happened that the squire bad lent his visitor a

bad gone out but a moment before, and there

into the parlor. Poor Kitty sprang to her

as he was, could not release her until he knew
whether site was hurt. It was certain she
was not faint, foi . the crimson blood dyed
the tips of her fingers, and Harry's face im
mediately took the same hue, probably from

protect their peculiarities by an exclusive oc
cupancy of the broad borders, of the water
courses, and the certain prospect of an exhaust
less fertility in their farms ' when once well
made upitud afterwards well husbanded.
All this sorted well with everything else in
their plans of life and labor. Let us . note a
few of the things for which they are well
distinguished: They aro kinder to and more
careful of their horses, milk-cattle, and young
stock, than any other people. They never
overtask a beast of draught or burden. They
never expose their stock to the inclemency of
the seasons. The bank-barn overshot is a
roof s and the building a covert from the wind,
for all that are not housed. Nobody ever saw
a Dunker hurrying his horse on the road, beat
ing him in the field, or quarreling with him
anywhere, or for any reason. Ile is never in
a hurry himself, and therefore never in a pas
sion. There is no animal so mesmerically
susceptible as a horse., If his master is a fool
or tyratit, or it he is patient and reasonable,
his horse is,
in temper and conduct, another of
the same. The peace of the Dunker's house-
hold is reflected in the order and quiet of his
barn-yard..
Thu Germans of Pennsylvania, generally, and
this mostcareful and orderly class of them par
ticularly, aro distinguished abo'Ve every other
people for that providence of domestic economy
which secures the greatest variety and excel
lence of food; they cure and preserve their meats
and make the greatest variety of appetizing
and. wholesome forms of them; and they make
the fruits of the summer and autumn last till the
returning year furnishes again a fresh supply,
to be again preserved; their Sclinits alone, that
is, their dried apples and peaches, prepared by
the household at their leisure, with their apple
and peach butter, their pickles and preserves,
furnish forth their winter table in a style of
excellence and abundance unknown to the
peasantry of any other region. , The wealth
and luxury of the Atlantic cities does not in
substance and quality transcend the desserts of
the commonest Dutch farmer of Middle Penn
sylvania. Their Scotch-Irish neighbors have
long since caught this culinary craft from them,
and, It may be, they have something improved
the style of it, but all the merit of invention is
theirs.
Among these good-living farmers I never
saw an extra added to the ordinary fare for
casual guests. Their every-day table is a
good, enough feast ; its substantbils and dainties
are the average excellence °fillet, and they are
too well balanced in their apprehension of this
great interest of civilized life to live in com
mon below the mark, and too free from pre
greedy gaze upon the foppery of parade enter
tainments. .They have just as good as the
best every day, and they neither under or
overvalue any dish set before them. Their
bread, butter, and milk are delicious, the
plain pastry is well made, and nicely served;
and the heavier dishes of meats and vegetables
are so abundant at every meal that they never
approtieh.the limits of the provision. I speak
now of every family among them—from those
who have eight or ten annual instalments of
the purchase money yet to pay for their
farms, equally and evenly up to those who
have the hard dollars laid away in the chest to
purchase the next
,good tract in the vicinity
that may come into the market—for degrees
of independence and wealth make no differ
ence whatever in their manner and expense
of living. No man, woman, or child
among them fares more or less sump
tuously, or dresses more or less richly,
than any other. The policy of their domes
tic economy is good enough for the best and
within the means of the poorest. The myste
ry of this fact is explained by the very suffi
cient reason that the current supply is the pro
duct of the household industry. They buy
nothing from one end of their bill of fare to
the other, except tea, coffee, chocolate, and
condiments. And these are not difficult to
that systematic economy which buys nothing
at all which the family within themselves can
produce. I don't believe that there is a grand
mother in the whole connection who ever saw
a milliner's bill, with or without a receipt to
it, or ran up ono in the store; nor did she
ever see one of those little printed commen
taries upon the credit system called a writ of
ex e, cation I
These people have settled the protective
tariff question for themselves by laying en
embargo plump upon all foreign importations
which they can either fabricate for them
selves or dispense with. The great puzzle of
the currency they evade by paying as they go,
and having , more than they owe. They are
not abreast of the business enterprise of the
age; for they have an obstinate notion that a
man ought not to sell anything but the sur
plus of his own production, nor buy anything
which he can make for himself; and they
stick to It thiough thick and thin. They seem
to think that the mere trader puts the producer
and consumer too far apart, and pinches some
thing out of the legitimate price in the hands
of the one, and puts something upon it before
it roaches the other. They are not witty,
theca "stupid Dutchmen? --tor I heard ono of
them, and he was no fool among Omni either,
say that he thought the tapeworm, with which
one of hie emaciated children was afflicted,
was a sort of huckster, that ate up the most of
the little fellow's victuals, and prevented the
good of them from reaching his ribs!
What a theory of foreign commerce that
idea would afford I Oh, that man would never
think of sending his wool three thousand
miles to mill, and then bring it hack three
thousand more, for the sake of getting it at
half the money price, and four times the labor
coat, upon his back t Why, he will not buy a
yard of muslin from the merchant for sixpence,
thengh it will wear as 'long and as well as a
yard of linen of domestic manufacture which
might cost three sixpences if it must be
bought. '
Very difil in arithmetic that, of course, but
perhaps figures do lio, notwithstanding the
proverb; for In real economy and thrift he
makes his fortune by the policy. That is the
.fact of his experience, and if he is not up to
the abstractions of the question, he very
happily escapes its distractions.
. The doctrine of the system may have some
faults and defects in its application to the
gOernteent of a family; but how would it
work for a nation, capable, as hilly capable, of
industrial as apolitical; independence Might
not a whole people be thus put as safe from
commercial fluctuations as our single Dutch
man is from bankruptcy ? And is there any
thing in the plan to prevent the due develop
ment of a community?
We aro either able to make our own rail
roads as fast as we need them; or we are not ;
and yet, if we do it, being unable, we must
either swindle the creditors, or burden pos
terity with a debt as heavy and mischievous as
original sin itself. '
Oh! Christian Becker, if he were consulted
would say, cc I will buy that tract of land,
pay a thousand dollars down, and two
hundred a-year, for ten years, without
interest, because I have the hard money, and
I can make the gales out of the crops; and it
anything were to happen to me, then my boys
could pay what is behind, as for the land will
pay it sure." But , c Christian" is not a pro
gressive, poor old man, and all the excuse ho
has, is that he don't want to be a gambler in
either dice, bonds, or stocks I A sentiment, a
mere sentinsent,to be sure, which ho thinks is
a religious obligation; buethere is no danger
of its giving way, however flimsy it may seem,
for'it is backed op by a bulwark of Dutch re
solution to pay all his debts up to time, and
-barricaded, , besides, by an invincible deter
mination that ho will not be a bankrupt. And
there we must leave him, as a politician, for he
twill not be galvanized, into any sort of specu
lationllts. lie - Understands himself to be key

Christian Beckerwaa a falr representative of
his people In those days, and a good notion of
him will, help•to a right apprehension of them.
The doctor—we must use him, for no' other
outsider could get so well into our subject—the
doctor was called ono day to visit John, —,

the simple intention of committing suicide.

the razor, sweepingly, from ear to ear, yet he
NW,' because it requires more anatomical
skill than mostpeople have to perform this
operation yell. , When the doctor first saw his
patient he was more' surpriSed to find that John
was a Dunker than by any other circumstance
of the case. There was a gash full six inches
longlind clear through into the throat, expos
ing the top of the windpipe behind, and the
root of the dissevered tongue in front; and
there was tlao flowing beard, streaked with gray
and clogged with blood, and the patient so sadly
aleak in the neck that lie oeuld not swallow a
drop otwater to quench his parching thirst. To
work he,jvent, with scissors and razor, to clear
the margins of the wound, and then with four
of five stitches nudes many, strips of adhesive
plaster, firmly restored the edges to their natu
ral position, or as he phrased the treatment in
answer to a neighbor woman in attendance—
who asked him,
in some alarm, when he called
for a hot smoothing-iron to warm a plaster by,
what lie wanted with it--" Why, madam, it is
an axiom in surgety,lhat a solution of contina I
ly requires the closest possible upprOXimation
• of the severed surfaies, tbat the wound, if pus
sible,may heal by the first intention." As
she spoke nothing 'but bad German, and un
derstood nothing of English but its very worst
dialect, she was, of course, satisfied with the
explanation, and obeyed the order promptly.
That group "Or horror and terror-struck
gazers would not have been a picture without
the contrasted free-and-easy bearing of the
doctor. A judge nicely,critleisleg the autho

it was one of the most dextrous tricks of his
art that day, although the man recovered
speedily and perfectly, to the surprise of
everybody.
Some time aflor, when John's convalescence
was assured, and the doctor had taken his leave
of the case, on his way to visit another patient,
Vottom of a long hill he saw Christian
a. coming down, walkingslowly and lead
! •' horse. When the old gentleman recog.
nised the doctor, he turned aside, and sat down
upon a log at a little distance from the carriage
way; but not until ho had put his horse on the
other side of the log, that their two horses, so
separated, might not disturb the conversation
which lie was arranging for. When the doctor
reached the spot opposite the old gentleman's
seat, he was invited to stop. "Doctor," said
lie, "You shall get off now," in a voice so
gentle, and with a manner so courteous, tliat
Chesterfieldian English could not have made a
request half so polite or persuasive.
The doctor dismounted, and with decorous
and respectful gravity took his seat beside the
old man and waited, as a youngster ought to
do, till he was spoken to. The conversation,
after an impressive interval, began in this
fashion :
Mr. Becker.--ac Toctor, for wat Chon— cut
his treat?"
• The doctor was hurried a little by the ques
tion. The good old man was certainly not
inquiring for what, in his own professional
jargon, he would call the occasional cause—
that Mr. Becker knew, as well as ho did, was
the unlucky purchase of a horse at an enormous
price, that turned out to be worth the price of
his shoes and hide less the expense of killing
him ; which tho'old huncks was determined he
wouldn't stand, and resorted to suicide to throw
off tho melancholy of the dreadful loss. No,
it must be the psychological cause which
the old gentleman was in search of. 'That was
a puzzle to the. indocont old man, indeed, and
in his simplicity, he hoped for, some •light
from the doctor, whom he took to be lc a very
smart man." Thisapprehension bothered the
young rogue not a little. In his own mind he
was not a whit surprised at the ddeffof despe
ration. In his English rocklessnesa of imagina
tion ho could find a good many good reasons,
both private and public, for as many suicides
as would make the coroner's 'office a better
one than the sheriff's in almostriffirtleighbor
hood that he bad ever known. Brit he must
not shock the old gentleman with 'any such
frightful philosophy as this. To his inno
cency, cold-blooded critleism of crime Was
no better than the crime itself. Ile was
too good to look upon such a sin With tile
least degreo of allowance. Tho horror he
felt at it wasnot a whit behind the condemna
tion his judgment awarded to, the deed, and
he felt as,lf some contagion of the abomniable
thing had invaded his own life, A man and a
neighbor had done this; he also was a man,
and "nothing human could be foreign to hire."
So, nothing was left to the doctor but to dodge
under a high-sounding paragraph of his unin
telligible English, and then turn respectfully,
and ask Mr. Becker to tell him, in turn, what
the thought about it. Thus appealed to, and
incapable of any sort of evasion, the old gen
tleman replied:
"I go to Chon when ho get better, and I
take him by himself; den I holdup my; hand to
him, wery solemn, (imitating the manner of
administering an affirmation in court,) and I
say to him, noW, Chon, you shall tell me wat
make you cut your troat. But, you know, he
is Bich a obstinate feller, and ho chest put down
his eyes on to ground, and say noting. Don I
ask him, if it was borne in on his mind he must
do it, and ho shook his head. Den I ask him
if he seen anyding—a spook, or what you call
a spirit, that make him do it. Be shako his
head more. Den, when I wait u while; I ask
him right plain, if the defel Mike him do it,
and he said, Nol And don, I not know what
to tink." •
Very simple all this, to be sure; but if we are
not greatly misinformed, Adam and Eve, by the
philosophy of paradise, reasoned theinselves
to the same conclusion, and the !highest
authority confirmed the doctrine of diabolical
instigation to crime, by sentencing the devil
as the prime mover and immediate agent in
the mischief.
Ah mel We have disenchanted the earth,
utterly. The angels were banished some time
before the demons were turned out of our
philosophy; and wo do very well without
any other hell, having construed this earth into
an independent and sufficient one. Our faiths
and unfaiths are the reflectors of our con
sciousness, I suppose; and if any wise man ob
jects that a belief in the good and evil Spiritual
agencies of the old-fashioned Bible times
would make us no better, I do not take the re
ply for an answer, for the point is this—we
must be better before wo believe them. Ba
con, grubbing among second causes for the
laws of all phenomena, got up a very service
ble philosophy of materialism; but Luther,
bravely hurling his ink-stand at the, devil's
head, was inneh.nearer the mysteriesef rational
and moral agency.
The Doctor got this much out of the broken
English of his reverend interlocutor ; and he
had something else to learn from' him,: not so
questionable by any standard of opinion.
Turning the subject, he said, "But Mr.
Becker, how is this? I never heard of a Dun
ker doing such a bad thing before."
Mr. Becker—shaking his head sadly—" Oh !
lie is not ono of our people."
Doctor—surprised—“ Not ono of your people
why, Brubaker, and Straus, and John Miller,
his near neighbors, who have known hint all
his life, say he is, and he wears the beard I"
Mr. Becker—gently and sadly—" No, he is
not a brother for more as twenty years. He
la a very bad man. He pull up de young or
chard for one of tie brothers, in de night, and
lie brake our cattle's legs, and destroy our
fences, and. do many bad tangs."
Doctor.—c< Did you never turn him out of
meeting ?"
Mr. Becker.—“Oh, no, that wouht hurt his
family.
Angels and ministers of grace defend us,
said the Doctor to himself. Hero is a !people
willing to hear the reproach of this wretch's
malicious mischief for a quarter of a century,
rather than purge their own reputation by an
act of self-defence which might fall upon bis
innocent dependents. Why, these simple
Hunkers have found the very essence of tali.
glens charity by avoiding the harsh require
ments of a religious ambition.
The conversation closed with a request from
the old man that the Doctor wonld send his
bill against John to him; for said be,l"lf he
lose more money by dat horse, maybe, he
cut his treat another time worse, and den be
is lost." "Why, Mr. Becker," replied the
Doctor, "John's farm is one of the best in the
county, and he is rich."
Mr. Becker.—“ But he is so hungry for
money that ho thinks he is poor, and denim is."
These people must speak for themselves
once more and on another point, a point of
practical morality.
At a synod or convention—tor they pave no
general ecclesiastical organization—attended
by members from tho eastern and western
counties of the State, and by,a few front Ohio
and the valley of irginia I asked one of
their leading preachers what he thought they
ought to do in the matter of the temtlerance
movement, at that time rising rapidly into
public consideration. He replied thathq would
consult the brethren, and give me their an
swer the next day.
That answer was to this effect : 4, 04 peo
ple use liquor in their houses, but they never
abuse it. On their own account they do not
reed the reform, and they have very tittle in
tercourse with other people—none at , all that.
leads Omit to drink With , them.. But they
raise grain to sell, and wo think that hls,wrong
to make grain, that is good for food for man or
beast, into liquor which does people so: much
harm. Wheat, rye, and corn are given for
other uses and; bettor ones ; 'but our people
live mostly far from market, and {when they
have gales to pay, (instalments on their l lands,
they never had any other kind of debts,) then
we think that they may sell their apples and
peaches to distillers, for they cannot; make,
money out of them any other way, and, you
know, they ought to pay their just debts,"
There are some points in this decision worthy
of notice on their own account, as vial as for
the illustration which they afford of the charac
ter of these people.
They habitually and generally use distilled
spirits in their families, as a part of their
dietetic system, but never for festive purposes,
or as a hospitPlity to their guests ovvisiters. I
have often seen their children under five'. years
of age take the piece of broad soaked in whis
key, and served around the circle befcre break
fast, as freely as the oldest of the toropany.
The adults claim no Mdtagences for themselves
which they deny to the juniors of thefamily ;
nor do their masenlines claim the prtrcigative
of doing up all the hard drinking of the L race;
their women and girls have the sane ;rights
and privileges of relish. All of which simply
means that, whatever is good for a Thinker, is
t -
safe for women and children.
They do not feel bound to surrender the safe
and well-regulated use of stimulating drinks oft
the ground of public or social example, be
cause their practice in nowise contriltutes to
the,prevailing abuse; and there Is nothing in
any of these allegations of theirs which Is im
peached by any tact in their history.
The good gills of the Creator they hvould
not divert from the best uses of wliich they
are capable, nor by'anY act df theirs contrib
ute to any misapplicatiod'of them ; thut in the
reformation of social evils they guide and
limit their action by a careful reference, to their
obligations tti' others' *hich , are ;clearly un
questionable. They must pay their debts, and
they, must not disable themselves for thelpunc
teal discharge of this duty, under any benevo
lent in:vitae whose suggestions are open to a
doubt, or may not be a duty strong etought to
overbalance an unquestionable one. I
They know that etitimlus, as well es.nutri
meat, has a proper plaeoltmong the supports
of life, and to prevent an abuse they Would not
war against the existence of the agent con
cerned.
Their orchard fruits, otherwise unprofitable to.
them, might, therefore, be converted into Otimu-

And it may very justly be said for them, that,

if they do not go more largely into the self
denying and sacrificial system of social regen
eration, they have nothing in their own con
duct to atone for, and are not clearly convinced
thattho current inventions of philanthropy are
great improvements upon the Divine scheme
of redemption.
Without either the arrogance or indifference
of exclusiveness, they concede the necessity
of extraordinary remedies for gross moral
disorders, hut they could not undertake the
public cure without risking their owls health
to little purpose in the service.
They have nothing of the spirit of props.
gandism, or of martyrdom either, but theyare
full of devotion, and are both prompt and per
sistent in duty.

which it affords; but if he knows nothing
more of the subject than this article supplies
he had better wait till he is better helped
to right conclusions. Indeed, it is duo to
