recommendation of tho following, tflnn to bo in
formed that it is from tlio tome gifted pen.
From till Pqrtlnud Advcrtisor.
. Since I came out in print about my sleigh ri
ding, und frolicking and courting, I lmvo entered
into the matrimonial state, end left ofTdabbling
in' tlio newspapers. Por a married man |ms u
character to talto care of. Rut folks tease and tor
ment me so much, to let ’em know tho pnnieli-
lars about my marriage, that I. don’t know but I
had as good’s set down, once for all, and tell tho
rest of my experience.
CHAPTER Hi;
THE MARRIAGE OF MR. JOHN DEEDI.E,
Wlion I left off my Bocond chapter, I believo 1
was spunking up to Sully Junes like all ven
geance, and threatening to givo her iho but end
of my sentimont“i was’nl 1? Well 1 was as
good as my word.; Tho next Sabbath day I went
right to work, after meeting, upon ihc outor mun,
as Deacon Carpenter says, and by sundown, tilings
looked about right. 1 .ay nothing; but when 1
stood up to tho glass, to linisb, and sort of titivnto
the hair und whiskers and so forth—I saw alitllu
fellow there, that looked yyicked. And says I, if
Sully .Jones knows which side of her, bread is
buttered—but no matter; slio slm’nt say I dlil’nt
give her. a oliunoo.
, Well,I went over to tho Suture's, pretty , welt
satisfied in my mind: so niter itutiering und Crow
ing about her n little while, 1 up and show, the
cloven foot,—” Sullyv says 1, “ will you hike me
for better or worsor T"
• Thisjipthor eo non.lrt-rlng j and Inara a floor-
Ish about the room, audeuta narley cuo with my
right foot. As much as to say—tuko your own
time.
At Inst, says slio, “ I'd as Jiv's have you ns
any body in tho world, John, but—J declare—1
cau't. ■
“ You can’t ha; nnd why I”
*• Cnus«.”
•' Cuuse what J”
4 “ Cause I can’t—and that’s enough. I would
in a minute, Julm, but lor only one reason ;—und
that 1 am afraid to tell ye.”
“Pub, poll,” says 1, “dent bo bashful; if
there's only one stump in the way, I guess bora's
afcllow——
“ Well tlicn, look tothcr way,. John, I can't
speak if you look, at me.”
“ O yes—there, ujw’s your time, says I, with
a fl.rt.” . •
“The reason is—Joe Bowers, tl;o stago driver.
Now, you sliati’i tell nobody, John, will ye.”.
! Who would huve thought this of Sally Jones!
It scctncd to me, the vary old Bov had got into
the woman. They fairly put mo to tho aouplush.
All this lime, my popularity with tlio ladies was
amoving. To see them fluttering and soft soup
ing mo nil nver, you woultl have sworn I had no
thing to do but to pick nnd choose.' I had as
muchgallunting to do as i wanted, ovary where;
and for politeness and gentility I never turnod mv
back to no mun. Tin n, they, were so thick lin'd
familiar with me, that they did’nt cnrbwhul they
said or did beforo mo: and finally whenever they
bad any errands or chores to do—who hut I was
tho favorito bird, m fetch and carry 1 1 was for
ever and evor nicing und cantering from post to
pillar, to do their biddings. Rain or shine, snow
or .mud; nothing stopped mo: and I may say, I
fairly corned their smiles, by tlio sweat of my
brow. Then, it was “ O Mr. Bcedlo! Whut
should,we.do. without Mr. Bcedlo 7” But when I
caught one aluna and hegnti to touch upon tho
matrimonial sentiments, then bow quick the Itinu
was changed! O tho ways of tho women uro cu
rious,
iPatty Bean was not tho first I run against by a
long shot. I never lust any tiling for want of ask
ing ; and I was plaguy apt to begin to talk ttirkoy,
always when 1 got sociable, if it wus only out of
politeness. Now and then one would promise,
and the fly oil - at then handle; bui most all contriv
ed some reason or other for giving me. tlio bag
to.hold. Olio had taken a' firm resolve never to
marry——no, never, never! and the next Sun
day morning she was published. Another chick-

But it was w long tedious business; before Him'

Ho ono uioriny day, 1 put my head down ugaimt

This raised my blood;.and I full so stuffy that 1
marched right straight oil', und never turned my
head to tho right or tlio left, till I wus failly home
and housed.
en thought she wus a great deal too young In m>-
dertuko to manage a family. - At last I took n
n great shine to the scbuol-irmrui, Huldah Horn
beam ; though site was ten years older than I, and
toller by half a yard of neck : ond when I offered
her heart and hand, slio fixed up her mouth, and
says she “ I've u great respect and esteem for
you, Mr. Becdlc, but—" and so forth. Nothing
will cool n man dawn quicker than “respect mid
esteem,” unless it is u wet blanket. But let IIul-
dah ulono: she hud her eye upon Deacon Car
penter all the time.
Well, as X wus going moping along home, from
Squiro Jane's, I fell in with Doctor Digley. The
Doctor saw in a minute that something was tho
matter, and ho went to work and pumped tho
wholo secret out of me. Then he soemed so
friendly that I up and told him all my experien
ces with Ihe women, from beginning to end.
“ Well John," says lie, “ I advise you now v jn
W:ait till the twenty nioth of February;—when Hie'
gals turn round uud court the fellAws. It’s none
of my business, hut, if I was you, I would’nt let
the women make a fool of me aoy more.”
Wellj I lobk a resolution ond Stuck to it firm;
lor when X onco set up my ebenezer, I am just
like a mountain. I stuck to it till alung pretty
well into January, when I hod to go.to singing
school. I mint go to singing school, for I was
lender in treble, and thcro was no carrying ori the
parts without me. But that was nothing, if it
lind’nt fell to my lot to go home with Hjmiab
Peabody, four times running. Politeness before
every tiling. Well, she kept growing prettier tmd

“O !” says, I “tis a 'sweet. pretty gownd—’’
says I .but—tho upshot of tlio manor is, Hnu
nail,—I have finally pbneluderi to Bet tip' Store
and get married, and settle niyseif down us a mer-

At tltis, Uutinuh hung down her head and guvo

. “.Guess.”
‘•I won’t guess, nor touch to, so tliero. now—I
never—!”
What I said nnd what sho said next, is all lost,
lor I'll bo shot it I ram remember, it is all buz buz
in my Itoiid like a dream. The first thing | know,
wo were right again Capt. I’rabimy’s barn, walk
ing as close together ns wo could, with comfort,
and our urms crossed round ouch others' waist.—
Hannah’s tongue had got .thawed out, and was
running like u brook iu u freshet, uud all one
steady stream ol hooey. 1 vow, Lwaa rchdy to
jump oat of my skin.
It was a mile and a half good, from aunt Mol
ly's to Capt. Peabody’s and' I thought wo had
bSXn about a minute on the road. So says I,
“Hannah, let's go 6etdown tinder the great apple
tree, and huvo a little chat,-just to taper ofi' the
evening.” Wo now set down, und began to talk
sensible. Wo settled all the pi-edii-aniHila of the
nuptial ceremony, and then talked over the store,
-till wo thonght wo saw Ourselves behind tlio coun
ter : I weighing and measuring and dickering ami
dealing out, and she, at the desk, pen in liuiul,
figuring up tho accounts. " And mind John,"
says she. "I am not n goiiig to trust overy body at
Iho corner, I tell ye.” But just as we were be
ginning to get sociable, us X though!, Haanaii
looks up, and suys she, “whut cun that are great
;rcnd streak' be, tn the sky,' away down tliero kp-
yond Snccarnp 7" “Irather guess,", says J, “it
Is a tits iu the woods.” Firo in tlio woods! I’ll
be skinned il it is'utday-liglit u coming. Quick,
Jolni, help trio into the wiuifow, before father is u
stirring, or here’ll by ri pretty how d’ye do."
Tlie next job was to tell tho news to Captain
Well, now, says I, my upplo cart is upset in
good earnest. And when lwcntioBr. Dingley
for comfort, says he, ” John, I wash my bunds
of (bis whole affair, from beginning to end. I
’must support my character, I urn a settled Doctor
