From the New Fork Mercury.]
During the winter of 186-, business
called me to D , a small obscure
village in the interior of Pennsylvania.
It was rather late in the evening
when I arrived there cold and hungry,
lor a tremendous snow storm was rag
ing at the time ; and as I had traveled!
far that day, it is no wonder that it was j
with feelings very near akin to satisfuc-;
lion that I had hailed the appearance •
■of the village inn, a small two story j
frame building, which loomed up in the
darkness before me. A bright log fire |
was blazing on the hearth, when I enter |
cd before which 1 was soon comfortably' j
seated with a glass of “something warm j
m my hand awaiting the preparation of j
the supper I had ordered.
The landlord of the “Beehive” (for sncii !
was the name of the inn) was a bustling !
good humored sort of a fellow whose
greatest delight seemed to consist in !
making his guests as comfortable as:
possible.
Before a small table were seated three
men whose appearance indicated them to
he farmers. One of them was a .small
rosy cheeked man choke full of fun and
good nature as his dancing eyes and
smiling face sufficiently testified while
ids broken English proved him to ho a
Dutchman.
“Veil, oe’ghpors,” he said, “I mnst pe
koin home now, or else mine goot frow
v ill veel pat about me. Ve'll triuk vonc
more an’ ten 1 ko.”
So saying lie called for some more ale;
drinking which ho settled with the land
lord and took his departure.
“Ever since our ‘Foi tuncteller’ has had
an heir, he hates to be away from home,’
said the host turning to the two men at
the table.
“What makes you call the man who
has just left a fortuneteller?” I asked
the landlord with some supprise.
“It is quite a funny story,” replied
mine host, “and if you like 1 will relate
it to you after you’ve had your supper.”
I assured him that it would give me
great pleasure; and as my supper was
now ready I fell to doing ample justice
to the savory viands of which it was
composed.
After 1 had satisfied my hunger I call
ed for a howl of punch and inviting the
landlord and his two companions to as
gist, l lit my mcrschautn, and settled my
self to listen to the promised story which
the landlord told as follows:
In a certain village not a hundred
miles from here there lived a Dutch farm
er named Duuderman, whose family con-!
stated of his wife an only son named]
Carl, who helped his father work on-the i
farm. Carl was an industrious sober
young man, who had reached the age of
twenty one without having been once
ten miles away from home ; so it is not
to be presumed that his knowledge or
experience was very extensive.
(Jail’s inevitable custom was to go
every evening as soon as his work was
done, and see Katrina Van Kleepper, the
daughter of a neighbor as handsome and ;
l uxom a lass as ever trod shoeleather.
While, he would sit and smoke with the i
old man talking about the crops and ]
the weather Katrina whould sit demure
ly by sewing or knitting as the case 1
might bo. Precisely when the clock
struck nine Carl was expected to leave. 1
But one night Carl instead of leaving
at nine as usual still lingered much to
the ?npprise of eld Van Klepper who af
ter waiting a few minutes without ( see
ing any signs of his leaving asked him
why he did not leave as ho wished to
shut up.
“Because neighbor Van Klepper, 1
vant to speak a vew worts mit you 1’
answered Car! rather sheepishly.
“Vet! fery goot! put vhy ton’t you,
pekin den ?” returned that worthy, pro :
cording to fill his pipe
“ Veil den neighbor Van Klep’per,” be ;
g3n Carl in rather a hesitating manner,
I loves your laughter Katrina, more as
never vas, and she loves me doo, an’ as
mine fader’s vann and year varm aljoiu
t links dat ve petter marry, so dat ven
faier and you tie de bioberty will sdav
in de vamilv I"
“Veil fery goot Carl” replied Van Klen
per, looking rather blank at being thus
summarily disposed of ; “put how much
monish yon got eh ?”
Carl put his hand in bis pocket and
idrew out an old leather wallet and pro
j ceeded to count its contents.
I "I kotshust two toller an’ sefendeen
inherits,” he replied carefully putting the
money back in his pocket.
“Dwo toilar you dundering pig vo#l 1
How de duyvel toes you cling dat you
1 gan marry a vrow mit only two dollar an
sefendeen shents ? Veu you kot dree
j hoontret tollars, an’ ask your fader may
Ibe lie kifbim do you, den you kin mar
! ry mit mine kirl; put not von dundering
! day before. An’ now goot night, an’
j ton’t gome here no more pefore you kit
jde monish. Gome den put no sooner.
I Poor Carl had nothing to do but comply
] and taok bis departure with a heavy
i heart ; for how to get so much money
| was a problem too difficult of solution
! for him.
i The next morning Carl looked as
wretched and woebegone as a broken
j down oil speculator. On his parents
anxiously enquiring as to what ailed
j Him he related what had taken place be
tween him and neighbor Van Klepper.
“Neighpor Van Klepper is shust right
responded his father, when he had con
eluded. “And I clinks that you pe old]
enough to go ami make your own vor
done. Don’t dink dat you kit anyding!
of me ven I tie, vor I dink dat I vil lif
more as hoontret years yet. Mine fader \
kif me noding ven 1 married, and’ your!
sadder do de same. I kif you dill* to j
morrow to stay here, an’ ven yon ton’t |
ko den avay. I’ll kick you avay.”
The wretched Carl, was thunderstruck ]
at the turn of affairs had taken ; lor in
spite oi his own and mothe’s remoustran !
cos his father was inexorable. So with
a heavy foreboding heart, he began to j
make preparations to leave his home fur
Heaven only knws where.
i Early the next morning, Carl was
| ready to leave; hia father gave him his
i blessing, while his mother—unknown to
j his father—gave him three dollars out
]of her own private savings, besides a
| loaf of bread and a small jug of butter
milk ; and thus fitted ou!; with a small
bundle swung cm a stick over his shoul
ders he started off with tears in his
] eyes.
Carl traveled on without meeting an
adventure of any kind till toward noon,
: when being both tired and hungry, he
sat down under a large tree that stood
on the roadside before a small cottage
and began an attach on his bread and
buttermilk. He had not been there long
however before ha was perceived by the
woman of the house, who c.nne out and
invited him to partake of dinner there.
Carl nothing loth accepted the invitation
and was soon seated before a weel spread
table, to the contents of which he paid
the most impartial attention.
During the meal, the woman, with the
curiosity peculiar to the country folks,
plied him with ali sorts of questions as
to where he came from and wither he !
was going ? all of which Carl answered
with the greatest good nature. In re
turn she gave him an account of all the
people living -around. Among other
things shr told him of a wealthy old mii
let- named Verplank who lived about six
miles from, there. He had married
a young and handsome wife of
whom he was very jealous and proud.
To make matters worse a handsome
nephew of his came to his house qnite
often and took Mrs. Verplank out riding
which brought the poor miller almost to
the verge of distinction.
Carl listened to her gossip for a Ion"
time with the greatest attention; then’,
being both refreshed and rested, he;
thanked the voinan for her hospitality,
and bade her farewell
Ce jogged along lor a few miles farther,
till lie came to a place where a vendue
sale was being held, lie looked ori for a !
while, and watched the progress of' the !
sale with great interest, till his eye was -
caught by three beehives; Carl had not j
seen a beehive.before and he examined;
the great curiosity. Asking a bystan '
dev what they contained lie was inform
ed that they contained bees—that hoes
made honey and wax—and other scraps
of natural history, which Carl heard
with the greatest amazement. The bees '
seemed to strike his fancy, for. he step- 1
ped up to the auctioneer and asked him
what he would charge for a peck of “dent ■
little gt itters ?’•
“VV e don’t sell bees by the measure,”
replied the functionary, laughing, ‘'but
only by the hive.”
Carl was very sorry and the auction
eer seeing his disappointment told him!
he would sell him a few to accommodate!
him. Taking the old candle box he
shook a number of the bees out of the !
hire and shutting up the box gave it to 1
Carl charging him three dollars for the i
same. Carl cheerfully paid the money j
and walked off with iiis prize as liappy
as a king amidst the laughter of Hie
crowd.
lbe shades of evening were begining j
to fall when Carl came in sight of Ver
plank’s mill and the miller was standing
in the door-way when he stepped up.
“Goot-efaning, Mr. Verplank ! how j
toos you to said Car! selling down his
box and accosting the miller.
The miller, whose perception was rath
er obtuse, surveyed Carl with the most
unbounded astonishment.
“How de duyvel t>>s you know dat
mine name ' crp'auk, cb ?'lie uttered'

in a voice of surprise.
“O, I knows eferyding pecanse I pea
vc.rduneteller !” returned Carl cooly.—
“Mine pox here dells me eferyding T
vanrs to know !”
“Gome dat is too goot! llow do duy
vel gan dat pox shbeak anyding I vauts
t > know t ’
; “0, ko to do dtinder ! tidn’t I del! you
i dat dis is a vordune-dellor pox ? Shust

I “Veil, den, dell me vat mine vife's
j name is, an’ vat she is toing shust now
] —den I peliefe, an’ py dimeter not pefore
; said the miller incredulously.
“De name ov your vise is Carlotta,
and’ shust now she is sharking mit your
nevy, Hans Verplank 1” cried Carl trium
phantly, removing hia head from the box
to which he had applied h s ear.
“Dander, blitzen an’ dousatid duyvels
exclaimed the miller in dismay. “Peel
zepub is in dat pox, by Cot!”
After recovering somewhat from his
astonishment ho asked Carl if he would
come with him to his honse adding as
an inducement that he would g-ivo him
three dollars and his supper' Carl told
him ho would if he would give him lodg
ing for the night also ; ami the miller
complying he accompanied him to his
house.
The miller chuckled with delight as
ho anticipated the dismay of his wife
when she would have her fondest se
crets revealed.
After supper, Carl confounded both
the miller and his wife by the revelation
he made by the pretended aid of the
miraculous box, for the woman at whose
house ho had dined had posted him pret
ty well in their affairs.
"I vi 11 kif you von hoontret dollars for
j dnt pox !” he exclaimed, thinking what
] a valuable acquisition it would be to
I him to ferret out his wife’s secrets,
j “No,” replied Carl; “I gunt sell dat
: pox vor it has peen in de family more as
! hoontret years ! Mine kieatkranfuder
kafo it do mine krantfuder ou his tying
pet and’ mate him shvoar neer to hart
mit it!
; “Veil den , I kif you dwo hoondert !”
he said, fearful if loosing such a chance.
“Carl reflected a few minutes.
‘I dell you vot I will do,” ho sai l at
last; “kif me dwo hoondert an’ vivty, an
I soil him to you.”
Although sorely against the grain the
miller closed the bargain much to the
displeasure of his wife who urged him
| not to make a fool of himself ; but this
1 only added fuel to the flame of the mil
] ler’s desire to possess the box aed he
! went to his bedroom and brought Carl
his money.
“No vendor mine irau toii’t vant me to
has dat pox 1” he muttered significantly,
as he counted out the money. “Put- how
vi 11 I understand de pox yen he and ilks
toil me?” he inquired.
Carl fold him to call him up early in
the mornisg and he would tell him.
At dayjireak the next morning, the
miller awakened Carl and told him to
get right up and show him how to un
derstand the box, for dat it vas dalking
like de duyvel 1” (The bees were buz
zing like a circular saw.)
“Veil ” said Carl, virst you must he in
a room mit yourself all alone an’den you
make a hut vire ; den you lock rle toor
and drow de key out de vindow and pull
your clothes off. Ven dat is tone smear
yourself all ofer mit molasses open de
pox an’ you fint him all out.”
So saving, Carl lmde the miller good
morning, and took his departure, mix
ions to place as much and stance as possi ;
hie between himself and that individual, j
The poor miller followed Carl’s direc- i
tions to the letter. The catastrophe that j
followed may !e imagined ; when he j
opened the box the bees rendered infnri-!
ate by being confined so long" attacked !
him on all sides 1 The wretched miller j
bellowed in agony and danced around j
the room like an Indian warrior. His
wifj hearing the uproar ran to the room,
hut finding it locked, she had lo get an!
axe to break it down; site was terror
stricken at the startling scene that burst
on her v iew; foi the yells of the agoniz
ed miller were something - awful to hear.
Running out of the room she soon re- [
turned with a broom with which she!
brushed the sweet insects from her]
lord.
It was fully a week before the poor
miller recovered from the effects of the
stings le had received. He promised!
his wife if she never would tell that he
would never be,jealous again.
Carl arrived at borne with his ill-got
ten money and his father was so well
pleased at his success that he gave him
tire additional fifty dollars thus enabling
him to marry his beloved Katrina with
whom he has lived in the greatest har
mony ever since.
