A MORNING, BUT NO SUN. 
BY T. BUCHANAN REID. 
Tub morning come?, but brings no sun; 
The sky with etorm is overrun; 
And here I eit in my room alone, 
And feel, a* I hear the tempest moan. 
Like one who hath lost, the last and beet, 
The dearest dweller from hie breast! 
For every pleasant eight and sound 
The sorrows of the eky have drowned; 
The bell within the neighboring tower 
Falls blurred and distant through the shower; 
Look where I will, hear what I may, 
All, all the world seem* far uway 1 
The dreary shutters creak and swing, 
The windy willows sway and fling 
A double portion of the rain 
Over the weeping window-pane. 
But I, with gusty sorrow swayed, 
Sit hidden here like one afraid, 
And would not on another throw 
One drop of all this weight of woe 1 
INSURANCE AND ASSURANCE. 
"■ - i- 
“ It is inconceivable to the virtuous and 
praiseworthy part of the world, who have been 
born and bred to respectable idleness, what ter¬ 
rible straits are the lot of those scandalous 
rogues whom Fortune has left to shift for them¬ 
selves !’’ Such was my feeling ejaculation when, 
full of peniteuce for the sin of urgent necessity, 
1 wended my way to the attorney who had swept 
together, and, for the most part, picked up, the 
crumbs which fell from my father’s table. lie 
was a little, grizzled, sardonic animal, with fea¬ 
tures which were as hard as his heart, and fitted 
their leather-jacket so tightly, that one would 
have thought it bad shrunk from washing, or 
that they had bought it second-hand, and were 
pretty nearly ont at the elbows. They were 
completely emblematic of their possessor, whose 
religion it was to make the mo6t of everything, 
and, among the rest, of the distresses ofhis par¬ 
ticular friends, among whom 1 had the bappi 
ness of staudiug very forward. My business 
required but little explanation, for I was op¬ 
pressed by neither rent-rolls nor title-deeds; 
and we sat down to discuss the readiest means 
of turning an Income for one year into some¬ 
thing decent for a few more. My adviser, whose 
small, experienced eye had twinkled through 
all the speculations of the age, and, at the same 
time, had taken a very exact admeasurement of 
my capabilities of turning them to advantage, 
seemed to be of opinion that I was fit for noth¬ 
ing on earth. For one undertaking I wanted 
application; for another 1 wanted capital. 
“ Now,” said he, “ as the first ®f these defi¬ 
ciencies is irremediable, we must do what we 
can to supply the latter. Take my advice; in¬ 
sure your life for a few thousands; you will 
have but little premium to pay, for you look as 
if you would live forever; and from my knowl- 
edged of your rattle-pated habits, and the vari¬ 
ous chances against you, I will give you a hand¬ 
some sum for the insurance.” Necessity obliged 
me to acquiesce in the proposal, and I assured 
the old cormorant that there was every likeli¬ 
hood of my requiting his liberality by the most 
unremitting perseverance in all the evil habits 
which had procured me his countenance. We 
6hook hands in mutual ill-opinion, and he obli¬ 
gingly volunteered t® accompany me to an 
insurance office. 
We arrived a little before the business hour, 
and were shown into a large room.- In the 
center was a large tabic, round which, at equal 
distances, were placed certain little lumps of 
money, which my friend told me were to reward 
the labors of the inquisition, among whom the 
surplus arising from absentees would likewise 
be divided. From the keenness with which 
each individual darted upon his share, and ogled 
that of his absent neighbor, 1 surmised that 
some of my fellow-eullerers, who were also in 
waiting, would find the day against them. They 
would be examined by eyes capable of penetra¬ 
ting every crevice of their constitutions, by noses 
that could smell a rat a mile oflT, and hunt a 
guinea brea6t-higb. How, indeed, could plague 
or pestilence, gout or gluttony, expect to lurk 
in Its hole undisturbed, when surrounded by a 
pack of terriers which seemed hungry enough 
to devour one another ? Whenever the door 
slammed, and they looked for additions to their 
cry, they seemed for all the world as though 
they were going to hark, and if a straggler really 
entered and BCized upon his moiety, the intelli¬ 
gent look of vexation was precisely that of a 
dog who has lost a bone. When ten or a dozen 
of these gentry had assembled, the labors of the 
day commenced. 
Most of our adventurers for raising supplies 
upon their natural lives were afflicted with a 
natural conceit that they were by no means cir¬ 
cumscribed in foundation for such a prospect. 
In vain did the Board endeavor to persuade 
them that they were half dead already. They 
fought hard for a few more years, swore that 
their fathers had been almost immortal, and that 
their whole families bad been as tenacious of 
life as eels themselves. Alas! they were first 
ordered into an adjoining room, which I soon 
learned was the condemned cell, and then deli¬ 
cately informed that the establishment conld 
have nothing to say to them. Some, indeed, 
had the luck to be reprieved a little longer, but 
even these did not alTect a very flattering or 
advantageous bargain. One old gentleman had 
a large premium to pay for a totter in his knees; 
another for an extraordinary circumference in 
the girth; and a dowager of high respectability, 
who was afflicted with certain undue propor¬ 
tions of width, was fined most extraordinary. 
At length it came to my tnrn to exhibit; but 
as my friend was handing me forward, my pro¬ 
gress was arrested by the entrance of a youDg 
lady with an elderly maid - servant. 8he was 
dresBed in slight mourning, was the mostepark- 
ling beauty I had ever Been, aod appeared to pro¬ 
duce an instantaneous effect, even upon the 
stoDy-hearted directors themselves. The chair¬ 
man politely requested her to take a seat at the 
table, and immediately entered into her busi¬ 
ness, which seemed little more than to show 
herself, and be entitled to twenty thousand 
pounds, for which her fate husband had insured 
his life. 
“ Zounds!” thought I, 44 twenty thousand 
pounds and a widow.” 
“ Ah, madtune, ” observed the chairman, 
“your husband made too good a bargain with 
us. I told him he was an elderly, sickly sort of 
a man, and not likely to last; hut I never 
thought he would have died so soon after his 
marriage.” 
An elderly, sickly sort of a man ! She would 
marry again, of course! I was on fire to be ex¬ 
amined before her, and let her hear a favorable 
report of me. Ar lnck would have it, 6he had 
some farther transactions, which required cer¬ 
tain papers to be sent for; and, in the pause, I 
Btcpped boldly forward. 
44 Gentlemen,” said my lawyer, with a smile 
which whitened the tip of his nose, and very 
nearly sent it through the external teguments, 
44 allow me to introduce Mr.-, a particular 
friend of mine, who is desirous of insuring his 
life. You perceive he is not one of your dying 
sort.” 
The directors turned their eyes towards me 
with evident satisfaction, and I had the vanity 
to believe the widow did so, too. 
44 Yon have a good broad chest,” said one. 
44 I dare say your lungs are never affected.” 
44 Good shoulders, too,” said another. 44 Not 
likely to be knocked down in a row.” 
44 Strong in the legs, and not debilitated by 
dissipation,” cried a third. 44 1 think this gen¬ 
tleman will suit us.” 
I could perceive that, during these compli¬ 
ments and a few others, the widow was very 
much inclined to titter, which I considered as 
much as a flirtation commenced; and when 1 
was ordered into another room to he further ex¬ 
amined by the surgeon in attendance, I longed 
to tell her to stop until 1 came hack. The pro¬ 
fessional gentleman did his utmost to find a flaw 
in me, hut was obliged to write a certificate, 
with which I re-entered, and had the satisfaction 
of hearing the chairman read that I was war¬ 
ranted sonnd. The Board congratulated me 
somewhat jocosely, and the widow laughed out¬ 
right. Our affairs were settled exactly at the 
same moment, and I followed her closely down 
stairs. 
44 What mad trick are you at now ? " inquired 
the cormorant, 
44 1 am going to hand that lady to her car¬ 
riage,” I responded; and I kept my word. She 
bowed to me with much courtesy, laughed 
again, and desired her servant to drive home. 
“Whereis that, John?” said I. 
“Number sir, in- street,” said John, 
aud away they went. 
Wc walked steadily aloDg, the bird of prey 
reckoning np the advantages ofhis bargain with 
me, and I in a mood of equally interesting re¬ 
flection. 
“ What are you pondering about, young gen¬ 
tleman ? ” he at last commenced. 
“Iam pondering whether or no you have not 
overreached yourself in this transaction,” 
“How so?” 
“Why, I begin to think I shall be obliged to 
give up my harum-scarum way of life; drink 
moderately, leave off fox-hunting, and 6ell my 
spirited horses, which, you know, will make a 
material difference in the probable date of my 
demise.” 
“ But where is the necessity for your doing all 
this 1 ” 
“My wife will, most likely, make it a stipula¬ 
tion.” 
44 Your wife? ” 
“Yes. That pretty disconsolate widow we 
have just parted from. You may laugh; hut if 
you choose to bet the insurance which you have 
bought of me against tho purchase money, I 
will take you that she makes me a 6edate mar¬ 
ried man in less than two months.” 
“Done!” said the cormorant, his features 
again straining their back-skins at the idea of 
having made a double profit of me. “ Let us go 
to my house, and I will draw a deed to that 
effect, gratis .” 
Modesty is a sad bugbear upon fortune. I 
have known many who have not been oppressed 
by it, remain in the shade; but I have never 
known one who emerged with it into prosperity. 
In my own case it is by no means a family dis¬ 
ease, nor had I lived in any way by which I was 
likely to contract it. Accordingly on the fol¬ 
lowing day I caught myself very coolly knock¬ 
ing at the widow's door; and so entirely had I 
been occupied in considering the various bless¬ 
ings which would accrue to both of us from our 
union, that I was half-way up stairs before I be¬ 
gan to think of an cxeuso for my intrusion. The 
drawiDg-room was vacant, and I was left for a 
moment to wonder whether 1 was not actually 
in some temple of the. loves and graces. I waB 
in the most melting mood alive, when the door 
opened, and in walked the fascinating object of 
my speculations. She was dressed in simple 
gray, wholly without ornament, and her dark 
brown hair wbb braided demurely over a forehead 
which looked as lofty as her face was lovely. 
The reception she gave me was polite and grace¬ 
ful, but somewhat distant; and I perceived that 
she had either forgotten or determined not to 
recognize me. I was not prepared for this, and 
in spite of my constitutional confidence, felt not 
a little embarrassed. I had, perhaps, mistaken 
the breakings forth of a young and buoyant 
spirit, under ridiculous circumstances, for the 
encouragement of volatile coquetry; and for a 
moment I was in doubt whether I should not 
apologize and pretend that she was not the lady I 
for whom my visit was intended. But she was 
so beautiful! 
" Madam,” I begaD, but my blood was in a 
turmoil, and I have never been able to recollect j 
precisely what I said. Something it was, how¬ 
ever, about my late father and her lamented 
husband, absence and the East Indies, liver com¬ 
plaints and life insurance! with compliments, 
condolences, pardon, perturbation, and preter- 
pluperfect impertinence. The lady looked sur¬ 
prised, broke my speech with two or three well- 
bred ejaculations, and astonished me very much 
by protesting that she had never heard her hus¬ 
band mention either my father or bis promising 
little heir-apparent, William TIenry Thomas, in 
the, whole course of their union. “Ah, madam,” 
said I, “the omission is extremely natural! I 
am sure 1 am not at all offended with your late 
husband upon that score. He was an elderly, 
sickly sort of a man. My father always told him 
he could not last, but he never thought he would 
have died so soon after his marriage. He had 
not time—he had not time, madam, to make his 
friends happy by introducing them to you. 
I believe, upon the whole, I must have be¬ 
haved remarkably well, for the widow could not 
quite make up her mind whether to credit me 
ornot, which, when wo consider the very slender 
materials I had to work upon, is saying a great 
deal. At last 1 contrived to make the conversa¬ 
tion glide away to “ Auld Robin Gray,” and the 
drawing of Apollo, which I pronounced to be a 
chef-tTamvrc. “ Permit, me, however, to suggest, 
that the symmetry of the figure would not be 
destroyed by a little more of Hercules in the 
shoulders, which would make his life worth a 
much longer purchase. A little more ampli¬ 
tude in the chest, too, and a trifle stronger in 
the legs, as they say at the insurance office.” 
The widow looked comically at the recollec¬ 
tions which I brought to her mind; her rosy 
lips began to disclose their treasures in a half 
smile; and this, in turn, expanded into a laugh, 
like the laugh of Euphrosyne. This was the 
very thing for me. I was always rather dashed 
by beauty on the stilts; but put us on fair 
ground, and I never supposed that I should be 
otherwise than cbarmiDg. I ran over all the 
amusing topics of the day, expanded a thousand 
admirable jokes, repeated touching passages 
from a new poem which she had not read, 
laughed, sentimentalized, fondled the kitten, 
and forgot to go away till I had sojourned full 
two hours. Euphrosyne quite lost sight, of my 
question aide Introduction, and chimed in witha 
wit as brilliant ns her beauty; nor did she put 
on a siDgle grave look when I volunteered to 
call the next day and read the remainder of the 
poem. 
It is imossible to conceive how carefully I 
walked home.. My head and heart were full of 
the widow and the wager, and my life was more 
precious than the Paget diamond. 1 kept ray 
eye sedulously upon the pavement to he sure 
that the coal holes were closed; and I never 
once crossed the street without looking both 
ways, to calculate tl/e dangers of being run over 
When 1 arrived, I Was presented with a letter 
from my attorney giving me the choice or an cn- 
signey in a regiment which was ordered to the 
the West Indies, or of going missionary to Cen¬ 
tral Africa. 1 wrote to him in answer that it 
was perfectly immaterial to me whether 1 was 
cut down by yellow fever or devoured by canni¬ 
bals; bnt that I had business which would 
prevent me from availing myself of cither 
alternative for two months at least. 
The next morning found me again at the door 
of Euphrosyne, who gave me her lily hand, and 
received me with a smile of old acquaintance. 
Affairs went on pretty much the same as they 
did on the preceding day. The poem was long, 
her singing exquisite, and we again forgot our- 
Eelves, till it was necessary, in common polite¬ 
ness, to ask me to dinner. Her sober attire, 
which for some months had been a piece of 
mere gratuitous respect, was exchanged for a 
low evening dress, and my soul, which was 
brimming before, was in an agony to find room 
for my increasing transports. Her spirits were 
as sportive as butterflies, and fluttered over the 
flowers of her imagination with a grace that was 
quite miraculous. She ridiculed the rapidity of 
our acquaintance, eulogized my modesty, till it 
was well nigh burned to a cinder, aud now and 
tbeu 8harpend her wit by a delicate recurrence 
to Apollo and the shoulders of Hercules. 
The third and the fourth and the fifth day, 
with twice as many more, were equally produc¬ 
tive of excuses for calling, and reasons for re¬ 
maining, till at last 1 took it upon me to call and 
remain, without troubling myself about the one 
or the other. I was received with progressive 
cordiality; and, at last, with a mixture of timid¬ 
ity which assured me of the anticipation ot' a 
catastrophe which was at once to decide the 
question with the insurance office, and deter¬ 
mine the course of my travels. One day I found 
the Peri sitting rather pensively at work, and, as 
usual, I took my seat opposite to her. 
“I have been thinkiug,” said she, “that I 
have beeu mightily imposed upon.” 
44 By whom?” I inquired. 
44 By one of whom you have the highest opin¬ 
ion—by yourself.” 
“In what, do you mistrust me?” 
44 Come, now, will it please you to he candid, 
and tell me honestly that all that exceedingly 
intelligible story about your father and tbe liver 
complaint, and Heaven knows what, was a mere 
fabrication ? ” 
“ Will it please you to let me thread that nee¬ 
dle? for I see you are taking aim at the wrong 
end of it.” 
“Nonsense! Will you answer me?” 
“I think I could put the finishing touch to 
that sprig. Do you see?” I continued, jump¬ 
ing up and leaning over her. “ It should be 
done se—and then 60 . What 6titch do you call 
that?” 
The beauty was not altogether in a mood for 
joking. I took her band—it trembled — and so 
did mine. 
“ Will you pardon me?” I whispered. “ I am 
a sinner, a counterfeit, a poor swindling, disrep¬ 
utable vagabond—but I love you as my souk” 
The work dropped upon her knee.

In about afortnight from this time I addressed 
the following note to my friend: 
“ Dhar 8ik ;— It will give you great pleasure 
to hear that my prospects are mending, and that 
you have lost your wager. As I intend settling 
tbe insurance on my wife, I shall of course think 
you entitled to the job. 8hould your trilling 
loss iu me oblige you to become an ensign to 
the Weet Indies, or a missionary to Central
