Toni Tipp, the Man of Genius,
BY THE AUTHOR OF YANKEE NOTIONS
Tom Tipp .vas a great genius. His in
fant years were marked by uncommon
precocity of intellect. The same thing,
indeed, has been said of sundry other per
sons ; but in Tom's case we have the fact
upon unquestionable authority. The first
bent of his genius displayed itself by a
shrewd discovery in the science of bread
and butter. How many full grown peo
ple there are who cannot tell which side
of their bread is buttered! Yet Tom
found this out very soon after he cut his
teeth! As soon as lie grew bigger, he
grew more cunning, and was pronounced
as bright a child as you would see of a
summer's day. lie demolished picture
books, and smashed crockery, in a style
that showed he would speedily become a
"smart, enterprisingyoung man." These
anticipations were soon fulfilled. He
played truant, and beat the scliohnistress,
by the time the other boys had mastered
halt the alphabet. Need I say more?—
Every body called him a lad of - spirit, and
predicted he would make a noise in the
world.
It is not exactly known at what age he
first got into debt—that manly exploit
which is sure to mark the career of a man
of genius at a very early period. Let it
suffice, that he ran up scores in various
quarters, to the annoyance of his parents,
and the astonishment of the neighborlmod.
Other trifling school-boy pranks may be
passed over; "tricks had lie in him which
gentlemen have." At college, Tom kept
up his character; he robbed hen-roosts,
badgered the tutors, raised rebellions, set
fire to the college, and attained to the glo
ry of a speedy expulsion. A career so
brilliant at the outset promised great
things, and Tom was set down by all his
acquaintance as a lad of undoubted spirit
and genius. In truth, he thought as much
himself, and lie was determined to make
his fortune as soon as he had sown his
wild-oats. He had five thousand dollars
to begin
Two or three years did Tom spend in
admiring the smoothness oh his pantaloons,
as he walked up and down Broadway;
two or three morein cultivating whiskers;
:..zk two or three more ill cocking his hat
ovet the left ear. • He now thought him
self finished, and quite the thing; and all
the town called him a likely fellow. At
this critical moment, lie put his hand in
his pocket for a five dollar bill, and, to
his great surprise, found his pocket emp
ty. The other pocket was empty too, and
his surprise grew into astonishment when
a further scrutiny informed him that all
his cash was gone. "Five thousand Elul
leis!" exclaimed he in amazement; "and
it is all gone?" Echo answered—'Gone!'
Was ever a discovery more vial-apro
pos? An ordinary mortal would have
been overwhelmed by it; but Tom instant
ly bethought himself that he was a man of
genius, and this set all to rights. "I have
only to make my fortune," said he "that's
all. Yes, I'll make my fortune without
putting it off any lons•er; what signifies
waitingl" So saying, Tom went off to the
theatre, and thought no more about it.
• But a day or two afterwards, a tailor's
bill came staring him in the face. Tom
put his hand in his pocket wpm, and was
again reminded of his want of cash, and
Ills possession of genius. "Pshaw!" said
he, "I'll make my fortune—l'd quite for
got to do it; but it seems to be time now'
Tom, having said this, lighted his cigar
with the bill, pulled up his cravat, and
sallied forth upon a stroll.
Not many weeks afterwards came a
third remembrancer, in the more emphat
ic shape of a constable, with an awkward
looking scrap of paper. Tom got rid of
him with some difficulty; for constables
are a sort of folks that hold young men of
genius in no great respect. "Really,"
said Toin, "I must make my fortune; I
may as well do it now and have it over—
so let me think of it the first thing to-mor
row morning." With these words Tom
went oft' to "'hat's-his-name's, up the
street, and called for champagne and vs
iers.
Tom's fortune-making scheme appear
ed to be totally forgotten by him for three
months longer, and nobody can tell to
what extent his forgetfulness would have
run, had it not been disturbed by another
of those perverse accidents which seem to
be designed by the malignant fates to bo
, flier gentlemen of genius, likely fellows,
and such high-minded sublimities on two
legs, Tom was one evening lacing up his
pantaloons for a ball. "Not handsome,"
said he, as he looked in the glass—“but
killing genteel," At this moment the
cassimers gave way in a most disastrous
rent at the knee! "'Pother psi", then,"
said he; but alas! Tout had not another
pair! "Bahr' he exclaimed, "cash, cre
dit, and pantaloons gone! then I must
make my fortune, and so here goes:"
At these decisive worth Tom sat down
to make his fortune; and began to scratch
his head and think k t A man of genius has,

"In the hardware trade?"
"Not at all."

"By no means," returned Tom, grow
ing a little uneasy.
"Crockery?"
"Can't say it is."
"You tn't in the soap boiling way?"
"Never was."
"Speculating, I'll warrant."
"Not exactly," replied Tom, beginning
to feel quite alarmed at the oddity of those
queries; "I—l don't do much in the way
of business just now."
"Ah! I understand," said old Niggs,
with a knowing kind of a grin, and at the
same time laying down his newspaper.—
" Property all snug, living on your income!
Real estate? hey! or bank stock?"
Tom sat with his head bent considera•
bly forward during these awkward ques
tions. He felt a sort of fidgety embar
rassment quite usual for men of genius in
the presence of tallow-chandlers. He
fumbled with the tassel of his cane, and
taultered out a reply.
"Neither, sir; the fact is, that owing to
peculiar circumstances, my property has
,very considerably diminished of late, or
rather, I may say, entirely disappeared."
The movement of old Niggs at these
words, was to throw back his head with a
stare of unutterable astonishment. The
next was to let it fall again e ith a very
forcible sniffy expiration of breath through
the nose that spoke a whole volume of
language. His face instantly assumed
the most stubborn and stoical indifference
of expression, while he adjusted his spec
tacles with the greatest calmness, took i,l
his newspaper, crossed one leg over the
other, and pretended to study the fluctu
ations of Russia tallow with might and
main. There was no mistaking this de
meanor. Tom saw in an instant it was
all over with him. fie caught up his but
and rushed nut of the room.
Such a catastrophe as this he had never
so much as dreamed of. A man of geni
us to be without cash or credit, and not
able to get a tallow-chandler's daughter
for a wile! The thought was madness.
To-morrow the whole story would he
about town! "What is to become of ins?"
exclaimed Tom. "By heaven! 1 won't
live another hour in this rascally world!
I'll shoot myself! I'll hang myself I"
Tom, in his confusion, had quitted the
house by the wrong door, and at these
words found himself in the bac4-yard.
A well was before him, "I'll drown my
self !" said he, and jumped in.
Now drowning one's self is no joke al
though talking of it may be. Many a
man thinks better of his determination to
do it, in a short walk to the head of the
wharf. Tom did this in a short jump
down a well. Before he had fallen half
way, he caught at the rope, and hung
dangling for some minntes, till his strength
failed, and then he-gently slipped to the
bottom. Don't be frightened, reader, the
Dorothy's change of opinion on the sub•
ject of drowning, which took place in
transitu, did not prevent her from plum
ping souse into the water and utteiing a
moot unearthly scream at finding herself
in the arms of a man.
"In the name of heaven, who are you?
e man or a fish?" •
"Only your own dear Tom. Do I look
like a fish?"
"My blessed stns: wnhi how came you
here?"
"Jumped in out of pure dispair—meant
to drown myself."
"Poor fellow! ►don't die, I beg of you,
for my sake, don't."
"1 won't, indeed—besides, this drown
ing isn't exactly what it's cracked up to
be."
"Mercy on us! what shall we du'? '
How long they continued to ask each
other questions of this sort, we are unable
to state, but a tete-a-tete at the bottom of
a well must be long enough in all con
science, if it lasts but half a day. So
thought our two lovers, who just began to
feel serious apprehensions of being the
subject of a 'crowner's quest, when they
heard a noise above. It was the voice of
old Niggs. who approached the well, ex
claiming, in a most rueful tone, •
"I'm undone! undone! I won't live
to endure it."
"What, more drowning?" said Tom, id
greater astonishment than ever. "What
can ail the old puff"
"Lost ! lost! lost! lost!" exclaimed old
Niggs, leaning his head over, and looking
down in the well. •
"Ali, his daughter," said Toni, "how
he takes her loss to heart! kind, fatherly
old soul.
"My cash, my cash; I shall never see
it again," bawled out the old man.
"Nut in a well," replied Tom.
"Oh, that cursed Cape Flyaway Land
Company that I bought into—"
"And this cursed well !hat I jumped
into," said Tom.
drown myself! I'll drown, I'll
drown." With these words, old Niggs
caught hold of the rope, and went, hand
over list, down nearly to the bottom, when
Tom put a stop to his descent by a tre
mendous "halloo!"
'•Mercy preserve us," cried the old fel
low, "who's there?',
"An unfortunate man," said Toin.
"Land speculation?" demanded Niggs,
fearfully.
"No—a love speculation," replied Tom
"Olio, I think I know you. Caine here
to drown?"
"Exactly. And now I think we know
one another. You may drown if you see
fit, and then I'll take your daughter."
"1 think I won't," replied old Nigge,
"fur I've no doubt the company will pay
at least fifty per cent. I've thought bet
ter of it."
"Good," exclaimed Tom. "We'll all
live and be merry. You wouliNL

"For heaven's sake, never mention it,
