JOSIAH_ BAKER'S TURKEYS, :AND HIS
; •- • SWEETHEART.
•
'Have you ever peen - at Windser; Vermont 111 so,
you have heard of Josiah - Baker. Indeed, you have
heard of him, even though you have not been tit the
state of Vermont; for be is well known in. Boston as
the greatest dealer in poultry in New &Wend.
About thanksgiving time you may Pekin all parts of
Boston Josiah Beker's wagons,. literally crammed'
with turkeys. geese, chickens; and slacks, together
with pumpkins, squashes, and all manner of thanks.:•.,
giving sauce. It was thought 'ity some, if Josiah
.should be without nn heir to inherit his virtues, and
perpetuate the stack of poultry, that thanksgiving
would have to be abolished, altogether in that region ;
for. as to being thankful upon an empty stomach, it
could not in the nature of things, be expected. In fact,
they tried it on ode occasion. Josiah did'nt die, to
bo sure, but %was! just as bad lot the time beiiag, as
yen shall see. • .
contrary to all usage, and probably for the sake of
doing something Wherewith to distinguish himself,
.the goirernor appointed thanksgiving on the same day .
Which had been sr apart fur that .purpose in Ver.
wont. Now,. no real yankee will ever absent him
self from his kindred on thanksgiving day, not even
for gain; and Josiah, hough a bachelor, was in the
habit of having all his relations to make merry with
him on thatoccasion; and you know the habits of an
old bachelor are net easily broken in upon. Betiles,
his worthy sister Hester would have felt herself scan.
dalised indeed, if he were denied the privilege of bust
ling,and scolding, and storming about as usual, in
the hurry . of preparation for this jayous festival Not
that she Was ill-natured or given to Scolding under
ordinary circumstances—far from it; tiut there is a
time for - everything. Josiah's 'numerous relatives
(and you've no idea, unless you've been there, how
numerous one's relations are in that part of the Coun
try.) who were always expected to partake of the
luxuries of his Cam yard, but once a year. Miss Hes
ter's puddings, pies, tarts, dec., would have felt any
thing but,thankful if Josiah had gone to Boston, in
stead of keeping thanksgiving at home. But he hail
no idea ()fetich tithing.
He couTd as well afford to keep his turkeys as the
Boston folks could de without 'ern ; and' , he'd teach
governor Lincoln i to appoint the same day os the go
vernor of Vermont'
So Josiah keiit thanksgiving as in times past, at
home, though hisheart was not as light as usual, fur
he pitied the Boston folks, and he could'at help say
ing now and then, as he cut a slice of turkey, Go
vernor Lincoln ought to have known better'
But though there was this drawback upon his hap
piness, it was trilling compared with the consterna
tion of the Boston people. His old customers, who
had for fifteen or; twenty years relied iapon him for
supplies and never once been disappointed, could not
believe he would fail to appear now, and even on the
day preceding thanksgiving refused to purchase of
others under the full conviction that he would come,
though it was at the eleventh hour. But alas! he
came not; and fer the first time in their lives, and I
hope for the list many of the good citizens Were
obliged to foigaVeliiittry of a roost turkey, and dine_ .
on roast beef; and instead of being thankful, they did
nothing but eat, and drink, and grumble. ' But there
is no calamity. however great, frou. which good may
not be extracted.
The unhappy event led the good people to reflect
upon what might be the consequence if Josiah should
be removed by death, having no issue to keep up the
stock of turkeys, and as life is uncertain, even in
Vermont, they set about devising means to'divert so
serious an eel ,Accordingly, Josiah began to receive
letters adming him to many ; disinterestedly pointing
out to him 'the cheerlessness of his present mode of
life; and hintingalso that if he should dieohildLess,
thanksgiving would be entirely broken up. now,
the subject of matrimony had never entered Joiiah's
head. His maiden sister s zttended to his hogsehold—'•
darned his stockings for Son Jay—washed his neck
and ears for hica!of 'a. Saturday night—and cOmbe.l
his head in mere Ways than one. In short, be did'ni
sea what more a young woman could do. However,
the subject got into hit mind, and it was not 'easy in
get out again. It was constantly before biog. Be
could% even sleep in , meeting, but was coestantly
looking about, arid Observing how :nice and chirk she
young women leaked. 'Finally he concluded to, open
his mind to his sister, and ask her advice.
After weighing the matter thoroughly, and mourn
ing over the prospect of laying down the sceptre, she
advised him (walla magnanimity which none but a
sister could exhibit) to comply' with the suggestions
of his friends, and marry ; stating that she was willing
to resign her , authority to another for the sake ofpro
moting his happiness, but in order to securikthelat
ter, she must make . the match herself, at least solar
as to point out . * proper person to court. This was
great relief to him, but _he would have been better
pleased if she coolik+ have settled the whole matter.
For he had a great horror of - encountering one of the
sex face to face, having never been in company with •
any but, his relatipas.; However, his sister, who was
in the habit of eiawnpiui in the 'intermission with all
the women' Siete:tine to meeting, soon made choicer
of a wife fortes brother, in the person of Sally. Jepson.
who lived but a couple of miles from his farm.' She
was (as she told Josiah) of
.a rugged makepthick set,
wholesome looking. and as smai tas a steel traio, -So,
it was agreed upon that on Sunday night-Josiah
should commences biacourtship. Accordingly, after

After the confusion_arising from this sudden move.
went had subsided; the dame asked, - ,4 HO is Miss

After
After an. interval of a few minutes the claim
,broke
out again—.-4 I think deacon Spring's wifelmust be
poorly. I see she sat:itloWn in'the last Prilyer, and
did'nt get, up to the blessin'.' . - . .
• Well; nosy, I• did'numind that,' said Alelabe
i
' , ..Why, where was your eyes,•lltr. flakes
'Josiah made no reply; for the'fact was, is 'eyes
were fixed upon the corner peW. on the li ht hand
side, where sat Sally Jepson. .
• , $ Our little 'man was unusual solemn, to-ay., I
thought the self.riihteous was pretty well cut nit:
The shoe , fined a good_many oft em' ; •r •
Josiah replied, . Yes.' The-truth was, he would
have given the world to change the subject, if he bad
known what to Say, for his thoughts had been with
his eyes, upon Sally, and he lad not heard a wad
of the sermon.
Even the singers seemed uncommon balked up;
said the "ay* u I never heard 'em sing loudei
But I do wish they'd give up the now collection, and
stick to !Year and Bray. so that a body could jiue in
with 'ern. 'Twould much more etlifyin.' 4nd then
they've got to °pecan' their mouths so wide. that
none of the sound goes throUgh the nose at all, and
seems tO - I..se all the solemness as 'twere.'
Did'nt you think. Mr. Baker. that the little man
was 11000:131113012 lifted in prayer I' said the dame.
Fortunately for Josiah. this was it leading question,
and that blessed Monosyllable came to his relief. Just
at that moment the clock behind the door began to
to strike nine, and before it was done, the squire and
his wife had taken the Candle and gone'to bed, cau
tioning Sally notto forget to cam up the embers af
ter Mr. Baker was gone.
''Vow, though the sudden departure of the old folks
had relieved Josiah from one dilemma, it left him in
a worse one ; for he was alone with Sally, without a
single idea in his head, and Lis tongue cleaving to
the roof of his Mouth, which was as dry as a powder
horn.
u I believe iny horse is , a little uneasy," said he,
after a silence of several minutes , and he jumped
up and, went out to-the fence, and walked rountt a
little, took another drink fmm tie well, and then
rushed into the house, determined to make a bold
push and broach the subject et once. So he drew
his chair near Sally, and addressed her: •
's Miss Sally—darnation !'
What d'ye say, Mr. Baker
Darnation !' • •
Oh ! I thought you spoke to me.' Sally picked
the tongs up and laid the brands together
What d'you think of getting married, Miss
Sally!'
• Did you speak to me, Mr. Baker
!Certainly I did—there's nobody else to speak to,
as I sec,' said Josiah, looking round the room.
Sally now began to color up, her throat swelled,
and reminded Josiah of one of his turkeys, and thus
furnished him with a topic oreonversatiori.
Miss Salkt, do you love turkey I
So do said Josiah. -
t 's Which •do you like deaf'' on it, apple sauce or
cranberry
• Cranberry,'
o So' do'l,' Said Which do you think is
the sweetest, Sally; honey or Maple sugar
• Honey.'
