her conduct. She is as true-hearted a wo¬ 
man as lives,‘and that which she delights 
in must bo happy/ You may smilo if you 
choose, but I do most frankly assure you 
that I am happy. I know not what Bea¬ 
trice is doing at this moment, but I feel suro 
that, in aims and efforts, she is true to her¬ 
self, to mo, and to her Maker. I am suro 
that she loves me moro than all the world 
besido, but not so much as she loves truth 
and duty and self-respect. Her errors are 
all mistakes. They are the redundancy of 
a loving, generous, richly-gifted nature.— 
She is no model housewife, but she has 
made great improvement, and sho has the 
strongest incentive to improvement, a sin¬ 
cere and unselfish affection. It is truo that 
I was delayed to-day by waiting for a few 
last stitches from her practised needle, not 
howover upon my clothing, as I seo you im¬ 
agine, but upon a pair of slippers sho has 
just wrought for uncle Jeduthun. Let me 
seo them tried, my dear sir. I havo an idea 
they will fit you.” 
“ Why, yes, tolerably,” said the good man, 
who seemed more gratified than ho cared to 
acknowledge. “The truth is,” he added, 
speaking with hesitation, as if he felt the 
need of an apology. “ The truth is, I am 
going to live with Edward, and give lessons 
to Beatrico in housekeeping .”—Home Gaz. 
lock are very various, but tho result is uni¬ 
form. I will excuse you now, boys, as I 
havo an appointment with my tailor.” 
It is needless to say that the three 
nephews availed themselves of the permis¬ 
sion thus unwillingly given,

A MITHER’S BLETHER ABOUT HER BAIRN. 
‘ 1 . and that any 
iy might feel at defeating 
tho cherished wishes ol their kindest bene¬ 
factor did not seriously embitter the honey 
moon. The three years that followed stole 
a handful of grey hairs from the bald fore¬ 
head of Jeduthun Spike, and, as if ashamed 
of the theft, secretly restored them hidden 
among tho chestnut locks of Lis young rela¬ 
tions. And, as a farther restitution, tho 
same silent agents transferred unnoticed a 
portion of the hopeful tenderness of tho 
youthful Benedicts to refresh tho withered 
heart of the disappointed bachelor. Tho 
time for the interview so long anticipated, 
arrived at last. In tho luxurious rooms of 
the lonely undo, Henry and Charles, the 
two elder nephews, waited impatiently tho 
arrival of tho younger. 
“It is useless looking for Edward,” said 
Charles, at last. “We shan’t seo him be¬ 
fore evening. Ilis wife is now looking lor 
a needle to darn his stockings, and replace 
the missing buttons upon his coat.” 
Yet, as ho spoke, a cheerful step was 
heard without, and the tardy brother enter¬ 
ed tho room, breathing quickly, and with a 
smiling apology for his delays The two first 
arrived exchanged meaning g!u.^|es but the 
merciless uncle cut short th&r merriment, 
by saying gravely : 
“ Henry, my boy, you are tho oldest. It 
is just that you should lead upon this occa¬ 
sion. Tell us frankly, how do you enjoy 
married life ?’’ 
The young man paused for a moment, 
then, with a comical grimace that but ill- 
concealed his reluctance, he replied : 
“ It is a bitter dose to swallow, I confess. 
Uncle, you are revenged.” 
There was a slight movement of surprise, 
for Mrs. Henry Spike was recognized as de¬ 
cidedly notable. 
“ I thought,” said tho uncle, drily, that 
yours was a pattern wife.” 
“ Only too much so ” returned tho 
nephew. “It is my belief that she was 
modelled upon the most approved patterns 
and made up to order. It ever there was 
a machine for performing mechanically 
every outward virtue, it is Mrs. Henry 
Spike. She never loses her temper, indeed 
I doubt if sho has any to loso. Sho never 
betrays any flutter of vanity or wounded 
feeling. To the calmness of a statue, sho 
adds an instinctive perception of decorum, 
a rigid adherence to rectitude, which leaves 
nothing to hope or fear, and very littio to 
enjov. Nothing can disturb her. When 
our infant was dangorously ill, sho m.oved 
about his cradle with the same unperturb¬ 
ed composuro, and dropped his last cordial, 
as we thought, into tho cup with an un¬ 
trembling hand.” 
“ I hardly seo how you canto to marry 
her,” remarked Edward, par parenthese. 
“She was pretty, and I mistook her nat¬ 
ural roses for blushes, and her silonco for 
delicate reserve. I was much moved when 
she once left mo in tears; 1 havo since 
learned she had tho tooth-ache. I can 
never find in hor deportment anything to 
forgive, and I am tired of praising where 
correctness seems inevitable. Besides, she 
don’t care for praise. Sho was wound up at 
birth, and her heart pulsates with tho regu¬ 
larity of a pendulum If I should hang 
myself of pure ennui. I know she would ar¬ 
range everything for a respectable burial. 
My condition is desperate. In passing 
through New York last winter. I religiously 
avoided seeing Lola Montes, for I knew I 
should bo smitten at a glance. The slight¬ 
est touch of human frailty seems absolutely 
refreshing. Speak, brothor, ho added after 
a brief pause, and in morcy point out sorao 
defect in Mrs. Charley Spike.” 
“ Mrs. Charley Spiko,” responded tho per¬ 
son addressed. “ is not absolutely stupid, nor 
entirely indifferent in matters of feeling. 
Sho gives some variety to life in point of 
temper, and permits me to hope to please, as 
well as fear to offend. But like your Recti- 
na, sho has, alas ! ono paramount idea.— 
‘ Order is Heaven’s first law/ and it is not 
the less that of my immaculate Vesta. Es¬ 
pecially does she insist upon tho most spot¬ 
less neatness, at the expense of all other 
considerations. I discovered soon after my 
marriage that the world was a little too 
good to live in. The parlors wore shut up 
to exeludo tho flies ; tho chambers, to avoid 
tho dust. Tho dining-room furnituro was 
robed in Holland covers, and ugly mats do- 
formed overy squaro yard of carpeting. 
Canaries were banished becauso they litter¬ 
ed their cage, and my pot spaniel dismissed 
for neglecting to wipo his feet. Then pick¬ 
les spoil tho cutlery, and eggs corrode tho 
silver; coffee is liable to stain tho linen, 
and evon butter, if incautiously used, may 
bo tho parent of a greaso-spot. Cigars I 
havo long sinco abjured, becauso spittoons 
are an abomination. If I sit, it is, ‘Mr. 
Spiko, your chair mars the wall, or ‘ Charles, 
you are rocking upon the rug.’ If I walk, 
it is, ‘Pray leavo your boots at the door, 
Mr. Spiko, and lot me bring you your slip- 
plors.’ I sometimes think I will romovo to 
a hotel, and send home my compliments 
daily in a perfumed note. I shall expect 
soon after to boo tho whole establishment 
modelled in wax, and reposing under glass, 
liko a collection of fanciful wonders. Come, 
Edward, your wife is no paragon. Confess 
your misery, and don’t detain us long.” 
“ Mine is not a pattern wifo, cortainly,” 
was tho response of tho younger brother. 
“ Sho is not distinguished for order, nor 
faultness in neatness, nor unerring in dis¬ 
cretion. She is very far from being a piece 
of clock-work, and thoro is a groat uncer¬ 
tainty, sometimes delightful, sometimes 
painful, as to what she will attempt, and 
whether tho result will be success or failure. 
There is room tor doubt as to particulars ; 
none at all as to tho gonoral tondency of 
A Western chap went to New York to 
purchase goods, &e., and was invited to one 
of those fashionable parties so common in 
large cities. Ho was clearly a western 
original, but said very littio until he saw | 
that the party was not to close without an 
attempt to corner him. At length a bevy 
of laughing girls, by the merest accident in 
the world, found themselves groped about 
western green one, in a most animated dis¬ 
course upon music, and city playing. 
When all this had progressed just far 
onough, ono of tho damsels with head more 
adorned without than within, and in that 
peculiar parlor drawl, which fortunately no 
typo can represent, accosted tho observed 
of all with— 
“ Ho tho ladies play music at the west, 
sir ?” 
Original saw the gamo, and resolved to 
win. 
“ Oh very universally, Misswas the 
cool reply. 
“ Indeed, I was not aware of that: pray, 
do thoy use the piano, mostly ?” 
“Never, Miss; the instrument that wo 
havo out our way is tho Swinette, and the 
girls all play it.” 
“ Oh, clear. I am suro, positively, that I 
never heard of that before : do tell what it 
is, and how they play.” 
“Well: the instrument is a small pig, 
and each girl takes ono of these under her 
arm, and chews the end of his long tail, and 
that brings the music !” 
Tho preconcerted “ come” made no far¬ 
ther progress; and for tho balance of the 
ovening our western “green” was the only 
lion of the show.

COURTSHIP AFTER MARRIAGE. 
[Translated from the German.] 
One evening, in a gay party at Ilerr 
Kretcnman’s tho subject turned upon fe¬ 
male beauty ; and a gentleman of the com¬ 
pany asserted that tho youngest daughter 
of tho Kamerath Ammon— a blonde, born 
in April, 1770—was tho most beautiful girl 
in tho city. I instantly resolved to satisfy 
myself upon the subject, without loss of 
time, and slipping out of the room, I wont 
straight to tho Kamerath’s houso and rang 
tho bell. 
Tho door was opened by the youngest 
daughter herself, who oxpkiined tho unusu¬ 
al circumstance by saying that it happened 
that no ono was in the house except her par¬ 
ents and herself. 
1 looked earnestly at tho maiden and found 
her beautiful beyond description; so with¬ 
out hesitation, 1 asked her, there upon tho 
threshold, if sho would bo my wife. 
“ Why not ?” answered she, “ but come in 
and speak to my parents.” 
We parted late in tho evening with a ten¬ 
der ombrace—all was settled between us. 
In tho viliage of Truppach, on tho 18th 
of January, 1796, we were married, in a 
good, simple country fashion, and lato in tho 
evening the bride stepped into my carriage 
at her father’s door, and went with mo to 
my old home. 
I soon found that it was oasior for a man 
to become a bridegroom than a wise hus¬ 
band. 
Wo plagued each other constantly in tho 
beginning, out of pure lovo, till from con¬ 
tinual vexation a coldness ensued, which 
wo both felt but could not account for. 
Yesterday my littio lady would not suffer 
mo to leave her side, and to day she found 
it good to visit hor brother, ten miles in the 
country, without bidding mo adieu, or 
naming the time of her return, 
Two days after this, hasty messongers 
came one after another—I must come—I 
should come—without me she could have no 
peace. 
I went, and the joy of tho ro-union seem¬ 
ed as iffit never could end. On the follow¬ 
ing day I was again a burden. I left with 
a cold parting, and that self-same night 
came the repentance by an extra post—sho 
could not live without mo 1 must hasten 
back. 
This certainly would not do—in this way 
all my identity would bo destroyed. 
Sinco tho day of my marriage with my 
beautiful wifo, 1 had been tho submissive 
slave of her will, but now that it was plain 
sho had a will of her own, I must follow 
some other plan. I sat down to consider, 
and after some reflection determined what 
to do. 
Sinco my marriage my old employments 
and pursuits had been altogether neglected, 
but I now resumed them, and as much as 
possible roturned to my bachelor life. 
My wife sent every day letters full of 
toars, but I paid no attention to them out¬ 
wardly although thoy touched rny heart 
sorely- At length I wrote her a long, se¬ 
rious letter, in which I said that as we had 
been married without previous courtship, it 
was not at all strange that, being unac¬ 
quainted with each others character, we 
could not harmonize together, and I pro¬ 
posed that she should remain at her father’s 
house at present, and that with her permis¬ 
sion, I would visit her two or three times a 
week, and spond an evening with her in 
conversation, until wo were acquainted with 
each other, and after that, if she should liko 
mo well onough, I would take her home to 
bo my wife—but if she found sho could not 
be satisfied with my habits, manners and 
character, I would leave her under her fil¬ 
er’s roof, giving up all claims upon her. 
This plan did not please hor much ; but 
sho appoared to think it would not bo be¬ 
coming in her to bring up any objection. 
Well—to cut a long story short, after a 
formal courtship of no very groat length I 
once more took hor hor home, and she 
made one of the best littio wives in tho 
world. 
Bad Spelling. —A gentleman wrote Dr. 
Francis the following note : 
“ Dear Doctor :—1 caught cold yesterday, 
and have got a littio horso. Pleas write 
what I shall do for them.” 
The following was tho answer: 
“ Dear P. :—For tho cold take a pound of 
butter candy. For the littio horse, buy a 
saddle and bridle, and ride him out tho first 
time we have fair weather. 
Yours, Du. F.” 
A Reason. —“ I say Sambo, does ye know 
what makes do corn grow so fast when you 
puts do manure on it?” “No, I don’know 
hardly, ’cept it makes the groun’ stronger 
for do corn.” “ Now I jist tell ye. When de 
corn ’gins to smoll do manure it dont like 
de Turnery, so it hurries out ob do groun’ 
and gits up as high as possible, so’s not to 
breathe tho bad air.”

BY F. II. COOK. 
Mr. Jeduthun Spike was an eccentric 
bachelor of fifty. Ilis mother died in giv¬ 
ing him birth, and it would seem that tho 
mother-hoart died with her, for from that 
hour the hapless Jeduthun seomo l to have 
no perception of feminine excellence, and 
diverted himself with ridiculing the foibles 
of the sex, whose true character was to him 
a despised enigma. As a babo, he was fed 
and tended by an invalid brother many 
years his senior ; and ho afterwards grew in 
stature, and a hard, ungenial kind of wis¬ 
dom, without much matronizing from any¬ 
body. As years and possessions increased, 
ho boarded at a fashionoble hotel, where the 
cook and attendants were of his own sex, 
and ignored tho address of his laundress.— 
His predispositions against matrimony were 
confirmed and strengthened by the tato of 
the brother alluded to, who married some¬ 
what late in life, and after an unhappy con¬ 
nexion of seven years’ duration, loft his 
widow, a permanent inmate of an insane 
asylum, and his three boys to the guardian¬ 
ship of their uncle. The recipient of this 
unexpected legacy, who had till then loved 
nothing in the whole of his miserable life, 
felt a strange pleasure in the duties of this 
new and unsolicited relation. The docility 
with which the little lellows accommodated 
themselves to tho oddities of tho eccentric 
humorist, their unquestioning faith in his 
most startling dogmas, and their artloss ex¬ 
hibitions of personal attachment, won upon 
his isolated nature to a degree that sur¬ 
prised himself. It seemed that those help¬ 
less childron were destined to fulfil to the 
lonely old man that feminine mission with¬ 
out which human life is a failure, and hap¬ 
piness a myth. With a devotion and pa¬ 
tience hardly to be expocted of him, ho 
roared tho fragile boys to manhood, gave 
them all tho needful advantages of books, 
and schools, and pocket money, and at last 
saw them all established in businoss, and in 
a way to do credtt to thomselves and their 
connexions. Judge then of his painful as¬ 
tonishment when all three waited upon him 
in a body, to announce that they had joint¬ 
ly and severally formed the audacious reso¬ 
lution of committing matrimony. Neithei 
would have dared to approach the subject, 
alone, and though countenanced by each 
other, thoy felt so much gratitude, rever- 
enco and compassion for the prejudiced old 
man, that thoy fairly trombled for tho re¬ 
sult. 
Whon tho confession was made to Mr. 
Jeduthun Spike, ho turned his back on the 
agitated young men, and walked quickly 
to tho window. After standing silently for 
some minutos, ho turned and said very 
calmly: 
“ Well, boys, I have nursed you through 
the measles, and the scarlet fever, and tho 
whooping cough, and I did my best to alle¬ 
viate what I could not provont. You are 
now the victims of a disorder quite as gen¬ 
eral as the other, and for which there is no 
remedy but experience. Neither precept 
nor example,” — here his lips quivered 
slightly—“ have been of any avail in your 
case. Go then and marry if you will. I 
give my full consent, on ono condition only. 
It is that you all present yourselves in throe 
years from this day and hour, and declare 
solemnly, upon the worth of your re¬ 
maining manhood, whether you are unhap¬ 
py, and why. The causes of misery in wed- 
“ What’s that horse out of ?” said a fel¬ 
low, with a view to quiz a farmer’s boy, who 
was riding an old horse, which showed less 
blood than bono. “ Out of?” “ Yes, what’s 
he out of—do you know ?” “Yes, 1 do."— 
“ Well, what ?” “ Out of oats !” 
Hats worn on tho heads of a discourse— 
tho bucket that hung in “ All’s well,” and 
fragments of the man that burst into tears, 
are said to be tho last curiosities found. 
“ Mike, and is it yerself that can bo afthor 
tilling mohow thoy make ice cratne ?” “ In 
truth I can—don’t they bake them in cowld 
ovens, to bo shure.” 
Tiie substance of the verdict of a recent 
coroner’s jury on a man who died in a state 
of inebriation, was—“ Death by hanging—

each insertion ,—in advance. The circulation of the

paper published in the State, out of New York city- Only 
a limited space, however, is devoted to advertisements, and 
hence preference is given to those most appropriate—such 
as the cards and notices of dealers in Agricultural Imple¬ 
ments and Machinery,—Horticulturists and Seedsmen,— 
Booksellers and Publishers,—Inventors, etc. All orders 
by mail should be accompanied with the cash. 
To enable us to accommodate as many as possible, brief 
advertisements are preferred. Latent medicines, &e., will 
not be advertised in this paper on any terms.
