TUB MELtltillAla 1 It was indisputably certain that Giles Myrick was a mean man} The. fact Was patent all over Ilighwoodi It,bad passed into a proverb-r-‘,IAs mean as Giles My ,t rick . " Bat Giles came honc4tly by his pro clivity for meanness. His mother w,as celebrated; for the same quality. People said she, skiminedber milk on the top and then turned it ov,er and skimmed the bottom; that she skitamed, likewise, the water in which the parks were washed, and made. er children go barefoot cal winter evenings, for fear they would wear their stockingsout . l Ilut then other people besides Artenius[ Ward will be sarkastical," yen know. Any casual observer would have known that Giles was mean—only by looking' at him. The very, cat of his clothes iliTtdi eated.it. They were alWays as tight'as his skin to save cloth; aid his coat - Was usually buttoned up to conceal the ab-I settee of a vest.' Some evil minded per sons went so far ^.s to say that Giles wept without a shirt, and that his collar was the only linen article he allowed about his person. Giles was gOod, looking, and might have bcch somebody, if he had not been so mean that he couldn't! afford it. Of course all the girls avoid4d him. It is', a current belief that women like best those men who lead then] with presents, bnt it's our belief that they like. best thee men who have Ithe best principles-0— Whether they are, in the habit of patron izing jewelers, and bonbon manufacturers or not. Al true ,woman always shrinks 4 from coming in contact with meanness and cowardice; and the 'two attributes commonly go together.... It was a severe trial to Giles to - be obliged to buy anythie , ,, Not becanee he lacked the money, but because he en hated to part with it. He had been known to stand fOr half a . day in a store. trying to get a reduction I .ef three cents on a half dollar straw hat. He made his own boots, lest the shoemaker might take advantage of him, and his mother knit his Sunday gloves, because gloves cost so much ! He never eat.anything sweet, unless he was away from home, and drank no tea nor coffee.; they all cost money . ..! And besides, he always borrowed a news paper—which is, about as coficlusivaa proof of his meanness as can be offered... l ; At twenty-three the usual fate of hu manity befell our hero. Kity More came to Highwood to ! teach school, and Gils fell in love with her. Kitty was prettY, mischievous, anti coquettish, and lhati ar,od so well, that at their second meeting he was ready to worship her, in his own mean way. He had a vague idea that it was cus tomary for to to make their mistress.ds presents; but what would be proper he was quite at a to - conceive. He tholt of taking his white creeper hen over to Kitty, bt then the bird was sitting on twelve eggs, andl would probably hatch ten chickens, at least; and they would bring five dollars ,in the fall. That would never do ! Such ',extravagance would rain the whole My . rickfamily !! Then he.thiiit of a string of onions; 4link of sausage; a piece of spottedlcheeil; some new po tatoes; but nothing seemed to be just what 'was wanted.] • So he asked Sam. Smith what he gave his girl, Sam: said the last thing was kiss--the last but one, a belt - ribbon. •i Giles thought it over, and made up his mind to a belt ribbon.

COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 18E4. incur, and the next morning he was so excited and red in the face; tha his moth er insisted on his drinking some pepper mint tea to calm his nerves before he started. . He sold his wheat for . se7enty-five dol lars—tied bis horses, to a tree, and gave them the baiting of hay he had brought from home ; and then turned his steps toward a milliner's shop. He went in feeling very magnanimous, and fingering the ten cent piece he was so soon to be rid. of. His request to look at some belt rib bons was speedily complied with, and the counter was. strewn !with the glistening moire antique. He selected a gorgeous affair of red and yellow, with spots of green, and ordered three.quarters of a yard cut off, and wrap ped up. It was done. "What be the pricb of that gimcrack?" he inquired, pulling ;out his wallet. "Fifty cents—and cheap at that," re• plied the glib tongued milliner. "Fifty cents I" cried Giles, slapping his hands en his knees, "why it aint worth a sixpence T. Ketch me giving fifty cents for it I" He started for the, door in utter indig ' nation. "Stop, str," said the milliner, "it is cut off, and done up. You'll have to take it. We don't make children's bargains here." "I won't take it ! ; I won't be cheated out of half a dollar that way ! No sir ! not by a long chalk !' "But you must take it, sir I" "I can't give Fifty Cents, why it's aw ful ! I sot out to give it to a gal, if I could have got it for cinepence, or there abouts I ,he's .a, smart one, add When we're married, I could git t niuppenee worth out of her in odd jobs, raking' hay / and situ—but fifty cents I'd see her dunned fast:" And again Giles made for the door.— lie was excited and took the wrong apert ure, and instead of finding himself in the streets as he had expected, be Was in the work room, surrounded by pretty girls and crinoline, "Stop him, there, girls !" cried , the milliner, appearing at the door with a vard stick, "lie's tried to cheat me, out or fifty cents ! Don't let him; go ! Corner him !" Giles leaped frantically over, and into, band boxes, and bonnet frames, but the girls were is for the joke.;.and all egress, except by the windoW, was cut off. He caseone glance back at the irate face of the milliner—she was coming with the yardstick I it was sufficient to decide him. He dashed out the sash with one blow of his fist, and jumped through ! As bad luck would have it, lie alighted exactly in the arms, and in the basket, of a street market voman who was crying her tur nips and squashes about the streets; and the consequence wax, her very best squashef, and the fair proportions of her Shakerbonnet were knocked into a cocked hat ! -Of course .the woman was mad. It must be an angelic tempered female who can keen cool when her bonnet is smashed. She called on Giles to settle the dam ages or take the consequences. He pre ferred taking to giving, and took to his heels. The woman followed—a huge beet brandished in one band, and a mam moth turnip in the other—ready to an nihilate him as soon as she got near enough. Giles had little flesh to encumber him; and he ran more easily than his pursuer, wile was, slightly enboupo ; but fortune favored her, and Giles slipped down on a curbstone. In a moment she was upon him, lelaboring him with the beet—but only for a moment. He was upon his feet and off again before her wrath was half spent. -She took aim with the tur nip at his head, but she had not practiced much in projectiles, and the vegetable, instead of hitting the mark, went crash through Higgins' grocery window— sihashing two kerosene lamps, and a glass jar of patent cough candy ! And amid the uproar consequent thereon, Giles leaped over several small boys, some fences and gutters, heaps of coal and terrified women, and escaped !, But he had split his best coat entirely down the back, and lost his straw hat, that was new the fore going summer. His mother boxed his ears soundly, and sent him to bed supper less, and he dreamed, of the prison all night. The next day he was arrested' at the snit of the milliner, the market woman, and Higgins of the ,grocery ; and was obliged to pay ten dollars to save himself from jail. Yon may well guess that it was like parting soul and body. His mother kept him on half allowance for sir. weeks afterward, and he got so thin that one would have required a spy *glass to see his shadow, unless ,the sun had been remarkably brilliant. As for Kitty, he never desired to set eyes on her again. It was a long time -before he dared. to look at another woman, but at length Patty Jenks tame to Highwooci on a visit. She was a girl after his own heart, he 1 fondly believed—for if ho was mean she , was meaner. 11 Immediately he began Ito be attentive to Patty, and she being ithout a home had na objections to steping into the i "comfortable living" of th Myricks. So she , played her cards accordingly, and flattered Giles' weakness 'With the utmost , I skill. . . 9ii Christmas night there was to be a party at Hooker's Hotel lin Greenburg, twelve miles off—and all, the Highwood beaux and belles were d i n the qui ofpe. Giles felt as if he ought Ito take Patty, but4le'dreaded the expens . •Many sleep iis le.s nights he passed in n nsequence, and at last decided that it co - . d be managed. He could carry their/ supper in his pocket, and same oats fofr the horse in a bag, and go in the old sleigh to save wear ing, out the runners of the new one. The night was fine and cold, e4ceedingly bold, but; Giles did not take tie -buflalees, for fear the snow might fly o them and wet 'a the fur. .So they kept themselves as comfortable as they could with the horse blanket. , The party party was pleasant, all enjoyed themselves, even Giles. i When supper was announced he spok to Patty, and they vent out in the wodshed, where, by the light of the moo , they ate the . salt fish, doughnuts an cheese, that Giles had brought in his;pocket. A little after midnight, they started for borne, but had proceeded l i only about two miles, when the old sleigh parted—the top remaining behind, aud the bottom going on hoMe with the horse, at a 2-40 pace. • I , Patty and Giles were !deposited in a snow drift, from which • they , were fished out by the rest of the, play, and Patty was taken on board by some of her ac quaintances. Giles was lbft behind, and had the melancholy satisfhetion of walk ing ten miles in his, thin hoots, and freez ing., both• great toes neartvl,off. ' L Towardspring, he and Pattyconcluded to: be married. The young lady's friends warned her of tile • pecuniary. disposition of her intended, but Path smiled know ingly, and said she'd risk at. After she once got him fast, they might hang her, if s_he didn't maosge him! And as she had a red )lead, they said perhaps she would get the,' upper hand of him: They hoped so, anY way. The happy couple went o the house of Parson Palmer to be married. It was abolit three miles, but they walked, be cause the frozen ground Ore out horses • , shoes so. Giles had something dotie up in a bun dle Under hisurna; and Patty carried her wedding dress in a band box, so that it might not be soiled. It, was just dinner tim l e when They reached the Parson's, andlof course, he , could not avoid asking them to partake. , Mrs. Palmer said they eat!, tremendously for people just about to change their con- dition. -i AS soon as dinner was o I yer, they stood up, and the parson pedal-ed the cere mony in his best style. "Well, now, parson, tell us the dam age," said Giles, brating himself for the' shock. 1 ."One dollar is the legal, fee," blandly replied the parson; "but tie always take I just what our friends are !pleased to be- i stow." I 1 "Well, that's clever,", returned Giles, undding his bundle and diSplaying three link of sausage to the amazed minister, "I h l epe you'll accept thein ere. Times is hard, and it's pretty hard work totgit money, you know. And Pm obleeged to ye, besides, and so is Patti; good after noom" The parson stood aghast, bet his wife was it. reman of spirit; minister's wives always should be. They'ke sufficiently "put; upon" even then, pooi...souls. "Take your rubbish !" 84 cried, throw ing the bridal fee after tkem into the street. "You're the meanest man on'the footstool, and your sausaas are meaner than; you arc, if such a think is possible I" "Thank you," said Giles, "I'm real fond of sassingers. and here's enuff to cook three times." He sprang forward to iecover them, but the parson's dog forcstglied him, and made off with the plunder.l To this day ,Giles mourns ;about his loss. Patty kept her word. She did man age her husband. He is just as com pletely under her thumb as the worldas under the moon. She speeds his money recklessly; is the best dressed woman in town, and carries it with! a high hand, generally.

The following pithy and forcible pan agraphs, richly deserving every man's reading, are from the Albany Journal: There are but two parties that can make peace. The party headed by Val landigham and T. U. Seythour, because they will give the rebels what they ask, independence; and the party headed by Grant end Sherman, because they will compel them to grant what we ask, Union. Democracy says peace can only be ob tained by an armistice. The South say they will not accept an armistice. But the Democracy, nevertheless, insist on an armistice: What do they mean ? The rebels say they will not have peace except on the basis of independence.— Democracy says peace is attainable, and blame Lincoln formot obtaining it. There fore they blame him for not letting the South go, Democricy says the Union cannot be restored by war. The South says it can• hot be restored through peace. • Both are wrong. Peace and Union can only be restored through v.v. The Democracy blame Lincoln icy hot negotiating. The rebels will not aegoti• ate until the right of secession is acknowl edged. Therefore the Democracy blame Lincoln for not acknowledging the right of secession.. The Democracy says the South was driven out of the Union. Vice Presi dent Stephens says they were not. They had their ow 'n way in everything, and did notsecede on account of aggressions. AVe think he knows beet.• The South say they want inde - pend-I once. Democracy says they do not they want olavery. We think the South Inowl what they want. The South say they . will return to the Union when forced to, and not before. War, therefore, becomes the road to Peace an ctU nio n. The rebels will not necotiate until the I right of secession is ackowiedged. The i Democracy say we must negotiate any how. Their_meaniog is plain. GEN. 'FREMONT has withdrawn from the field as a Presidential candidate. We have always - regarded him as being too little of a demagogue and too much of a l patriot to , endanger the success of the! Government in this fearful struzgl i e for ezistence, by a faetious,opposition to the will of the majority. The field is now clear, and the people have but two can didates offered for their support. The issue is sharply defined; 'is Lincoln, and an united republic—or McClellan, and a country hurried into the vortex of the- terrible 'fate which has.made Mexico and the South American republics the theatres of incessant war.
