the wordi for it
but Milton.
''Hail Columbia'' was originally called
"prince Ferdinand's March," it having

Latnartiue's narrative of tbe cirouniotances
attending the composition of the Marseil
laise, aud of the author's personal history,
are exceedingly interesting. His mother
(an old royalist) wrote bim from Paris that
they were siugiug an awful bloody minded
song about tbe streets, and that it was said
be wrote it. Sbe begged him to contradict
tbe charge. He was soon proscibed as an
aristocrat, and fled for bis life. As be was
passing over the Alps, tbe mulettcer wbo
walked by bis side commenced singing tho
Marseillaise Hymn. He asked bim who
composed tbe song, and he replied, a roya
list aod a traitor, nauied Reugut de LT-le,
adding a strong wish that be bad to deal
with bim. Rouget lived until when,
after the Revolution, be was elected to tbe
I Chamber of De puties.
