Rule Blake wrtu the only ttaughter of Jacob Blake, the old minor of West Brooks. She was more than commonly pretty, and her frank engaging manners, on-, hancvd the charms of her golden hair, pearly skin, and eyes like the blue sky of summer. At her Cither's death she should be of the nice little sum of seventy dollars, and though men generally profess-not to be Inffuenccd by pecuniary matters in affitiri of Mvc, it' to be supposed that this proiipeetlve of her adorers. - Among those most anient, and perhaps sincere, was Will Dartmouth, with a heart larger than . purse, and very Httle thought or care for coaacqnencca. > Fortunately, old Jacob never suspected the partiality of his daughter Will; he wuuB Itsvo put bit* on I bread and water, Afore he would have consented to the slightest intimacy with Will Dartmouth. Jacob Blake was not dn favor of , marriage. Thoaa who know his dr- , cumslances Were i>ot surprised at this ; for, to use a phrase more expressive elegant. Mi*. Blake was a Tartar, with temper enough for two Tartars. Old Jacob had to "walk Spanish" for the most nart. or suffer the ennseqnences. width usually descended his bead In the shape of any domestic utensil, which happened "to be lying a round handy. A maldru sister of Mr. Btake rcaided lu the family, whose principle business seemed to bo to art a sort or echo to brother and his wife. What they she thought too. She regarded it as a primary sin for to associate with young mou, and this doctrine was so perscreidrilled into her niece, who, though she never dissented, had Iter own i^rwon the subject One day Mr. Btake and his wife went to Dedham to attend a fair, and Miss Peggy being absent at a friend's, was left alone, -Will felt perfectly secure in stopping a little while aften: and he and Kate were having a Jolly time popping corn In the old fashioned frying-pan. over the huge wood Are, when there waa a sound of voices at Utc door. " Good gracious! « cried Kate, turnwhite with alarm. "There is Aunt Peggy. Oh, Will! what shall we do! and tatber win be fttriooa. Get under the lounge quick! Oh, Will, do my sake! " Will ooukl not withstand the piredIn Kate's eyre, and he deposited in the designated place. Kate pot dot the tight and darted I into an adjoining room, and, In a moIVggyt tMre^hririlta the hall. "BectaRrftf, Mr. Pike. There I. a loose "hoard there. I don't want todisturb my niece. Softly; it may "l'eggy dear, where are ycu»"re-| ft ponded the squeaking voice of Squire | Pike, widower oT a year. "I can't , tell which -V yon-re gtrnr^

H Let Jacob mfcul his own business," retorted the Squire. " You and, I can - take care of ours without his help;" and there followed a report simitar to the first, onlf a little louder. "Do be quietv Daniel, and let mo get a light. Set right down there before tbe fire, and make yourielf at borne, Daniel" fe A light waa soon procured. Peggy divested herself of her wrappings and ■bluahiug like a young girl In her teens, sal down, opposite the squire. a pleasant evening," said Pegtion. " Very," replied the Squire, drawing his arm over her back. "O, good gracious, Daniel! don't set quite so nigh me. I— that is, 1 » don't consider it strictly proper." " Mercy! what's that? " Both listened attentively. " It waa the wind rattling against the window, I gtaoae," naid the Squire. "Don't go to getting' so" nervous, Peggy." " I thought It was Kate tvaking up, and if she should, I should never hear the last of it." " Hark there isfc noise— I—" "Gracious earth! it's bells. Its Jake and his wife comiug back. What ' shnll I do? Oh, Squire, 'taint right j for us to be nothing one to t'other. — Do help me! What shall I do? " j "Tel! me where logo, Peggy! Say the word, 111 go anywhere for your ! sake, if it's np the chininey.'' " Under the lounge, quick! It's wide 1 and will hold well. Quick, don't delay a minute. t> The Squire obeyed, but the spafe j was so well filled that it was with dlfficulty he could squeeze himself inti so ' - small a compass. And just as he succeeded, Mr. Btake and his wife entered .the room, floundering along in the dark, for Peggy had deemed it best to extinguish the light. ' Jake mado for the fire, which wtiil " glowed with red coals, stumbled over ,t tho cricket, and fell headlong against Peggy, who was standing bolt upright, trying to collect her scattered senses. "The deuce! " cried Jake, "look out there, old women, or you'U lie down over nie. It's as dark aa the dickens here, and I've fell over the rocking " Hello? ' what's that! " reaching out his liand to feel his situation, nml coming in couluct with the bearded face of the Squire. " By golly! it's got whiskers; Peg! Peggy where are ' ■ you? nntl where is Kate? mod wlutt's . The Squire did not relish this assault ' upon his higher suit appendages, anil by tho way of retaliation he gave a series of kicks which hit Will Dartmouth in the regions of the stomach r Look here, old cltap! exclaimed Will, 1 I'm perfectly willing tosliare my quarters with you secln' as we're both in . for it; but you'd better not nndcrtake " to do that again. ■ Heavens ejaculated Peggy, whose ' voice Is tliaty That's wliat I want to know said 5 Jake, struggling for an upright posi- ' tlon. Hello! who's fell down over my ' legs? F I'll let you kuoa- who's down and > who's up! said the voice of Mrs. Btake • —and the uld lady scrambled tip, only ' to go down again over a elialr. Jake 1 where are you? Get up this instant 1 or I'll shake your breath out when I r get to my feet ngain. Jake started to obey, imd jnst then ' Tige, tlie watch dog, who, hearing tlie fuss, managed to break loose from his i air. rushed upon the scene, --and'set up i his best bow wow. The Squire had a mortal horror of ' dogs, ^ltd neither fear nor love was r enongh to keep him quiescent now. 11c ' sprung t* his feet with a yell; Will • followed. ' Kate, full of alarm for her lover, I hopped out of bed and appeared, with fiaming tallow dip— Peggy Hung her ' anus around the Squire, with a cry of ' terror, and Jake was silent with amaxe- ' mcnt. Mrs. Make waa the only one who ■ possessed her wits. She seized the corn-popper, and laid itabout Iter right ' j and left, with vigor. • : Her aim was not always correct, and ' in consequence she smashed the lookI big-glass into a thousand pieces, and knockod down the clock from'ils shelf, r nnd demolished two bowls nml a pitcher ' that were quietly reposing on tho i Tlie Squire broke from Peggy's cmr brace and dashed out of the window. Will followed blm, and Mrs. Btake (-' would have pursued by tlie outlet, hut ' she was a little to targe to get through > with ease. A dreaded council was held; Jake stormed; Mr*. Btake threatened, ami t at laat Katie and Peggy confessed; anil I Jake and his wife were so rejoiced at f the prospect of getting rid of Peggy f that they forgave their daughter aod took Will Dartmouth home at the end - of the year. • And in dffe time Peggy and tho " Squire were made one fleeh. „ TiikreIs said to be a very precise and methodical young lady in one of ' . the interior towns of New York, who j divides her time sip with the utmost exactness. For instance, she allows I I lust ao much time tb eating, so much „ lo vtotmg, so much to reading, Ac., and oti DO account suffers herself lo f derrate from her rttlca.

/'' BT JtACBEX KECLI'sK. i, 1 The quotation that fbrms the aut^ect " matter of Una raaay cornea, as my read1 ere racegmze, from that anciait classic, ' Mothea Goose. h When, where or bow' this amiable 1 tady lived or in what manner original- " ' ed her pithy and wooderful sayings, is ( a matter of conjecture, butfof her unlveraal greatness, there is indiaputahli^ " proof. Unlikethe Grrchm Sspjdio. tho u Carthagentan Dido or any of the great v women of ancient or modern times, her existence seems to hare been somewhat- p ' spiritual and without beginningorend. , Of what parentage she boasted or of f . what immi-distedcsccndents were hers. tho historian is silenL Her ashes, ^ wherever they rest can hardly be dls- v turbed by the voice of Iter fame, which u ' like the sound uf » mighty trumpet ,, ' plays from one end of this terrestrial globe to the other, la lisped with the ' first accents of infancy, is commcutcd s ' and thought upon by growing child- (l hood and is actually verified in tho ex- # pcricncc of manhood. L 1 I distinctly remember the difficulty I of my younger days, to reconcile the , ' I Moses and Aaron of Mother Goose ^ " | with" tbe parties of the satuc name, re- (| 1 corded in Holy Writ, and 1 must con- ( r | iug of the former in preference to the ,] j latter. Wjth the maturer development ^ ' i of yeare, however,. I am convinced lhat n ' j they are not tlie same, and I think if ^ j my reader* have nny doubts upon the ,, ! | subject, by pousinj^a moment for re- " ] flection, they will agree with me. At- ' though there is much to be said upon ; ' the wisdom of the respective parties of classic Madam Goose, memory and the ^ great subject which, rests uppermost t between them, via.?— the subject of .soetw. tile wisdom i-f tla-se, measures , Httle compared with that of the men | bearing like names In the Sacred Vol- ' time ; moreover,! think tliat if Mother ' Goose Imd crossed the' lied Sea, and j dwelt the forty- years in the wilderness, ( indeed had been snhjeqt to all tlie trou- . ( hies aud ;>crils of the clutdreu of Israel. , , the sacred historian hhusolf would have ( ; spoken of so remarkable a woman.— ( , Her entrance upon lite mortal stag.j where men and women arc but players I is shrouded in impenetrable darkness, \ defying nlike research o^. antiquarian ; and historian. Of tlie close of her j great career cqn be said no more than ] she herself narrates of "Tho little wo- " man who lived under lite hill, who. if " | she lie not dead, is ljvlng still." t I do not purpose, however, In this , tus or genealogical record either of ( Is the field for IpecmiaOon In tlie mat- | [ ter that a long article might be written j. upon this subject alone. My pur|KW<> ( is mainly to discuss tlio proposition of Aaron to Moses, as quoted above, nntl ( , Moses' reply, appending thereto some , remarks iu.a general way. To do this. I I am obliged to pass in silence nil per- ^ sotuvl matter relating to these two men, such matter being of necessity drawn t largely from the imagination ; Mrs. . Goose's broad, democratic views illy J I comporting in one sense with those of ^ } tlie present generation, which without _ exception inquires into the origin - ol people anil filings, j know that moat ' | . fact springs .from imagination, indeed ^ J is dependent upon it for existence,. imi ( upon this alone tnlgRl I build a pbo- , sant history of the birth of Moses and " 0 Aaron, their city, their appearance, ( their namo or fame, their families, in- | , deed I might give my presence at "the retuarknble discussion between them ' j. .*f^>°ll the rettiarkable subject— noses — r but I forbear and confine myself en- . ^ tirely na I lutvc before said, to the pro- , 1 position and its elicitptTNpljr. First, then, the preqiaelUon. Aaron addressed Moses and said, "Moses, let . | us cut off our noecs. '_' Taken in a literal sense, this is great, disinterested r and unselfish. What political, legal j or social acumen of the present day j pro pows retrenchment by beginning ( with the sacrifice of self! Tlie motivi j . for the suggesletl amputation must ( | hare lwcn one of mut ual understa'ndlng j or Aaron would have given a reason ( I for desiring to pursue so peculiar a , course. This motive, too, must have I l*xrit of extreme magnitude, perhaps so 'great, that silence cxiata only be- I ' cause uf the poverty uf langonge to re- c a preaetit tho matter— for what would a ■ man's Sice be without a note, and what \ Iioesiblo motive could he have for cat- < ting It off? Thta feature, It la trjte, t ' exiats in various forma of aire and a ^ point. There arc very desirable noses ( , and very undesirable ones. I might I here give the names and accounts of i s the many diversities 1 have looked up- r I on, but It is needful only to say, that • , be it regular, hooked, ptaju or pug. i , there never yet lived the man -or wo- t man, hut who felt the nose in his or ' I her possession to he much lwtter than ] . no nose at all, and who would ol un- 1 willing nmlorsny circumstances to lose ( , It.
