MISS NIOBE; T- CET A Ql'IIASD. Ia est of the loeiiet val'eya of lie west ef England, stands email toWa railed tireyeione, or eorropu'oa (accord ing to tat Biiqume of ibe piaee) of iu avigutal name ef Crnestose. Near the market place, not far front the town ball, tad at ibe corner of Le street (the mms of which we are not permitted to reveal) drlt a Mr. Simon Ravea, ondei taker; u tbia profession Mr. uaven had former If added those of auctioneer and apprais er, bat whether the two Utter branches broaght him hot email profit, or that bia ream lay exrlueively ia the former we inw not; certain it i. that at the time of which we wn:e, Mr. Rates wu only aa adertaler, but to that he enthuaiaaucai 1 devoted himselC mind and body. Ewf mo'tsiog bis jour, Mrt. Ra ven, might he seen, dressed 4tn a black sslretebak, lesvjng ber hems with the ehariub'e intention of visiting the sick. Is tlifl art of rloeiof th ryes of the dv in j and rendering them the lsi sad oOa C'S. shs had by long pncics acquired a wonderful address. Her apoearaaee ia a bouse was almost a sure sign of ap proaching death, and some of her neigh bors were uachaMaUfo enough to say that aha bad been known to occupy her self , with the funeral preparation even beforelhe breath was out of the body. All the happiness of this thri'ty cou ple (a happiness pit taking. hoeer, of their moody temperament) waa centered in aa only daughter. Miss Niobe Have sj. who also shared the (Winy Ubra of h-f parents. Her greatest delight' was in reading. She delighted in the solemn pages of Sherlock, Hertey, and Dr. Dodd; someiimes, t girt a little t sriety to ber recreations, she tried the poets. It is unnecessary to add that Young's M Night Thoogh'e" andjBlair'a Grass" were preferred to all others. In music, ahe hid a great predilection for The Dead March ia Saul," and the bell tolling, far a funeral had far her a silver sound. But to the canto of these melancholy tastes. . ' . For many years past (wo will not say bow many) Miss Niobe bad been of age, yet she still remained in the sorrowful stale of single blessedness. For manr ys.rs ahe had hoped to establish herself ia matrimonial life with tome swaia of her native town, or the neighboring pa tithes, or, indeed, of sny otherfor the fad is, she was not particular as to where he earns from, so that ha did corns. But alaa! no ons bad presented himself, and this tender cypress found no prop to sup port her. Several years had elapsed, as we have been credibly informed, since young Roots (the son of a market gardener st the end or the town,) thinking that Mr. Raven had gather a more profitable bar vest from the church-ysrd than his father was erer likely to do from his garden, had intended to psy court to Miss Raven; but too discreet a lover, he pad only pro ceeded as far as a few tender glances. Strap, ths barber, too, the most punc tual as well aa the most busy man in the town, Tiad been known to spare's few minutes in his rounds to address a com pliment to Miss Raven: but latterly he had been heard to declare that he never had the slightest intention of converting Alias Kaven into Mrs. Strap. Things wers ia this slate when Mist Niobe arranged a plan to put sn end to her state of desolation. She bad tried in vain to gain a husband by sstaming a gentieneta or manner; and she was now determiaed to act with decision. Exactly opposite to the houie of Mr. Raven lived a Mr. Nsrciatus Nonpareil, draper. This Mrt Narcissus Nonpareil unlike the measurers of cloih, had an as piring mind. No tradesman iu the town carried bis head so high, nor had any better reason to do so, for hia suture was only four feel four. He might be seen every morning standing at his shop door, rubbing alternately his hands and his chin, while iuhalin? the morning air; for ty rant cuttom. as in most small towns, oonSned him all dsy to his thop. Mits Xiobe had seen "and marked him for her own." Mr. Nonpareil bad retired to hia parlour one evening after the cares oi the day, when his shopman en'ereu " Any thin? wsnting, Mr. Smith!" No, sir; Mr. Stoai's clerk has just leTiJthis letter, and has since gone over to Mr. Raven's." Wondering what Stoat, the lawyer, could hae to write to him about, Non pareil opened the letter and read as fol lows. '. SirI am inttructeOv my client. Mr. Simon Raven, to inlorm yon that if you sny longer refuse to fulfil the en gagement contracted by you with Mis Raen. that leiral nroceedinirs will be forthwith commenced against you. ' I sm, sir, your obedientjservant, Cayman Stoat. J To Mr. Narcieeue Nonpareil, lie." It Is not necessary to paint the eurpriee into which this singular epulis) thre w our friend, the drspsr: hs read it over more 'than once; but that only plunged him deeper into conjectures as 10 lis meaning. What engages ate hsd bs contracted with Mits Ravea that Stoat should eall epoa him to fulfil! What proceedings were to be taksa sgaiatt hia for the sc eoapliehmeat of a contract that be bad never heard of before! Ii must surely be soma plesssntry between Mi. Raven end Mr. Stoat through ths. BulMr.Ra vss was not a man given to joking, and Mr. Stoat was any thing bot a pleaiant msa. " i bsve never, said Nonpareil, (rising in his chair with dignity.) oe ver by word or thought injured Mits Ra ven, in fact aster thought about her" (laving said this, and betas: convinced ef bis own innocence, bs look his hat, ssd went out I most ses Siost imme diately," said he, "snd Isarn the mean ing of this letter. Saying which be proceeded to the lawyer'a house. M Good evening. Mr. Stosi," said Non pareil, enuring the office, in which he found the man of law busily occupied ia ruing; ana presenting ths letter be had received, atked the meaning of it. If it be a jke, it is one thst w til not make Vhi ths richsr, I suspeei." ; - " A l-ke you may call it s ike if vou piesis, Mr. Nopireil, though I sm sorry to find you treat so serious sn affair in this manner; but I would rtther see Tour swyer about it. We shall bs bstter able to coma to an understanding." Undemanding about what! I do not onderstand a syllable of all this. Whti do yoo mean!" Nothing more, .Mr. Nonpareil, than thi, that we have the mt conclusive evideuce, the mot efficient witnettes. that ynu have proceeded loo far in your attentions towards Miss R.ten to draw back now without subjecting yourself to very heavy damages." Nonpareil on heanne ihit. threw him sslfintoa chair in a state of great aqua tion. Damages fur whst! You surely do not meat to force me to" Young men oujhl to have more dis cretion, Mr. Nonpareil, lbs damages ill be laid aiylce thoutwhl pound!' There wss such a tons of sincerity in these words, that tbey failed not ttf make a great impretaioa oo the K r. Alatl" cried be. Wfiit can I do!" Yon are not in a fitsiais at present to listen to me. Who is your lawyer!" Mr. Ferret Mr. Ftrrei." who Urea St the end ol woriti street." - - - Very well. I will see hin." esid Stoat, conducting Nonpareil to the door, who followed bim like an suiomstion, a thousand times more confutsd snd bewil dered than when he entered. On hie way home he thought that the best way to get at (he truth would be to go to Hs sen's bouse. lis srrived there, knocked, and atked io a loud voice for Mr. and Mrt. or Miss Raven. Wslk in, sir, missus is in the par lour." Us entered, and fonnd Mrs. and Miss Ravea sested at work. ' A lit sir, ssid Mrs. Rscen, with a so lem a air, we bsve waited to receive this visit for some time.' Then (turning to wsids her dsughter.) said, Niobe, my dear, take euurtge; all will be well. . Mits Niobe, on besring this, said in languishing lone, No no; this is indeed too much to besr. Leave the room, my dear; take the shroud with yon, and finish it in the oth er room. Then turning to Nonpareil, Mrs. Raven continue J' You see the sensibility of this dear girl. As she re tired. Nsreistus could not forbear mur muring to himself, Frightful cresture! would the shrnud were herownlb You see, sir, we sre obliged to essist in the work, ssid Mrs. Raven, with s ghsttly smile' We have so many Tune rals to complete just now thst we cannot find hsnds enough. You will excuse me if I continue my employment; but Mr. Raen will be here directly. During the explanation our hero had heard the noise of hammers in full ope ration in the, back premises. A shudder ing esme over him, and he turned dead ly pale. Ths entrance of Mr. Raven did not at all tend to allay this feeling ol a- larm, when he said, in s sepulchral voice. So you're cime at last, Mr. Nonpareil; but you seem ill! Ys, faltered Nsrciitut, I am ill very ill, for he found the eye of Mr. Ra ven fixed on him, as if slrsady measuting him for his coffin. You do look ill; snd considering the shameful manner in which you have treat ed my poor Niobe What the devil do you mean by the way in which I have treated your Niobe!
