Absalom,Nippers was a Widower, and one of parlicularist men in the, wofld, when his wife was alivfe he used to dress as common as a held hand, and didn’t use to take pains with himself at all. Everylidy knows how he spruced up about six w«ks afier Mrs. Nip pers died, and how he went to church regu lar every Sunday, buLmeople did / not have much confidence in hioJcligion,iynd used to say ho went ms new suit of mourning, and to looKaTtho-gals. With such a characfenamong the wimmin, it ain’t to be supposdiljothat he stood any chance of gelling anotßSr Mrs. Nippers near Ko*WO 5 ■■«■■■ ■» iwJ-W life first wife as they said he was or not, one thing certain, he had to go abroad to find one to fill her place. Mr. Nippers was very lucky to find a gal Juki to his mind, that lived about ton miles from bis place. Nancy Parker was rich, though she wasn’t very young or handsome; she belonged to Mr. Nipper’s church, and suited his eye ex actly, so ho set to courtin’ her with all his might. Ten miles was a good long ride, and as he was an economical used to ride over lo -Mr. Parker’s plantation ■ every Sunday morning to go to church with tho family, lake dinner with ihcm, and ride back in the cool of the evening. A ride over a dusly road is apt to spoil a man’s dry goods and make him and his horso.very tired. However, Mr. Nippers didn’t mind the fatigue as much as his horse; but in a matter such as he had on hand it was important that ho should make as good an impression as possible, so he adopted a plan by which he could present himself be fore the object of bis affections in order, with his Sunday coal as clean, and his blooming ruffles as fresh and neat as if they had just come out of a bandbox. This was a happy expedient, and nobody but a widower lover would think of it. Ho used to start from home with his new coat and shirt tied up in a pocket handkerchief, and after riding within a quarter of a mile of Mr. Parker’s plantation he would turn off into a thicket of bushes itnd /here make his regular toilet. ' v One bright Sunday morning Mr. Nippers had arrived at his dressing ground. It was an important occasion. Everything was promising, and ho had made up his mind to pop the question that day. There was no doubt in his mind but he would return home an engaged man; and .ho was reckoning over lo himself the value of Miss Nancy’s plantation and negroes, while silling on his horse, makingms accustomed change of dress, lie had dropped tho reins on his horse’s neck, while it was browsing about making up last night’s scanty feed from the bushes in his reach; and kicking and stamp ing at such flies as wero feeding, on him in return. [ “ I’ll fix the business this time,” said Mr. Nippers to himself, “ I’ll bring things to o point this time,” and ho untied his nice clean clothes, and spread.them on his saddle bow. “Wo, Ball,” says he—“l’vo just got to say the word, ana—wo!” says he to'his horse, which was kicking and rearing about, ‘f Wo you old fool—and the business is set tled just .like falling off a 10g.”.. M He was drawidg his shirt over his head/ when Ball gave a sudden spring which was like to mqke him lose his balance.. - “ Wo,” says he, but before'he could get his arms out of bis sleeves, Ball was wheeling .and kick ing like wrath, at something that seeded to trouble him amazingly. Dowd wcdl the clean clothes, shirt and all on theground. “ VVo! blast your picture— wo,” says he, grabbing at the .reins. But before he. could get hold of hlrfi. Ball was off: like a streak of"iightniqg,‘. with a whole swarm of yellow jackets .around his tail, pinching him'iike,thunder. , , grabbed hold of the mane, and tried to stop. b)s, horse, but it,was no use.. „ Away he web( infuriated, and taking the TIOGA COUNTY, PA.., TIICTSCAY, MORKISR, JUJ.t 20, 1851. rpatf used ’to traveling, another mo inent Wm to the house. The gate was pppq, and,! indhshed the horse with the almost netted Nippers hanging to his heck .boflerin’ like blazes, “stop him! hornets!” as loud as he could scream. |■ . Out came the dogs, and aftpr the .horse thoywvcnt around, the house, scattering, the ducks and chickens, and terrifying the little niggers out.of their senses. The noise lining the wimmen out. ■ “ Don’t look, Miss Nancy I hornets! wo I ketch him I” shouted the uncladj Nippers, as with spent breath, he went dashing out of the gate with the dogjs still after him, and horse’s tail switching in every direction like a hurri cane. Miss Nancy got one glimpse of her forlorn lover, and before she got her apron to her eyes, she fainted, white his fast retreating voice crying “ hornets! stop him! hornets!" still rang in her ears. There was only one baby among the mem bers of the late excursion party up the Mis sissippi to the falls of St. Anthony. That baby was only six months old—a son of Henry Farnam, Esq,, the engineer of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad. When the baby was first brought on board the Golden Era, some of the company shrugged their shoulders and others said “ humph.” One crusty old bachelor muttered, “ we may look for squalls now,” a man with mustaches, who passed for a wit, sighed for the days of good King Herod. The baby meanwhile looked about and crowed a little, and then quietly entertained himself with sucking his fist. iorteman. Well, from the time we left Rock Island on Monday evening till we returned on thq following Saturday, not a cry or the suspi cion of a cry was uttered by the baby. He was indeed a charming little fellow, always bright ond placid, and ready to meet half way those who were disposed to be attentive. Of the sensation of fear he seemed to be ut terly ignorant. He would go to the arms of a rough old backwoodsman as readily as to those of the beautiful Miss W. or Miss J.; and remain contented away from his mother or nurse, till fearful that be was giving trouble, they would come in search of him. But in stead OT giving trouble; he seemed to be doing morq than anybody else for the general on pinch him to see if he coutd cry; and in one instance the experiment was tried without success. The features of the gruff old bache lor, who had looked so austerely at first on this infant phenomenon would now relax ns he came in sight, and he at last ventured upon the experiment of taking him in his arms, and found to his delight that (he baby maintained his good character even in his inexperienced embrace. ' The general satisfaction at the baby’s un paralleled behavioral length manifested itself in a substantial form. It was resolved to get up a testimonial. A subscription was put in circulation for a gold cup, to be presented ns a token of admiration and esteem of the pas sengers, who, when they reflected how much a crying baby might have detracted from, their enjoyment, liberally opened their purses, and subscribed the handsome sum of $260. A formal presentation of this offering was then made. Mr. Rockwell, late member of Congress from Connecticut, was deputed to address the baby. This he did in the pre sence of the assembled passengers, the baby meanwhile being held in his mother’s arms, and always jumping and chuckling at the right place in Mr. Rockwell’s speech. The speech, which was a capital one, and enunciated with due gravity and dignity was followed by a reply from Professor Twining, of New Haven, the baby’s medium on the occasion, and who spoke on the little fellow’s behalf in admirable stylo, now witty, and now beautiful, for upwards of fivo.minutes. Both speeches were enjoyed and applauded. Ex- President Fillmore was appointed to prepare an inscription for the gold cup—a task which be accomplished with his accustomed good taste; and Mr. Rockwell was appointed la, purchase the cup. Thus ended one of the pleasantest little epi sodes of the great excursion ; one that must be always remembered with pleasure by those who witnessed it, and especially by the pa rents of the child who so early in life won so solid a mark of the approbation of his seniors.

Grow* can Count Three and no A few months since we were tiding in a stage coach with several gentlemen, when the conversation turned upon the subject of crows, and many .interesting anecdotes were related. One gentleman said that he knew that crows could Count—at least as far as .three —for he had otjenj proved if. Being troubled with crows in tjie field, he had often attempted to shoot them. But they knew what a gun was as well as he did, and therefore kept out of his reach.' He then concluded to put up a small boot|i in the field, and .place some dead carrion—a dead horre, within gun shot. From this place he supposed he could fire at them when they flighted to eat. Whenever he entered the booth, the crows would all sit on the distant trees, and not one .of them would come near until he was gone. Then all would alight except the sentinel, who re mained to give warning if danger approached. The gentleman finding his plan to fail, thought he would deceive them. So he took his son with him to the booth, concluding when they had seen one go away, the prows would think the coast clear and descend to the bait. But when the son left the booth, e crow sung out caw, caw, caw, (there goes one,) but not a crow would leave his place. The next day the gentleman took (wo per sons with him to the booth, and let them de part one at a lime. The crows on the trees saw the first, and cried out “ there goes one,” in their own peculiar dialect, then when the other went they cried “ there goes two,” but they would not alight, for they had counted three when they entered. The day following, the gentleman look threrotbers with him. When they went out, one by one, the crows cried “ There goes one”—“ there gees three.” And when these men were out of sight they all alighted, and the gun of the fourth man did its Work. The gentleman stated that this thing had been tried repeatedly, and it was evident that crows could count as far as three, but there their arithmetic ended. When they will ascend to the higher branches of mathematics is yet to be ascertained. In the meantime others can bring on their incidents of crqw nology.

Inconsistencies. A Good Recipe. l PUfoISHfiR. Vanity of XIIc. The following from a late speech of Mr. Benton, is oMouchingexhibition of the vanity of political ambition r I have gone through a contest to which I have no heart, and into which I was forced by a combination against life and honor, and from which I gladly escape. What is at seat in Congress to me 7 I have sat thirty years in the highest branch of Congress, have jnade a name to which I can. add nothing, and I should only be anxious to, save -what! has been gained 7 I have domestic affections sorely lacerated m these latter times; s{ wife whom I have never neglected, and who needs my attention now more than ever; children, some separated from me by the expanse of oceans and continents, others by the slender bounds which' separate time from eternity. I touch the age which the psalmist assigns os the limit of manly life, and must be thought less indeed, if I do not think of something be yond the flitting and shadowy pursuits of this life, of all .of which 1 have seen the vanity. What is my occupation 7 Ask the underta ker, that, good Mr; Lynch, whose face, pre sent pn so many occasions, has become plea sant to me. He knows what occupies my thoughts and cares; gathering the bones of the dead—a mother, a sister, two sons, a grand child; planting the cypress over as sembled graves, and marking the sjiol where I, and those who are most dear to me are soon to be laid. A Lady who was ijuite in the habit of dropping in at her neighbors about meal time, in the hope of obtaining an invitation to par lake with the family, was recently completely nonplussed by the unhesitating frankness of a child. Knowing that a neighbor’s supper hour was five, she called in about four, and settled herself down for a long call. “ It takes two to make a bargain,” and the lady honored with the call hod no idea of giving an invitation, if it was in her power to escape it. Accordingly the hour of five bfought no indications of supper. Time wore on, the sun was neaV its setting, and still the same. A little girl, the daughter of the lady in question, began to grow quite uneasy. length, her mother having gone out for ajnjb meni, the visitor said, “ you must come over and see me, Mary, some time.” “ No, I won’t,” said the child. “ Why not I” <> Be cause I don’t like you.” “ But why don’t ..J'du like me ?” “ Because I’m hungry, and want some supper.” “ I don’t prevent you having your supper, do 17” “ Yes you do,” Said little “ Mother said she shouldn’t have supper (ill you were gone, if you staid till midnight.” In less than five minutes the visitor was marching out of the front door. “ Don’t carry on so,” said Mrs. Parting lon to Ike as she saw him resting his head on the ground In a'vain attempt to throw his heels into the air. There was solicitude in her (one and a corn broom in her hand as she looked at him. “ You must not act so gymnastically, dear,” dominoed she, “ you will force all the brains you have got into your head if you do. You can’t do like the circus riders, because eProvidenco has made them o’ purpose for what they do out of In gee rubber, and it don’t hurt ’em at all. They ain’t got bones like other people, and can turn heels over head with perfect impunity. “Don’tdo it!” screamed she, as the boy stood on one leg upon the woodhorse, and made a feint as if about to throw a sum merset, you’ll desecrate your neck by and by with your nonsense, and then you’ll regret it as long as you live, Ike desisted, as the dame smiled and held a circular piece of cop per before his gaze ; such persuasive potency had that smile over him, backed by the-xop per \—Post. A Guinea Pig.—A young man attempted to catch a guinea pig recently, but unfortu nately it happened to be a skunk. It met him with a discharge, more uncomfortable than dangerous, and drove him from the field. The stotiy is that the young man, who is a na tive of Erin, was a passenger in the Stage from down the river. This side of Plymouth they passed an animal with a number of young ones, which some of his fellow passen gers said were Guinea pigs sure, when he made a break rght in among the flock deter mined to bag a few. He left the field with eyesight impaired for a lime, and when we saw him was without hat or coat, Which we suppose had become the priz§ of the victors. The Proprietor of the Phoenix was gently intimating the impossibility of entertaining him (hat night, as his house was full of stran gers who might iavo a variety of tastes in the selection of perfumes, which the young hunter, took very good noituredly.

Here he saw. Petlifaona in pursuit of a fat'ewe, and too enthusiastic in the pursuit . tor observe thar there , was a spectator of thp chase. At length PeUibone overhauled the bleating emblem of innocence and with glittering, blade let out its life. 'At this juncture, the aforesaid spectator rode op and exclaimed: “ Ah! you infernal sheep-dealing rascal, I’ve caught you at last, have ‘I, right in the act of killing John Simpson’s sheep?’’ “Yes! shouted for ward his face and shaking his hijead defiantly at bis interlocutor, while he flourished. bis blade indignantly—“ yes I and I’ll kill any body's sheep that comes and tries to bite me!" • fjvrt m The defense was worth a sheep, 'and they only required “ Petty" to leave the neighbor hood, lest all the sheep became vicious. Hardly any two females kiss alike. There is as much variety in the manner of doing it, as the faces and manners of (he sex. Some delicate creatures merely give a slight brush of the lip. This is a sad aggravation. We seem to be about to “ have a good time,” but actually get nothing. Others go in to it like a hungry man to beefsteak, and seem to-chew up our countenances. This is disgusting and soon a delicate loveh Others struggle like hens when -burying themselves in the dry dirt. The kiss is won by grea(.ex ertions, and is not wqj-t(T - a8 much as -the trouble it cost. Now. we are in favor of•» certain shyness when a kiss is proposed, but it should not be continued too long; and; when the fair one “ gives it,” let her admin ister it with warmth and energy. Let (here be soul with it. If she close her eyes, and sigh deeply immediately after itj the' effect is greater.
