Yankee Courtship.
i Yankee courtship, in the country, is a
“peculiar institution,” and the parties at
■first sight are as shy as rabbits, Sally'gen
erally si's in the chimney corner, beside
the “dye-pot, knitting stockings, and Jona
than sits io the opposite corner eating ap
ples, snapping a seed occasionally at his
•sweetheart, and looking at Ihe picture in
the fire. Thus they will sit and soy “noth
ing hardly” until late in the evening, and
Jonathan thinks it time to go home, when
he will put on his hat, and depart with some
such remark as this: “Well, Sat, I guess
Ikl-beiler be_,gitling’along. It’s hog-killin’
to morrow, and I’ve got to be up right smart
airly.”’
“Good night, Jonathan, call again,” is the
. response of Sally ; and she puts up' her
‘knitting-work and goes (o bed.
" ■ ‘Hit,’ says Joshua.(her name is Mehitahle,
able but we call her Hit, for shortness,) after
‘•silling up” wilh her till near midnight,
.without saying a word., “fdon’t know much
about courting, but ef you’ll just step behind
Ihe door I’ll tell you sutbin’: and Hit sleped.
Riding out, one day, in the old chaise,
with Sally by his side, Jonathan, afler going
nboul threte miles without speaking, ventured
a side glance; and observing that Sally,
overcome by ihe hear, was “apparently”
asleep, he became venturesome. Her head
genlly reclined on one side, and her pouting
red lips were just parted sufficient show a
glimpse of the pearly gates within. Jona
than’s heart went pit-pat. The temptation
was 100 great. Sally would never know
nn> thing about it ; so, leaning toward her,
he stole from those beautiful portals some of
their netjtar. Sally was not “ftumuxed” a
bn and Jonathan Ventured again and again,
uotill she aw’oke, when stretching her arms,
and giving a yawn, she broke the silence
with: “Jonathan, what aire you a doing’
on ?”
“Nothing, hardly,” responded Jonathon.
“1 know jou aintf neow, for 1 can feel it
jest as plain as day.” \
“Wall, ef you don't like it,” says Jona
than, “1 guess 1 won’t lech you again.’,
’’Wall, neow,” replied Sally, “1 diden’t
speak as to that ; I was only thinking how
sly you was abeoul it, that’s all.”
It is supposed there was a mutual adjust
ment of difficulties “all reound.” There is an
amount of gallantry about Jonathan occa
sionally, that challenges admiration ; while,
at the same time, there is an “amazing sight”
of “calculation” mixed up in the mailer.
Once upon a time, he was crossing a toll
budge in company with his gal. When he
came to the toll-house he pulled out a cent
and paid his own 1011, at the same lime haying,
“dally, I guess you’d belter pay for yourself,
for I don’t know’s I shall have you yet.”
Careful and considerate;, but we suspect he
made a prudent, saving husband, and Sally
did not think anything the worse of him for
his economy either. On another occasion,
he visited Boston in company with his in
tended, fqr the purpose of seeing the 4lh of
July cele|ration. He was mighty pleased
with everything he saw, especially (he “so
gers.” He expressed himself satisfied with
the Common, but though it was a pity to let
go much good land lie idle; calculating how
many cords of wood the “big trey’ would
make, and expatiated upon the propriety of
“dreening” the frog pound.
At length the apples of hunger
his thoughts down to the subject of food ;
and approaching one of the numerous stands
for refreshment, which are always found
around the Common on the Fourth of July,
he took a survey of its contents, consisting
of lemonade, mead, egg-nog spruce-beer, ap
ples, eocoanuts, dough-nuts, buns candies,
'gingetbread, &c., of which latter articles 1 ha
purchased a three cent hunk, and immediate
ly commenced demonstrations upon it. After
taking a mouthful or two, he turned to his
sweetheart and exclaimed : “Sally, that is
amazin’ good ! Why don’t you buy a piece
for yourself?”
“I guess I got some to hum betler’n that.
I don’t like to eat such stuff’tlhout 1 know
whose hands have bin in it.”
•’Wall, you can make proper nice cake,
Sally, when you set about it—and sech sweet
cake, loo—almost as sweet as somebody I
know.” .
“Neow you get eoht.”
“Shanl dew it,” 1
Ah, what is so charming as rustic simplici

Peculiarities op North Carolina.—
Traveling on the cars not long sihce in the
“old North State,” in the night, we happened
by good fortune to get into the same box with
a regular blue devil exterminator, by whom
let it be supposed, our drowsy optics were
kept expanded. This individual answered
lo the name of “Batand his description
of “Norf Kerlina,” her manners and cus
toms, gave the listener anything but a fa
vorable impression of the tar and turpentine
state, thus:
“Why, gentlemen, a dog with a long lail
in North Carolina would be as great a show
as a nigger with three heads.”
“Why so,” asked several.
“They cut ’em off to prevent them knock
ing off the huckleberries when they are chas
ing foxes and rabbits that run through the
woods.”
“Phew !” came from a listener.
“Fact, certain as rain ; and you never see
a man or boy there with buttons on his
pants.”
“What then?" asked one.
“Pegs,” replied our ever imperturbable
Bat. “Wear buttons all off climbing after
persimmons.”
“Go it, Bat,” cheered an acquaintance.
“And I’ll tell you another thing,” he con
tinued ; “they have to bell the little niggers
there just as we do calves.”
“What for?"
“So their owners can tell which gopher
hole they’re in.”
A general scream followed this—the engine
squealed, and we all jumped off at M .

Charles O. Eta; of Tioga
Village would respccliully cal) the attention of the
public to the foDowingadverlisement. “Man wan*s
but little here below nor wants that little long”-is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extents
But it seems to me that in this lime of general
suspension and panic, everything is tending to a
reversion of time-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a lillle more still. The farmers (ancf they
really ought to have as much as anybody, for they
are to our country what a main spring is to a watch,)
wants a little more for their wheat, buckwheat, rye,
corn, outs, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a
little more for his Flour, Pork, Salt, Dry-Goods,
Boots &. Shoes, Hals & Caps, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand little things he has to sell than
the farmer thinks he ought to pay.
At this present time it seems to be conceded by
all that the cash value of good wheat is $1 per
bushel; buckwheat, 2 to 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4—6;
oats, 2 to 2-6; butter, 14 to 1G cents.- Now to
equalize the matter and make it satisfactory on both
aides, I want and will agree to take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 10 shillings per bush
el according to quality; buckwheat at 2-6 to 3;
eorn 5 to 5-G: oats 2-9 to 3 shillings; butter 16 to
19 cents.
