BY THE BARD OF THE GLEN
In the columns of your paper,
I weekly read the news,
And I know your humble poet
Wears no otLer author's shoes.
To say that he would copy,
Preposterous indeed,
He soon would be detected,
If he would. thus proceed
I read his matchless poems,
Free from the gloss of art,
Not a spark of egotism
Has place within his heart.
Speak not of birth or station
'Tis chaff before the wind,
Boast not of education,
'Tis God endows the mind.
I admire, but do not envy ;
His poems are sublime,
I do not think there's any,
Who could criticise his rhyme
His "Crowning Gift of Heaven,"
Willlive when Ile is gone,
And will be read by many,
Who are as yet unborn.

how Mr. Shank was Scared into Getting a Wife.
BY W. 11. WILLIAMSON
CHAPTER I
Boon Shank was a man greatly admired
by the ladies. Ile had accumulated no
diminutive portion of this world's goods.
But fate had led him into the precincts
of bachelorhood, where woman finds it
breezy sailing. True, many have anchored;
after a perilou3 voyage, safely within the
much envied harbor, which is ever over
shadowed by dark clouds, of a self-deter
mined will against the fair sex, with no
beacon light to guide the pretty craft to
the moorage within the ofd harbor, save
her woman's instinct, which has ever
proven too weighty for man.
"When they set sail against a fellow, he
flounders, and there is no life-boat at hand
but theirs," so says our good friend, Boon
Shank.
He was thirty and seven years old. llad
seen the day when he was given to flirting
--as few men are—but had grown tired of
woman-kind, as he could not find his ideal
of womanly perfection. 'The truth is this. he
believed there was not a lady from "mother
Eve" down to his day, but what would
give her life for him, and lie was waiting
to see two or three sacrificed before he
would deign to honor one with his name.
It never happened. He lived on the
flower-decked banks of "Sunny Lake," in
a superb moss.covered cottage. A very
attractive port for woman. But oh, how
many had been wrecked in their attempts
to anchor ! Truly it was a nature favor
ed spot. The waters of the lake were
like suthe largoAthrror in which was re
flected the rugged rocks of the banks. But
the most lovely picture resting upon its
bright bosom was the cottage. It Stood
surrounded by roses, a beauty of its kind.
But no woman had ever slumbered beneath
its roof.
"Well, Boon, old fellow, where have you
been ? I've been in waiting this hall hour."
"Sorry to hear it, I've been taking my
morning walk, it is so grand to walk along
the bank of the lake, beneath the drooping
pine, it is a stimulus for thought, you
know."
is time you were thinking, no
doubt, aboqtmatrimony, it is time you would
turn your ihoughts in that direction."
"Oh, pshaw I John Dale, if you think
as little of matrimony as I do, you are as
far from that trap as the sun is from the
earth."
"I should not want to be that far, Boon."
"Now see here, John, I would feel com
fortable indeed, to have a woman ordering
me out of bed in the morning to make fire,
or to go over town to get a pair of tasseled
bopts. No, sir, John Dale, lam not going
to make a fool of myself."
"It's just what you should do, you are'
able to keep a wife, and you are not the
man I take you to be, if you don't: By
the way, Boon, have you heard of the re
turn of farmer Hay's daughter Maggie ?"
"No, what about her ?"
"Why, enough surely. She sings as
sweetly :Is the meadow larks, and as pretty
a little creature as—"
"Yes, there you go, John, falling in love
with every girl you meet. But I'll bet
her father won't allow a young man to go
near her."
"Oh yes he will, for he is awful proud
of her, and lie has reason to be."
"Well, when I call upon her, his old
back will be humped worse than it is."
"Come, Boon, I know she would be glad
to meet you."
"0, perhaps she would, no doubt, but
she will have to stroll over this way to gel
be chance."
"You will be gratified, for here she
comes with a lady friend. You must meet
her,
tea, for they go on up the lake they
will have to pass right by the door."
Boon sprang to the glass, and combed
his hair, and stroked his moustache with an
air of pride.
"Good morning, Miss Hays, allow me
the pleasure of presenting my friend Mr.
Shank, to your acquaintance."
Boon bowed as if to some queen, but as
he did so, his boots slid off a rolling stone,
and he landed headlong at her feet, gath
ering up his awkward length he started af
ter his hat. Maggie Hay did not laugh,
or even smile, which greatly pleased Mr.
Shank. But John Dale almost pushed the
end of the cottage in, as he leaned against
it. Maggie invited Mr. Shank to join
them in their walk. He soon felt at case
in her company, and was the same old
coquette, that had characterized him in
years past. He told John he "had half a
notion to engage in one of his old freaks at
flirting, and see how far Maggie would be
willing to go with him. But as for
or marrying her, he would as soon think of
marrying his grand-mother. He was not
the man to sacrifice his liberties," but be
lieving "she would be greatly pleased to
have him call, decided to go over."
CHAPTER 11.
It has been many month since Mr.
Shank first presented himself at farmer
Hay's door. He is now seated by the side
of Maggie, bis face radiant with smiles.—
A few days previous, farmer Hay and Mr.
Shank had a fearful quarrel, which result
ed in Boon's being forbidden the house.—
While conversing with Maggie, he heard
her father's step upon the porch. He ran
for a back window of the room in which
they were sitting. It was some distance
from the ground, the night was one of
Egyptian darkness, he made his egress,
first hanging by both hands for a moment,
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1874.
fearing the fall, then by one only. At
length giving himself a little swing, drop
ped, when to his great dismay, be sank
down into a barrel, up to his waist. We
pity him too much to name the contents of
that barrel, but had some hungry porker
chanced to pass by just then, Boon Shank's
situation would have been an envied one.
Not.stopping to ki a Maggie good night,
he hurried home, as best be could. His
new suit was ruined. As he was getting
into bed, he growled to himself, saying,
"I will court that girl in spite of his old
teeth." Procuring a new outfit, he soon
presented himself at farmer Hay's resi
dence, but came late this time, knowing
the old gentleman's habit of retiring early,
but it didn't happen so. Maggie informed
him that her lather was in town. Af
ter being complimented as to his fine
appearance, elegant suit, &c., Boon
heard the old man coming. With a
look of horror he avoided the window
which had once betrayed its trust.
It was a warm evening, and he perched
himself up in the window, which was
hoisted on the side of the porch, and after
Mr. Hay entered the hall, he slid clown
and took a comfortable seat outside, wait
ing for Maggie's father to retire. First,
firmer Hay asked his daughter to sing and
play. While this was going on Boon smiled
to himself, took off his hat, and leaned
back against the wall, beneath the window,
and actually lit a cigar and was taking
things easy, laughing at the idea of the
old man forbidding hint his house.
"Why I can court his daughter right
under his nose."
Mr. flay called for a large pail of water
to bathe his feet. When this was done,
he dumped it out of the window. Boon's
cigar went out, and he lit out on all fours.
His pockets were full of the disgusting
fluid, and it was streaming down his back
and face. He snorted and spouted like a
whale. Poor fellow, he was too mad to
sleep that night.
."That suit of clothes won't be fit to go
to see her any more, and then I must not
let her know what happened, as I wit,
have to get another, just like it. The old
rascal ! I am glad his daughter is not like
him ; he never had more brains than a
dinner horn."
Thus he continued soliloquizing all
night. He thought it best to remain at
home for-a few days, and treat his unfor
tunate apparel to an airing upon the pick
et fence in the rear of Sunny Lake Cot
tage. The third time be was compelled
to consult his purse, and purchase new dry
goods, and this wrought him up to a fear
ful deterniidation to court Maggie Hay, in
defiance of her father.
The sun was casting his last golden rays
aslant from the top of the mountain, deep.
down into the bosom of the lake, when
Boon Shank sallied forth to make the
third trial. Ile approached Mr. Hay's
house after nightfall, rather nervous, with
no little precaution. Thinking the coast
clear, and hoping in his heart that the old
man's craft was floundering in some great
sea of dreams, he bravely walked to.the
window and peeped in. Seeing no one
but the object of his regard, he Burled his
handkerchief at her, and it missed the
mark. She did not notice it. Picking
up a pebble, he threw that, which struck
against the opposite window, which was
not hoisted. Believing it to be Boon, she
sprang to the window and raised it, and
stood looking out into the darkness. Boon
was half angry that she did not go to the
right window, but hurried around the
house to meet, and ask if her "dear" (?)
father had retired. He merely had a
glimpse of her lovely features, and 'hen
she closed the window, and walked to the
one Boon had first stationed himself at.
Boon started back. Maggie looked out for a
moment, and not seeing the one she was
looking for, felt a tremor of fear pass over
her, and closed the window, just as Boon's
cranium appeared around the corner. In
a moment of rage and disappointment he
kicked against - the house, striking his toe
against a nail which had been driven into
the wall to support a clinging vine. He
went hopping off on one foot, the ether
tenderly clasped in both hands. After he
had brushed the tears from his eyes, and
forgiven Margie, he went back. Now
he saw his chance. Maggie's pet cat was
sitting in the window, in which there was
a broken glass.
"I'll give her a little prod with my fin
ger, when she will spring down, causing
Maggie to look this way."
No quicker thought than done, but the
cat did not spring down, but, mistaking his
finger for a mouse, struck it with such
force that the next moment Boon was a
rod from the house, sucking his finger as
if it were a stick of candy. Maggie
heard the rumpus and came to the win
dow. Boon was greatly interested as to
farmer Hay's whereabouts, and his first
inquiry caused Maggie to inform him that
her "father had driven to mill, and would
not be home for some time." Boon ceased
his wanderings and entered the house. Ile
kept casting dark glances at the cat ; the
latter eyed him, until it would ba
difficult ti say which looke.l the more
revengeful. It was not lung until Mr.
Shank heard the old farmer calling to
his horses. Ile waited until he heard
him coming, then sprang behind the
soffit. Maggie furnished him with supper,
and music, which consumed an hour.—
Boon began to feel awful tired, crouched
down behind the sofa in a little corner, on
his hands and knees, first raising one knee,
and then the other,
for they began to feel
as though he were kneeling on fire. Mag
gie was next invited to take a seat by her
father.
"We don't get a chance to talk often,
my daughter, fir you have so much com
pany lam glad you waited foi: your old
nther."
"Yes, but it is growing late."
‘'Never mind that, you can take your
rest in the morning "
Then the old farmer asked her all the
questions he could think of, which con
sumed much time. Bonn began to feel
discouraged, and thought of praying for
deliverance, believing he was in a worse
fix than ever Daniel was in the lions' den,
for, no doubt., he had a comfortable se.st,
and the beasts could not harm him, but
this old tiger was ready at any moment,
should he stir, to pounce upon him.
"See here, my daughter. I want to know
one thing. I want to know if' you and
Boon Shank are going to hitch soon or not ?
Come now, none of your blushing, sing
out. I have nothino. against Boon, he is
spunky, and that's what I like."
"Well, father, Mr. Shank has not as yet
asked me to be his wife."
"lie hain't, and been going with you for
nearly a year, wastin' time. and using up
my coal and Pe. He shall ask you," yell
ed the old man. "I'll see if he don't.—
Now go to . bed, and be sure of this one
thing, that Boon will ax you the next time
he comes."
Farmer Hay closed the windows, and
locked the door after him. Boon first tried
the door, then the windows, which were
fastened by a secret spring. could do noth
ing but lie down and wait for day-light.
The old gentleman laid his plans, and was
astir bright and early. Going into the
parlor, who does he see but his victim
stretched fast asleep upon the floor. After
a few minutes thought, he got an ink bot
tle, a pen, and a "judgment pre-cmption
note." All ready, he carcfullygot astride
of poor Boon, turned, him on his back, ta
king a very comfortable seat. Boon stared
at him as if he were a f , ,host. ' Look ye
here, Mr. Shank, none o . ' that kicken', its
me, and I mean business. I want to know
your sentiments ?"
- "I have nothing against Mr. Hay,"
muttered Boon.
"It would do ye no good if ye had. I
am master of this party. You have been
foolin arom.d here long enough."
"Well, I'll not come back any more,
Mr. Hay," said Boon, with tears in his
eyes, for he saw the ink bottle in the old
man's hand, and mistook it fir a pistol.
"I believe you, it' you don't do as I want
y9u. ,,
"0! anything, Mr. Ihy."
"That's more like it, now see here, no
more of squirming, just sign this note."
"What note ?"
•This judgment pre-emption note for the
amount of five thousand dollars, payable
two months after date, if not married to
my daughter Maggie, that you may write
on the back as conditions."
What could Boon do but sign his name,
and write the conditions of the non-pay
ment of it.
"And what if she will not have me."
'See to that ycr self."
Boon lay all the next night. dreaminr ,
of the old man. Then would come the
beautiful eyes of Maggie to haunt him.
lie had to confess against his stubborn
will, !hat he loved her. If she refuses me,
just think my five thousand dollars will be
gods, and the idea of seeing her little tas
sled boots along side of my great clumsy
ones, and two to one, if there wouldn't be
a grecian bend hung upon the bed post.
No, I never will be duped into all this
foolery, she is beautiful, awl I think she
loves me. But what. if she didn't ? Here
he groaned. But then she would not al
low my clothing to lie there on the floor,
they would have to be hung up on some
sort of a hook, in short, I would have to
be as print as a baby dressed for church.
Hang me; if I am going to give up my
long cherished rights to any woman. But
that old alligator might kill me, then I
would he of no use to myself or any one
else. I wonder if Maggie ever prays, if I
thought she did, I would ask her to pray
for me, but then she would know I am in
trqble and that must not be. I'll go west,
buras soon as I do, that old weather-beat
en mummy will burn my cottage. Confound
the women, I say. She had not robbed
man of part of his beautiful creation. and
sprung up by his side like a mush-room,
and he had scarcely learned to love her,
'till she got hint into a peck of trouble by
eabi of the forbidden fruit, and two to
one it she would not go searching around
and find that glass of crabapple jelly that
I have had for the last five years to 14)0k
at. Just like all of them.
llere he went off ini.o a convulsiln of
laughter, for it just occurred to him how ri
diculous it would be to sec dresses, grecian
bends, false hair, buttoned boots, and oth
er things too numerous and delicate to
mention, strewn about the floor of his lit
tle sanctum sanctorum. But then it would
be a novel thing, thought Boon, and other
men stand it, aad even g o 1-o tar as to say
they are happy. But th en I have stretch
ed myself unmolested in this old bed for
the last five years, and it seems so silly to
think of having a young thing to lay and
grin at a fellow, when lie would sleep with
his mouth open. But what would I dc, if
she should say no ? When have I seen a
women I loved as well ?
When little Willie Shank, with his
kown eyes, the very personification of
mamma's, gets ont of bed, and puts his lit•
tle chubby foot into mamma's little tassled
boot, and then puts both into papa's great
clumsy one. and looks up into the lace of
his loving father, Boon Shank. to see if
his success has been noticed, Boon says
"every man who does not marry at fifteen
years old, is a—well, a very unfortunate
fellow."

NEW YORK, May 25, 1874.
Oleomargarine is in more people's months
now than any other word in New York. I
referred to this two weeksa,go. Some ingen
ious chemical fiend discovered that the
properties of' butter did not differ, except
in flavor, from tallow or suet, or anything
else in the way of fat. So this diabolical
wretch goes to work and finds out the chem
ical atrocities that gives the flavor to but
ter, and proceeds to make a butter which
he styles Oleomargarine. He takes suet or
tallow and refines it, then he adds these
other ingredients and works them all to
gether, and the result is a compound which
looks like butter, smells like butter, and,—
he says, is baiter. But, good .CS,I! what
kind of stuff is it ? When yon spread it
on your bread what earthly confidence have
you in it ? it will require a more sublime
faith to cat it than it does the complex
hash at a boarding house. There is trouble
among the dealers about it. The dealers
who
bring time yellow article made from
actual milk drawn froni tile actual teats of
actual cows, insist that they shall nett be
put in competition with the manufacturers
of suet and tallow. They assert. that the
Olentuar, , arine shall be branded as such,
and put upon the market as such, that the
public may know exactly what they are
buying. Theo if the people want the
manufactured article, they may buy it. and
if they want actual butter they may buy
it
I tried t iernnargarine, and I hasten to
give my testimony. It won't du. Poor
people .lay be compelled to use something
like it, but the human being who can get
pure butter will try the new article just
once, and never again. Since trying it
my respect for that noble animal, the cow,
has increased a thousand per cent. She
knows her business.
PEDESTRIANISM
Pedestrianism is the rage here just
now. Weston, the great failure, who has
tried to accomplish more feats than any
man living, came here to walk 115 miles
within 24 hours, which, for a wonder, he
accomplished. The mania for physical de
velopment has spread to the upper classes.
Young James Gordon Bennett, the proprie
tor of the Herald, always fond of muscu-
larity, commenced paying w3me attention
to pedestrianism. A lawyer named Whip
ple had an idea that there was something'
in his legs and feet, and a match iris made.

MUSCCLARITT,
John Morrisicy h. been and gone and
done it. There i. a I>e•mtncratic politician
in New York named Fox. who, from 3
common laborer, has in a few years become
very wealthy, by which I mean he has been
in the Legislature a few vars. Fox awl
Morrisseyfellout. and the other night they
met iu adrinking. s:thinn. Fix stiinvitisA
3lorrissey . as a prise fighter, and Morrissey
denounced Fui as a thief.
Fox got excited, and Morr sey, lo
sing control of himself, became for the mo
ment the gladiator of old, and Itivekell Fox
through sc:eral partitions. Nr.w, a Crbt
between ordinary men is nathing. but be
tween two such men it means something.
rec
They are big chieftains, each with his sd
lowers of thousands—they are men whose
acts are public property, pewsemis% public
interest. True, one was a pros-liglater sad
is a gambler, and the other was sad is a
ring politician • but that matters ant. The
first represent ed a Democratic l'istriet in
New York in Congress, and the other a
District in the State Senate, and. between
them, they control more political power
than any two men in the Etate. The par
ty is already divided on it. and what the
result will be no one can say. Wiwn Nor
ris-ey whips Fox. the Dein g..ratic party of
the nation is shaken to the centre
It is a curious cam:pent:ay on the civili
zation of' the 19th century that such a man
as Morrissey should possess any power what
ever. He was for years a pugilist by pro
fession—a man whose living was in the
ring—one of the kind that had be lived in
Rome in the time of the Emperors, would
have been compelled to the life of a glad
iator for the amusement of the citizens.—
But this man—this bruiser—not repentent
of his pat misdeeds, but glorying in them
—changing his method of living only foe
the worse, for he now runs g-ambling hells
—has been elected to Congress, and today
holds in hi+ hands the political destinies of
the great city that controls the great St ite
that really controls the Nation. Is eici'i
zation a failure ?
Fox ts really the world man. fii.r

is an article v,sry mud; d:scussed just now..
The last winter art:4 so warm at open that
very little ice was tumid', much Ic-s honied.
Probably the ausonnt actually stored is
much less than half the regular supply,
and that half is an inferior qullity. I.
the country where evil eprinvi anti ec9ler
wells furnish the water, ice is aluxury hat
by no means a necessity. But here where
the water runs through mires and mil,* of
pipes, and comes out of the fattels warm
to a sickening degree, it is as much a ne
cessity as II ,or, for without ice to cool it. it
is really unit to drink. The butchers hive
to lilve it, the brewe-s, and everybody has
to have it. And war comes a hot summer
and less than half a supply on hand. The
people up in Maine who cut ice f o the New
York market, have doublmi their prices,
and of course prices are more than doubled
here. Consequently, the poorer clisses will
be compelled to rub along in some way
without it—how, I emnot see. Rat did
you ever notice the wonderful capabilities
of poverty T The poor people who cannot
get ice, will disc ver they cap do without
it, and live. They have bees forced to
the discovery that they could 41) without
a great many things, *tick %Imola be essen
tial if they hail the wherewithal to get
them. But the doing without ice is manly
a small part of the trouble. The butchers
make ice, the reason for advancing the
price of meat, the brewers for patting up
the price of beer. and so it will go thrangh
all the trades and occupations. I Amold
not be surprised if the street railroads
would advance their far... on the stren t :th
of this shortage.
REIL rtITATT.
There has been a marked decline in real
estate in New York within the past year
—a positive decline. A very few dwellings
and stores were rented this •print at the
old rates, but a great majority of landhirds
were compelled to be e: 'ntent with a Ti'
duction of from 2i) to 50 per cent. And
consequently the prix. or rather value. of
real estate, has declined correspondingly.
This is not altogether the effeet of the pa
ic, though of course that had sornethinz
to do with it. But there are ntle'r causes
mere potent than panics. The city is
governed by non-property holders, who
take great pleasure in sweating property.
The roughs and bruisers, who are either
in the government personally or contr.l
those who are in, look upon the tax-paj
crs as their legitimate game. and they
make the most of then. The tax payer is
powerless, for the neighs can and do cleet
