BENEDICT'S APPEAL TO A BACIIELOR
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
Dear Charles be persuaded to wed,
For a sensible fellow like you,
It's high time to think of a bed,
And muffins and coffee for two.
So have done with doubt and delaying—
With a soul so apt to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying,
'Tie singular you should be single !
Don't say that you havn't got time—
fiat business demands your attention—
Th re is not the least reason or rhyme
in the wisest excuse you can mention
Don't tell me about "other fish"—
Your duty is clone when you buy 'em—
And you will never relish the dish,
Unless you've a woman to fry 'em.
You may dream of poetical fume,
But your wishes May chance to miscarry,
The best way of sending ono's name
, To ilosteriLy, Charles, is to marry
And hero I am willing to own,
After soberly thinking upon it,
I'd very much rather ho known
By a beautiful son than a sonnet
Then Charles bid your doubting good bye.
And dismiss all fantastic alarms—
I'll sworn you've a girl in your eye
'Tis your duty to have in your arms
Some trim little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure-eyed elf,
With virtues and graces plenty
And no failing but loving yourself !
Don't search for an ‘-angel" a minute,
For granting you win the sequel.
The deuce, after all, wonldsbe in it,
With a union so very unequal !
The angels, it must be confessed,
In this world are rather uncommon;
And allow me dear CharleS to suggest,
You'll be better content with a woman !
Then, there's the economy—clear,
By poetical algebra shown—
If your wife has a grief or a tear, '
Ono-half, by the laws, is your own.
And as to the joys—by division
They're nearly quadrupled, 'tis said,
(Though I never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item of bread.)
Then Charles be persuaded to wed,
For a sensible fellow like you,
It's high time to think of a bed.
And mullins and coffee for two.
So bare dune with doubts and delaying—
With a soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying,
"ris singular you should lire single. a
From the '• Knickerbocker," of Dec. 1857
The Man who Thought Himself a
Woman:
Japhet Colbones was a very odd indi
vidual. All his ancestors were odd indi
viduals as far back as they can be remem
bered. His great-grand-father, at the age
of seventy-one, built a hut in a patch of
thick woods, leaving a handsome and com
fortable home, a wife, children, and grand
children, to live alone by himself. He
even forbade the visits of his family,
though a 6,''vorite daughter ventured
sometimes to present herself ou the for
bidden premises, till one day he brought
out his gun and threatened to shoot her if
she came again. At long intervale. he
would return to his old home, but he re
quired to be received in all respects as a
stranger. Dire was his wrath if any one
called him "father ;" and the little tow
headed urchins on the premises were
taught, with their catechism, not to notice
the old man whenever they should see him . ,
nor on peril of their lives, to call him by
the endearing cognomen of grand-daddy.
Nobody could account for this freak
taken in his old age. His forest residence
was uncouth, irregular—lighted by an
unsheltered opening, filled with logs and
coarse contrivances for furniture. There,
in his rude fire place, he cooked the game
that he killed, with his own hands. When
ever he was out of necessary food he sup
plied himself from his well filled larder at
home, the servants or the daughters know
ing what provisions he wanted by the par
ticular basket or utensil he carried.
It was useless for the old wife, poor
thing ! to follow him mutely, the longing
in her heart to comfort and to live with
him, plainly written on her face. He
deigned to take no notice of her whatever,
except to frown if he met her eye; and thus
he lived till he died.
The son, grand-father to Japhet, was
not a whit behind his father iu his oddities.
Ho caused a coat to be made wherein were
introduced seven different colors, and
would not kill or allow to be killed on his
premises, any thing that had life. Conse
quently his family were G-rahamites against
their will. Cats and dogs swanned tin all
directions, and it took nearly everything
that was raised to keep his constantly
multiplying herds. None who lived in
Rattle-Snake Village can have forgotten
the extraordinary sensation caused by his
death, nor with what gusto scores of use
less animals were sacrificed to the manes
of the departed oddity.
Number three, father of Japhet, was in
his way an original and au eccentric. His
tastes travelled bookward. Not an auc
tion took place in the neighboring city
that he did not attend, and purchase every
leather-covered and worm-eaten volume
that could be found, oftentimes paying the
most ridiculous prices, extorted by those
who took advantage of his weakness, lie
is living now, a pale loose-jointed man, a
little weak in the knees, with au abundant
shock of iron-gray locks ; large, flatulent
looking blue-white eyes, a prominent nose,
and a peaked chin. In his house books
abounded. Not a closet, chest, trunk,
drawer or shelf but was filled with flapping
leaves. The children kicked and. tore
.them about the premises, for the old man
seemed to set no store by them after he
had made them his own by way of pur-
chase. All the sentimental maids and
youths came to 'Squire Colbones for mental
aliment, and I am not sure that the collec
tion was the choicest in the world. Many
of them were never returned.; and as Mrs.
Colbones said when the 'Squire grumbled,
she was sure it was a mercy, for they ate,
and drank, and sleep on books now ; and
if they were all returned they 'd have to
build additions every year for the sake of
getting a room to themselves.
All the male members of the Colbones
family were, as it is generally expressed,
"lacking somewhere." The women were
generally good, harmless creatures, with
few idiosyncrasies, and feeble mental con
stitutions, willing to put up with the queer
freaks of the masculines, and always ready
with a defence or an excuse when
they were particularly disagreeable. They '
did hope, however, the four maiden aunts
belonging to the last generation but one,
that Japhet, the most promising scion of
the family, and only son of his father,
(seven daughters preceding him) would be
free from all singularities, querities, quips,
quirks, and oddities ; and while they
watched him with fearful misgivings, they
yet said to themselves and . to each other :
" lie looks so different from the Colbones,
and so much like the Rashers, (his moth
er's side,) that I guess there won't be any
streaks in him." Japhet was a fine-look-
ing boy. The only drawback to his good
appearance was a head of somewhat un
wieldy size, and whitish blue eyes, exactly
liko his father's With books, of course,
he was on intimate terms, they having
been his playthings from his earliest years
—indeed he was seldom seen without
them. Manfully he mastered his "abs"
and “ebs," and hurried forward to the
first class in the primary school. So rapid
was his progress, that every-body marvel
led, and an itinerant phrenologist examined
his cranium for nothing, because, he said,'
" One did not often meet such splendid
development of brain." Forthwith he de
clared that .lappet must go to college ;
that he shouldn't wonder if the boy was a
marvel ; yes, he fully expected to ask him
for au office when he should advance to the
dignity of being President of the United
States. The elder Colbones was in rap
ture, and almost went to the city heels
over head in his anxiety to buy more
books, that the science and ologies might
be crammed into that capacious brain.—
Only one person professed to have no faith
in the predictions of the man with tho
sculls, old tiuudy Granger—the matron of
the poor-house.
" La!" she would say, putting her
thumbs on her hips, "do you suppose a
Colbones 'll ever come to anything'? Talk
about his brain ; anybody might see it was
rickety. Take my word for it, he 'll be as
much of a foul as the rest on 'em."
Suddenly, when he was fourteen, Master
Japhet refused to go to school any longer.
Ills mother coaxed him, his father beat
him, but all to no purpose. He had learn
ing enough, he said ; he meant to go to
farming, or anything else he liked. He
had his way, left the red school house;
made up faces at the teacher when he
asked him why; bought himself yarn and
knitting needles, and pestered his mother
till she taught him how to knit. From
knitting he went to embroidery, and during
the long winter evenings made fancy seats
for chairs, table-covers, and everything
else lie could think of, saying that he was
preparing himself for future housekeeping.
His family grew accustomed to his odd
ways, and his sisters happy that instead of
teasing them as other brothers did their
sisters, he sat down with them like a real
good boy, and when they were in a quan
dary, helped them out. Japhet was some
thing of a genius, in his way, in devising
patterns, and drawing them ; and he often
made a sixpence in this manner. As he
grew older he became more and more fond
of his needle and of in-door employment.
The moment his labor was over in the field,
he would hie to his own little room, and
there cutting out artioles to please his
fancy, stitch away at them with all the
ardor of a young mother, shaping a dress
for her first-born. Singular as it may
seem, he was not ashamed to have his han
diwork shown at the county fair, with his
name attached, and contemplated a hand
some quilt, which he bad contributed, with
as much satisfaction as a first-rate machin
ist gazes at the complicated cogs and
wheels, shafts and pulleys.
Every body laughed at Japhet, though
they said it was to be expected, coming
from so odd a family. The girls made all
manner of sport of him, especially Nanny
Halliday and Nelly Gray, two yound ladies
who were quite near neighbors of the odd
family, and to whom Japhet distributed
his smiles Ind nodded his capacious head.
44 Don't you say another word to me
about Japhet Colbones," cried Nanny, iu
great wrath, to some one who quizzed her.
44 Good laws ! ketch me to have a woman
for a husband when there are plenty of
men about."
44 But jest see what a grand farm you'd
get, Nanny," pursued her tormentor ; "and
if ever you get tired of cutting out, makin'
and mendin', why, you could jest hand the
needle-book over to your husband, and
lie 'd do it as tidy as a mitten."
44 Oh ! do hush," cried Nanny with
spirit, her red cheeks growing redder ; "I
wouldn't marry Japhet Colbones if there
wasn't another fellow in the world."
Just then Tiddy Grant came into the
little cottage. Tiddy was twenty-four,
lean, poor, and worked very hard. Her
face had a sort of sharp prettiness that
sometimes falls to the lot of thin people.—
She had been washing, and came to rest
herself in talking with her neighbors.
44 Poh !" she exclaimed, overhearing the
last remark , 44 you're a great fool, if lie's
asked you, I'm sure. Catch me to refuse
a young man that's got nothing suspicious
about him but a few little oddities. I'm
sure Japhet's a very good farmer, and a
very good-looking young man, too ; and
as for his sewing propensities, I know some
men that had better be using needle and
thread than be lounging in bar-rooms and
making their wives miserable."
Little she thought that Japhet, now a
young man of nineteen, was hidden in the
next room, and that he had indulged in
another odd freak in prevailing upon an
old friend ko propose for him in this novel
manner.
" !bless us, Japhet !" exclaimed his sis
ters as he came down the next morning in
his newest suit of blue, with bright but
tons, " ain't you going to work ?"
" I am going to get married," said
Japhet, shortly.
Such a look of consternation ! The ,irls
caught their breath arid stared at him stu
pidly.
" For pity's sake, who to 1" queried the
oldest.
" Tiddy Grant," he responded, pulling
up his dicky before the looking glass.
" Oh ! g-r-a-c-i-o-u-s ! cried his eldest
sister again. " Why she's an old maid."
"So are you !" responded the young
man quietly.
" Well, if I am, I arn't going to get
married to a little b3y," retorted his sister
sharply.
" THAT COUNTRY IS TEE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR ' COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."
LANCASTER CITY, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY '2, 1858.
"Nor ain't she," replied Japhet, giving
a final look at the glass.
" I don't believe it ; it's only o - .e of his
odd freaks," said another sister, watching
him as he went down the road.
" It'll be just him exactly, to bring that
mean, poor spirited thing here thi • very
day," exclaimed another ; " and we can't
have a wedding or company, or anything."
" Like's not he'll find her at the wash
tub, and marry her in a check apron,"
said the younger sister, who had never
liked Tiddy, because she was poor and
mean in her appearance.
Off posted Japhet to the little old
brown cottage where lived Tiddy Grant.
At a long table her mother and herself
were ironing, for a living. Both paused
when they saw the young man ; aod Tiddy
bethinking herself of yesterday's speech
blushed till she looked almost hand•ome.
" It's a nice day," said Japhet.
"Very," echoed mother and daughter.
" A fine day to be married in," suggest
ed the young man.
Tiddy looked up in astonishment and
then looked down in confusion.
, c If you'll have me Tiddy, say Yes,'
and put your bonnet on ; we'll go right to
the minister's."
The poor girl was confounded ; she nev
er had received an offer before in her life.
So she stood awkwardly, catching by the
table ; 'hen in her consternation, took hold
of a hot iron, cried 44 Oh !" and sank upon
a seat paralyzed.
44 I ain't got much time," said Japhet
very coolly, rising ; ‘4 and I'm determined
to be married to day or never. If you'll
have me, here I am ; but you must make
haste or we shan't be home in time for
dinner."
" Law, Tiddy, are yuu dumb exclaim
ed old Mrs. Grant in an agony of fear that
her daughter would lose the chance ; do
say yes ' and done with it."
" Yes, and done with it," murmured
Tiddy, faintly..
Well now don't lose any time ; I've
got some hoeing to do to that patch of
corn at the left of the house. I'll wait
till you put on your bonnet and shawl."
Tiddy walked in a dream to the dour to
go up stairs. Then turning irresolutely,
she said, timidly : 4 ' What will your
si -
tors think ?"
" Law ! Tiddy do hurry !" cried Mrs.
Grant," while J.iphet said quite coolly
" I never ask them what they think, or
any body else."
Another moment of indecision, and Tid
dy was arraying herself in her best gown
--a shilling print—trembling, half laugh- •
ing, half crying. It was so strange ! ,so
odd ! but everybody knew Japhet came
from an odd family.
Japhet got home with his wife just as
his father drove up with a new cart-loa..
of books. Sisters and mother looked dag
gers at the double infliction. Old Mr.
Colbones glanced suspiciously at Tiddy
Grant, now Tiddy Colbones.
" Now you can all have your look, and
say your say," exclaimed Japhet ; "Tiddy
is my wife. I've jest been over and married
her, and brought her home - o dinner ;
hope it's most ready.'
The elder Colbones spoke not a word,
but sending for some one to unload his
books, he went complacently into the house.
Poor Mrs. Colbones, on the contrary fret
ted and fumed. " What did Japhet want
to be such a confoundeu fool for? Wasn't
the house full from cellar floor to clapboard
with trash ?—and now he must go, and
bring more."
Tiddy had not been in her new home a
week before the sisters of the new bride
groom held a consultation, with the doors
shut.
" Pin sure no suc.i thing over happened
before," whispered the eldest, " and I'm
almost confident that huzzy has taken it."
And don't you think, said Sarah, the
next eldest, two pair of my very finest
stockings are gone."
" And my nicest. newest flannel petti
coat," chimed in another.
" And my blue and green striped cal
ico !"
"Did mother tell you she missed two of
her best caps ?"
ic No ! the laws, you don't say so!"
Yes and like's not the huzzy has car
ried them to the old woman's at home,"
chimed in another.
" Well, I declare ! to think that Japhet
should go and marry a thief!"
All this while poor Tiddy was scrubbing
away down stairs, (tor work was her life,)
helping her mother-in-law. She had re
alty found in Japhet a first rate companion
and a very industrious husband. She had
not yet become sufficiently accustomed to
her sisters to like their ways ; she even
felt nervous and uncomfortable in their
presence. How would her indignation have
been roused could she have known that
they suspected her with stealing ! She
noticed their growing coldness, their
avoidance of her, and spoke to her hus
band about it. His only reply was :
going to build a house ; wait awhile."
With his father's aid, Japhet set him
self to work in earnest, and near the close
of the harvest he had a pretty little cot
tage, with a garden spot attached, and
a fine orchard in the rear. The land
was his father's gift ; the house he built
with his money, and furnished it neatly.—
By this time Tiddy was looked upon with
less suspicion by the odd family. They
had searched her drawers in her absense,
and found means to inspect even the old
widow's wardrobe.
Finding none of the missing clothes,
they contented themselves with calling it
a mystery, or supposing that in their ab
sence some strolling thief had robbed
them. As the family was over large, 'bid
dy suggested to her husband, that two of
his sisters should come and stay with them,
adding that, " she might be glad of their
services before a great while."
" Do just as you please," was the re
ply:
So Drusy, the eldest, and Fanny, the
next in age, were; invited to become in
mates of the new house. The girls very
willingly accepted the offer, as their father
was disclosing some new eccentricity every
day. He had recently had every 'door
taken from their hinges, and the house was
uncomfortably cold, until he had a mind
to put them on again.
Some years had passed, and Tiddy had
often congratulated herself on her good
fortune. She was the mother of two hand
some little girls, who were the delight of
their parents ; and Japhet, though very
odd and singular, had , developed no very
unusual trait of character.
One very pleasant morning Drusy came
down stairs in no very amiable mood.
"I can't find my best black silk !" she
cried in consternation ; " the one I earned
for myself—l've looked for it high and
low. And my nice tucked skirt is gone,
too 3 and Fanny's pink pereline and best
bonnet. What shall we do ? lam sure
they were all in my drawers yesterday !"
Tiddy was astonished as well as they.
She left her work and commenced search-
ing. In every nook and corner of the
house they hunted, turned chests wrong
side out, emptied drawers, stripped closets,
but nothing could bei found of the missing
articles. There was no other course for
Drusy, the poor thing, but to cry ; and at
it she went, bemoaning her ill-fortune in
the most extravagant manner
It certainly was very mysterious. None
but the usual inmates had been in tkWouse.
Tiddy searched her own part of the premises
as faithfully as every other. But what
should she want with the dress or vandyke?
She could get such things whenever she
wished? and Drusy did not even suspect
her this time : but how had it happened ?
By witchcraft ? The Colbones were very
superstitious, and they shuddered to go to
bed after this mishap: Drusy declared that
she heard foot-stePs every night ; and
waking up her sister the night after the
accident, both lay listening and trembling,
for there certainly was a sound as of some
one moving around the house.
" As sure as you live, Fanny, the house
is haunted," whispered Drusy.
" For pity's sake don't !" cried Fanny,
pulling the bed-quilt over her head.
" Pve heard that sometimes them that's
gone get a spite against you, and torment
you almost to
Prosy ! hold your tongue ' I wish
you had not waked we up," chattered Fan
ny under the bed clothes.
" I was only wondering," persisted
Drusy, who had a love for the horrible, "if
old grandpa Colboues
" I'll scream murder if you don't keep
still !" cried Fanny now trembling so that
the bed shook.
" Well, anyhow, there's a noise down
stairs. There, don't you hear it I Like
somebody marching."
Poor Fanny was striving to be oblivious
to everything, but it would not do ; she
was thoroughly frightened.
" 0 Drusy !" she moaned, if there should
be robbers ! Japhet has got money in the
houge ; and they might come in and mur
der us in our beds. 0 Drusy ! did you
lock the door ?"
Yes : Drusy never went to bed without
locking doors and windows, and shaking
every dress and stouking out, to be sure
there was nobody inside. She would have
gone to her brother's room, but that was
across the entry, and she was a coward.—
Beside, she was sure she had heard the
same sounds before, and they were yet un
harmed.
Fanny - declared the next day that she
would go back to her father's house, for
she was scared almost out of her seven
senses. Tiddy was astonished. Tiddy
had heard nothing ; but then, she added,
with a laugh, a whole regiment of soldiers
might come in the house, and she never
would know it, she was so sound a sleeper.
It was very strange, she said, an hour
after, she could not find her best shawl,
high nor low ; and two very fine night
dresses were gone. She had been hunting
for them quietly, though she very well
knew where she had left them. She had
but one place for them. Wasn't it strange ?
Dritsy wondered, Fanny Wondered ; but
Japhet said not a word, and soon went out
as usual.
" How dreadfully stupid Japhet looks
of mornings !" said Drusy, who began to
question and be suspicious of everybody.
" He's such a hard sleeper !" responded
Tiddy, " why, I can hardly get him awake
by breakfast time ! 1 have to pound him
and pull him and turn him !"
" He used to be, up earlier," said Drusy
thoughtfully.
In the course of the day a neighbor came
in and brought her knitting work.
" Has Japhet taken to peddling ?" she
asked with a little laugh.
" Taken to peddling !" echoed Tiddy
and both the sisters " what can you
mean ?"
" Why, he goes through the village
every day with a great tin box," replied
the woman ; " and actually as many as a
dozen people have asked me if he has gone
to peddling."
" I'm sure I don't know what you mean !"
said Tiddy ; " I didn't know he carried
any box of the kind:"
" Very strange !" said Drusy and Fan
ny ; but they determined to wait for the
wagon.' When they heard it coming they
hurried to a chamber at the back of the
house, overlooking the barn. Sure enough,
there was Japhet, just lifting from his
wagon with no little difficulty, a great tin
box such as peddlers carry. The sisters
looked at each other ; what did it mean ?
44 Between you and me," whispered
Drusy, " I shouldn't wonder if he grew
strange as he grew older ; you know they
say al the others 'did ; but what can he
have in that box ?'
I'm sure I can't think,' replied Fanny,
4 and do look ; if he arn't locking up the
carriage house ! Laws, Drusy ! I thought
of going in and trying to find out what it
can be.'
So did I,' responded Drusy, but it's
no use now. He's got some odd idea in
his head, and I suppose he'll keep it there.'
Tiddy Colbones manifested no little
astonishment when Drusy and Fanny told
her what they had seen, and what they had
heard, and for the moment seemed a little
uneasy.
'Perhaps it's empty, and he's only taken
the notion to carry the box with him be
cause it looks sort of business-like,' she
suggested.
'Pin sure it isn't empty !' exclaimed
Drusy, 'for he lifted it as if it was a heft.
Dear me what can it be
'Did you bring anything from town,
Japhet 3' asked Tiddy that evening at
supper.
He looked up, as if astonished at the
question.
'To be sure I did; I brought myself,' he
answered.
'Oh!' and his wife made no other reply;
only Drusy and Fanny exchanged glances
with her.
That night, by previous arrangement,
Drusy and Fanny were to occupy a cham
ber adjoining Tiddy's sleeping room. A
small window or moveable frame opened
from one chamber to the other, and under
that Tiddy had affixed a string in such a
way that a slight pull upon it would awa
ken her, if her slumbers were ever so deep.
For a long while the redoubtable spinster

kept awake, her fears excited at the slight
est sound ; but finally drowsiness over
came her, and her eyes obstinately refused
to keep open.
For some hours she slept heavily: but at
the accustomed time awoke, as had become
a usual habit with her.
There were the sounds again ; the going
down stairs, lifting the latch, the fumbling
and stepping about. Drusy pulied the
string. In a few moments Tiddy's night
capped head appeared at the door.
6 It is Japhet, as I suspected,' she said,
whispering. 6 He's not in my room.—
Come ; we won't light a lamp, but go softly
down stairs. You foolish thing, to tremble
so ! its only one of his freaks, and harm
less, I suppose, at that. Come ; are you
ready ?' Where is that man'? oh! dear ! where
