But when returns . the mild and gentle spring, With balmy breeze ; with fresh and bloom ing flowers, Perhaps, to hail the sweets she then will bring,. Again I'll - seek these lovely sylvan bowers,: The Price of a Wife. 'it would be .a curious speculation to trace the habits and customs whichliavo, from the earliest ages, and in all comm. helped to fasten upon us these sordid feelings which make marriage something like a gatubling, transaction ; in all barbarous nations the father of a girl conceived he had a right to some compensation froti; the husband for her services, and as a remuneration for the trouble and expense of, bringing her up. In the early histeiry of all nations in their uncivalized state, the custom prevail's : the vvoman is sold for a price: Among the Hebrews. and the Arabs the price paid to the father was sometimes very considerable. An ordinary price was five or six camels. and .if the bride was very beautiful, or highly connected (rank and station had their influence even in the earliest, ages.) the, fifty sheep or a mare and foal Were aided: At the Beige of Troy an accomplished lady was valued at four oxen. And: when Danaus found he could not get his , daughters' married, lie advertised that !be was ready to receive suitors for them without expecting any presents—that is, that he was ready to get rid, of thein at any price,or at no price. Among the savage tribes of our own days the custom prevails. The red man of America still bargains for his wife, _and the price varies Teem four horses down to a bottle of brandy. The Russians do not mince the matter as . more civilized na tions de, but when a marriage is proposed, the lover, accompanied by a friend, goes to the home of the bride and says to the mother—"show us your merchandize, we have got money." The Ancient Assyr ians deserve some credit for the custom they introduce ; every year they put all their , beauties up tb auctieu,and the prices that were giyenforthese were applied by way of a portion for those who were not beautiful. Thus all, of both sorts, got married; the 'one for their beauty the dther the fnoney whit:1111)00y not their own had gained for them. They made sensuality give a dowry to avarice; but still marriage was a lottery. Mr • C.

COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1862. A RUSE DE GUERRE. "Well, this don't pay!" exclaimed Har ry who was seated with his long legs dangling from the window.sill.— "There's that old fellow just going to pitch into. that enormous apple-pie, and there are sliced peaches and cream in abundance. Now, its bad enough, it strikes me, to be eaten up by the mosqui toes, and other varmints, too fearful to mention, not to speak of the intolerable heat, without the Tantalus-like punish ment of •seeing and hearing other people enjoy themselves, with not the remotest Chance of being asked to participate. It don't,pay, and I defy human nature to stand it, either !" "Its al! very well to say it don't pay," grumbled another, who answered to the nickname • of 'Growley,' and who was perched up on a cross-beam, something like a chicken roosting. "But what's to to be done There is no chabce.for rest —what, with the infernal •consin, cousin' of these mosquitoes, and there is no more whisky left to keep us awake; in short, as the poet elegantly expresses it—there's no nothing !" "That's so !" echoed the rest, who were in quire as bad a humor as their comrade 'Growley.' "And yet," continued he we must sit here"— • "Roost here, 'Grow ley,"' interrupted some one. . "Well, roost here, and roost here, list ening to the sounds of merriment in which we can take no art. I, for one, wont stand it, and aw for storming the house, carrying off th pretty daughter, hanging up - the old man, and kicking up the devil generally I" "No, no, no!" interrupted Harry S—, the first speaker. "Don't let us employ any violent means. I have an idea,—we will take gentle means to soften this old rebel's hcart—for . rebel I believe hint to be, though piofessing Union sentiments —we will charm him with music. 'Mu sic hath charms,' you know, 'to soothe the savage breast :' and we know that Orpheus braved even the dangers of hell through the magic of his lyre." "1 tell ybu what it- is,.-S--—,"---ery claimed a comrade, in a voice of mingled indignation and mockery, "you'se evident ly tight; I have suspected it all along, but now I'm certain of it ! The idea of making any iwpr.ession on the old rebel's hearti you might as well try to keep the devil from piling on the coal by playing him an air on the jewsbarp. As for that fable of Orpheus, I don't believe a word of it, and am under the strong conviction that the only lyre (liar) in the mat ter was the person who first invented the story." "For my part," interposed another, who had not, yet spoken, "I think Harry is right lOur involuntary and evideuly un willinghost is a German, and Germans, you kow, are all proverbially fond of music Besides, hasn't he been bawling himself hoarse all the evening with 'Was, ist das Deutcher Faterland,' &c., "I don't see any harm in trying, any how. We can, at most, but make 'the night hideous'—when, in self-defence. and if for nothing else but to stun, our mouths, he may be tempted to send as some of the good things visible on the sidebord yonder." "Well, strike up, then, whoever has any tune left in him," exclaimed Grow ley. "I'm sure I'm in for the good things for-I'm as hungry as a wolf." So saying, he gave a preparatory snort, that might have served as the introductory to a grand Indian scalp-dance. "By heavens, none of that !" exclaimed all in chorus. "Don't you join in, Grow 'ley, or you wilt have the old Dutchman vacate the premises altogether, and the pies and 'goodies' now visible, disappear ing up the chimney, like the magic sq per in a Christmas pantomime!" . "Well, blow-your own horn, then, ,for d—d if I'll help you any more," answered the indignant vocalist. "That's gratitude, that is ! After me doing all I could to mend matters, too. Well, well, republics are proverbially un grateful. and the soldiers of a ,republic are the most ungrateful of all created be Tugs Now you may let Harry sing for you!" "Yes, Harry, do you start it," now echoed from every aide. "Out with it, old boy !" Thus urged, Harry S—,who had re ally a fine voice, struck up a tune, in _which the rest joined with admirable ef feet, for, although the music might not have passed muster at the 'Academy,' we doubt if sweeter strains had ever before arisen and mingled with the moonlight air of that region, at least. But it is time to give an explanation of the period,' and circumstances of this midnight minstrelsy. The party assembled numbered. five, and they were all members of that splen did body of young men known as the 'An derson Troop,' and of which Philadelphia ie eo justly - proud. It teas just before the great battle of Antietam, and in their character of btlependent scouts they .had been out in search of information of the strength and whereabouts of the enemy— when, night approaching, they had been compelled to seek shelter at the farm house, in the cutbildings of whieh we find' them. Their host was, as has already been said, a German," and this particular evening, on which aur story opens, ap pears to have been a festive one with him. At least so judged our friends, as, dis mounting at the door, a savory smell of pies and puddings ,almost overpowered their famished senses. if so, however, the old German, with the natural reserve of his race, was not going to have any in truders in his festivities; so, hastily fur nishing them with a plain but substantial supper, he gave orders to his sole man servant to establigh them in part of the out-buildings. where their presence would not interfere with his frolic. There may have been another reason for this churlishness on the part of the oid gentlewan,for he had a very pretty daugh ter—the Fraulein Katrina, whose sigh teenth birthnight he was about to cele brate Now, Itatrina was a sweet and charm ing creature—made up of real living flesh and blood—none of your icy, sylh-like na tures or forms —but unsophisticated, warm-hearted, and impulsive. So, per haps the caution of the father, in not ad mitting five wild, but very good looking fellows beneath his family-tree was just as well. Our young friends, however, did not think so—as later, when established in' their comfortless, barn of a place, they, by reason of a window opposite, became dissatisfied witnessesof their host's fes tivities. Beside, the fair Katrina had al ready turned tha heads of wore than one of the party, a❑d each time as she flitted', by the open casement in search of some delicacy for herself or to replenish her father's plate, but added to the flame al ready lit within their over-susceptible hearts. Spurred on, then, by love and appetite, they determined, by singing a popular song, to make one last effort to soften the heart of the obdurate parent. - The -- first' , vers - of'their SonaliacT SeiiTee melted away in the balmy night air, when a form appeared at the window opposite. It was the charming Katrina; and lit up as wai her . Heb t e-like form, by the glowing lights within the room, with the dark outlines of the open casement for a frame she. presented as pretty a picture as one would wish to gaze upon. Rem brandt-like in effect, the singers were for the moment almost spell-b3und at the sight, but determining to charm her com pletely, they gave chorus in. fine style— just trilling ;the last line with a little touch of feeling that quite delighted them selves, even. They sang well—they were singing for their suppers; for well they khew that he who can but will not sing for his supper, does not deserve to have any. So t hey sang well, these young fel lows, inspired as they were by the savory sight of the apple tarts, and the graceful contour of the charming Katrina. This fair maiden, the while, was•leaning eagerly from the window, ber back to wards the singers, but her head turned around so as to catch the sweat sounds hafting towards her. papal" she cried at last, as the fi nal note of the chorus died away. "0, papa, who can that be ringing? H3w ,delightful to have a serenade, and on my birth-night, too !" "Ya !" answered 'papa,' with the ut most sangfroid, and demolishing at the Same time the last of the pie; "Ya. I tinks as how it must be de screech owls." "Oh, no, papa, it's real nice singing Why, surely you mit hear it ?" " r Ya, ya, now I duke I does hear some ting," answered the old Dutchman, roll ing towards the window like a perambu lating beer cask. "Ya, it's them fellows over der, dat makes all dish noise," he continued, as, having finished the last mouthful of the pie, he found \ time to think over the matter. "Ya ! dat's it. It'r them soldiers as come to-night for a night's lodgings." "But, papa," expostulated the maiden ] "what made you put them over there ? Why, didn't you give them a room in the house ?" "Ya! yrs! and have dem cut up de debil in de house. No, no. 1 knows what dese soldiers are !" "Oh, papa, I'm sure they are real nice persons. Now do have them over; do. There's a dear papa! They will make such a nice company for my birth-night; 1 declare it will be quite a party I" "Ya, ya !” exclaimed the old gentle man ; "dat's just de way with dese wo men-folks. Dey finks of nothing but parties and balls. Dat„ was just de way with my poor frow, who. is an angel now, so we hopes. But Pit see what can be done. John !" he continued, calling to• his servant man; "just you goes over dare and tells doss young gentlemen dey please walk over here." Nowt as, every word of this =versa- MI Lion had been distinctly heard by the ea• ger group clustered together in the little hay-loft, it may be readily understood that John, on his appearante found them fully prepared to accompany them forthwith. So, In a few moments, they were 'nicely seated iu the : best parlor of the *Orthy German, with the pretty Miss Katripa pouring out large tumblers full of deli cious currant-wine of tier own making. The evening thus happily inaugurated, things were now going ou most ,swim iningly, when the tramping of many hor ses was beard, and a body of cavalry rode up to thy honse. By the noise wade, it was evident that the troop, whatever it might be, ,was quite considerable, and not knowing ' whether they were friends or enemies, it was deemed expe dient that our small band of heroes should conceal themselves, to await further de velopment, for in their eagerness to ob tain some knowledge of the enemy. our little party Ivere-now far beyond the Union "lines," and what is called "neutral ground," that wasus likely to be traversed by the enemy as by their own forces.— "An ounce of prevention is worth= a pound of cure," says an old proverb, and although much against their wishes ; our five friends could not but concede to the wisdom of the fair Katrina, who insisted upon hiding them, until at least the mo tives and chatacter of the strangers could be discovered This needed but little time to evince --for soon•the loud oaths•and boisterous voices of a numerous body of Men rang through the old house—while their) con versation showed them to be rebels. For. tut:lately the horses of our friends had been turned out into a distant field on their arrival, so that this means of detec, tion was removed—for, had their horses been in the stables, their presence must have been instantly dieoiered. From where they were concealed our party could see a rebel officer and soldiers enter the little parlor which they had just left—and could see them eating the re mains of the good things with which they had fondly.hoped to till the still:existing cavities of their unappeasable stomachs. Of the rebels there were about twenty, tfue of show had b - een Tiifi - as a guard ht the outside door of the farm-house, and. feeling perfectly secure, they now gave themselves entirely to the business of de. =fishing the pretty little latrina's pies and cakes, evidently very much to the girl's complete disgust. • New it may readily be understood that our brave boys of the Anderson-Troop bad no idea .of standing there quietly while the rebel gluttons filled their vile carcases. Vortunately the room in which they had been so unceremoniously thrust, on the approach of the rebel cavalry, was , a corner one containina e windows at the side • after a whispered consultation, then, it was determined that they should let themselves drop from one of these win dows upon the soft sward which surround ed the house. This they did, unikbseived, while the rebel soldier, who had been left to keep guard, was pacing in front of the house. The next thin teas to surprise and overcome this not over wary ;fintrdian, and this was done so noiselessly that those inside the house Were not a whit the wiser. Our heroes might now have escaped in safety, but a grand idea seized them, and they determined to practise a trick upon the too-confident enemy, that 'if success ful, would place them entirely at their mercy. Fortunately for the furtherance of this ruse de guerre, one of the party was familiar with the bugle, so' that he was enabled to make a- proper use of the one left by the rebel bugler at the saddle bow—most luckily, too, the moon had bidden herself behind a heavy mass of clouds, leaving but little light to betray their stratagem. So leading the horses of the enemy which had been carelessly fastened in front of the house, cautiously away, taking care the while, that their footfalls were muffled 'by the mossy sod —they got them sonic distance from the house, when, each mounting a horse and leading two others, they charged with sa bres( clanking, and bugle sounding ' up be fore the house. The rebel crew, surprised, and itnmag join( that the Federalists were in force, attempted to rush down stairs and gain their horses; but iu vain, at the foot of the stairs they were met by the gallant Anderson boys, who owing to the con,fined and startled vision of the surprised rebels, looked to them like a whole host of Fed crals sent down to trap them. So. de ceived by the uncertain light, as well as by the heavy tramp of numerous horses, which they had heard, they did not doubt for a moment brat that they were sur rounded. This idea was heightened by orders, given in a loud tone, by the bold authors of the rase to their imaginary fol lowers, to guard every avenue of escape, and -'shoot the d—d rascals if they darLd to show their heads," also, by' a bugle. call in the distance, which yet mounded far and near. • This last addition , - to the TERRp.--$l.OO PER 4N.NWAS ruse, as may be supposed, was the work of the amateur bugler of the party, who in meantime had started off again full-tilt, and having 'attained - a goodly dis tance) had• blown a blast upon his bugle with all his might: This Succeeded to admiration; for conceiving that it leas the announcement of the arrival of a fiesh body of; Federal soldiery, they at once threw down their arms, and defiling mit one by one s were each securely bound succesSion, before they had time eveb to wisp* the shrewd trick which had been practiscd upon them ; but, when they did, WC oaths and vows of vengeance of the deceived party were fearful to bear— for, twenty men in all, they jowled that tiny had been surrounded - by but a fourth of their number. But it was too late now, for their captors were iu fl2ll sessiou i and to the proud chivalrfa,.,im , mense mortilleation they were starfa of towards the Union "lines," by the brave Anderson boys ) amid the unttstrainablo laughter of the fair Katrina ) who delight= ed at the ruse ) and quite captivated by the daiing fellows who had practised iti was, as all good girls should be i intensely and emphatically fur ' !The waled of hearts, the drlicin of hadds— ,.
