Yoixiitr Seeing in your paper a prescription for making a fashionable woman, I can not resist the inclination to find you a receipt for a fashionable young man. -Take equal proportions of impudence, arrogance, indolence and extravagance ; uift welli throwing out every particle of bra(i)n ; mix welj with brandy or wine; grate on the' ears (of refinement) a number of sulphuric oaths ; flavor with tobacco, whisky and musk stir well with a fancy rat an one ornamented with a pretty, little font i preferred! add ignorance ami dissipation until it is the consistency of putty; then put into a ihold. After tho figure is complete, part the hair in the middle, brush care fully in a low wave over the forehead, aud then brush the ends up again on each side to make room for the elonga tion of the ears. Apply " Whisker un der'' and whisky-! randy to. tho. upper lips, and when finally a' mustache makes its appearance, watch it closely; if it shows the least sign , of 'going back' on you, sjtick all the ends together with imx, and hold on to it for dear life ! If the eyes and nose are not bright enough in expression and color, touch them up with a little 'lire-water' and an eye-glass,' If too poor for the market, make up for lack of pnivo in rotundity of person by inflating with all manner f evil spirits. Add a gay cravat with long flowing ends, as an offset to tawny side-whiskers ; a mammoth seal ring, as an ornamental brass knuckle, G ive the finishing touches to tfye l?'reuch boots, and elevate them on the back of a chair, in some public place, Ho dry.

BT ETHEL. o u Only 83et 1 o' it s.rnvrs !' exclaim ed pretty Mamie Ashton looking" from the window. :Yes," said Kate Brandon disconso- lately, "horfid -weather without any of the fun it brings to us when in the city, an old barn of a! house without even a pair of skates or a sled." ' 'I mean to have a slide down that hill," laughed Mamie! if it has to be on the door mat." : "We talk like .a couple of boys kept in at recess replied Kate," but' there is the breakfast bell, I guess we can slide doWn the banisters, and in a spirit of mischief, she seated herself on the railing and was whirling with .ljghtning rapidi ty down the winding stairs, and landed fo abruptly at the front door as to as- tonish the servant girl, ' and a strange gentleman who had just been invited in. Mamie convulspd with laughter, j dodged back, while Kate In paintul confusion hung her head and rushed from the passage. Kate Brandon and Mamie Ashton were on a visit to Mamie,s Aunt. Tie first week or two they were wild-with delight over the larjre grove, great old fashion house witlv wide hospitable hearths, but two ' or three weeks of rain, snow and sleet, without e'en a boy to jilve variety in the way of a sleigh ride or skating frollic was more than the bill called-for, and just as the sun had shone bnrhtly for one day, and they had made preparations to re- turn home in time to share, the fun of the 14th of February, it wa.r too bad for it to snow ; feeling a little desperate they determined to make up for it in some 'way, A beautiful beirinnina surely thought Kate as she retreated to her room as soon as khe could nass ... : I the passage iinperceived, "Where- she found Mamie quite merry over her discomfort. ; "Don't bo a goose Mamie ! HTio do you reckon that was? I'll be impris oned here forever before I'll face him i again." "But vou have'nt faced him yet." laughod Mamie "von went down back ward? like a whirlwind !" " Oh ; dear nr. she said pressing one hand to ,hor side while she wiped her eves with the other, T can eevou now. like a streak of forked lightning. T tell you Kate that fellow was stunned. Tie wont get over the shook in a week, and again the room rang with her mer riment. . ! - A tap at tho door and Nancy's face rearing a good- natured grin was hrust in. "Ole miss say come down to break - fus." ; j V "Nancy, who was that gentleman j ;That was voung Dr. Elswuffyou. sed coming in." 4 "You . mean seed Kate coming down laughed Mamie. f ' "Well," said Kate just go down and tell your od Miss that I have got a swimming in my head and don't want any breakfast." "Oh ! Kate please go, I can t go y v I myself. Where is th Doctor, Nancy?" Wid Ole miss in do dinTing. room. "Ah T said Mamie is Cousin Hal Ellsworth, Aunt Mary's nephew. You will have to sea him, so come on." . "I just shant do it ! if he 'stays here a week. I ; hate him for poking here this soon in the morning mortifying me in this way.'' Nancy had disappeared and delivered Kates message, and a merry musical laugh reached the girls "The haieful thing is laughing at me now,' she said with a pout "If I were in your place Kate I'd treat that as a joke, your acting in this way looks as though you cared a good deal about his opinion.'' "Well I don't, but f would have been ashamed for your Aunt Marv to have caught me performing such a Tom-boy feat, but if you think he will place a wrong construction ou ray not seeing him, I'll go down just to knock the conceat out of him." So the girls entered the dining room and were presented to Dr. Ellsworth, whose handsome face with great laivh Mg eyes, was anything but hateful, shook hands with Mamie, calling her cousin, bowed politely to M'i.ss Brandon who bit her lips and wuld not see the extended hand, but gave her attention to Mrs, Ashton, who was asking how she fe't. ' "Thank you, my message was only a jest, I am quite well." The IVn-tor's fascihatinsr manners wore not to be resisted, and he was a daily visitor often staying until a late hour. He was wealthy, an only child, and a physician of considerable note.r That he was in love with 'the sancy Kate, none doubted, andshe had almost forgotten the awkward incident of their I first meeting. They visited his mother by especial invitation, had" - delightful skates on the und and many nice sleigh rides, jKo longer quarreling about the great bara of a house but with a feeling of regret repacked their trunks to return home. They arrived in the city a ,-few days before the 14th February. Their old admirers "wel comed them back, for two such spright ly creatures were! sadly missed whenever they left the city: Mamie did not know how deeply Katie had fallen in love with the young Doctor. CoquoUiih Kate said very little about him, for he had not. said in 1. 1 exact words that he loved her, in fact there was a humor in all he 'said and did. that made her think him more ot fascinaimr than fascinated. The very hie uncertainty made him an object uf I i: greater interest. Imagine her anger aud mortification when on. the 14th Febru ary; among a half dozen beautiful and costly valentines, one should come to cause her snch humiliation : In all her school davs she had never received a w tti Ellsworth should have wound up their nice little flirtation with such disre spect, she knew ! he sent" it. He was so full of -"mischief, .she would let him see that he could "not make sport of her with impunity, A comi.i valentine in deed! Yes there it w-s m the most slowing colors enough to make the lit- tie beauty indignant ! Headed in let ters of lightning, " The bewitching Aeronaut." There was the winding stairs, with the most redieulous figure equally ballanced on the railing A perfect burlesque in fashion and figure, a pair of horrid slipshod feet with ilf shaped and spindled ankles hkrhin the air! At the foot of the stairs was a dandy, perfectly aghast a pair of saddle bags .had fallen to the floor from which rolled pill boxes amd vials. - , She determined to be even with him! -. - If she had been pleased with him and gracious accordingly, shq would undo it all, by making him believe that it was only a past time. She purchased a ludicrous valentine called 'The young Doctor.'! j The picture was a large Goose in a dm!g store, with this, vtrse beneath. , No Doctor is he, but a quack ! : Made up cf pills and "vanity. To put him in a dihh on his back, Would be an act of humanity. This was scarcely severe enough for his impertinence, so she added a few more lines, without even trvinir to dis- guise her writing. -I A trial was made to convert him. Into a lover you know .. fTho, the attempt was really diverting. j lie oniy remained a. bore J , A pill vender. he'll continue to be, Tho, bis coffers are full it. reported But he's a pill too much for inc. Even if sugar coated. She thought tnis -as much better and .it was accordingly sent. Several days passed. Invitations lusd been sent but to Mamie Ashtons birth day party. She wrote Cousin Hal a note inviting him to come, and he was urged to elo so by George Ashton Hal Ellsworth had received his: valen tine, aud entirely innocent of ever hav ing given 'Miss Brandon any cause for such treatment, was hurt aud also in dignant. She ';had not even attempted to disguise her beautiful writing, which she knew he admired so much. He would go to the party however, if only to show Miss Brandon that "h(T was a gentleman, and one who would not annoy hei with his attentions. j The room was already filled when Miss Bmndon made her appearance, She was mora beautiful than ever, in full evening dres. And inspite of his pride, Hal Ellsworth felt a thrill of admiration for this girl who had will, ingly won his heart, and then thrown it back to him in doggeral rhymes. He was with Mamie when Kate came forward to speak, "Surely ; you and cousin I'al, do not need an introduction said Mamie, "I do not" replied Hal, with ratfier a disdainful smile, bowing coldly, j I am snre I shall get Miss! Brandon !!' never for She blushed guiltily, merely hew ing, and was soon the gayest of the gay, for she was a great belle. Hal was equally as lively, and tho two in the room who were the most miserable. made themselves most noted for mirth. But Mamie saw, that though both seemed to enjoy themselves, they did not eak" to each other. What could it mean? So when Hal took a seat by her she asked. 'Is n't Katie beauti ful?" "Yes,'' he repli 3d bitterly, 4and the most consummate flirt I ever met." . "No sh is not,'' replied her friend warmly, "she is the sweetest girl in the world, and, would not trifle with ny one." "If you think so, she has deceived you as she did me." "If it is not inquisitive, h.ow has she deceived you ?" 1 "Why,'' said he coloring, by yes by pretending to like me when she felt nothing for tue but contempt" 'Contempt for you: Oh! cousin Hal. 1 kuow better than that, if she has treated you differently to night it " because," Then a merry laugh, because the thinks you sent her a g valentine. He grasped I;er SUOCKT. hard excitedly, "she thinks I sent her a shocking valentine - uYes, I reckon she does, I sent her one just tor fun and have not seen her irince to have a lamdi over it." Kate had jut. taken her scat at the piano, and lh she ceaed paying. Dr. Ellsworth' stepped forward offering his arm tor a r,vomena;;e. "N j,'' she said eurtlv, 'I am en- gajrccZ to dar.ee.' He did net move anu ? ,0"a UP W,U1 an expression 11111 -.1 disllea5ure on her face, She met expressive eyes, and biting her VPMUJ - unuersiauu o ,: i un-i j v "Yes, I think I did, but you do not unders'and me, I shall force myself in your presence, long 'enough 'to sy, that you have received no communica tion from me sine we parted." "in. at do you mean?'' she asked b.usumg painful y. lie stood with romea arms, "i mean, "lie saia in a n 1 t 1 1 1 T , low voice; that you received a shocking valentine, which you thonght me un manly enough to send. I did not send it, ana never saw it," Then after a little pause coutinued calmly, though he turned very pale, :let ma thank you for your candor, when you gave me your opinion of myself. It has saveu ju truiu -cni w.ni nun myj m ; a v , -j a of diverting you, I will now make reora for others," and bowing with stately grace he left her. ''Her mortification was overwhelm- to think that she nad sent those miserable verses to Dr. Ellsworth, taking the first arm that was offered her she 1 ft the room, after a few turns in the broad hall, she said, Mr. Williams I feel very badly, J wish you would mention o Mr, Saunders that I wish to return home.'' "''Mamie came in haste to the recep tion room, Katie what is the matter? Don't g. home." Ch ! Mamie, I am ruined! My hasty tenq er is always getting me in to trouble ! What is it. now dear ?" asked Mamie sympathetically. I 'Katie hesitated a moment and then said, I got a 1 orrid old valentine, and thought I) . Ellsworth sent it, and answered it with one wors if anT thing! and I am so mortified.'' ' Oh !. shew, said Mamie laughing. that is nothing, I sent youis, and thought you would accuse me t!.e first one, I'll make it all right with cousin Hal. I think it is real fanny. I've got something particular to tell you. so go to the Library and stay a few mo ments. I wont keep you there long- some one is calling me now." As Mamit entered the passage she found Di. Ellsworth removing Lis hat and cloak from the rack. ''Cousin Hal,'' said she drawing hirn to one side, "a little mischief of mine is making three friends very miserable, if you could have seen the valentine I sent, Kntie you would forgive every thing she has said or elonc since, now that she knows you did not send it, she is distressed beyond measure at her being so hasty, you are indignant and I am filled with remorse; lets all be friends again." Miss Brandon has too low an opin ion of me to wish a reconciliation," he said sorrowfully. There is no more trutn in the valen tine you received, than tho one I sent her." " "Oh ! Mamie, if I only thought so," he said hurriedly. "I know so," she repeated earnestly, Katie is in the library waiting for me, go stake friends with her." Dr. Ellsworths heart was pleading more eloquently than even Mamie, so putting down his hat he went to the library. There sat th beautiful haughty Kate by the table, her head bowed on her arm. She did not raise her head as the door opened and shut. He knelt before her, and taking her Jiand said, "Katie I love you. and am waiting for you to say, that the valen tine was a jest. ' ! She started with surprise. Oh ! Dr. if you could have seen the one I re ceived you would forgive me. "Forgive you darling," he said put ting his at n around her, , X have been ail the while more grieved than angry. Was it the fear of losing my regard that distressed you. You au&t make some concessions he said smil ing! as she turned away, to make amends ror that poetry," 4,Oh! please don't ever mention that again,' she said deprecatirgly "You will have to bny my silence,'' he said with laughing eyes, drawiag her to the sof;:, and imprisoning both hands. Your conditions?'' she asked laugh ing. 'bay that you lore me, and ' will marry roe ere one other 14th Feh., rolls around. The desired premises were obtained, and in the fall a Lril- liant marriage took place. Katie was rerj young not sixteen, but Dr. Ellsworth said, he came to near losing her, he could not risk another 14th xtbruarj.
