A WIFE WANTED.
Ye fuir ones attend, I've an offer to make you:
In Hymenâs soft bands I am anxious to live,
For better, for worse, companion I'll take me,
Provided she fills the description I yive-
I never expect nor can hope for perfection,
Wor that never yet was a bachelorâs lot;
But choosing a wife, I would make a selection
Which mauy in my situation would not,
I'd haveâlet me seeâI'd not have a beauty.
For beautiful women are apt to be vain;
Yet with a small share, I would think it a duty
To take her, be thankful, and never compluin.
Her form must be goodâwithout art to constrainit,
And rather above than below middle-size ;
A something (it puzzles my brain to expluin it)
Like eloquent language must flow from her eyes,
She must be well bred, or I cannot respect her;
Good-natured and modest, but not very coy,
Ifer mind well informedâ'tis the principal nector
That sweetens the cup of Hymenial joy.
IIer home she must love, and domestic employ-
ment,
ITave practical knowledge of honsehold affairs ;
And make ita part of her highest employment
To soften my troubles and lighten my cares.
Her age, I would have it at least to be twenty,
But not to exceed twenty-five ut the mostâ
And the girls of that uge being ev'ry where plenty,
T hope to yet one of that numerous host,
Not fortune I ask, for I've no predilection
Vor ylitter or show, or the pomp of high life :
1 wish to be bound by the cords of affection ;
Aud now I bave drawn up the sketch of a wife.
If iy postess the above requisitions,
And wif go 49 joined by the conjugal band,
They will pl„ac.; step forwardâthey know the
conditionsâ
Enquire for the writer, ['m aiwoys at hand,

THE TRAPPERâS CHILD.
CHAPTER I,
THE FAWN AND THE BEAR,
There was quite an excitement among
the ladies in Madame Pinetteâs boarding-
school at St, Loui

who made the announcement also brought
the news that her father had come to see
her and to take her away.-

t
education for a considerable section of
country, an honor which it had previously | „
disputed with Cape Giradeau and St, Gen-
evieve.
Pinette was the most fashionable and se-|t
model of propriety and refinement,
The father of Jeanette Barteau was
age among the inmates of Madame Vin-
etteâs establishment;

about the parentage of Jeanette as any ot] âŹ
young ladies, and the story was related to
âvery new arrival as a necessary portion | 1
of the history of the establishment.
The story was simply this: Many years
a very small and unpretending affair, Jea- 4
years of age, had been brought to the di-|1
rectress by a French merchant, a gentle: | Âą
man of hig!
tegrity.
being the daughter of a friend of his, |1
who was engaged in the fur basiness

requested Madame Pinette to

of the directress a considerable sum ot |)
money, assuring her that as large an am-|t

us she continued to take care of the child, | 1
received into Madame Pinctteâs establish: | 1
ment, was treated as one of her own chil-|y
dren, and had been with her ever since. |i
There was nothing very surprising about
help wondering why Jeanette's father had
never come to see her, and what manner
of man he was, if he really had existence,
The French merehant had died a few
years after placing the child at the school ;
but the money for Jeanetteâs maintenance
was still recei
ived, sometimes from one
source, and sometimes trom another,
Jeanette seemed to be very well satisfied
with the situation of affaiys. She had
grown up with sufficient senge, under the
management of Madame Pinette, not to
trouble herself unnecessarily about such
matters. She loved the directress as a
mother, and gave but little thought to a
father whom she did not remember, and
who did not even write to her, She found
herselt well clothed, boarded and educa-
ted, and supplied with every necessity and
luxury that she could reasonably desire,
Under the teachings of Madame Pinette,
she contented herself with affairs as she

Under these circumstances Jeanette was| through a powerlul sight of rough work

to her studies and other duties, until she
became a well-educated and accomplished
young lady, If she had any wonderings,
misgivings or longings, concerning the
father of whom she knew only the name,
she was careful to keep them to herself, or
confided them only to the sympathizing
Madame Dinette,
It would be doing Janeatte an injustice,
however, to say that she was not deeply
affected when she heard the announcement
that this unknown parent had at last ar-
rived, and that he had come to take her
from the pleasant home in which most of
her life had been spent. She was anxious
to see him; but there was a feeling of fear
mingled with her natural desire, a paintul
sense of doubt and distrust, producing a
nervous timidity which she could not shake
off, Her hands trembled so that she could
hardly arrange her dress, and she declined
the assistance of the girls who clustered
around her, with a peevishness that was
quite unusual with her, At last she was
ready; the finishing touch was put to her
toilet, and, after a last look at her pale face
in the glass, she went down stairs with
timid and hesitating steps, followed by the
curious glances of her companions. She
could not guess what sort of a man_ she
was xbout to meet; for none of the girls
had ventured to peep into the reception-
room, the servant Who announced bim had
not seen the stranger, and Madame Pinette
happened to be away trom home,
Again she hesitated, with her hand upon
the knob, when she reached the door of
the room in which he was supposed to be
wailing for her, and it was with a palpita-
ting heart that she at last entered and saw
betore herâwhat?
Ile was no gentleman, certainlyâno
gentleman, at least, in the boarding-sehool
sense of the wordâthat man who was
awkwardly sitting on an ottoman near the
fire-place, Ile was a rough and weather-
beaten man, somewhat past the prime of
life, with long, straggling hair and griz-
zled beard, and a cast of countenance that
was by no means inviting to a young lady
of education and refinement. Tle was clad
in a blue swallow-tailed coat, striped vest,
and yellow pantaleons, all of whieh titted

ropinâ to git it back alter years had gone
by. âLhe time fur gettinâ it back has come,
my gal, or it must come alore long. âThis
hoss is gittinâ old, you see, and he has been
anâhardships,to say nothinâ of Injin serapes,
ill to git the money to pay for your risinâ

well to settle down somewhar, and live
lite.â
âTL hope you will be able to do as you
propose,â murmured Jeanette, wondering
to What this prelade was to lead,
âGlad to heat you say so, Children
should love their parents, and obey âem,
and L reckon you're the right sort. It just
depends on you, my gal, to say whether
your old dad shall live easy and comfort-
able, You are mighty purty, as 1 said
and do many things. Twill use the edu-
cation that you have given me in any way
but that. will work hard to sapport you
comfortably, but do not ask me to marry.â
** 1 didn't raise you up like a lady to
make you work like a squaw,â replicd
Bartean, with a very unpleasant leer, *It's
n way that gals hev got, as I've heern tell,
to draw back when some âun tells âem_ te
marry, though they are powerlul eager
when they take the notion themselves. But
hyarâs what cainât put up with such foolish-
ness as that. Iâve told you what ÂŁ want,

picked out the man to suit me, and he ort
to suit you, as he is rich and good-lookinâ,
though he ain't quite so young as he
mought be. His name is Jeems Musson,
and I reekon you've seen him mor'n once.â
Jeanette trembled with terror, tor she
had secn James Musson, and he was so
odious to her that she hoped she might
never see him again,
** You ain't skeered of him, I hope,â said
Barteau,
Jeanetteâs face turned a trifle whiter,
and from her downeast eyes there. stole
glances of defiance and determination,
** What say you, gal?â
* Your judgment should be better than
mine, and I nave no doubt that I ought to
try and please you.â
*Thatâs the notion, my gal! Tam glad
to see you so willinâ and obedient. I donât
mean to hurry you about it, but will let
you take your own time, purty nigh. I
only want the matter onderstood, 1 hev
jest this to say nowâthat 1 will come in
the morninâ to take you away from hyar,
and you may go to work and git your pos-
sibles packed and ready,â
My what, sir?â
* Your finery and fixinâs. I must go
now. Gvod-bye, gal, and be ready airly
in the morninâ.â
And so he took his leave, Uo did not
offer to kiss her, but took her little white
hand in his broad palm, and held it there
wu moment, looking at itas if it were some-
thing very wonderful and valuable. Ag
he did so, she perceived that he had been
drinking, for she smelled the fume of vil-
lainous whiskey, and she could hardly
conceal her disgu t.
Jeanette hastened up to her own room,
threw herself on the bed, and burst into

CHAPTER II.
A DISAPPEARANCE,
Jeanctte Bartean had good reason for
the fear and apxicty which she manilested
when her lather spoke to her concerning
marriage, and when he mentioned James
Musson as the person whom he had cho-
sen for her husband, |
S!e had not turned seventeen without
receiving the homage of several young
gentlemen, and she had her own notions
Concerning the person whom she intended
tomarry. In fact she had fixed her «f+
{ections upon Henri Labardie, clerk in
atur house in St, Louis, who was both
young and handsome, Although he was not
Wealthy. Henri had told hey that he loved
her, and had been assured t his love
was returned, They had vowed eternal
tidelity, and were only â* waiting a while?
until circumstances should justily them in
marrying.
peste did not long remain bathed in
tears and lying on her bed, Shy had
formed her resolution while she was in the
presence of dean Barteau, as soon as shu
learned what his intention really was, and
she was only giving temporary indulgence
to her disappointment and yexation when
she returned to her room.
She soon arose, fireely rejecting the con-
solutions of her yoom-mate,dried her tears,
arranged her toilet, pub on her hap «ina
shawl, and sallied forth alone Sash

as she met her lover,

âWhat is the matter? Has Madamo

A WIFE WANTED.
Ye fuir ones attend, I've an offer to make you:
In Hymenâs soft bands I am anxious to live,
For better, for worse, companion I'll take me,
Provided she fills the description I yive-
I never expect nor can hope for perfection,
Wor that never yet was a bachelorâs lot;
But choosing a wife, I would make a selection
Which mauy in my situation would not,
I'd haveâlet me seeâI'd not have a beauty.
For beautiful women are apt to be vain;
Yet with a small share, I would think it a duty
To take her, be thankful, and never compluin.
Her form must be goodâwithout art to constrainit,
And rather above than below middle-size ;
A something (it puzzles my brain to expluin it)
Like eloquent language must flow from her eyes,
She must be well bred, or I cannot respect her;
Good-natured and modest, but not very coy,
Ifer mind well informedâ'tis the principal nector
That sweetens the cup of Hymenial joy.
IIer home she must love, and domestic employ-
ment,
ITave practical knowledge of honsehold affairs ;
And make ita part of her highest employment
To soften my troubles and lighten my cares.
Her age, I would have it at least to be twenty,
But not to exceed twenty-five ut the mostâ
And the girls of that uge being ev'ry where plenty,
T hope to yet one of that numerous host,
Not fortune I ask, for I've no predilection
Vor ylitter or show, or the pomp of high life :
1 wish to be bound by the cords of affection ;
Aud now I bave drawn up the sketch of a wife.
If iy postess the above requisitions,
And wif go 49 joined by the conjugal band,
They will pl„ac.; step forwardâthey know the
conditionsâ
Enquire for the writer, ['m aiwoys at hand,

There was nothing very surprising about
help wondering why Jeanette's father had
never come to see her, and what manner
of man he was, if he really had existence,
The French merehant had died a few
years after placing the child at the school ;
but the money for Jeanetteâs maintenance
was still recei
ived, sometimes from one
source, and sometimes trom another,
Jeanette seemed to be very well satisfied
with the situation of affaiys. She had
grown up with sufficient senge, under the
management of Madame Pinette, not to
trouble herself unnecessarily about such
matters. She loved the directress as a
mother, and gave but little thought to a
father whom she did not remember, and
who did not even write to her, She found
herselt well clothed, boarded and educa-
ted, and supplied with every necessity and
luxury that she could reasonably desire,

she was careful to keep them to herself, or
confided them only to the sympathizing
Madame Dinette,
It would be doing Janeatte an injustice,
however, to say that she was not deeply
affected when she heard the announcement
that this unknown parent had at last ar-
rived, and that he had come to take her
from the pleasant home in which most of
her life had been spent. She was anxious
to see him; but there was a feeling of fear
mingled with her natural desire, a paintul
sense of doubt and distrust, producing a
nervous timidity which she could not shake
off, Her hands trembled so that she could
hardly arrange her dress, and she declined
the assistance of the girls who clustered
around her, with a peevishness that was
quite unusual with her, At last she was
ready; the finishing touch was put to her
toilet, and, after a last look at her pale face
in the glass, she went down stairs with
timid and hesitating steps, followed by the
curious glances of her companions. She
could not guess what sort of a man_ she
was xbout to meet; for none of the girls
had ventured to peep into the reception-
room, the servant Who announced bim had

CHAPTER II.
A DISAPPEARANCE,
Jeanctte Bartean had good reason for
the fear and apxicty which she manilested
when her lather spoke to her concerning
marriage, and when he mentioned James
Musson as the person whom he had cho-
sen for her husband, |
S!e had not turned seventeen without
receiving the homage of several young
gentlemen, and she had her own notions
Concerning the person whom she intended
tomarry. In fact she had fixed her «f+
{ections upon Henri Labardie, clerk in
atur house in St, Louis, who was both
young and handsome, Although he was not
Wealthy. Henri had told hey that he loved
her, and had been assured t his love
was returned, They had vowed eternal
tidelity, and were only â* waiting a while?
until circumstances should justily them in
marrying.
peste did not long remain bathed in
tears and lying on her bed, Shy had
formed her resolution while she was in the
presence of dean Barteau, as soon as shu
learned what his intention really was, and
she was only giving temporary indulgence
to her disappointment and yexation when
she returned to her room.
She soon arose, fireely rejecting the con-
solutions of her yoom-mate,dried her tears,

âWhat is the matter? Has Madamo
