My uncle Ned had set his heart upon marry ing me to my cousin Rosalie, but the thing savored of compulsion to me and I made op my mind to be just as the nature of the case might demand. ° V Uncle Ned was a jolly old fellow, and laughed in my face when I told him that I could not think of such a thing as permitting him to select a wife for me. I looked dignified and felt dignified; and was not a little morti fied when the old fellow haw hawed right in my face. ‘*But my boy, she’s as rich as mud, with an income of eight thousand a year. Think of that.” “My dear uncle, I beg you will deem me above mercenary motives in so important a matter as this.” I replied with a seriousness in keeping with the solemnity of the topic dis cussed. . “Perhaps ypu don’t mean to take a wife—die an old bachelor—eh ?” continued he, punching me under the ribs, as be poured fourth another of his abominable guffaws. “Not so ; on the contrary, I mean to take a wife just as soon as I can find one exactly suited to my mind.” “And you don’t mean to marry a girl that has got any money f” “That is perfectly immaterial, sir, as you are aware that my fortune is amply sufficient with out the addition of a wife’s dowry.” “But the money wouldn’t do any harm, would it?”’ • " “No, I should not object to a lady who pos sessed the requisite qualifications because she happened to have a fortune at her disposal, though in my estimation it would add nothing to my wife/' * ‘•lndeed?’' drawled uncle Ned, looking at me with such a funny expression that I could not tell whether he was going to laugh or get mad. I didn’t care’much, for I deemed it be neath his dignity to attempt any interference In such a delicate matter. ] J “But, Bob, Rose is the most beautiful girl in South Carolina. There are thousands of young gentlemen of the first families in the State who would gladly jump,at the chance to step into her shoes.” ~ PROPRIETOR. “They can do so, sir; I tell you plainly she can never be my wife if she were a pearl and had all South Carolina for her dowry,” said I with a dignified earnestness. “Whew!” “Your sneers, sir, will be as useless as your persuasions; they shall not move me.” “But, Bob, you know that your father ear nestly desired you should be married before he died,”’ added uncle more seriously. “It matters not, sir; I must be entirely un embarrassed in the choice of a wife. Let me tell you plainly, that, even if I had no other objection, the mere fact that you have attempted to draw me into this marriage were a sufficient reason for me to decline it,” “Eh ! you young puppy, what do you mean by that ?” “Just exactly what I say, namely, that J will neither be led or driven into marriage with Rosalie. I think we have said enough about it.” I began to talk more coolly. He was in my opinion, treading upon the prerogative of a free born citizen. What did the old fogy mean ? Did he think I hadn’t sense enough to choose my own wife? Rosalie was entirely out of the question—l could not on principle, be driren into a matri monial connection, even though the other party was nn angel and had a dowry of eight thou sand a year. “Mr. Bob, listen to reason. Rosalie is hand some and graceful, and all that sort of thing; sings charmingly, like a nightingale j plays on the piiino and harp, can talk French like a Parisienne.” “It matters ridt„sir; I object to tbfi principle of the thing, and 1 repeat, cannot nor will not marry her,” “Bob, you’re a fool!” “Ami?”, “Pon my word you are; you don’t know on which side your bread is buttered.’’ “Enough sir!” “But, Bob, yon will pay us that visit won’t you V' “Certainly; but do not Batter yourself, on ycur impudent interference in my concerns." “Saucy 'puppy !” and nay dndle again laughed. . We were on the most familiar terms. “You are a meddler; you make me saucy-. I trust I ;shaU'always be prompt in , resenting an invasion of my natural rights." “Hope yon will, my boy; but I will bet yon a thousand dollars you marry Rosalie;” to tfjt SHrtrnsfion of the area of jFrccJxont aitir tljfSpftaSr of f&taltfts 3Htform. WHILE THERE SHALL BE A WRONG UNRIGHTED, AND UNTIL “MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN” SHALL CEASE, AGITATION ALU ST CONTINUE. WELLSBOSO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 7, 1860. - “Dopel” “Bat on one condition.” “What?" ■ “That you come to my estate in South Caro-: lina with a susceptible heart—that you are not engaged to another.” . .. “I accept the condition,” said X, grasping his hand, “uncle, you’ve lost the bet." “Not yet. Bob, wait a bit." It was rather fuolishLin the old fellow to make such a bet; that I was so sure I could resist the attractions of my cousin, even though she should prove to be a Venus, that I considered the money already mine, and what was far better to me, that I had won the victory over him. j| That night uncle Ned started for his planta tion in fjlouth Carolina. • My father died three years before this con versation, leaving me an ample fortune. His two brothers had been in fiouth Carolina for thirty years, where the father of Rosalie died, leaving my uncle Ned her guardian. I had been often told that Rosalie was very pretty but she had been.to the north only once, and then I was traveling in Europe, and had never seen her. I had ■written to uncle Ned, promising to spend a month wjth him in the autumn. Bu siness had called him to Boston, where our in terview occurred. lie had more than once ex pressed a desire that his brother’s property should remain in the family, and pressed me to unite my fate to tha,tof his beautiful niece. This was out of the question. “A made up' match” was my abomination. Certainly I had other reasons for my prejudices against the marriage. I considered it a sacreh obligation' to fall in love before I took a wife, and the idea of being pledged to Rosalie before I had seen her myself, was so absurd that I had no pa tience to think of. it. And then I had a principle for guldancjb in the affairs of tho heart, which absolutely bade me to think of such a thing as a “mar riage for convenience.” The autumn came, and I paid -my proposed .visit to my uncle Ned’s plantation in South Carolina. i I was disappointed in my cousin Rosalia.— She was a tolerable good looking damsel, but in my opinion very far from the beautiful crea ture she had been pictured to me. “Isn't she handsome, Bob?” said my uncle. “Bid you ever seo such lips, such a graceful form? Isn’t she handsome, eh, you dog?” And the old fellow punched me in the ribs and roared with laughter till he nearly split'his sides. I couldn’t for the life of me see what he was laughing at. “Isn’t she beautiful, you rogue ?” he con tinued. “Passable,” I replied, very coolly, “Passable! You puppy ] What, do you mean to say that Rose is not handsome ?” “Tolerably,” I answered, twisting off the leaf of a palmetto which grew by the side of a bank on which we wero seated, just to show how indifferent I was. ‘‘Bob,” said he, looking more soberly at me. “I had an idea you were a man of taste, but I see you are as like to fall in love with one of my black wenches as the prettiest girl in South Carolina.” “Who’s that, uncle Ned?” This remark was called forth by the sudden appearance on the gravel wtflk of the loveliest creature I had ever beheld ; and that, consider ing I have flirted with the jbelles of Paris, Na ples and Rome is saying a.; great deal. I was, dumfounded by the sudden apparation, and springing to ray feet as if an electric shock bad roused the slumbering blood in roy veins, I stood upright before her. Shade of Venus! did any one ever see such loveliness 1 such a graceful movement! such a divine expression! I could neither speak or move, so completely was I paralyzed by the glorious beauty of the nymph. “I’didn’t know there was any one here,” stammered she, such a delectable blush on her cheek that I nearly went mad with enthusiasm. Before I could recover my scattered senses, the enchanting beauty bounded away as light as a fawn. “What the devil alls you, Bob? What are you starting at?” said uncle Ned. “Who is she?” asked I, clasping my hands in the rapturous excitement of the moment. “That? Why, that’s little Sylphie Howard, and bne of Rosalie’s who is spending a few weeks with her,” he replied, with in difference. . . “Beautiful,” said I. “She! passable! Tolerable good looking.” he continued, “but nothing to be compared with my Rosalie.” I was about to say something saucy, but thought since uncle Ned really believed what he was saying I would not hurt his feelings by de nying it. At dinner I met both'young ladies, and was formally provoked with my uncle when ho as signed me a seat next to Rosalie. . I could hardly be civil to her with such a pair of beau tiful eyes before me, and I Hardly ceased to gaze upon Sylphio during tho seeming short hour we were at the table. , . dinner we went out to ride horseback, tlncle Ned annoyed me again by provokingly contriving it so that X,should help Rosalie mount her horse and ride by her .side, and he, confounded old fool, did those offices of gal- for Miss. Sylphie. , - “jSq nso old. chap, you’ll lose your bet;’ J thought I, and I tried to be civil to my cousip. I.don’t think I succeeded- very. well. My eyes rested all the time upon the fair and graceful .horsewoman who rode before, me. . And thus it.was for a week, uncle IS'ed man aged to, keep me by the side of Rosalie nearly all the time. If we played whist she was,my partner; —if we rode in the carriage sbe eat by my side; if we walked he monopolized Sylphie and lefl RQsalio. to me—and more than once the fellow left us. alone together as though— well. In spite of my uncials vigilance, however, I found opportunities to flirt a little, with Sylphie, and one day lured her info a grove of palmettos at the rear of ; the mansibn-hooso. Time was precious. I was the ’here of;* novel. Cruel.unoles in bob-tail wigs sought to crush, the affection of my heart. In short I threw myself at her feet, and with all the elo quence that Harvard College bad crowded into my .composition, I declared my love. I used my classic, terms; I quoted Milton, Byron and Shakespeare, and called on all the gods in the calendar of Greece and Home. Did she accept me? Of course she did ; she couldn’t help accepting me; lam not an ill looking man, and let me say in extenuation of her weakness, that I had popped the question in a decidedly original manner. To be sure she accepted me. I printed twenty-four kisses on each of her pretty cheeks, and she blushed till I thought her eyelashes'would take fire nnd cheat me of my prize. We kept our counsel for two or three weeks and one morning when wo were riding out, we got away from uncle Ned and Rosalie, and I clipped it away about ten miles to a clergy! man’s who was so obliging as to furnish us with a marriage certificate. We rode back more leisurely. I was in my element. An elopement was just the kind of excitement for me. We got hack to uncle Ned’s about dinner time. >5 “Where have you been so long ?’’ asked uncle Ned. ■st “Over to the Rev. Mr. M’s. Allow me to present my wife,” said I, with perfect noncha lance. ‘“The devil!” “Just so ; and uncle Ned you have lost’ the wager. One thousand, if you please/’ said I, holding out my hand. “No you don’t, you puppy. Is it, Rosalie?”' said uncle Ned, turning to my wife. “No,” said she, with a blush. “Ha, ha, ha,” roared uncle Ned. I did not know what to make of the affair at all. “You have lost the bet, Bob,” cried tho jolly old fellow, as soon os he could speak. “No.” “fact, Bob,” said he, pointing to her hith erto known as my cousin, “this is Sylphie Howard,” “I have cheated you Into the handsomest wife and biggest fortune in South Carolina. The fact is, Bob, you wore much prejudiced against Rosalie. You came resolved to be un civil to her. I determined to give her a fair chance, although I had to tease the jade into compliance.” “Not quite, uncle Ned, this fa not a legal marriage. Rosalie was united to me under a fictitious na^ae, “I don’t carq for that. You married the lady you held by the hand. But, Bob, we will have it over again. Bo'you say so ?” Of course I diH-nOt say no. I would not have lost' my divinity for all the treasure in South Carolina. I paid over .my money and uncle Ned gave it to—the free schools of thfj Slate. - ’ A few weeks after I returned to the.Norfh with one of the most beautiful and loving wives that ever lighted the of a worthless fellow like myself. Wanted—A Printer. We do not know the author of the following, but he or she had a big heart, a lively brain, and a good-natured countenance: “Wanted—a printer,” s vys a cofcemporary. Wanted—a mechanical curiosity, with brain and fingers; a thing that will set so many ems a day ; a machine that will think and act, but still a machine"; a being who undertakes the most systematic and monotonous drudgery ; vet one the ingenuity of man has never sup planted, mechanically ; that’s a printer, A printer! yet for all his dissipated and reck less babitsj a worker, at all times and hour®, by day and by night; setting up inclose ai d un wholesome offices, when gay crowds are hurry ing to theaters; later still, when the street revelers are gone and the citysleeps; in the fresh air of the morning, in the broad and gush ing sunlight, some printing machine is at its eternal, unvarying click I click !

Think not that a subtle ray may not penetrate the recesses of his heart, or the flowers he gathers may not leave some of their fragrance on his toil-worn fingers. But when you seek friend, compnaion, adviser; when you would elevate one who, from sympathy, may fitly represent either or both— when you want judges, governors, and printers, O, ye people, advertise: “Wanted—a printer.” Comforts op Cdildrek. —Hall not that man wretched who, whatever else be goffers as to pain inflicted, pleasure denied.

' In’ the country towns in England, ihurrying men 'are so rare 1 that it is quite com liron to see' a dozen'charming girls, all 'well ed ucated, pretty, and lady like, fighting for a half starved curate, or a wretched attorney. Among English mothers, match-making is carried on to an extent unknown here (save in the very highest circles of our aristocracy ;) and this, not from mean motives, but from sheer neces sity. lu Franco no father expects bis daughter to get a husband unless she, buys him. Every man who has a daughter, begins, when she is eight or ten years old, to-save money for her dot~i. e., tlie purchase money of a husband.— Papa andmamma deprive themselves ef luxu ries, and even necessities, to amass a respectable sum ; the boys’ education is cut short, and their patrimony discontinued, in order to save the doi. In proportion to the amount is the quality of the husband.. A father who ; can give his daughter a half a million of francs will expect p General or Senator: ho who has a hundred thousand to bestow will fix his mask at a rising lawyer, a dashing colonel, or a prefect!; he who has amassed? twenty thousand francs will bo satisfied with a young merchant or a clever doctor. But he who has no money to give his daughter will never expect her to marry at ail. The' marriage (Tamuor is a thoroughly ohsolate institution in France. In Germany, and indeed 1 throughout Europe, the rule is rapidly booom- i ing;tho same. The father who expects bis I daughter to marry, must buy a husband.— Hearts were once conquered the poets say ; now they are bought.

Not worth the trouble to Took better to him than his merest acquaintances? Not worth the trouble to sur round yourself with every grace and fascina tion that you are capable of? Then if you are a neglected wife by-and-by, never complain, for it is your own fault; it was “not worth the trouble” to have a happy home. , “Oh! it’s not worth the trouble,” says thS nervous mother, snatching the implements work from the hands of her awkward child ;9 [‘not worth the trouble to teach her; I can do it bettor myself.” j .

Excessively Litekary. —How a lady en deavored to adapt her style of conversation to the character of guests, is narrated in an Ohio paper. Tom ConvinNind Tuni Ewing being on a political tour through the State, stopped at the house of a prominent politician at night, but found no one at home but a j’oung niece, who presided at the supper table. She had never seen great men, and supposed they were clophantic altogether, and all talked in great 1 manage. “Mr. Ewing; will you take condi ments in your tea?” inquired the lady. “Yes, Miss, if you please,” replied the quandam salt boiler. Corwin’s oyejs twinkled. Here was fun for him. Gratified at the apparent success of her first trial at talking -to big ihcn, the young lady addressed !Mr. Corwin in the same manner. “Will" you take condiments in your tea, Mr. Corwin ?” “Pepper and salt, but no' mustard,” was the prompt* reply of the face tious Tom. Of course, nature must out, and Ewing and the entertainer roared in spite of themselves. Corwin essayed to mend the mat ter, and wojs voluble in anecdote, and wit, and compliment The young lady to this day de clares that Tom Corwin is a coarse, vulgar, disagreeable man. j ‘ “The Or/b Oakes Bucket.” —The following reminiscence of Samuel Woodworth possesses sufficient interest, we think, to warrant us in presenting it to our readers. It is a portion of of.a private letter recently received.from one whose authority in the matter cannot be ques tioned. In roferencojto the period of l the pro ductOn of the “Old Oaken Bucket,” the writer says: “It was written in the spring or sum mer of 1817. The family were living at the time in Duane street.: The poet camc~lit>nnr to dinner one very warm day, having walked front his office, somewhere near the foot of Wall street. Being much heated with the exercise, he poured himself out a glass of water —New York pump water—and drank it at a draught, exclaiming as bo replaced the tumbler on the table, ‘That is very refreshing, but how much more refreshing would it be to take a good long draught, this warm*, day, from the old oaken bucket 1 '! left hanging in my father’s well, at home” Hearing this, the poet’s wife who was always a suggestive body, said, ’Selim, why would’t that bo a pretty subject for a poem?’ The poet took the hint, and, under the inspira tion of the moment; sat down and poured out from his soul fchoso beaullful lines which hare immortalized the named of Woodworth.”— Home Journal c | Witnesses TiinEE.-rShortly before ho died, i Patrick Itenry, layilig his head oh the' Bible ; said: “There is a hook -worth more than all others, yet it is my sad misfortune never to have j read it, until lately, with proper attention.”—j With voice and gesture, penitent, and all bis ] own, John Randolph said: “A terrible proof of our deep depravity is, that we can relish and remember anything better {Han the book.” When the shades of death were gathering around Sir Walter Scott, hq said to the watch er,‘‘Bring the Book.” “What book!” asked Lockhart, his son-in-law. “There it but one book,” said the dying man. 1 “KStes of M?©rtifllng.

The plumage of the female Flirt is very dazzling.— It is cliid in-thfl most radiant smiles'and com pliments of the softest and most delicate shader; while' its eyes have a strange; deep and pene trating lustre. It diffuses a faint yet thrilling perfume, caught from crushed flowers, scent bags and billet deux. Its music is a low> per suasive hum. It can ho*troe to no tune, nut sings snatches, and at thepiamdruns over tha keys with a light and tremulous touch. - The" volatility of this insect has long perplexed naturalists. It baffles pursuit. Strange to say; it dissolves to. the touch, and when caught, Is a handful of ashes, cold and colorless. The sting of the Flirt is very severe. ‘ Some say it is pois onous. Instances hava been known where it has proved fatal to happiness and hope.' It is infected with perfect impartiality, but seems to strike deepest into fresh and honest hearts.—r The Flirt languishes at the.first chill breath of' sorrow. When storm is in' the air it is pitiful to sec it seeking shelter,- its gay plumage so beaten and soiled, and ‘die color and the perfume gone, and the low inviting music changed to a desparing,plaint.

Ettie* was about sixteen, and when the Union meeting of Kontuckyy- Tonnessee, and Ohio Legislatures took place at Columbus, a youthful member-of the Tennessee Legislature, strolling the. startled by a silvery voice asking “Buy an orange, sir V* He did buy one, and this opened the way for $ conversation, in which the girl artlessly revealed to the stranger the poverty of her home, and the necessity of her supporting her mother.- He was so struck with the girl's manner and singular beauty that he secretly resolved to visit her home and become more intimately acquain ted. He did so, and after successive visits; won the confidence and love of tho maiden, and* the mother's consent to there marriage;» ana when he went back-to his southern home it was with a promise to return in*a fortnight for his bride* Ho came, and > now the manly Southerner and the beautiful Orange Girl are man and wife.

It is on gocd authority— an officer who was at the mess when the con versation occurred. A brother officer (noted as a was entertaining a mixed com pany with several stories of fiia exploits, a la. ‘Gordon Gumming/ among the lions and tigers of India.
