"V, ill you bo at boirx to-r.i:ht, Betty 9" and the speaker, a tall, muscular, well looking young farmer, reddened to the roots ot' his hair, as though he had com mitted seme very wicked act, instead of simply asking a foicstion. lie was bashful, extremely so, was Jo siali Ilawley at least in the presence of 3-oung ladies most of all in the presence of the girl he loved. No young farmer in all the country possessed a better kept farm, or talked with more confidence among his compeers of stock and crops, and on kindred subjects. But the glimpse of some r.rctfy face or foot coming in his direction, cuectcd him like a Hash of lightning. On such occasions he never knew v.'liat to do with his hards cr eyes, and always like rcrewing himself into a mouse hole. How he ever contrived to approach Hester Thomas on the subject of his preference for her probably remains as much a mystery to himself as it is to others. lint the young lady had quite an amount of tact and cleverness stowed away some where in her pretty little head, . albeit it war- ret cn the dimpled, inexperienced shoulders of seventeen. Josiali was worth, in a worldly way, much more than any of her suitors; good looking and intelligent enough to satisfy any oiTb but an over fas tidious person ; unexceptional, in short, barring his excessive bashfulaess, which wa3 a fruitful source of merriment to the 3'our.g people in their circle. And so when Josiah, in his awkward, blundering war, Lcgan to exhibit his preference for her in various little ways, such as Trailing on her to and from singing school, constituting himself her especial escort when she rode to church on horseback, to the solitary church in tko woods, and singling her out at quilting parties. Het ty took it all iu the easiest, pleasantest manner possible. The girls laughed, and the young men cracked sly jokes at the expense of her timid suitor; but Hetty stood up for. him very independently encouraged him out of his shyness never noticed any unfortunate blunder and very likely helped him along considerably when he reached the "culminating point" one moonlight autumn evening, as they were walking home together from praj'er meeting. . That was a Mock ago. Hetty had said EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, MAY "yes," and agreed to "bring father and mother round on the subject." Josiali had not been to the house since likeiy feeliug very much lie a. dog venturing upon the premises of a person v.hose sheepfold had just been plundered. As yet neither had the courage to speak to the "reigning powers" on the subject, and Hetty, feeling as if she v;ished to put the ordeal off as long as possible, at aoy rate to have one more confidential talk with him on the subiect, said "Mother is going over to aunt Hutu's to spend the evening, and wants me to go, but I guess I won't. I've been working on father's shirts all day, besides doing the dairy work, and I'm as tired as can bo ; so I guess she will have to go without me. Don't come till eight o'clock. I shall be through putting things to rights then, and will let you in." Ot course Josiah was not too obtuse to understand that, and so far forgot his bashfulness as to petition for a good-lye kiss, which was peremptorily refused, of course. "Xo, I shan't. Do take yourself off. Think I didn't see ycu Hdgettii:g around Sarah Jones at Deacon Banger's, yester day cveaing? 1 Lave not forgotten that, Sir: "Xow, Hetty But the appeal was broken off by a taunting little laugh; and as he sprang forward to take a pleasant revenge on his tormentress, she slipped away and ran up the Euth to the house, where he saw her wave her hand as she disappeared within the kitchen porch ; and then ho turned from the gate and hurried homeward. The tea things had been carried out, the table set back against the wall, the crumbs brushed from the clean homemade carpet, and Hetty's work-stand drawn up in front of the blazing fire. A beautifully piled plate of great red apples, and a plate cf. cracked walnuts were on it, iu close proximity to Hetty's work basket. Oa one side of the lire sat Mrs. Thom as, fat and fair, and at peace with all the world, rocking and knitting, and refresh ing herself at tundry intervals with a bite from a half eaten apple that lay on the corner cf the table, and touching every now and then, in a caressing manner with her foot, a sleek, lazy looking cat tliat purred and winked on the rug before her. Hetty sat on the other side, sewing and busy thinking how she could tell her mother she expected a visitor. She would have jnven the world to be able to Bay, in an off-hand manner, that she expected Mr. Ilawley to drop in about eight. But she recollected, with a twinge of conscience, how she had tried to get the old lady to accompany her husband to aunt Faith's, in spite of her warnings of a spe" of neuralgia, and Iioav she had plead ed headache as an excuse for not going herself. And she knew her mother was quite sharp, enough to draw her own in ference from these facts, and from her be ing dressed with unusual care to spend an evening at home. "I shall not dare to tell now. She'll be sure to think I wished tc get her out of the way so I might have Josiah ail to uyeelf, and I should never hear the last cf it ixiid lite a wise little puss she was silent. I'll venture my word on it, you would net have wondered at our youcaf farmer's i enthralment if you could have seen Hetty Thomas, as she sat by the iireside m that cold November night. Under pretence of being ready to go to her uncle's, (a thing she had no idea of doing,) she had, juai before tea, indulged in an indiscriminate "fixing up." A neat fitting calit-o, with the store look still upon it, a fre?h limui collar and a tasteful black bilk apron these were the chief items of Hetty's toilet, but she looked as swecfc-r.nd dainty iu her plaid dress as if au hour had been spent in donning lace and jewels. Her rich hair, of the darkest tinge, fell in shining folds close to her warm red cheeks, and was caught up in a cunning knot behind. Eight' o'clock was past. Mrs. Thomas was dozing in her chair her shadow on the opposite wall bobbing round in gro tesque mimicry as she nodded to and fro now crushing the voluminous white satin bows on her spruce cap against the back of the chair now almost falling for ward, and her fat hands lay listlessly in her lap, and her ball of yarn had rolled out upon the hearth, and puss was busy converting it into Gordian knots. And just then came a double rap at the door so loud, sudden and self assured, that Hetty started up with a little shriek, j and set her foot cn puss s tail, who in turn gave her voice to the amazement and dis- pleasure. The combined noise aroused Mrs. Thom as, and starting into an erect position, she rubbed her eyes, settled her cap border, and exclaimed ; "Bless my soul, Hetty, what was that ? Somebody at the doer ? Who can be coming at this time of niedit V "It's not late, mother only a little past eight. I'll go and see who it is," said Hetty, demurely taking the candle from the largo table "No. You wind up my ball and sweep the hearth, while I go to the door," said the old lady, whose feet were struggling in the meshes of the unravelled -yam. "Drat that cat I" All this time Josiah was standing on one foot on the cold porch, with his hands in his oereoat pockets, wondering if Hetty had fallen asleep, and every now and then giving the, door a smart rap by way of variety. in her hurry, Mrs. Thomas forgot to take the candle, and as she stepped out into the little entry, the sitting-room door slammed after her. She had her hand on the handle of the hall door at the moment, and opening it suddenly, found herself in the embrace of a stout pair of arms, a whiskered face in close proximity to her own, and before she could think about the strangeness of her situation she received a prolonged kiss a hearty good smack full upon her virtuous, sweet looking matron lips. "O, murder ! 'Taint Obediah nether !" She had by this time divested herself of the impression that it was her usually sobcr spouse, who must have come home in an unusually exalted condition thus to indulge iu such unwonted expressions of affection. "Get out ! Get out, I say ! "Who are you, anyhow ? Murder! thieves! Hetty, come here ! Here's a man kissing me like a madman !" But the intruder had by this time dis covered his mistake, and it did not need the pummeling and scratching of the old lady's vigorous fists to cause him to relin quish his hold and fly as if pursued by some indignant ghost. Hetty, nearly choking with smothered laughter in spite of her trepidation, now came to the rescue. "I never was so frightened in all my life I Who could it be? Hetty, have you any idea ?" But the dutiful daughter was, to all ap pearauce, innocent as a sucking dove. She soothed the old lady by representing that it might have been one of the neih bors, who had mistaken the house and the housewife. She searched the entry for the missing spectacles, dropped in the scuffle, re-arranged the rumpled border, wound up the rumpled-yarn, stirred up tiie hre all in the most amiable manner possible and at length had the satisfac tion of secing'her mother subside into her chair with her accustomed tranquility. Mrs. Thomas was fully awake now. She had a new idea iu her head, and instead of settling herself for another nap, she pursued her train of thought and her knit ting at the same time, and with wouderful rapidity.' At length, stopping and look ing keenly at Hetty, she said : "I suppose it's a queer notion of mine, Hetty, but I've a notion that man was Siah ilawley." - My ! but if Hetty's face didn'nt fire up then ! You might have lit a candle by it. These incipient symptoms did not es cape the wary inquisitor, " 1 ears so to me. sue continued. big whiskers were so much like his'n, and the awkward way ho grip ped me with his great paws." Hetty was wonderful busy. She bent over her work, and drew her needle so quickly that the thread snapped, and then she was so much engaged iu threading it again that she didn't have time to answer. "I don't suppose that kiss was meant for me, alter all. Wonder who it was in tended for? and wonder if you don't know something about it, Hetty ?'' "Me, mother"?" "Yes, you, Hetty ! You were .mighty anxious to get pap and I off to Aunt Kuth's this evening, and I noticed that you were slicked up extraordinary, for all you weren't- going. . Petty, I am getting old I know it ; but T haven't lost mv eyesight yet. I've heard something about this between yoa and 'Siah Ilawley. What arc ycu playing possum for ? Out with it, I say?" Our little schemer, thus adjured, made a clean breast of the matter, much re lieved that mother hadn't nuthin' agin him, and would give father a talk and bring him round. "But, Hetty, I want you to tell 'Siah I'd rather he wouldn't make such a mis take again. I don't like the feel cf his big whisker about my face, and I don't approve of promiscuous kissing." And IiCvty said she would. 'Siah never heard the last of that blun der. Old Squire Thomas used to delight in rehearsing the story whenever all ihe parties interested happened to be present. Of course, to Josiaa's great discomfiture. "Never mind, Siah," Mrs. Thomas 10, 1861. would say. "He'd been only too glad to have been in year place twenty years ago. lie had hard work to get a kiss from me. And I hope it will be a lesson to you and Hetty against the impolicy of concealment and all such nonsense." Moral Don't attempt to carry cn that little piece of matrimonial business of yours without telling the "old folks." i Counsel io Our Voluuiccrs. The New York Po. l gives the follow ing hints to our volunteers as to how to prepare for the campaign. They should be heeded. 1. Remember that in a campaign more men die from sickness than by the bullet. H. Line your blanket with one thick ness of brown drilling. This adds but four ounces in weight, and doubles the warmth. 0. Buy a small India rubber blanket (only 91-50) to lay on the ground or to throw over your shoulders when cn guard duty during a rain storm. Most of the Bastern troops are provided with these. Straw to lie on is not always to be had. 4. The best military hat iu use is the light colored soft felt ; the crown being sufficiently high to allow space for air ever the brain. You can fasten it up as a con tinental iu fair weather, or turn it down when it is wet or very sunny. 5. Let your beard grow, so as to protect the throat and lungs. G. Keep your entire person clean ; this prevents fevers and bowel complaints in warm climates. Wash your body each day, if possible. Avoid strong coffee and oily meat. Geueral Scott said that the too free use of these, (together with neg lect in keeping the skin clean) cost many a soldier his life in Mexico. 7. A sudden check of perspiration by chilly or night air often causes fever and death. When thus exposed do not forget your blanket. The Aesext. Of all the exercises of the unfettered mind, perhaps none is at tended with a more benign influence than that of indulging iu a kind remembrance of the absent. Kvery loving word that fell from the lips of the absent is treasured with tender ness. Each kind act is recollected with affection. We -look forward to meeting with unbounded happiness. Have we parted in anger? Time soft ens us into indifference at length into a quiet acknowledgment of past friendship. Have we parted in silent estrangement? This, too, wears away, and we must meet again to forget the past in future com munions. Have we parted in grief? The sonow is mutually borne, and tcudcrly consigned to the corner cf our hearts de voted to the absent sharer. Have we parted in love ? No joy so great as the remembrance cf it no event so delightful or sacred as the re-union. Absent, but not forgotten, is a sweet and touching memoiial. HOW TO MAKE AN" AmFRIOAX FlAO. Notwithstanding the number in use, few persons know 'how to make an American flag properly The rule is as follows: The flag should be one-half longer than wide, viz : If six feet wide, nine feet long : if eight feet wide, twelve feet long. The stripes should be alternately red and white, seven red aud six white, top and bottom both being red. The field should be blue, aud extend over seven stripes, commen cing :it the top, four red and three bite. The stars signifying the number of States should be white, arranged eu the blue field in the shar e cf a five-pointed star. We have seen many flaps with thirty-four stars, which is not correct, as by act of Congress, the additional star is not added to the flag until the Fourth of 3uly, suc ceeding the admission of a new State. fiX-A secessionist named Dr. Loran, aftej preaching up treason, and making himself notoriously obnoxious to the pat riotic citizens of Jefferson county, was waited upon by aco'umlttce of gentlemen, on last Thurday evening and requested to leave as his presence was disagreeable to the Union loving people of Brookville, and if he did not leave the next moruing he would bft tarred and feathered, lie left in the stage the next morning for Clearfield. The New Comet. The comet just discovered by M. Thatcher is said to be now plainly visible to the naked eyo. Star gazers will Cud it iu the quadrangle of the "Dipper" in the Great Bear a hazy star nearest the brlghest cf the four. It shows a tall three degrees long in the telescope. It moves raplaiy from the northeast, and in a few d:?ys wiil be con spicuous as a Saming sword from the North advancing iulo Southwestern ikies. Another omen ! NUMBER 89. tlant Cons. From the New York Trilmns. Treason has given birth to rebellion, and rebellion has broke out into open war. Men have been taken by thousands from workshops, factories and mines. Some factories are doing nothing, because the whole force has quit work and joined the army. Mining is given up in various quaiters from the same cause, and the di minished shipments of coal already indi cate the extent to which labor has been diverted from its accustomed employment. The war must operate iu precisely the same -way on agriculture. Thousands of Northern farmers have already quit plow ing for drilling, and thousands more will follow at the first call for more men. How long this war may continue, no man can say, because the outraged Nation has a long account, running over thirty years, which must be settled up before it is closed. We demand guarantees for the future quite as imperatively as the South and we intend to have them. But be it long or shorty it will be long enough to make se rious inroads on that great Northern gta ple, the corn crop, unless our farmers look to it in time. It has broken out in good season for them to put in more corn than they have ever done before. All north of Maryland are in good season for planting. We entreat our friends throughout this vast region to take heed and act. Let them double their crop it will all be wanted. Weeks ago the cry through out the South was to plant loss cotton and more corn. Let us not be caught nappng get iu the crop anyhow, it will be sure to grow ana may harvest in peace. In times of high excitement like this, the agricultural districts feel it as keenly as the cities, and quite as likely to neglect their farms as we are to leave our desks aud workshops. Look at the condition of some portions of the South even now. Illinois has saved some parts of Mississ ippi from starving, for they had raised all cotton and no corn. The whole rebel re gion is, in fact at this moment dependent on Northern granaries for food. Cut off their supplies, and they must perish or succumb. Most happily the north is most bounti fully supplied with food of all kinds. But our flour, and grain, and beef and pork, are constantly leaving us, for Eu rope in large quantities. We shall prob ably this year export more food than in any similar period in our history. Eng land alone wants every bushel of rain and every barrel of meat we can spare. This drain must empty our granaries and warehouses, running up prices even high er than at present, and making the com ing crops our sole dependence for the fu ture. Every idle acre should therefore be planted, now, while time and opportu nity permit it to be done. Every bushel of corn raised will be wanted. No one knows but half a million men may yet be needed to finish up this rebellion in away to make the peace as lasting as we intend it shall be. The country has crdT-r.,l that it will" no longer have its industry v.i.,..,..i i -.1 . J uij.-i.eu eery ie-.v eajs, euuer by com promise or rebellion. Remember, friends we are fighting to preserve the Govern ment itself. Compromise is dead. Lnt re bellion is alive and rampant. We Jutend to crusa it aud preserve the Union, cost what it may. But in the menu time while one army looks to its muskets, let the army of farmers look to its corn-fields. The South cannot plant either corn or cotton as aforctimcs. Thousands who cultivated corn are already flying from their plantations. Every ship that reach es our harbors, every train that enters our depots, is crowded with fugitives aban doning everything to save their lives. We have full evidence that the slaves in. many places already hesitate to work as usual, and cannot be lashed into it with the old impunity. How many-fields oi grain that may be already planted will be. trampled under foot of Northern armies, which a continuation of this uu paralleled rebellion must compel us to march over in crushing h out? .Bear in mind that more than forty forts, and mints, and ar ena's, and custom-houses must b Cap tured from the icbels. or surrendered t. discretion. There is no mistaking the magnitude of the work to be done, but were it thrice as heavy it. would be done nevertheless. .All this will require men Northern men men from the plow as well as from the workshop and the mine.. Never have farmers been so imperatively called on to plant every possible acre within the ir pow er. The home market will pay them. The South must he f I by the North an other year, and if thn political troubles in Europe should end in a general ar, a demand mut follow which wiil make cur farmers rich. Be active, friends, while the season is before you ! Double the r,ize of your corn-fiella c.oui?boay will want ail your crop. h ir
