Viroist Frightening a Lover, OB THE STBOXQ-MINDEt) WOMAN. “You have heard me speak of Stephen J kins, Matilda.” “Yes, uncle.” “Well—another cup of tea if you pleas' be is coming here to-morrow on a week’s visi “You don’t mean so, uncle,” exclaimed I tiida. , “And why don’t I, Miss Matilda? Then nothing to summon such a look of constei tion to your face.” i “Because, if he shouldn't happen to agreeable—” “Of course ho is agreeable. At oil event is desirable for you to find him so, since lb your prospective husband.” “My prospective husband! What can mean, uncle ?” inquired Matilda, opening eyes in amazement. “I thought you understood it. Your estates join, and it is omincntly-proper, therefore, that you should unite them by marriage.” [ “A very good reason, certainly,” said Ma tilda, with a curl of her lip. “It makes little difference, I suppose, whether our dispositions are compatible or nop.” |j 1 “Oh, they will easily adjust themselves after marriage, and then the two will make such a handsome estate." f “Suppose I shouldn’t fancy him well enough to accept his proposals, uncle ?” asked Matil da, demurely. ■' ' .1 “If- you should dream of such a thing as fusal I should disinherit you. You are aware, I suppose, that all ydur property comes from me, and that I can, ap any time, recall it.’’) ■ “That would be ft pity, certainly,” snid'Ma tilda, in a lively strain, “for I should havq to take in washing, or something of that "kind j to support myself, and I have such an,appetite 1” Mr. Parker smiled in spite of himself, ! 1 and evidently looked upon his niece qs onejwho would readily yield to his expressed will, j j. “One question more, uncle. Suppose he shouldn’t happen to fancy your humble iiicce, and conclude to pay his addresses elsewhere.” “I would never speak to the puppy again.” “And you wouldn’t disinherit me then, uncle ?” “Of course not you gipsy. It wouldn’t be your fault.” ( “It would be very mortifying to have him reject me,” said Matilda, demurely. “Is there anything ho particularly dislikes in a woman, do you know?” j I 1 ’"’ “I once heard him say he couldn’t a literary woman”’ said her uncle, after some reflection. “All sorts of strong-minded women are his aversion. But then you know, Mattie, you are not strong-minded.” ! “Thank you,, uncle, very much. That'is as much as to say I am weak-minded,” '“No such thing, you gipsy.” But there’s one thing more I have to tell you, and that is, that I shall not bo here to entertain Mr. Jen kins. lam called away to New York by busi ness, which will detain me the length Of his stay. So you will have to entertain him your self. Mind and play your cards well, and I shall expect to find the marriage day fiset| when I return.” f “Oh, dear, what shall I ever do with tho horrid man for a whole week ?” j “I dare say you will be dead in love ; with him by tho time I got back. You may remem ber mo when he arrives, and tell him how much I regret not being here to welcome him.” “Yes, undo, I’ll remember.” | That night Matilda kept awake for some time, concocting a plan by which she might offend the prejudices of the expected jvisitor, and throw the burden of a refusal upon | him; for she well know, that if he once proposed, her uncle would be seriously angry if she re jected him, and very possibly would carry out the threat to which ha had given utterance. It was about twelve o’clock the nett day that a tall young man, of serious aspect, ascended Mr. Parker’s front steps and rang'lho bell. lie was ushered into the drawing [room, Where, after waiting about half an hour, he was joined by Matilda. The young lady was by no moans looking her best, ller hair was loosely arranged, her collar was awry, and there was a very percep tible stain of ink upon her fingers. Mr. Jenkins, I presume,” she remarked. The gentleman bowed and looked curiously at his entertainer. , . I “And I presume, I am addressing; Miss Parker.” Our heroine inclined her head in the affirma tive. i ! ' “I hope your respected uncle is well,’,’ said Stephen Jenkins, in the measured tones of a young man who was old beyond his years. “I wouldn’t marry suoh a stiff old poke for ‘the world/’ was the not over complimentary reflection of Matilda. “My uncle regrets very much not being able to meet you,” she said, in answer to his ques tion, “bnt he is oalled to New-York by busi ness. I trust, however, that I shall be 'able to entertain you.” ! , .. i. ■ # “That I do mot doubt,” said the visitor, with a slow attempt nt |ailantry. ’ [• . ■' * WELtSBORO. TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING. MAY % 1860. “l am inclined to think he will, before he goes," thought Matilda. Looking at her fingers she- remarked, com posedly, as if she, for the first time, observed the stain of ink,'“l hope yeti will excuse the appearance of my fingers, but 1 have been writing all the morning, and I couldn’t remove all traces of the ink.” *, “You were writing letters, I presume,” said Stephen. “Oh, no! not at all. I was writing an arti cle on ‘Woman’s Rights’ for the ‘Bugle of Fredom.'” Mr. Jenkins stared uneasily. “I suppose you are in the habit of seeing that paper,” said Matilda; “No,” said he stiffly. “Ah t you don’t know what you lose. Com posed and edited entirely by females. But, perhaps—” Matilda interrupted herself to ring the bell. “Jane,” said She to the servant, /.‘you may go up stairs and bring down a manuscript, which you will fihd on pay table.” “A what, ma’am ?” f “A manuscript —a sheet of paper with wri ting on it. Poor Jane,” she continued, after her servant had gone out, "she would not be so ignorant, if man had not denied to us wo men the advantages of education which he claims for himself.” ' sit.” Ma- Ily this time Jane had returned with the manuscript. “If you would like, Mr. Jenkins, I will read you what I have written.” Mr, Jenkins looked dismayed, but managed to Utter a feeble, “Oh, pertainly !” . Matilda, in a very emphatic manner, began to read as follows: ■e 18 •na- “Mrs. Editor :—Permit mo again to raise rhy voice, in trumpet tones, against the de spotic rule of man over our down trodden sex. Enlightened, ns wo are supposed to consider the present generation, is it not a disgrace, and a burning shame, that men should monop olize all the offices of honor and profit, and leave to his equal—shall I not say his superior in point of intellect—only a few undesirable and-laborious posts. What, I say, is the rea son that men should take upon themselves to govern, and expect us meekly to submit to the yoke which they seek to impose upon us ? Why should we not seo a female president in the chair of state, and —” , “This is all I had written, Mr. : Jenkins, when you came,” said Matilda, breaking oif from the reading. “You will easily understand the idea that I was about to develop ; and, I have no doubt, you will agree with mo.” ts it e is you ,her “Do you really tliipk, Mies Parker, that there should be no distinction in point of oc cupation between men and women ?” exclaimed the sedate Stephen, horror struck. “Why should there be ?” said Matilda with spirit. “Do you doubt whether woman has an intellect to that of man ?” “Is there a female Shakspeare ?" asked Mr. Jenkins. “Yes,” said Matilda, promptly. “Did you never read Sirs. Browning's poems?" “I can't say I have," returned Stephen. “Ah, then, I shall have the pleasure of mak ing you acquainted with her." . She rang the bell. “Jane." said she, "go up to my room and bring down the . book you will find on the table.” Jane did so. j “We have an hour before dinner, it seems,” said Matilda, looking at her watch—“ln what way can we better improve it than by perusing together this noble monument of genius 1” Mr. Jenkins looked terrified; but before he had time to raise any objections Matilda had commenced. She read aloud faithfully for the hour re ferred to, —it seemed three hours to the unhap py Stephen—who had not the slightest appro l hension of poetry of any description. 1 He was quite delighted when the dinner-bell rang, and so was Matilda in her secret heart. “I am afraid," said he, “we shall have to rest from our reading till after dinner, but by commencing immediately afterwards we may get a quarter through by tea time." “How may pages are there in the poem 1” the young man inquired, hesitatingly. “Only a little more than four hundred,” was the encouraging reply. The dinner proved to bo a not very social meal. Matilda confined herself entirely to lit erary subjects, and evaded all attempts to change the topic. “Good Gracious 1” thought the young man, “and this is the young girl I was to marry.— I’d as soon marry a dictionary, although she is prettyf, but then a strong-minded woman! I should' be talked to death in less than a month.” Stephen Jonking stopped two days; but,,at the end of that time, announced that he should not bo able to remain longer. During that tipne the poor man had heard more poetry than ever before in his life, and had conceived a deadly hatred against the whole tribe of fe male authoresses, particularly Mrs. Blrowning. “Where is Mr-Jenkins?” inquired'Mr. Par ker on his return. , “Gone, uncle,” said Matilda. “Gone ! When did he go I" • “He only stopped a couple of days “Why he was to have stopped a wee was the matter with him ?” “I tbinls, uncle, ho Was disappointc said Matilda, demurely, “Did ho leave iio message for mo?’' i “Ilere is a note, uncle." Mr. Parker hastily broke open the • missive, and read as follows: “My Dear Sir :—ln order to prevent mis understanding, I ought to say that I don’t think it will be well to adhere to the foolish compact, which Vas cntereji into some time since, in regard to my marriage with your niece.- Though a very charming young lady, I don’t think that our tastes are at all conge nial, and.l hereby remove any pretensions! may he supposed to have.had to her hand.— Regretting not to have had the;ploasure of see ing, you ; I remainj very respectfully, , '"“SfEPfIEN jESIvXXS.” ' ! “Why, the puppy has had. the audacity to AG IT AT O remove his pretohsion to yi claimed Uie indignant uncle. I “Then l ,(can’t Ibe married inquired Ma tilda, in comical disappointment. ‘‘Yes, yon shall marry the first man that offers." • - . ■ It was very remarkable that on the very next day Edward Manly should have asked Mr. Parker’s permission to address ’ his niece—a permission which was at once accorded. The marriage took place within a few weeks, and I don’t think he has ever repented marrying a strong-minded woman. The maintenance of military fidelity and dis cipline seemed to the late Emperor of Russia an object for which all humanities may well be sacrificed. la March, 1857, a woman named Maria NikiforoCona, the widow of a fdasant, received a letter from her son Novik, a soldier in the stationary battalion at Tambow. In this letter the son stated that the barbarous treat ment which ho and others received at the hands of regimental officers had driven him to the res olution of desertion from the service into which he had been forced at first, and that in a fiw days after the date of his communication, he hoped to see and embrace his mother. The first thing done by his mother, on the receipt of this letter, was to carry it to the Governor of the province, who, astonished at the unnatural char acter of the action sent the woman away with out taking any steps in consequence of her dis olosure. Some days later, the deserter arrived at the dwelling of hil mother, who received him with open arms, and loaded him with ca resses, But she took an opportunity immedi ately afterwards to go to the police officers, to whom she. delivered the child she had given birth to, and whom she had nursed at her breast. Compelled by duty, the Governor ad dressed a detailed report of the case to the Em peror. Nicholas viewed (he matter differently from the Governor.. The autocrat issued an ukase decreeing a sifter medal to Maria Niko forocona, with the word's engraved on it, “De votion to the ThroneJ” This mc(|)l was to be suspended from her neclf by the ribbon of the Order of St. Anno and the woman was further secured,,for the rest of her life, against the chances of want. It was moreover decreed that '.the circumstances of the case should be pub lished in all the journals of the empire, that its subjects might imitate this example of fidelity and devotion to the throne. The young soldier, in accordance with the military regulations of Russia, was'-suhject to the kpout, and died under Ike blows. The un natural parent wears the direction assigned her, witji aa much pride as if she had won it by the most virtuous action. Refusing the Invitation. —A plain, unlet tered.man from the back country, in the State of Alabama, came to Tuscaloosa, and on the Sabbath went early to-church. He had been accustomed to attend meetings in school houses and private dwellings whore each one appro priated to himself the first convenient seat he found unoccupied. He selected therefore, a seat in a convenient slip and patiently awaited the assemblage of the congregation. The services commenced. Presently the music of a full toned organ burst upon his 'astonished ear; he had never 'before board, one. At the same time the gentleman who owning the slip came up the aisle with his/lady leaning on his arm. As he approached the door of the slip, he motioned to the countryman to come out, in order to give place to the lady. This countryman did not comprehend, and from the situation of the gen tleman and lady and associated as it was in his mind with the music, ho immediately concluded that a cotillion, or French contra dance, or some other dance was abotit te*be performed. Rising from his seat he .said to the gentleman who was still beckoning to him: “Excuse mp,.6ir—ex cuse me, if you please ; I don't dance!” The Quaker and tiije Pugilist.— A'genuine bully callcd'upon a “Friend" avowedly to thrash hini. ; 1 “Friend," said the Quaker, knocking down the visitors fists, “before thou proceedest to chas tise me, wilt thou not take some dinner?” The* bully was a glutton, and at once con sented, washing down tho’solids with libations of strong ale. He rose up again to fulfill his original errand. “Friend,” said the Quaker, wilt thou not first take some punch ? and he supplied abundance of punch. The bully, now staggering at tempted to thrash his entertainer. “But,” quoth the Quaker, “friend, wilt thou not take ja pipe?” This hbspital offer was accepted, and the bully, utterly weak, staggered across the room to chastise the Quaker? The latter opening the window and pulling the bully towards it, thus addressed him: “Friend, thou earnest here not to be pacified ; I gave thee a meat offering, but that did not assuage thy rage ; I gave thee a drink offering,' still thou wert beside thyself; 1 gave thee a burnt offering, neither did that suffice; and now I will try thee with a heave offering.” 1 And with that he heaved him out of the win dow. That sufficed him. » k. What A Gem. —There is something tender and beautiful in the following, from the pen of B. F. Taylors of the Chicago Journal: in mo,” “There lis but ¥" breath of air and n beat of the heart,* betwixt this world and the next.— When the good and lovely die, then the memory of their deeds, like the moonbeams on {the stormy sea, light up our darkened hearts and lend to the surrounding gloom a beauty so stid| so sweet, that We would not; if we could,- dispel the darkness that environ it.” An Auctioneer was selling a lot of land fof. agricultural purposes, “Gentlemen,” said he, “this is the most delightful land. It is the -, easiest land to cultivate in the country—it’s so light—-so- very light. • Mr. Parker here will corroborate my statement; he owns'the next patch, and will tell yoii now easily if is worked.” “Yes, gentleman,” said Mr,, Parker, “it is very easy to work it, but it's a. plaguy, 'sight easier toghthef the'crops.” ‘ “ •' ’' ‘ r our hand!" ex- A Russian Mother.

J A Cannon Ball in hiS Hal; An anonymous writer, supposed to be tlid Rev.

AVhen I reached hobiß I had nothing to dd with my shot. I did not dare to show it in thd house, nor telhwhere I got it, and after solitary reflection, I gave it away on, the same day to it prize lighter. But, after all, that sis pounder rolled a-,good deal of sense into my skull. I think it was the last thing I ever Stole (except a little matter of heart now and then,) and it’gavc mo a noiioif of the folly of coveting more than you can en joy, which has made my whole life happier.

I have seen a man put'himself to every hu miliation to win a proud woman who was born above him, and when he got her, walked all the rest of his life with a cannon hall in Ids hat.

Bad Character.— -We always were aware of the importance of preserving a good reputioit for truth and honesty, but we have met with nothing lately; so well calculated! to impress the disadvantages of having a bad character upon the mind, as the following anecdote. A mortal fever prevailed on board a ship nt sea, andlrnogro man was appointed to throw the bodies of those who died from time to time, overboard. One day when the Captain was oil deck, he saw the negro dragging out of the fore castle a sick man who was struggling violently to extricate himself from the negro’s grasp, and remonstrating very bitterly against the cruelly of being buried alive. “What are you going to da with t\iat man, you black rascal ?” said the Captain,■> “Going to throw him overboard, ratissa, causd ho dead.” ■ 1 . “Dead 1 you scoundrel!” said the Captain, “don’t you sec he moves, and speaks ?” .“Yes, massa, I know he says he no dead, Imj: I he always lie so, nobody never know when to believe him I" -- A Beautiful Incident.— A naval officer being at sea in a dreadful storm, lua lady was sitting in tho cabin pear him and filled with alarm for the safety of the vessel, was so sur prised at his composure and serenity that sho cried out: , “My dear, are you not afraid?
