The Inn '•who Kissed Three Girls
A young man who boarded

sels who seemed to imagine' that men are
tot riblecreatures t lwltore it was atLutipatdon
able sin to look at, was one alterWOon accost
ed by an acquaintance, and askiwl what he
thought of the young 'ladies with — whom he
beiat'ded ? Ile replied that they were very
shy and reseived.
•Sn they are,' returned the other, 'and 80
much so chat no gentltlreari could get near
enough to tell 1110 color al their 'eyes,'
'That trcY may 11414„ibia boarder, , yet
I will stake a million that I can kiss all three

'That 3 ou c•annot do? cried his friend ;
• an aelnevernent which neither you not
ny other roan can accomplish.'
The other was positive, and invite!' hie
ient, to the . house to witness"ilt's triumph.
'hey enterell ;he,,roonn,„together, ant i the
tree girls were all at itinme sitting Wsitle
their mother, and they looked prim and de
mure as John Rogers at the stake.
Our hero assumed a very grave aspect
even to dejection, and having frieged wist
fully at the clock, breathed a sigh as deep
as Algebra, and as long as a female dialogue
at a street door. Ws sipgular deportment
now attracted the attention otif , the , girle; who
cast their slow opening eyes up to his coun
tenance.- 'PerceivM,Ortrimpresiiorrhe - had
Made, he turned to his companirm and said,
it wants three minutes of the time.'
'Do you speak (*die dinner?' said the old
Indy, laying down her sewing work.
Winner?' said he with bewildered aspect,
and pointing . , as if unconsciously, with cutlet]
forefinger at tile clock..
A silence ensued, during which the female
part of Ilw household glared at thu young
man with-epi esSible cui iosity.
'You %%II ace me ifecently interred,' said
he vain turning to his friend.' '
I iis . triend was as much puzzled as •any- 1
body present, and ''iis - eitibatiassment added
to the intended Oleo ;. Wit thould lady befog
unable to contain herself, cried,
'Niro C—, pray what do you speak of ?'
'Nothimi.: iiaswered ha in a lugubrious
one : 'but last night a spirit appeared 1111bP
no !' Here the girls lose to their feet and
drew near. (And the spirit gave me warn-
INT that, t, exactly at - twelve
- o -- 1 - eult to-day, and you see it wants but half
a tnionte of, that time!'
The girls turned pale, and their hidden
sympathies were at once awakened for the
ycitilli. Thag.stone
spot, leroktng alternately at the clock and the
poor doomed youth. 'He then walked up to
the eldest of the girls, and taking .her by the
hand bade her a solemn farewell. He also
impripted a kiss upon her trembling lips,
which s:le did not attempt to resist. Abs therp
bade the seccmth and .third lareweVin the
same tender and affectionate , manner. His
object was achieved, and:. that moment the
clock struck tweivet 'Hereupon he looked
'around surprised,: and ejaculated,---!.' who
would . havq,believeti. ;that ; ,an apparition
would telt , stfrlta ? It wei'probably:the
gltost,ot Annanias or Sapphire.'
It was aortae time before the sober maid-.
ens understood the joked and.,when ,they
they evinced narasentinent: :The' first kiss
broke the ii e; and thb ghost, they.

This, however, is far fibril the truth fl is
well known that benevolence is a promin-.
ant trait in his character, and that it was his
constant ractice,to give liberally long belory
he Was ever thought of as, a' Candidate tor
office. As a farther proof of tfie falsity of
this charge, the writer knows of instances of
.his benevolence of which the public are ig
norant and, will ever remain so if hie wishes
are not disregarded. I would net hove made
his allusion were it not' that the opposite
party, ihroualt their organs, are constantly
attributing his benevolence to sinister :no
lives.
But it has been said that Geri. Irvin is an
aristocrat. This is the most silly and ridieu
lOUs charge to make against one who is far
thest removed from anything approaching
aristocracy. i. knoti that numerous letters
have been written to remote parts of the
State, giving a most lively and graphic de
serf ptionS, ol "palaces," "palisade," "splend
id equipage," "cast)y furniture,'-' and nom
emus of releras,-1 understand from ,the con
teats of there letters that it ,is desired the.
public shall infer he is a purse-proud arnto
cult. It sash an impression is sought to be
made thereby, it.mtt3 be. well ?nonfat to give
a true statement of his style of liying.--es ii
has been and as it now is.
For several yeats after he became a ouse
Milder, he was the tomtit of a one story log
house that had been built for the accommo
dation of a •niller who attended his father's
mill. He then built a plain stone house or
--oriiinary siie, and in the same style that

abcrve:this home was built for a nailer ern
'pinyed at the works... %Viten ho removed
thence a few years since, tie took up _his
cptarters in, the house in part of which—he
now resides. As this building has been
made a matter'of publicinteroiby his op
ponents, it map not : be amisem 'give some
account of it. r woUld not tlesse p it to notic e these things so foreign lb the issue, were it
not that they are magnified into matters of
great importance by the other party. The
house was built b: a mechanic of Bellefonte
according to his own plan, with the design
to occupy it himself, and for a time it was en ,
occupied. At preterit it is tuned as a board
ing house, of which Gen. Irvin And Iris lade
are patrons. A great portion of the ground
floor is taken up by two large Store rooms
and an office. 'rids, then, is thn immense
'castle, with towering turrets and. frowning
battlements, that has ffitured so conspicuous
- Iy - inthe - letters of political ennesporfrients.—
Put It jsit shear that "cosily furniture?"
I would respeetfnlly asst inh the responsibil
ity of inviting any one who is CM ions on that
subject, to-visa his rooms, and 1 can readily
lags the. look of surprise, after readmg those
flaming descripOons, at seeing theta jitst
such plain, ordinary furniture as may be
' , rued evilest of the residences ii the - same
wo. Thus stands his at istocracy, so far as
is evinced by his style of living.
And since we look in vain for a; istocrati
caliiess in his manner of living, where shall
smelt for it ? Is it visible:in. his
; social
intercourse ? Go ask the Workmen his
employ. Ask the laborer—the 'mechanic—•
it he shows any symptoms of aristocracy in
his intercourse with him and , he ,tell you •
it is seldom that you meet a man more
plain anibt unassuming in his manners.=
Wherein do the Members of the opposite
party see grounds for such charges? No
-whew butin their own fertileimaginations.-
It is useless foi them to make such assertions
any where within the bounds of Gen. Irvin's
MO
acquaintance but their object is fully -under
stood—they are intended exclusively for the
foreign- tnarltot... - The l y are by no means
profitable at hortie, h neighborlibod of the
manufactory. 'Such expedients if they were
even 'foifinded on fact,are but i Miele( us shifia
in a contest involving pubic principles.—

Various attempts have been made to proVe'
him unpopular in fikowri District • All the
ingenuity of figures has been called. into, re

cult problem. Let me - inquire into this Sub
ject - tor a moment, 'arid' when the facts are
correctly stated .we will- probably see :that .
there iti_asintleiruth.in_this_allegation-as-itt
some others that have 'appeared in the au
'benne columns Of the Locofoco papers.
Several years ago when the Militin Sys
iteni was in its glory, m 'Mary oflicei,althongh
by no means lueratfve, were nevertheless
eagerly sought after Gen. Irvin held sever
al offices in. the Militia Volunteer corps from
1821 to 1828. In the latter year he wail e
lectethßrigailier General, and in 1832 to the
office efltfajer General." Thus stands his un
popularity in military . affairs, and now let-us
see how• he has succeeded in the , civil. yle
'partment. •
fu 1838 he was first nominated by. the
Whigs ofllcis d!strict as a candidate for Con-.
gress, in opposition to W. Potter, Esq., a
gentleman eminent in ifs profession as a
lawyer, and of great personal popularity.„-
At the Previous Congressional election, in
1836, Mr. Peer received a majority over
'he , Wldg candidate of 1700'votes in the dU.-
hiet, but in 1838 Its majority over General
Irvin was but 222. In 1839, a special Rlec
'inn was held to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of r. Potter, When Gener; I Ir
vin was again placed upon- the Whig" ticket
its cpposition to Gen. McCullough, one of
•treirgeSt men in the district- At this e
lection the Loeofoco majority was reduced to
1 - 31, In 1840 Gen. 'lrvin was again nomin
ated by his party. and was opposed by Gen.
A.•l'. Wilson of Huntingdon county, a gen-
Alernan of known ability as a lawyer and
considered by his political friends as one of.,
the' most elegthle candidates, especially at
a time when personal popularity was an im
portant eqiisideration. ,The election resulted
-in-giVina Gen. Irvin a majority of 410 in the
district. In 1843, after' a tall opportunity had
been aflordeti vilest his merits, he again ap
peared before the people as a candidate for
reelection, and was opposed by Gen. Mc
Cullough, who had been elected over him in
1,839. The result of this election proved his
groWing popularity and the approbation of
his previous course by his constituents, his,
-majority being " 1336 voteit. It is well wor
thy of remark that in 1838 this district was
the only one in which ilte Whig vote for Con
eiessinan exceeded the vote for Goveinon.—
But his 'popularity, within his own county
which has always been considered one of
the strongest holds of Locolocoism, is still
more remarkable. In 1890 .Geii. Wilson's
majority in Centre county over 'Gen. brit)
was 625, being 169 votes less than the ma
jority of Van Buren over the lamented Har
rison. In 1841, Governor Porter's majority
in Cer ire county was 1774, but in 1843, Gen.
Irvin's majority in thq: same county. over
Gen McCullougli,vvas 3-12, making a change
of 1516 wiles since ilie election of Gevenior
Porter, in 1841. Hence it may be observed
how much r (truth there is in the Lneotoco
Irvin's unpopu
larity in his own district.
The lest- and most unfounded objection
which has been urge'd against him by his po-•
finical oppiinents is, that when tu Congress
he was nothing more, than ..1 yea and nay
member. lithe peolUe will take pains to ii.-
thrill themselves on this subject, they will
find That he was one of the most, efficient rep
resentatives that heis'ever been sent from this
dist' iet. He was active and zealous in his
effelti i to promote theanterests which he rep
resented, and it -Cannot. bb denied that lie
maintairiedan influential position iii Congres.
Soon rifle' he entered upon his office it be
came his duty to advocate the protective pol
icy, in which his native State,and particularly
the people of his own district were deeply in
terested. In the course of his efforts in that
behalf lie delivered a - speech, of which his
