Squire Jones’ pew is next but two to mine;
nrm when 1 stand up to prayers, take my coat
tail under my arm, and turn my back to the min
ister, I naturally look right at Sally Jones. Now
Sally has got a face not to be grinned at, in a
fog. Indeed as regards beauty some folks think
she can pull an even yoke with Fatty Bean.
For my part, 1 think there is not much, boot be
tween them. Any how they are so nigh match
ed that they have hated and despised each other,
«ank poison, ever since they were school
jirc Jones had got his evening fire on and
rnself down to reading the great Bible,
when he heard a at his door. —“Walk in.—
Well John how der do? Get out Pompy. —Pretty
well, I thank ye, Squire,and how do you do?
Why so as to he crawling —ye ugly beast, will
you hold you yop —haul up a chair and set
down John.” S
“ How do you do, Mrs Jones ?” O, midlin,’
how’s marm? Don’t forget the mat there, Mr.
Beedle.” This put me in mind that I had been
1 off sounding several times in the long muddy
‘ lane ; and my boots were in a sweet pickle.
The dog stretched himself helore one andiron,
f the cat squat down before the other. Silence
[ came by degrees like a calm snow storm, till
nothing was neard but acrioketundertiiehearth,
keeping tune with a supply yellow birch fore
stick. Sally set up prim, as if she weie pined
to the chair back; her hands crossed gently
’ across her lay, and her eyes looking straight in
to the fire. Mammy Jones tried to straighten
herself too, and laid her hand across her lap.
But they would not lay still. It was lull twen
ty-four hours since they had done any work,
and they were out of all patience with keeping
Sunday. Do what she would to keep them quiet
they would bounce up now and then and go
through the motions, in spite of the fourth com
mandment. For my part I sat looking very
much like a fool. The more I tried to say
something the more my tongue stuck last: 1 put
my right leg over my left and said hem ; then 1
changed and put the left over the right, it was
no use ; the silence kept coming on thicker and
thicker. The drops of sweat began to crawl all
over me. I got my eyes wpon my hat, hanging
on u peg near the door ; and then 1 eyed the door.
At this moment, ihe old captain, all at once sung
'out* Johny Beedle i’ it sounded like a clap ol
thunder, 1 started right up an end.
“ Johny Beedle, you’ll never handle sitch a
drumstick as your lather did, if yer live to the
age of Mcthusaler. lie would toss up his drum
stick and while it was whirlin' in.the air, take
off a gill er rum and then ketch it as b come down
without losing a stroke in tiie tune. W hat do you
think of that ha ? But scull your chair round,
close long side er me, so yer can hear. Now
what have you come arter ? ‘Uh jest taken a
walk ; Pleasant walkin’ 1 guess; 1 mean jest
to see how ye all do “ Ho—That s another
lie. You’ve come a courtin,’ Johny Beedle ;
ve’re a’ter our Sal. Say ; d’ye want to marry
or only to court V
This was what I cull a choaker. Poor Sally
made but one jump and landed in the middle ol
the kitchen : and then she skulked in the dark
corner, till the old man, after laughing himself
into a whooping cough, was put to bed.
Then came the apples and cider ; and the ice
being broke, plenty ciiat with mammy Jones
about the minister and the “sarmon.” 1 agreed
with her to nicety, upon all i«j points of doc
trine ; but I had forgot the text. Then she team
ed and tormented me to tell who 1 accounted to
be the best singer in the galary, that day. But
mum, there is no getting that out of me. “ Praise
to the face is often disgrace,” say I, throwing a
sly squint at Sally.
At last Mrs. Jones lighted t’other candle, and
after charging Sally to look well to the fire, she
led the way to bed and the squire gathered up his
shoes and stockings and followed.
Sallv and 1 were left sitting a good yard apart,
honest measure. For fear of gelling tongue tied
again, I set right in, with a steady stream of
talk. 1 told her all the particulars about the
weather that was past, and also made some pret
ty cute guesses at what it was likely to be in fu
ture. At first I gave a hitch up wish my chair
at every full stop. Then growing saucy 1 re
peated it at every comma and semi colon ; and
at last it was hitch, hitch, hitch, and planted
myself fast by her side.
“ I vow, Sally, you looked soplaguey hand
som to-day, that 1 wanted to eat you up.
*• Pashaw, get along you,” says s ic. My hand
had crept along some how upon its lingers, and
began to scrape acquaintance with hers. She
sent it home again, with a desperate jerk. “ 1 ry
it again”—no better luck. “ W hy, Miss Jones,
vou’re getting rather upstropolos; a little old
maidish, I guess.’ “ Hands off, is fair play,
I Mr. Beedle.”
it is a good sign to find a girl sulky. I knew
where the shoe pinched, it was that Patty
Bean business. So I went to work to persuade
her that I never had any notion after Patty, and
to prove it, I fell to running her down at a great
rate. Sally could not help chiming in with me
and I rather guess Miss Patty sutfered a few.
I now not only got hold of her hand without
opposition, but managed to slip my arm around
her waist. But there was no satisfying me ;
so I must go to poking out my lips after a buss.
I guess I rued it. She fetched me a slap in the
face and made mb see stars, and my ears rung
like a brass ketde fora quarter of an hour. I
was forced to laugh at the joke, though oiit oi
. the wrong side of my mouth, which gave my
5 face something the look of a gridiron.
’ The battle now’ began in the regular way.
“Ah, Sally, give me a kiss, and ha’done with
it, now.”—“l won’t, so there, nor teech to.”
“I’ll take it whether or no.” “Do it if you dare.”
And at it we went rough and tumble. An odd
- destruction of starch now commenced. Jhe
bow cf my cravat was shut up in half a shake.
At the next bout, smash went shirt collar, and
at the same time, some of the head fastenings
gave way, and down came Sally’s hair in a flood,
like a mill dam broke lose, carryingaway half
a dozen combs. One dig es Sally’s elbow, and
mv blooming ruffles wilted down to a dish clolh.
—But she had no time to boast. Soon her neck
tacklin began to shiver. It parted at the throat,
and woorah, came a whole school of blue and
white beads, scampering and running races eve
ry which way about the floor.
By the hokey; ifSal Jones isn’t real grit,
there’s no snakes. She fought fair, however, I
must own, and neither tried to bite or scratch ;
and when she could fight no longer for want of
breath she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell
down by her sides, her head back over the
chair, her eyes closed, and there lay a little
plump mouth all in the air. Lord ! did you ev
er see a hawk bounce upon a red robbin! Or
a humble-bee upon a clover lop? I say nothing.
(Joncarn it how a buss will crack, of a still
frosty night. Mrs. Jones was about half way
between asleep and awake. “There goes my
yeast bottle,” says she Jo herself, hurst into
twenty hundred pieces, and my bread dough #
again.”
The upshot of the matter is, I fell in love
with Sally Jones, head over ears. Every Sun
day night, rain or shine, finds me rapping at
Squire Jones’ door, and twenty times have f
been within a hair’s breadth of popping the
question.— Portland Advertiser.
ROMANTIC.
“ 1 recollect a pretty incident, which may not
be uninteresting to the reader. A wild young
fellow married a lovely girl, and having been
long addicted to habits ol dissipation, even the
sincere a tachment which he entertained towards
fits wife could not entirely distangle him from its
snares. Mis occasional irregular hours would
have given any but one of so pure and sweet a
disposition, every reason to suspect that she did
not hold that place in his affections which was
her right; but this reflection scarcely ever in
truded upon her spirits. The husband was far
from being cruel, and really loved her, but his
disposition was weak and his companions elo
quent, and beseemed to glow worse rather than
better in his habits. It happened once that he
was called out of tour, and in his haste left be
hind him a letter, in which, to please an unprin
cipled friend, he had spoken of his wife in terms
of carelessness, if not of derision, and dilated
freely upon his general course of life, imagine
the anxiety andsuspense of the startled profligate
when he found himself borne by a rapid steam
boat upon a journey which must necessarily be
of several days duration, yet remembering dis
tinctly that the fatal letter was left exposed and
unsealed upon his wife’s table. He recollected
too, with a pang, that he had wantonly, in an
swer to her inquiries, boasted that it contained a
profound secret which he would not have reveal
ed forthe world.—He paced the deck in an agony
of disappointment and shame. He pictured her
opening the letter, and turning pale with horror
and indignation ; perhaps fainting with anguish;
alarming the servants ; flying to her lather—
renouncing him forever. As soon as possible he
relumed, but wiih a sinking heart, to his dwell
ing, bracing himself up to meet the fury of an
enraged and wretched woman. He opened the
door softly. She was bending over her table
busily writing. A placid smile sealed her mouth
with a perfect beauty, and spread over her glow
ing features the mild expression of peace and
joy ; and even as she wrote, the fragment ol a
sweet ballad fell from her lips in a low music,
that flows only from a heart entirely at rest.
• The husband stole noiselessly around, and read,
as her pen traced her gentle thoughts :
“‘Your letter is lying by me. Th e very, very
letter containing the ‘profound secret.’ Now
could I punish you for your carelessness; but,
my clearest Charles, how could 1 look you in the
face on your return, after having basely violat
ed your trust in my integrity, and meanly sought
to gratify a silly curiosity at the expense of
honesty, delicacy, and confidence. No. The
letter is unopened, and lest you should feel un
easy, I enclose it to you, with the sincere love
of your affectionate wife, &c.’
“‘What an angel !’ uttered the conscience
stricken husband.
“ ;She started up with a cry of pleasure —and
as Charles met the light ofher clear, unshrink
ing eyes, he was humbled that he should have
suspected her, and deeply struck with repentance
at ins own conduct. He thenceforth severed
• all ties t.ial drew him abroad ; and if the pure
and happy being whose influence had thus allur
ed him to the path of right had perused all his
subsequent letters, she would have found noth
concerning herself, save bursts of tne s ucerest
admiration and the warmest love.*
A short way to be Married. —A young couple
went, not long since, into the study of a late
Judge of our Supreme Court, who, by virtue of a
commission as Justice of the Peace, was author
■ ised to solemnise marriages, and desired him to
i marry them. ‘Very well,’ said his honor,
1 whom they found vvrilting, ‘pass me your certiti
i cate and you may go.’ -.The man handed a cer
tificate that the bands had been published, but
, remained.—The Judge continued his employ,
i ment, until the impatient bride-groom again an
, nouneed the intention of his visit. ‘Very well,’
said the Judge, and again pursued his task. As
• ter some further delay, the neglect d applicants
■ once more reminded his honor of their desire to
> be married. ‘Why, go home,’ said th? magis
-1 trate, ‘you have beeii married this half hour.’
t And it was true. The law only requires an ac
; knowledgment of intention before a Justice of
, the Peace, and a recognition of that intention
; by the Justice in his official capacity. There is
I no form of words necessary iO the purpose, nor
: an T . ceremony, other than a simple declaration,
. which the Judge did not permit for a moment to
; disturb his meditation. —Ohio Examiner.
From Badger's Messenger.
THE SLANDERER.
Against slander there is no defence —Hell
cannot boa st so foul a fiend, nor man deplore
so fell a (b»;. It slabs with a word, with a nod
—with ash rug—with a look—with a smile. It
is pestilence walking in darkness, spreading
contagion w ide, and which the most weary trav
eller cannot avoid; it is the heart-searching
dagger of the dark assassin. It is the poisoned
arrow; whose wounds are incurable ; it is the
deadly adder; murder its employment, inno
cence its prey, and ruin its sport.
The man who breaks into my dwelling or
meets me on the public road, and robs me of my
property, does me injury. He stops me on my
way to wealth, strip:; mo of my hard-earned sa
vings ; involves me in difficulty, and brings my
family to penury and want. But he does mean
injury that can be moHred. Industry and
economy may again bring me to circumstances
of case and affluence; smiles of gratitude may
yet play upon the cheeks of my offspring, as
they receive the small token of parental love.
The man who comes at midnight hour and
fires my dwelling, does me an injury—he burns
mv pillow, my raiment, my very shelter from
the storm and tempest; but he does me an inju
ry that can be repaired. The storm may in
deed beat upon me, and chilling blasts.assail me ;
but chiw ity will receive me into her dwelling,
will give me food to'eat and raiment to put on,
will timely assist me in raising a new roof over
the ashes of the old, and I shall again sit by mv
7 # J ,** I
own fireside, and taste the sweets of friendship
and of' home.
But the man who circulates false reports con
cerning my character’; who exposes every act
of my life which can be represented to my dis
advantage; who goes first to this then to that .
neighbor, tells them he is very tender of my
reputation, enjoins upon them the strictest se
crecy, and then fills their ears with hearsays
and rumours ; and what is worse, leaves them '
to'dwell upon the hints and suggestions of his
own busy imagination. The man who in this
way, “ filches from me my good name,” does
me an injury which neither industry, nor chari
ty, nor time itself can repair. He has ledd his
tale of slander to an uncharitable world. Some
receive it as truth, others suspect the half is not
told to them : and others dress what they have
heard in the highest coloring, add toil the foul
calumny of their own inventions and proclaim
it at the corners of the streets and on the house
tops. Should I prove myself innocent, and at
tempt to meet the scandal with contradiction,
the story of my disgrace outstrips me, and so
liciuide to contradict it excites suspicion of guilt.
Should the slanderer confess his crime, the blot
is made, and his tears of repentance cannot
wash it out. I might as well attempt to recall
the winds or quench the stars, as to recall the in
famy, or wipe the fold disgrace from my cha
racier.
I attach a high value to my fellow men. I
cannot, but wish that while 1 live among them, 1
may hold a place in their affections and be
treated with the respect which is due my station.
“A good name is rather to be chosen than great
riches,” or than “precious ointment.”
“ ’Tis the immediate jewel of the soul.
The purest treasure mortal times afford.”
Give me this, and 1 can lace the frowns of
fortune—can be pointed at as the child of puv
rety, and still know what it is to be happy.
'Bake this away, and you strike a dagger into
my soul, you render life itself a burden. The
frowns of a world, the finger of scorn, and the
hiss of contempt, are more than a man can en
dure.
Yet dear ns reputation is, “and in my soul’s
just estima.ion prized above all price,' 5 it is not
too sacred for the slanderer to tarnish and de
stroy. He can take from me the confidence of
my employers, the respect of my. friends; can
blast my reputation with his pestilential breath
and feel not a pang of remorse. He glories,
in nothing so much as in the slaughter. He
would blight the fairest flower in the garden oi
innocence, demolish the loftiest temple of hu
man purity, and place his broad stain of infamy
on the holiest servant of the living God.
The slanderer has not a single pretext or ex
cuse to palliate his offence. A desire of gain
may urge some men to the commission ot crime:
the incendiary and assassin may be excited by
this base passion to perpetrate their deeds of
darkness and of death, but the man who attacks
me with slander has no hope of personal good :
and if he robs me of character, he
“Robs me of that which not enriches him,
But makes me poor indeed.”
He gratifies the malice of his heart, adds one
more to the family of wretchedness and woe,
and enjoys a secret pleasure—yea, even tri
umphs as he reflects on the infamous achieve
ment.
THE BENEVOLENT QUAKER.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
Doctor P., a Quaker of Philadelphia, is very
kind to tiie poor. In the limes ot sickness, pro
duced by whatever cause, he is always ready and
willing to assist them. His benevolence, in
such cases, extends farther than his gratuitous
services as a physician. Os course he is belov
ed.
Our streets are frequently somewhat crowd
ed with building materials —so much so as of
ten, at particular places, to prevent two vehicles
from passing each other, if the drivei 1 ofeither is
disposed to be obstinate.
As the Doctor was one day proceeding to
visit a patient, his progress was impeded by a
dray—the driver of which had stopped his horse
in one of those narrow passages. After wait,
ino- several minutes, the Doctor requested the
drayman to allow him to pass. 'File latter,
who had heard of, but did not know the former,
poured fourth a volley of the vilest abuse, upon
the “straight coat,” and swore he would not move
til! he thought proper.
“Well friend,’ said the Doctor, ‘all I have
to observe is this : if thee should get sick, or if
thy family should ever be in distress, send for
Doctor P. and he will do all he can to assist
thee.’
1 need scarcely say that the heart of the dray
man was subdued by the kindness oftheman he
had abused. He was ashamed of his conduct—
stammered an apology, and removed the obstruc
tion as speedily as possible.
How true it is, that “ a soft tongue breakelh
the bone.” If the doctor had cursed the drayman I
till midnight, he would have received nought but I
cursings and blows in return —This may be
thought a small matter, but it furnishes a useful
lesson. ’- *
A SUICIDE.
The history of suicide, its phenomena and its
philosophy, begins to attract attention in this
country.. A most extraordinary number of
self-mu re* rs, in common with others, have been
committed in the United States within a short
period. Our late registers of deaths are bloody
records of crime of almost every hue and gra-'
dation. In most countries suicide and murder
are in the inverse proportion of each other.
Where the one is most rifi*, the other is seldom
seen. But they have gone on togethi r with us
in frightful progression. Can we discover in
the statistics of crime a solution of this misery ?
Larae capitals are the theatres of suicides, but
not of murders. But we have no overgrown
cities where the population of the country is
driven, as to a centre, to find employment.
We have no great focus of crime, where men of
desperate fortunes congregate, as their natural
home and refuge.
While the suicide resorts to a city, the mur
derer remains at a distance from it. This is ;
another fact in the history of crime, yet we find
no parallel to it in the United States. The
murderer, with us, lifts the fatal weapon alike
in the city and at a distance from its strict po
lice and humanizing manners. The suicide is
found to commit self-sacrifice as well where
competition for employment is scarcely known,
as in the more crowded towns. How are these
facts to he explained ?
In every country the history of suicide, if not
of murder, is the history of the moral condition
cf itsinhabitants—the history of its government
—the history of its manners. The phenomena
of crime, o misfortune, of unbridled passions, of
unrestrained appetites, may be read in the re
gisters of untimely death. Do we not boast of
our moral purity? Do we not challenge histo
ry for a parallel to our form of government ?
Do ws not claim as our distinguishing national
characteristic, simplicity of manners? How is
it, then, that social ties are so relaxed with us,
that crime of the deepest dye multiplies in a ra
tio so far beyond our expectation^?
Shall we look in the history of suicide and
murder for the history of those physical influ.
ences which affect the moral and intellectual
constitution of man? Is it to the history of the
earth, in various modes of acting on the mental
and physical organization of the species, that
we are to seek for the means of generalizing,
the phenomena ? Shall we look into the pages
of the natural historian, in short, for a solution
of the law and philosophy of this subject? If
we find in the fog of London, a larger number
of suicides titan where the earth does not give
out as many humid exhalations, shall we say
that this is a part of the physical law connected
with self-destruction? If we find in the north
ern region of France one suicide in 9,853 inha
bitants, and in the southern departments one in
31,876, shall we conclude that 'his points to
sunny climes as blest with exemption from this
crime, while ungenial regions impel to self-de
struction ? We confess ourselves unable to,
solve the problem, although the history of sui
cide irut his country is a better illustration of the
physical than the morn! theory of the origin of
self-murder. The largest proportion ofsuicides,
occur at the north.
We have ofen thought that it would be a pro
fitable lesson if, affixed to each record of self
immolation, appeared a short history of the
causes and impelling motives of the act. What
a commentary would this furnish to a fruitful
text? A few lines would include the essence of
a sys em of morals. A brief description of mo
lives would contain an epitome and abstract of
volumes of ethical discussion and rules of prac
tice. —Southern Patriot.
An Actual Fact. — A man down Jersey,
talking of the number of wives to which he had
been married, was asked by a person present,
“How many wives have you had?” “Why 1
believe lour or five,” said he beginning to count
them over. “There was Polly and Peggy, Sally
and Dorothy;” and here he made a kind of halt,
during which intermission a neighbor present
said, “there's another. Molly.” The man of
many wives clapped his forehead, and musing
for some time, said in a tone inimitable, “Well,
I believe it is so—l think 1 have had one with
such a name, but it seems all like a dream. (A
pause.) Yes you’re right! Ido remember
now, she was a poor sickly thing, and did’nt live
more than a year or two ; ’tis very strange that
I should forget Molly, but its quite nat’ral; so
many things happen in one’s life that it’s plaguy
hard to keep an account of’em all, and I haint
got no bibleai home to put down the marriages
in, cause 1 sold that when my last wife died, with
the rest of ihe household and kitchen furniture.”

IN DIAS VEGETA BEE EEIXIIi.
f^HIS invaluable medicine, which has of late years
excited so much attention in Europe, has recently
made its appearance in this country, and with.no less
claim to the title of a specific lor the cure of those excru
ciating complaints, £heumatis.m, Gout and pain in the
Bonos, Joints, and whether from the too free use ol
mercury or other cav.ses. So effectual has the vegeta
ble Indian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is re
commended, that the proprietor feels authorised to state,
it will effect a cure in ninety cases out of a hundred when
taken accordingto the printed directions accompanying
each Bottle. The Elixir is composed entirely of Veget.
able ingredients, and may be taken without the,least risk
of injury to the constitution. It is unnecessary to say;
more in favorof this invaluable Remedy ; too many in this
community have already been cured by it for its virtues
long to remain unknown, and it must and will become
the universal reiort of the afflicted here, as it has done in
other places. For the further satisiaction of those who
may feel disposed to doubt the efficacy ofthis medicine. >

Columbia, April ? 6th, 1832.
This is to certify that the subscriber had been for some
years, tormented with that most excruciating disease
chronic Rheumatism, and was advised in February last to
procure from Dr. Fitch some of his Indian Vegetable
Elixir. Accordingly I procured some of it, and to my
great surprise and still greater relief, it entirely
the complaint, after taking a few doses, and I have not
since had a return of it.

Edgefield, June 2d, 1832.
Mr. James Boatwright,
Dear Sir —Permit me to return you my sincere thanks
for your kind attention in delivering my letter to Dr.
Fitch for the five bottles of his Indian Vegetable ELIX
IR. It came safe to hand, and if you are a parent, you
can conceive of my joy, when I inform you that rr.y son
who has for the last six months suffered every pain from
the Rheumatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, has been entirely cured by that Elixir. I had
mourned over him and had given him up tc be a cripple
for life and all the tend expectations I had anticipated from
him appeared to be blasted forever. But now to see him
walking about free from pain, and daily gaining strength,
gives rne more pleasure than I can express. Several of
my neighbors nave experienced immediate relief. In
only one instance have I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one ; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the use of it, as he has not yet given it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service
to my fellow beings I freely give my consent that you
should make such use of it as you think conducive to
that end. I remain ever your much obliged friend,
Anack P. Hickman.

I Certify that my son Thomas Mitchell, jr. aged 15
years, lias been troubled for Eight years last past
with the Rheumatism, and for the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved without great agony :
his limbs were paralyzed and drawn up and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him, without effect.
Having heard of Dr. A. Fitch’s Indian Vegetable Elix
ir, I piocured the same for my son, on taking it, he was
much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle,
has entirely removed the pain, his flesh is restored and
he is now enjoying good health. I would in all cases
of Rheumatism earnestly recommend it to those whi
arc affected with this excruciating pain.
THOMAS MITCHELL.
We being neighbors and acquaintances of Mr. Tho
mss Mitchell, and having often seen the situation of hii
son, fully corroborate the above stated case, and, as w<
believe, has been cured by the Indian Vegetable Elixii
