"—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUG'T 9, 1865. A GIRL THAT WOULD BE MARRIED AND WHY, Mr. "Watts Lad by industry ana economy accumulated a large property. He was a man of rather superior mind and acquirements but unfortunately became addicted to habits ot internpcence. Naturally fond of compa ny, and possessing superior conversational powers, his company was much sought, and he became eventually a sot. Ilis wife was a feeble woman, without much decision of char acter ; bu ian only child was the reverse, illustrating one of those singular laws of na ture, that the females oftenest take alter the father in character and personal peculiari ties, and the males after the mother- Mary was well aware of the consequences that would inevitably follow her father's course, and had used every exertion of per suasion and reason in her power, to induce hun to alter his habi<s, but without avail ; his resolutions and promises could not with stand temptation, and he pursued his own downward course, till the poor girl despaired of ref.no. and grievously realized what the end must result in. John Dunn was a young man from the East, possessed if a g<>od education, as all our New England boys arc, and their indom itable industry and perseverence, and was working on the farm of a neighb r by the month. Mary, on going on seme errand to the next hotie, met him on the road with the usua' salutation—"Good morning. Mr. Dunn.' "Gool morning, M'ss Waits. llow is your health ?" ' Well, I thank you, but to tell the truth, sick at heart," "Pray, what is the trouble 7" said John, "What can aff-ct you, a cheerful, lively girl Ike you, possessing everything that can make one hippy "On the contrary to make ire miserable, iam almost weary <.l life. Rut it i. a subject I cannot explain to you ; and yet I have sometimes thought I might." "Anything that I can do for you, Miss Watts, you may freely command." "Thai is promising more than you would be willing to perfum. B:t to break the ice at once, do von want a wife ?" "A wife! We'l. 1 dou't know. Do you want a husband ?" '<indecd 1 do. Die worst way. I don't know but you may think me bold, and defi cient in that maidenly modesty becoming a woman, but if mm knew my situation, ar.d the afflictions under which I suffer, I think it would be some excuse for my course." you thought of the consequenc ;s 7" said John—"my situation—l am poor—you are rich—l ara a stranger—and—" "Indeed I have, lam almost crazy. Let me explain—you and every one else know the unfortunate situation of my father. His habits are fixed beyond amendment. And his property is wasting like the dews before the sun. A lot of harpies ara drinking his very heart's blood, and ruin and misery are staring us in the face, We ore almost stran gers, it is t rue; but I have observeu you closely Your habits, your industry, and the care and prudence with which you have managed your employer's business, has always inter ested me." "And yet. my dear young lady; what can you know of mc to warrant in taking such an important step ?" "It is enough for me that I nm satisfied with your character and habits—your per son and manners. I am a woman and have eyes We are about the same age; so, if you know me and like me well enough to take me, there is my hand !" "And my dear Mary, there's mine, with all my heart in tt. Now, when do you de sire it to be settled !" "Now, this minute ; give me your arm, and we will go to Squire Benton'* ard have the bargain finished at once, I don't want to enter our house of distress again until I have one on whom I can iely to control and direct the affairs of mv disconsolate home, and to support n.e in my determination to turn over a new leaf in our domestic nff .'rs. "But not in this old hat, and in my shirt sleeves. Mary ?" "Yes—and I in my old sun bonnet arid dirfv apron. Tf you are content let it be done at once. T hope vnu will think Tam not so bard pm-hed as that comes tn ; but T want a master. Tam willing to he mis tress. 1 will then take you home and intro dnce you as my own dear husband—signed, sealed and delivered," "So be it—permit me tn sav, that T have always admired yon from the first minute I saw you, for your beauty and energy, and in dus'rv, and amiable deportment." "Now John, ; f that is sincere, this is the happiest moment of mv li'e, and trust our union will be long and happy. lam the on lv one mv fa'ber hears to ; but alas ! hip resolutions are like ropes of sand. I can manage birn on all other subjects ; yon must take charge of Ids business, and have sole control ; there will be no difficulty—l am confi lent of the result." Tbev were married and a more banpy ma'ch never as consummated. Evrrvthing prospered ; houses and harns were repaired, 1 fences and gat'-s were regulated, and the ex ! tensive fi"lds smiled and fl turished like an Eden. The unfortunate fa'her in a few years sank in'o a drunkard's graTe. Marv and ! John raised a large family, and they at til live i respected and wealthy—all from an energet- I tc girl's resolution, forthoughf, and courage. Fate oe Repi-blics.— Justice Story, in hi* "Commentaries on tie Constitution," allude 8 to the downfall of Republics, and furnishes thp following food for the digestion of the people of to day. Is it too late for the lesson? Perhaps not. Many reflections crowd upon the mind at the moment, many grateful reflections of the past and many anxious thoughts of the fu ture.- The past is secure. It is unalterable, The sea! of eternity is upon it. The wisdom which it has bestowed, cannot be obscured, neither can it be debased by human infirmi ty. The future is that which may well awa ken the most earnest Rolicitude both for the virtue and permanency of our republic. The fate of other republics, their rise, thtir pro gress, as written hut too legibly on the pages of history, if, indeed, they are not continually before us in the startling fragments of their ruin. Those republics have perished ; and have perished by their own hands. Pros perity had eneivated them; and a venal populace c msumated tneir destruction. The people, alternately the prey of military chief tains at home, and ambitious invaders abroad, have sometimes been cheated out of their lib erties by* servile demagogues sometime be trayed into a surrender of them b}- false pa riots ; ami sometimes they have willingly sold them for a price to the despot who has bidden highest lor his victims. They have warning voice of their best statesnv.n, and have persecu'ed and driven from (ffice their truest friends. They have listened to the counsels of fawning sycophants or base calumniators of ihe wise and good.— fhey have reverenced power more in its high abuses and summary movements than in Us calm and constitutional energy when it dis pensed blessings with ai\ unseen but literal hand. They have surrendered to faction what belong< dto the common interests and rights of the country. Patronage ard party, the triumph of an artful p< pular leader, and ihe discontents of a day have outweighed, in their view, all solid principles and institu tions (< government. Such is the melanchol ly lessons of the past history of republics, dowu to our own. SCENE IN AN AMERICAN COURT. There was a hush in the police court room as the red-nosed Judge to>>k his seat upon the bench, and in a pompous tone of authori ty shouted. ' I'jing the prisoner into court." ' H-re I nm, bound to blaze, as the spirit of turpentine said when it was all a fire," said the prisoner. "We'll take a little fire out of you. How do you live J" asked the judge. "I hain't particular, as ihe oyster said, when they asked him if he'd or fried." '.We don't want to know what the oyster said, or the spirit of turpentine either.-- What do you follow?" "Anything that comes in my way, as the locomotive said when she ran over a little nigger." "Don't care anything about the locomotive. What is your business ?" That's various, as the cat said when she stule the chicken off the table." If I hear any more absurd compari sons, I will give you twelvemonths." "I'm dune as the beef stake said to the cook," "Now sir, your punishment, shall depend on the shortness and correctness of your an swers. I suppose you live by going round the dock." No, sir, 1 can't go round the docks without a coat, and I han't got none." "Answer nie sir! How do yoa get your bread ?" "Sometimes at the baker's, and sometimes I eat taters." "No more of your stupid nonsense. How do you support your self? t ' "Sometimes on my legs, and some times on a chair. "II"W do you do?" "Pretty well, I thank you judge. llow do you do? "I shall have to commit you." "Well, vou've committed yourself first, that's one consolation." The prisoner went out of court with aj-rk, and was hastened to jail American Joe Miller. A BEE'S NFSTIN A MAN'S IIEAD.—Some visitors to the battle field of the Seven Pines last week picked up a remarkably well-developed skull, in which a colony of bees had built their home. It was evidently a last j r ear's nest, for the bees were gone, though the nest remained perfect. A soliloquy as touching as that pronounced by HiraUt over the skull of Yorick might be suggested by this skull, and the strange incident of its becoming the habitation of bees. Whose was it? Nobody knows. Yes, Romebody once knew the owner well, and some heart broke when he came not back from the bat tle. The skull that once, perchance, was ani maled by rare intelligence, that intelligence gone, becomes the resting place of bees.— 1 To what base use may we come at last." A WORD TO APPRENTICES.—Stick to your trade, boys, and learn how to work if you wish to be Independent. There is no more pitiable sight than a half learned mechanic app'yinr for work. He is alwavs at the foot of the b d, and labor aa he may, unless he has become perfect in his trade before he attains the agp f maturity, he can calculate on poverty as his portion, with a good deal of safety. Parents, if you wish well of your children, urge them to learn tbeir trades I proparly. Late South Carolina News, Our corresponbent at New York sends us the following : The letter from which the ex tracts ore taken is dated 17th July, and was written in The interior of South Carolina : 11 1 wish 1 had time to picture to you the present state of things in this State, especially the low country. will be able to tell you of this, however, and to explain the com. ing of that struggle which is impending,Tmean between the races .

"You say charming things to both of us,'' Ksid Madame de Siael to him ; which do you tine orsi r~~ lire w.lly statesman artfully replied ■ he was delighted with both. "Ah ! but you prefer one of us," continued Madame de Siajl ; "suppose we were both drowning in the Seine to-night, which of u would you help first 7" "1 would extend my right hand to Madam de 8ia)l, and my left hand to madam yon der." ''Yes; but supposeoHly oDe of us could be saved, which would you attempt to rescue?" Talleyrand's diplomacy was pushed to its severest test, put nut a whit discomposed, he turned to Madame de Stsel, and replied ''Madam, you who know most things, doubtless know how to swim." A WAGON BILLIARDS.— As a great many people don't know how to play billiards, we make way for a description of the game from the pen orDoesticks, in order that they may remain in ignorance no longer. lie says : "A gatne of billiards consists of pushing ivo ry balls about on a table covered with green cloth that IODKS like a half an acre of tneadow land with an India rubber fence around it. The balls are punched with long wooden ramrods, with wax on the little end to save the wood and leather Irom wearing out. You take your ramrod and rub some chalk on the trhte end ; then you lean over the table; then you sq'nt ; then you lift your log ; then tiddle a little on your left hand with your ramrod, then you punch your ball. If your hall hits the other man's hall, you've done a big thing, and you poke a lot of but tons that arc strung on a wire* This is all there is to a game of bill ards. Anybody can punch billiards ; 1 can, and may be you j can " At Lexington, the historic town of the Re volution, it is said that on the last "Fourth" Not a gun was fired, Not a bell was rung, Not a speech was go tide, Not a song was sung An Trish glasier was putting a pane of glass into a window, when a groom who was standing by, began joking him, telling him to put in plenty of putty. The Irishman bore the banter for some time, but at last silenced the tormentpr bv— "Arrah now, ho off wid ye, or ele I'll put a pain in yer head widont any putty !" .■ —' To have a fr ghtfui dream is a sign you ate too much supper. HINTS TO BATHTRS.— At this warm MMOI when|bathing is so popular,it i swill to obssrvo the following hints : On first plonging into the cold water there comes a shock which drives the blood to the central parts of the system. But immediately a reaction takes place, which is assisted by the exercise of swimming, producing, even in water of a low temperature, an agreeable warmth. The stay in the water should never be prolonged beyond the period of this excitement. If j the body be left while this warmth oontinnes and the body immediately dried, the healthy glow over the whole surface will be delight ful. To remain in the water after the firat re action is ovor produces s prolonged chilliness, a shrinking of the flesh, end a contraction of the skin, by no means favorable to health or enjoymeut; for it is only in water thorough ly warmed by the summer heats, where we may bathe for many hours with impunity. Certain precautions are necesaary. Mod erate exercise, by summoning into action the powers of the system, and quickeniog the circulation, is better than inactivity. We should never go into water immediately after a meal nor while the process of digestion ie going forward. Nor Rhouid we plunge into the water when violently heated, or in n state of profuse perspiration. Such impru dences are often fatal, especially if the water be unusually cold, If too warm, the temper ature of the body may be reduced by bathing the wrists and wetting the head. Before meals rather than after, and tape* cially before breakfast and before snpper, are proper seasons for bathing. The heats of the day are to be avoided, but in very hot weeth era bath is useful to cool the blood and se cure refreshing sleep. If in the middle of the day, a shaded place should be chosen, or the heat protected from the sun by being kept wet or by wearing a straw hat. PORTRAIT OF A REVEREND GOVERNOR It is an unprecedented thing, almost, if not quite, for a clergyman to be made Governor ola State. Parson Brownlow, however, hai been made Governor of Tennessee, and a cor respondent cf the F. Y. Mercury, who is per sonally acquainted with his Excellency,draws his pen and ink portrait thus : "A dusty, sallow man,— all gall and bins ter. He is Scotch Irish by birth, and a shou ting Methodist preacher by profession ; fierce rather than strong, an uncomfortable friend, and an ugly enemy. He is a tall and awk ward man, wi th large hands and shambling feet. Ilis provincialism is shocking and bis coarseness repulsive. The most "unchristian of preachers, he mades It a cardinal tin to forgive an enemy. His personalities are dia gestiogly original. He has some virtues— Tfi, Kn)| J ohn the same style of temperament, ou - , killed a fellow collegian." LOOK TO THE LITTLE ONES.—A great amount of the sickness that flesh is heir to at this season of the year, and from now to ths late autumn, is the result of eating unripo fruit. A reasonable quantity of ripe fruit will not injure any healthy person, but un fortunately the first installment of fruits that appear in the market is generally partially unripe at least. Already we notice children eating small apples plucked from the treeo bofore they have the least taste or flavor of apples about them. It requires s good atom* ach to digest such food this time of year, and if not digested sickness must be the result. LIFE OF AN EDITOR. —An editor may write at tides for years right along, which meet with your most dec : ded approbation, but you will give him no special praise for it. If be happens to write a few lines which you do not approve, you will get in a terrible rage, and declare you will never forgive him for it. What a peaceful and pleasant life an editor has. VOL. 5 NO- 1 GIRLS. — are two kinds of girla. One is the kind that appear best abroad— the girls that are good for balls, rides, parties visits, &c., and whose chief delight is in such things. The other is the kind that appears best at home. They differ widely In charac* ter. One is often a torment at home, the other a blessing ; one is a moth, consuming everything about her. The other a sunbeam, diffusing life and gladness to all around her. £3£* The Atlanta Intelligencer says that a friend relates to the editor this incident : "Coining, to Atlanta, on Monday last, 1 saw an old freed woman lying on the side of the road ,dend, and two younger ones standing by her remains. 1 asked what had been the matter with her. The reply from one of the girls was. "Sfce perish to d*l % sir : but she freed, dough." It is said the prettiest girls in Utah gtMT* ally marry young. py While an uproar is raised about giving darkio* s chance to vote they are dy* ing off for want of food. The ballot-tag is an excellent institution, but bread and tatter is better. a #t ■ tt S Slfj 11 • T "* Vs
