DARLING LOTTY, OR, The Weir.* of Hohsekeeping Miss Charlotte Jones was the daughter of a worthy and enterprising carpenter, who, setting in a thriving village, became, in due time a builder. a contractor ; and a fore-handed man. His wife was as industrious as hithself, and more ambitious ; and among other blessings. they had one fair daughter, Miss Charlotte, who was as pretty, as charming, indeed, as was necessary to make the smartest young man in the place fall in love with her—which he did. Certainly lie did. fie was a medical stu dent. in the doctor's office right opposite. As he sat there stinlying.anatomy or making pills, he could see Charlotte in the parlor or the garden. He could hear her play on the piano torte, and sing : he could see her di in; all sorts of wonderful worsted and crotchet work and he came to think that parlor one of the most delightful places in the world. Wellit was a loVe atliuir, all mutual and pleasant : calls and moonshine, music, billets, blushes, boquets, long Sunday evenings, and finally " Ask Pa !"—and then a wedding—but of course a diploma came first, and the petted child of the snecesful earpentei-, became Mrs. Dr. Simmons. And Dr. Simmons, who had received the honors of a medical college rather ydung, and who thought it needful to raise all the whiskers lie could by industrious shaving, and a course of Macassar, and to mount a pair of spectacles beside, to make him look old enough, had de cided to commence business in a small but growing village in a neighboring county, where as it happened, Mr. Jones owned a neat cot tage, of which, with its acre garden lot,- he made his daughter a marriage present; and, there, on the termination of the wedding tour, they took up their residence. The good Mrs. Jones had put everything " to, rights." Tt was in the most exquisite "apple pie order;" and no young couple just beginning housekeeping, was ever any better fixed. .Mrs. Jones, good soul, hat always done her own work. Help was a dreadful bother.— Charlotte had been carefully educated. She could do everything: that is, everything that i ever taught to young ladies. She knew all sciences and nearly all languages: that is, a little. She could do all kinds of fancy work.-- Her worsted cats and wax flowerg . were wonder ful : so were her water color drawings, and her monochromatic sketches were " high art." Everybody said so. But, somehow, Mrs. Jones from a habit of doing everything herself, had not given MiSs Charlotte a fair chance in kitchen and laundry and in other housekeeping accomplishments: while Charlotte had a vague idea that all those common things were perfectly easy, and as they were not taught at school, she concluded that they came by nature. So she commenced her housekeeping in a dream of , blissfull anticipa tions. They took possession of theirfine little house one fine summer's evening. Mrs. Jones saw them all properly fixed, and had gone home. They wakened with the early birds. 'l? , r: Simmons dreamed that somebody was thunder ing on the iloor, to call him up .to see a patient.. It was his horse pawing to be fed . • „ . "volt, Lotty dear," o said• the grave doctor, who was in the twenty-third. year, to his wife of seventeen, " shall we Make a beginning now,. Vise early, and attend to business ?" • • " Oh, by all means. I'll jump up. and ict breakfast." And I'll feed Pomp, and weed the garden." .So the Doctor watered and fed his horie, and hoed his potatoes a little, and then took a peep into the neat little.kitchen to see how the " Dar ling Lotty" was getting on with: breakfast.— Her face was very red, and • her hands very black, her hair was powdered with ashes. It was plain that she had trouble ; but she spoke pleasantly for all that, when she said— " Do go away, Charles, that's a dear, till you hear the bell ring. Breakfast will soon be ready." Well, he waited: He read, then he whistled, then he fidgeted, then he wound up the Clock, then he looked at his new case of instruments, and wondered how soon he should cut off his first leg ; then.he got very hungry, and nt last the bell did ring, and ho went to breakfast. The Darling Lotty was looking a little better, but still rather'an.iious. . " Have, you had a hard time, darling ?" in quired the Doctor, cautiously. " Oh, not very: • The fire did net kindle very well at first, and the stove smoked." " Did you open the damper 1" "Damper ! why no. Has it got a damper ? Well, I'll remember nest time. Now have some coffee." The Doctor took his cup, stirred it sliout, a .- 11A2111(TID11.11111.1 1 21QMAll' 1111 ALLENTOWN, PA., MARCH 7, 1855: looked rather hard at it ; and then at darling Lotty. " Well, what is it! I'm sure I don't know what makes it full of those specks, I boiled and boiled it." " Yet it don't seem to be settled. Did you put in any fish skin 3" • " No I forgot." "No matter. It will da very well. Now darling Lotty, 11l take an egg. Why ! It's hard as a brickbat !" * " Hard! Now how can they be hard, when they were boiling all the time 1 was making the coffee and the toast !" " Ali toast ; let us try that ? A little burnt but very good ; there, don't cry, darling ; it'l be all right next time." After showers came sunshine, and this one cleared off. The Doctor laid aside his dignity and helped wash the dishes ; and then put his horse in his sulkey, took the new saddle hags, amfdrove oil furiously, to see some imaginary patients, till dinner time, while darling Lotty blockbd out a worsted parroquet, that bid fair to be the wonder of her next winter's parties. But this, like all pleasures, came to an end, for there was dinner to get, and that dinner was to make up for breakfast. The Doctor liked a nice dish of boiled victuals—so she made a fire, and peeled the potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips. parsnips, and put them, with a nice sparerib of fresh pork into the kettle, and set them to boil ing. There was a rousing fire ; the water boiled furiously and s' re went up stairs to put a few stitches into the parroquet. Pretty rocn she became conscious of an unpleasant odor ; she snufl".‘d and wondered, and then put in the eye of the parroquet. But the unpleasant odor became stronger, and at last she thought proper to go in the direction it seemed to come from ; and that happened to be the kitchen. The stove was red hot ; so was the kettle of boiled victuals ; and a nice smother was rising from it. The Darling Lolly dashed a dipper of water into the kettle—bang ! --and such a cloud rf t cracked, but' the Doc tor hind just corns home hungry. the table was set and the d.nner was soon dished. The Darling Lotty took her place at the hejtd of the table. She was flushed and nervous, and ready for a fit of hysterics ; but the Do•.tor was so cheerful and tender, that she began to foci quite happy. But the poor dinner. It did not smell exactly right ; it seemed to ha•e caught on the bottom of the kettle, the Doctor• said ; then the potatoes were boiled into a pulp, while the beets and turnips were quite hard. The fresh pork rather wanted salting. " Charles, dear !" said Lotty very sadly. • " Well, Lotty, darling, what is it ?" " I'm afraid the dinner is not very nice." " Well, it is a little scorched , and not ex actly managed all regular, and all that sort o thing, you know ; but what signifies ? We'll try the desert." ''.Oh !" • " Well, darling, \vital's the trouble ?" Lotty ran into the kitchen, and there was her poor, forgotten plumb-pudding in the stove oven just burnt to a cinder. It was black as a coal—a fine carbonaceous specimen, as the Doctor learnedly remarked, as he finished, or rather made his dinner, on some bread and butter. The darling Lotty mourned over her disas ters, but took comfort in the brilliant plumage Of her parroquet, which. Dr. Simmons could not sufficiently admire. She Was also comforted with the thought that the next meal was tea, she felt sure that she could accomplish. And when tier hour drew nigh she made up a fire, and by 1.1.!: - 3 time. she had learned how to Manage 'Um! : E.ho tool: some flour and anti butter, with plenty: of s'aleratim , to make them light, and mixed tip some nice his- Cuits, and put them in the oven, Mid then she Made tea ; and when all was ready She rang the bell with great emphasis. And, truth to say; the table was very richly arranged; and the . tea service of gold' and china was beautiful. Dr. Simmons smacked his lips with' great gusto ; he took a cake and tried to break it, but it did not seem to.brcak readily ; then he took his knife—it cut like cheese ; also, it Was very yellow, and smelt and tasted rather strongly the Doctor said, of free alkali. So it did, in fact, for there bad been no acid to neu tralize the saleratus and set freo its carbonic acid, and of course nothing to make the cake rise. The Doctor explained it all very learned ly, and then, as ho felt thirsty, he took a sip of his tea of which he was Very fond. But he made a wry face. 8, Lotty was in consternation. "Is not the tea right ? It must be ! I put in a great deal and boiled it ever so long. I'm sure it hasn't got the strength it soon will have." . " My darling Lotty, tea is a delicate and odoriferous plant, and should be prepared as an hifusion, and not as a decoction. Bring me a little tea, darling, and some hot water, and I will soon make stood cup of tea,'! and he did. The poor darling Lotty. It took all the en. dearments of a tender .husband in the honey moon, too keep her from downright despair. But the day's lesson had not been lost, and she determined to have such a nice breakfast as should make up for all. Morning came, and our young doctor gallant; ly offered to assist in getting the morning re past ; but no, Lotty was determined to her own work. She mixed her cakes according to the learned suggestions of the evening previous. She bpiled the eggs three minutes by thC clock. The coffee was clear—greatest comfort of all. The Doctor broke a biscuit, it was capital.— The egg was just right. Then he tasted the coffee, and it came out of his mouth as soon as it was in ; and such a face ! Doctors are not squeamish, young Doctors particularly. They know what bad tastes and bad smells arc ; but this— " Why Charley !" cried the darlinz Lotty, " what is the matter with the coffee ?" " That is what I would like to know, Lotty, darling% I know you do your best, and the bis cuits and eggs arc beautiful ; but what did you put in the coffee ? " Why, Charley, you said it must have sonic fish skin to settle it, and the only fish in the house, is some herrings, so I 'skinned Iwo of them and put the skin in the coffee!" and poor Lofty burst into a paroxysm of tears. But there came sunshine soon, that made it all pleasant weather. Lotty bad invited an old school friend to visit her. She came soon after breakfast, and, it happened, her house keeping education had not been neglected. She absolutely knew every thing ; Mrs. Hale, Miss Leslie, even Mrs. Glass or Mrs. Rundell could not excel her. She was a walking cook book, and a lively little treat* on domestic economy. Never was a visitor more welcome, and now the darling Lotty learned every possible thing to wash, and Mend, and bake, and cook every thing, and became the nicest little housekeeper extant, while the Doctor, by the aid of his ven erable appearance and rapid driving in the sulky, rode into an extensive practice ; and was never tired of boasting of the excellent cooking o f hi s wing Lotty. BILL HARRIS , Or, Ike Pioneer's Revenge. Within four miles of the head of Lake George lies a fertile valley denominated " Harris Hol low." Here at the close ot" the eventful strug gle for independence, resided the hardy back woodsman, from whom this delightful se took its name. Ile had been a severe s by the war, both in person and prosperit had brought out of it a settled hatred fl authors of his calamities. Though I signaliz,ed himself for daring in every the protracted contest, and Mil shed blood, his revenge was not yet co4le had vowed denial hate towards his foe nothing - but their utter extermination coul Aolve him from the oath. The circumsf which laid the foundation for this perm bitterness had occurred in the early part strife, and arc briefly these: A scouting party, of which Harr is era was surpriSed in the night by a party of ' and Indians, and cut to a man. Struck ground in the fray, Harris rose upon his on discovering a tory neighbor among 1., sailants, and implored him by their ft friendship to spare his life. Cdisinglihn ncorrigiblo rebel, the other raised his larris had scarcely time to ejaculate, God's sake, Parks, don't kill me ;" the of the weapon descended on his head with vino violence : the Indians tore the scalp its fractured skull, and lie was left for among his Companions. Mangled as he he revived soon after the departure of th my, and having crawled as far as he wa from the scene of the conflict, lie concealed himself in the thick top of a fallen evergreen.— At day break the party returned to 'the spot to secure :the remaining booty, and to despatch survivors. Harris was missed from among the slain, and was so fortunate as to escape the dil igent but hasty search made for him by the murderous Parks, who more than once recon. oitred the very place of his concealment. For the four days following, the wounded man crept upon his hands and knees before ho reached a settlemeht. It was hot weather, and his wounds were in a horrible state; but by speedy dressing and constant attention his life was preserved; and ho slowly-recovered, to be. come a dreaded- scourge to the wily foes that infested the frontiers, and those more bitter in ternal enemies of the state, the Tories of the Revolution. • • • The declaration of peace brought but partial cessation of frontier hostilities, and many a dark deed was 'perpetrated even after the'con tending nation had ceased to shed each other's blood. • Harris held it as lawful to shoot an In dian or tory as to kill' a wild cat, rind there were not wanting opportunities to put his the ory in practice. Tho first of these was as fol lows : An Indian doctor, in his periodical pero grinations, was passing •Harris' Houso, on his route to'a neighboring swamp to gather herbs and roots for his sititae materia medics. Har- ris' children, who inherited al their sire's an tipathy for the aborigines, insulted the mecE eine•man with blackguard and missives, until he lost all patience and threatened to toma hawk them. This menace, though intended only to frighten the troublesome urchins, was sufficient for Harris ; seizing his rifle he fellow , ed the unsuspecting and unoffending disciple of 2Eseulapins to the woods, and, if tradition may be credited, shot him through the head and sunk the body in the deep sluggish brook'Which found its way through the middle of themo rass. Although no one at that time knew cer• tainly what had become of the Indian doctor, the report darkly hinted that " Harris had done his business for him," amply confirmed by his well known antipathy to the race, reach ed the tribe, and according to their invariable custom, a powerful warrior was deputed to re taliate the injury by the death of the murderer. Ere this avenger of blood arrived, Harris had sacrificed another victim to his unquenched thirst for revenge. This was no other than the savage Parks' himself. He had returned from Canada, the refuge of the tories at the close of the war, on a visit to his brother still residing in that immediate neighborhood.— Knowing the vengeful spirit of Harris, Parks despatched a pacific message desiring him to consent to a settlement of their personal and political differences. " Old Brayton shall set tle muttered Harris, casting ti fierce glance at his long rifle suspended to the naked walls of his rude cabin by a coul le deer's horns. The ominous reply was reported to Parks, and he fled from the vindictiveness of his ancient foe. The vigilance of the other was more than a match fur Parks' speed, and before he reached the line he paid the prise of his former fiendish conduct—a victim to the unerring aim cf " Old Brayton." The brave sent to avenge the death cf the medicine man lurked about the precincts cf Harris Hollow for some days without discover ing himself, lest he should excite suspicion. At length observing a single man in a geld adja cent to his retreat, he made up to him and civ illy requested to be directed to Harris' Cabin.— The savage had never seen the foe of his race, and knew not that he was addressing redoubt able Leatherstocking himself, or his mission might have found a speedy termination in the death of one or the other of the implacable foes. Harris at once penetrated h . de when the sharp crack of a rifle and the heuvy lunge of one of their number into the Lake, brought the remaining five instantly to their feet, and elicited the guttural ejaculation 'tis he !" No enemy , was visible, but the smoke curled sluggishly upward from bet!iind a huge rock near the place of . their embarkation. The anchors were raised al mostinstantly, but ere this could be effected, one canoe was unmanned and calmly drifting towads the shore. . The remaining warriors pulled with dispatch in the direction of the reports. Vigo rously as the paddles were plied, a second bark Was soon floating, without occupants. Nothing daunted by the, fate of their companions, and bent upon avenging their death and vindicating the honor of their tribe, the surviving braves shot their shallop forward with the speed of lightning—it touched the shore- , -they dropped their paddles, and seized their woollens, and strand. Ono of them. fell across the canoe,. literally riddled with a shower of slugs and buckshot from an old " queen's-arm," which the wily hunter had been careful to provide in case of need, and at the same instant the re maining savage stood confronted face to fac e with Bill Harris, who coolly emerged from his ambush to give his foe fair play. • Each deliber ately loaded his piece., It was a critical mo ment: Both triggers were pulled, and the St. Regis whizzed over the head of the old pioneer NUMBER 22. Teach your child to ob2y. It is the first lesson. You can hardly begin too soon. Ono of the most successful parents that I have known, says that this point was usuully settled be tween him and his children before they were three months old. But it requires constant care to keep up the habit of obedience, and es pecially to do it in such a way as not to break down the strength of a child's character. Teach your child to be diligent. This habit of being always employed is a safeguard through life, as well as essential to the culture of almost every virtue. Nothing can be moro foolish than the' idea which some parents have, that it is not respectable to set their children to work. Play is a good thing. Innocent recrca i Con is an employment, and a child may learn to be diligent in that as well as in other things. But let him early learn to be useful. As to truth, it is ene essential thing. . Let everything else be sacrificed rather than that. Without it, what dependence can you place on your child ? And be'sure you do nothing your 'self which may countenance any species of pre varication and falsehood. Yet how many pa rents do . ,teach their children the firet lessons of deception. It is impossible for us to say what occupa tion would be most lucrative to a young man, particularly as we know nothing of his • talents or acquirements. Ilre, would, how ever, say, ns a general mile to all, " do not make haste to be rich.",, Adopt some safo. . and regular business, in which you may re n comfortable living, and be content.— ff a person is .prudent and. economical there i:; generally no danger /Int he will succeed.--. The idea of " getting rich" is a' wan , and foolish one, and men generally spend hilf their lives in finding out that to, accomplish this object it is a useless undertaking. There are thousands of persons at the present time, suffering from the pangs of poverty, who if they had been content with a sufficiency; would now have been comfortable, and happy. Tho education that we get in the world is more dearly bought then our youthful instruction, and it would be well if young men would more gen-., crally profit by the example which every day life affords them. I leave to society a ruined character, a wretch ed example, and a memory that will soon rot. I leave to my parents, during the rest of their lives, as much sorrow as humanity in a decrepid and feeble state, can sustain.. . I to my brothers and sisters as much mortification and injury as T could:conveniently bring upon them: • I leave to my wife a broken heart, a life of wretchedness and shame, to weep over me and' my premature death. I giro and bequeath to each of my children poverty, ignorance, a low character, and the remembrance that their father was a monster:: at the same instant that his - Own pierced the heart of his foe, who fell baukstard into the George, dying its clear waters with the last blood spilt in the eventful war of the Revolu tion., Harris confined his foes in their own barks, sunk them deep in the Lake, and pre-, szved ' his moody taciturnity. The Indians gained the superstition that Bill Harris had a charmed life, and resolved to . exposc no more of thii warning number to certain destruction.' Harris Hollow was thenceforth unmolested; and its original proprietor lived to rehearse, in. garrulous old age, to its prosperous and rapidly increasing populittion, the oft repeated tale of TUE PIONkII 4 B REVENGE. • Sol7mti Warnings as to Women. I have told tiled, my son, and I bid thee never .to forget it—many men have perished turough the beauty of a woman. Through Eve, the first man ; through Delilah, the strongest man thro' the wife of Uriah, the most man. —by reason of' many strangr woman, the wisest men—all miserably fell. Who art thou, then, that thou darest to behave thyself toward them without prudent caution ? omy son, 0 my disciple! Art thou above thy master?— And if I, that am unchangeable holiness, was always most cautious as regards women, can it be right for thee a reed shaken witli i the wind, to be incautious ? To me indeed, there could be no danger in their conversation : but I wish to give thee an example, that thou shouldst do likewise. Learn therefore, from me, to have but seldom a short conversation with them.— Learn not to address foolish woman of Samaria., except for their conversion, and to suggest re pentance. Learn not to have words with sinful women, Unit arc ashamed and humbled, except to give them peace, and teach them a new way. Learn not to talk with pious Cannanitish% women, except it be with a grave and austere goodness. Learn to repel even with authority, them that come unto thee by reason of the odor of tliy sanctity, if they show a merely human affection, Learn not to visit the holy woman —the Marys and the Marthas—except for the sake e f thy friend Lazarus, their brother, or for the sake of religion, or of charity. Learn not to talk unto them of worldly trifles, but_ of the one thing needful, and of Letter heart cf those things which arc above. Learn not to visit women that arc proud, or idle, or LusYbodies, or given to dress, or to the vanities of the world ; but to go to and comfort them that, are sad at the death of Lazarus, or that are weep ing at the death of an only son. Learn to scold all suspicions ; and whatever may be in vented with any a.ppearance of probability, have a care to avoid its being invented. lei Eicrt Scram for Pak !:t9.
