Will you now receive salvation,

Shall your SoduM-wous be strictest?

Thirteen Vote!: or the Wager,
In a town in the interior of the Gran
ite State, not many years since, a gen
tit7,of some property, and not a little
political consideration, teided, whose
name we shall cull Martyrs. He was a
great stickler for party principles, inso
much that he was sometimes induced
by party zeal to violate his moral duties.
On one occasion in particular, when a
very important election was taking
place, upon the results of which, per
haps, the Very existence of his party de
pended, he was 144) carried away by his
party feelings, as to deposit. thirteen
r4e.v for one individual at the same time
in the ballot box, in defiance of-the law
which provides tluit no man, to which
ever party he may happen to belong, or
however worthy may be his favorite
candidate, shall deposits more than une
ballot for any one individual for any one
office
SAMSON'S
Wattie Martyn was unfortunately de- !
tected in this equivocal act—aiill al
though no legal action was had in rela
tion to the subject, yet there were those
in the town in which he resided, who
were unwilling to admit the excess of ;
party zeal was a sufficient apology for
hip dereliction of moral duty—and the I
simple act of depositing thirteen votes
for one candidate, at one time an the
ballot box, although palliated and- ex
cused by some of his warm political
i I
friends, was severely censured by others.
This occurrence furnished a subject of
conversation among the worthy citizens
of the town for several weeks—at the
end of which time it gradually died
away, but was not forgetter. Poor Mr.
Martyn was doomed to hear the words
thirteen rotes occaeionally repeated by
his political foes in •the most indignant
mlinner--evidently with the design of
disturbing the equanimity of his feelings.
In this they. succeeded but too well
words, so harmless in themselves,
or when applied to others, if addressed
to Mr. Martyn, or even lamed in his
hearing, seemed to pewee the power
of a magic cabala, so wonderful, and so
instantaneouawas the effect which they
produced on the appearance and con
duct of that gentleman. The moment
thirteen votes reached his ear, his features
were clouded with a frown of indigna
tion—his eyes were lighted up with a
most unholy fire—his hands involuntari
ly grasped the nearest weapon'of offence
within his reach, and his voice, natural
ly clear and sonorous, was changed into
deep and nnearthly mutterings, resemb
ling the sound of distant thunder, or the
rumblings of the pent up volcano. In
deed the effect produced on Sir Piercie
Shafton, by the sight of the bodkin, as
related in the Monastery of Sir Walter
Scott, was not more sadden and terrible
than the effect produced on Wattie
Martin, by repeating the words " thir
teen votes." His weakness on this,
point was proverbial, and a wicked youth
of the' village, now a very worthy and
respecieble legal practitioner in the city
orßoston, once made Martyn's infirmi
ty the means of playing off a mischiev
ous and cruel praetiod joke, to the great
amusement of the bystanders.
. Mr. Smith, the young gentleman to
whom we allude, being one day at the
village tavern, entered into csmversation
withagenteellookingstranger,while the
landlady was preparing some refresh
ment, with which to refresh the ex
hausted frame and spirits of her guest.
The oonversation turned on the difficul
ty of pronouncing some of the names of
places of Indian origin, which are so of
ten met with in the New England
States. In the midst of the colloquy,
Mr. Smith saw his political opponent,
Wattie Martyn, ooming down the road.
He was certain that. Wattie would pop
into the tavern, and in the spur of the
moment, laid his plans accordingly'.
‘, What you say, sir," said Mr. Smith,
" respecting those jaw -breaking names,
is perfectly correct—l agree with you
entirely, and am much gratified to.make
the acquaintance of a gentleman of so

GETTYSBURG, PENN'A.: MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1857.
much testa. Bat t my dear sir, there
are familiar English words, which, al
though they may not be very difficult
to pronounce, are exeeedingly difficult
to repeat. For Instaisee it is almost
impossible for any one not familiar with
the practice, to pronounce the words
thirteen rotes, thirteen rotes, thirteen votes,
for any length of time, without making
the most ludicrous mistakes."
"Thirteen votes! thirteen rotes! thir•
teen votes!" repeated the stranger. "1
donot see any difficulty in that. I could
ge on repeating the words thirteen
votes ! thirteen vote.; ! thirteen votes !
until. to-morrow morning !"
"It is far more difficult, mydear sir,
than you imagine," replied Mr. Smith
in his blandest manner. "I am not
much in the habit of betting, but for the
curiosity of the thing, I am willing to
bet you the price of a dinner for your
self and horse, that you cannot repeat
the words 'thirteen votes, thirteen
votes, thirteen votes,' fifteen minutes,
without making some egregious blun
ders)."
" Done," said the traveller—who re
joiced at the idea of paying the land
lord's charges so easily—" and I will
begin at once." So saying, he took out
his watch and noted the time—then
planting himself firmly against the wall,
with his face towards the door, he as
sumed a look of great determination, as
if he had undertaken an unpleasant job,
but was resolved to go through with it
at all hazards—and, commenced pro
nouncing in a hind clear voice, with due
emphasis and discretion, the cabalistic
words, " thirteen votes I thirteen votes
thirteen votes:"
In the meantime. Mr. Marten, not
dreaming of the insult that awaited him,
bent his steps, as he was wont, towards
the tavern., As ho reached the thres
hold of the door, he heard the offensive
words, "thirteen votes! thirteen votes !
thirteen votes!" pronounced—and with
frame trembling with passion, mist with
fury strongly imprinted on his rubicund
visage, he abruptly entered the bar
room, to confront the man who dared
thus) triffe with his feelings, and attempt
to overwhelm him with insult.
His eye, beaming with wrath, MI
upon the stranger, who regarded him
withering glances with the most pro
voking indifferenzel—and who paused
not a moment in his recitation, but con
tinued to repeat the maddening words,
"thirteen vote's! thirteen votes : thir
teen votes:"
Thu indignant_ Martin next caught a
eight of M. Smith, convulsed with
laughter--" What, is the meaning of
this, sir," said he in a voice of thunder.
But the only reply be received watt from
the mouth of the stranger, who, with
the most irritating pertinacy, contin
ued to bawl, even louder than before,
" thirteen votes: thirteen votes thirteen
votes :"
Marlyn then advanced towards the
stranger, his frame absolutely quivering
with rage. 4 , Who are you, scoundrel ?"
demanded he in the most imperious
manner, “ands how dare you insult me
in this way ?"
The stranger thought the rage of
Marten was eounterfeited, sad a rase of
Smith's to wilt the wager; and the an
swer to his question, shouted out in a
still louder voice than before, was " thir
teen votes ! thirteen votes ! thirteen
votes !"
"I will not put up with this insult,"
screamed Martyn, doubling up his list
and putting himself in an attitude.
"Thirteen votes I thirteen votes! thir
teen votes !" vociferated the stranger at
the top of his lungs.
"If you repeat those words again I
will knock you down, yon rascal, said
the infuriated Martyn, with a howl of
desperation.
The stranger felt somewhat indignant
at being addressed in this rude and un
ceremonious manner, but be was de
termined to win the wager, and raising
his voice, buwled oat with the lungs of
a mentor, "thirteen .votes: thirteen
votes! thirteen votes !"
" Take that for your insolence," shriek. ;
ed Martyr*, ' the action to the
word, awl giving htekless traveller
a box on the ear which Laid him pros
trate on the floor.
But as the stranger fell, his yell of
surprise, anger and agony, took the
sound of •" thirteen votes t thirteen votes!
thirteen votes l"
Highly lexaeperated at what be con
ceived to be a base and unfair contriv
es/0e to cheat him opt of his wager, the
stnisiger rose in high dadgeon, still ex
claiming in a voice which a boatswain
in a hurricane might have envied,
"thirteen voteal thirteen votes! thir
teen votes r! and fell pell meld upon poor
Martyn, pounding him without mosey,
and bellowing out. between every blow,
" thirteen votes!"
The traveller finally kicked Martyn
out of the room, and as he closed the
door upon the unlucky illegal voter, he
looked; at his wateb--saw that the fif
teen minutes had already expired—gave
a loud and exulting shout of "thirteen
Wm! TWATIEN verge! THIRTEEN
VOTES !" which made the welkin. ring
again --sank exhausted in a chair and
claimed the wager.

"TIVTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PEIVAIL."
Serving a Subpaana.
It is singular what shifts love will
make to accomplish its objects. Both
gates and bars are of little avail against
Cupid's pick-lock contrivances---his cun
ning will devise ways and means to open
them all. A young gentleman had
courted a fair damsel of this city and it
was supposed that the two is time would
"become one." Some little quarrel of a
trivial nature, as lover's quarrels gener
ally are, occurred. Neither would con
fess the wrong to be on their side—
presents and correspondence were mutu
ally sent back and the match was bro
ken off. The , young gentleman imme
diately started off to New Orleans, to
enter into commercial business, think
ing that distance would lessen the at
tachment he really felt for the young
lad v.
When a woman is injured, or' thinks
she is injured, by the one she loves, she
is more apt to than the male sex "to
bite off her own nose," as the saying is,
to inflict pain, and be revenged on the
offending object. A gentleman thqt
the young lady had once rejected re
newed his proposals and was accepted
within a week after her old lover had
embarked for ,the South. Ou reaching
New Orleans he found that distance,
instead of weakening his attachment,
only made the lady dearer, and he be
came melancholy and low spirited.
The first letter he received from New
York from a friend of his, announced
that his old flame was shortly to be
married to another. His course was
quickly taken—the next morning saw
him on hoard a packet-ship bound for
Gothain.
The passage'unfortunately was long,
and the Poor fellow chafed and fretted
KO much that the par-sengers began to
think him deranged or else a fugitive
from justice. The instant the vessel
touched the wharf he darted for the of.
fie,: of his friend, the lawyer. it is to
be supposed the latter was much sur
prised to see his friend, imagining him?
a couple thousand miles away. Af
ter the usual salutations, ho exclaimed :
"My dear fellow, you are in time to
sec the wedding. Miss —, you? old
sweetheart, is to be married this !horn
ing at eleven o'clock. Tu tell you the
truth, I don't believe there is much
love about it, and the girl really thinks
more of one hair of your head than
the fortunate bridegroom's whole body."
"Good 'leaven: Where is she tole
inarrieil—in church?"
" No, at her father's holies."
"My clear
yes, I will have it. Have you any case
coming on in either of the courts at II
o'clock ?"
"Yes."
"Then fill up a subpoena with the
bridegroom's name. Don't stop.to ask
any questions. It matters not Whether
he knows anything about the
, parties
in the suit. by Heavens! Julia shall
be mine"
His friend saw the 'object at once,
and promised to carry on the matter.
The subpena was made out and placed
in the hands of the clerk to serve on the I
unsuspecting bridegroom the instant he'
should leave his residence, and was dis
patched in a cab to watch the house.
About ten minutes before eleven, as the
soon-to-be happy man was about enter
ing. a coach before the door of his
residence, he was served with a sub-'
piens.
"Can't help it," said the clerk, in re
ply to his gesticulating about "not
knowing the parties, going to be mar
ried," " We Shan t reach the Hall
before eleven—imprisonment for eon
tempt," ice.
The bridegroom, who was rather of a
timid nature, finally consented, partic
ularly as the clerk promised to send a
friend of his who sat in the cab wrap
ped up in a large cloak, explaining
the reasons of his absence. The read
er can imagine who this person was.
Eleven o'clock came, but still no
bridegroom. The guests were staring
at each other—the priest began to
grow impatient—and the bride that
was to be, looked pale and agitated.
when a carriage drove np and the bell
rung,' " There he is! There• he is I"
murmured many voices.
A gentleman did enter, whose ap
pearant*created almost as much aston
ishment as that of Edgar Ravenswood
in the Hall of Ashton Castle at the
marriage of Lucy Ashton, in Scott's
"Beige of Lammermoor." - The lady
fainted; private explanations ensued
between the parade awl the real lover,
and the result was that, in ten minutes
after, the two real lovers were joined in
the sacred bonds of matrimony, mach to
the satisfaction of all
The bridegroom that-was-to-have
been, afterwards made his appearance
puffing and blowing, What he said
and what he did, on beholding his rival,
and beingmade acquainted with the
condition of affairs, was really tragic
comical.
The story of the subpoena shortly af
terwards leaked out, and has created so
much amusement, that the poor Niel*
declares he will sue the lawyer for ten
thousand dollars damages in subpoena
ing him as a witness in a case of which
ho knew nothing, and by which he lost
a wife. It will be a novel suit indeed,
if he should do so.—New York Paper.
A Just Sentence Prortouncrd.—The
Louisville Democrat says:
" When the Know Nothings seized
with unholy hands upon the Washing
ton monument, they proclaimed thus:
'The sum (1,000,000) must be raised by
the councils of our order, or we must
suffer indelible disgrace and become a
by word.' Well, the sum is not raised,
and the directors have scandal9asly
abused their trust. Let this sentence
pronounced in advance be executed."

Ma. Enrron :--Owing to the lateness
of the season, the .eorn was put in the
ground, in Eastern Pennsylvania, later
than usual, and I presume farmers have
made use of everything they could con
veniently get to force the growth of it.
Now, the best way of tilling, is the next
thing; the old way of passing a two
horse harrow over the top of it and
tearing a large portion of it out, I think
rather behind the times. I will admit
that what remains after the harrow has
passed over it, growithe better for be
ing well scratched about the hills. But
I think a better way is when the corn is
fit to harrow, say three or four inches
high, to use a three-cornered tooth har
row for one horse, made with handles to
steady it ; pass such a harrow each way
clase to the hills, and with a careful
hand it will he well harrowed. Next
take the cultivator, the hoes of which
should scour, as it will be much lighter
for the horse to draw; pass this each
way until the corn is large enough to
take care of itself. I have abandoned
the use of the plowin the cornfield, af
ter the corn is up, entirely ; I can see
no advantage in plowing corn. I would
add that in my opinion, it is very bad
policy to work eorn\ when the ground
is wet ; it is seldom too dry; it is u rare
thing to see corn tilled too much, but
quite frequently it can be seen half till
ed ; and then we hear complaints of
crops. SIMUN.

Cure for Bots in Bore,eB.—Drew's
Rural Intelligencer says, an intelligent
gentlemen of our acquaintance ; who
has fo/ years been largely concerned in
the management of horses, called at the
Rural Ufflee a few weeks ago, to say
that he knew, by experience, of a rem
edy for huts in horses, which is sure to
expel them from any one of the' race
afilieted with those dangerous insects.
The medicine is nothing more or less
than common fish pickle,—that from
'mackerel is perhaps best;—one com
mon junk bottla f full will generally dis
lodge the "varmints,"---sometimes a
second one may be necessary. To use
his own words, "this is a perfect cure
—no mistake." Some persons mistake
the bellyache for buts. The latter may
be ktelown by the horse drawing down
his tail, and giving it a peculiar motion..
There is no such appearance in cases of
mere bellyache.
Theory qf hoof-Ail and Hollow Horn.
—Mr: M. J. Johnson, in a late number
of the Ohio Cultiratar, gives the follow
ing as his views upon these two diseas
es to which cattle are frequently sub
jected :—This hoof-ail is caused by cold
weather. Chickens' are subject to the
same disorder in very cold weather, es
pecially if they have not been well fed,
and are not in
. good roasting order.
Hollow-horn proceeds from the same
cause. If cattle are not fed on nourish
ing diet, and provided with a warm
bed in very cold weather, hoof-ail or
hollow-horn is very apt to overtake
them.—Sometitnes the freezing in the
feet or horns is so slight that it is not
dismverable fur some weeks or even
months. The cause and preventive
is as much as I can give.
Ticis Heifer Calves sot Barren.—The
impression is very common, sa The
Hone lead, that twin heifers are barren,
and many of them are, as calves, con
signed to the butcher in consequence.
That this impression is quite unfounded
is known to many, A subscriber in
Westfield, Mr. Alvan Fowler, communi
cates the fact that he has a pair of twin
cows, twelve years old, very fine ani
mals, worth at least $75 apiece ; each of
them has had eight calves. Ho has
seen a statement in the Massachusetts
Plogyhnurn, confirming the false idea
that people should never-raise twin
heifer calves, and otTers this fact now to
controvert it.

a frequent muse of one: in wheat is the

who has tried, recommends to let wheat

until fully cured. The wheat raised
from seed thus treated, was not injured

to hear that the• landlord required his
services, to mend a lot of pane and
kettles which had suddenly sprung a
leak.
The tinker at once fell to work, ac
complished the task, was liberally re
warded, and started on his way rejoic
ing. Upon reaching the outside of
tire haw, he found the glazier, who
said—
"Well, you see, I told you tho
truth, I procured you the job of work,
and how do you think I accomplished
it?"
"I am sure 'cannot tell," replied the
tinker.
"I will tell
,you," rejoined the gla
zier; "you told me you were weary,
hungry and penniless. I knew the
landlord was well off and doing a good
business, so Lwatc•hcd the opportunity,
and started a leak in every tin utensil I
could get hold of."
The tinker, with many thanks and a
heart fall (if gratitude, resumed his
journey, but ho had not proceeded ma
ny yards before he reached the village
church, when a brilliant idea struck
him. The-glazier had befriended him
—he would befriend the glazier. The
church, he thought, could afford to bear
a slight loss in- a good cause, so taking
a position where he could not be seen,
he riddled every window in the edifice
with stones, and then, highly elated
with his exploit, he retraced his steps to
notify the glazier he would speedily
have a very important job.—He met
the glazier at the door of the tavern.
"Sir," said he, "I am happy to in
form you that fortune has enabled me to
return the kindness I received from you
an hour since."
"How so r" asked the glazier, pima
antiv.
"I have broken every pane of glass
in the church," answered the tinker,
"and you will, of course, be employed
to put them in again."
The glazier's jaw fell, and his face as
sumed a blanleexpression, us he said in
a tremulous tope—
"You don't mean that, do you!"
"Certainly," returned the tinker;
"there isn't a whole pane of glass in the
building. One good turn deserves *moth
er, you know."
"Yes," answered the glazier, in a
tone of utter despair, "but, you scoun
drel, you have twined me, for I keep the
church windows in repair by the year !"
*Es_ The Chicago papers expose a
heartless piece of extortion, practiced
by a man named Moore, landlord of the
Merchants' Hotel, Chicago, upon a poor
and friendless woman, who was on her
way, with three little children, from
Hudson, N. Y., to Fond du Lac, Wis
consin. For the privilege of sitting in
, the public room of his house, without
fire o
refreshment, a few hours, while
wait . g for the .Milwaukie train to start,
this Shylock charged and extorted four
dollato—all she had le ft . Complaint,
howiter, was made to the Police, and
the landlord reluctantly restored the
money. It is safe *to avoid a house
kept by such an unconscionable landlord.

and the wood of it peculiarly beautiful ;
it bears a kind of apple resembling a
golden pippin. The first looks very
tempting, and smelt very fragrant, but
to eat of it is instant death, and its sap
or juice is so poisonous that if a few drops
of it fall on the skin, it raises blisters,
andsommions great pain. The Indians
dip their arrows in this juice to poison
their enemies when they wound them.
Providence has so appointed it, that
one of these is never found, bat near it

nounced that one Professor &slung.%
would make a Balloon Ascension for •
the edification and amusement of tho
good people of Pottstown. The affair
was announced on the bills to take
place on Saturday last. According to
appointment, the Professor was oh'
hand with his balloon, but it aptmars •
the Gas Company were unable to ftir
nish him with a sufficient quantity or
gas to inflate the Balloon. After an an-
noying delay, he succeeded in getting it'
something more than one-third full 'of
gas, and, after divesting himself of all i
the extra weight he possibly could, 'he -
sprang aboard, cut the cords, and . nwnY l
he went'! But, lo: upon 'reaching' a,
height of about 50 feet, "der mersheeao"
was suddenly seized with a backWyd'
motion, and came down "kersouttel u ,
into the bosom of the venerable "Mara

A Dear Shot.—Daring the last win.:
ter a farmer in the upper part of the
county was solely annoyed by the 111=',
cursions of a neighbor's' cattle on
shocks of fodder. Forbearing fltm '
time to time, he was at length thorough - 1 ,
ly groused one of those bleak, snowy
days, with the announcement that hid
fallen dolefully on his ears half* dozen,
times before—that Mr. —'s cattle'
were eating up all his fodder. Without'
taking any thought, oar incensed far
mer seized his "rifle, powder and shot,"
and made forthwith for his stacks of
fodder. Loading as he went, lie felt in
his pocket for wadding, and without
looking at tlit paper, down he rammed
it. Raving reached the spot he fired
away, when all at once he felt soma
misgivings as to the character of the
wadding used. Subsequent examiah;
timi proved that he had used a small
roll of bank notes in his vest pocket of
the value of 8150. Rather a dear shot::

Another Clerical Delinquent—The%

that the Rev. D. L. Gear, of Lynn, has,
in their opinion, been proved guilty o f
lying, fornication, and finery. This :
is a deplorable state of things,
most every day brings to usinteffligerion,
that this or that member of the Clerical'
profession in New England has forgot
ten his duty to himself, his people, and:
his Maker, and has been tread'in'g the
dark path of infamy and shame. Di it
not time that those of our clergy
are jealous of the fair fame and ejllci a.;
tv of the Gospel ministry should exiit
themselves to purge from their ran if;
those lecherous wolves in sheep's cloth'',
ing, who are doing such fricaletilable
ah
jury to the cause of religion? In th4tie
zeal to point out the follies and sins in
the world around them, is it not proba
ble that they may have overlooked the
, •indiseretions" of their own class! We
suggest that in future it would be in
good taste for them to rebuke the 'rut =
dividual sins" of clerical delinquents, a -
well as to preach against every other'
form of vice.—Springfield Argus.
