COURTING IN IOWA.
The following circumstances happened in
Cedar Co., Iowa :
A certain young man being out on a court-:
iug expedition came late on Sunday even- j
ing, and in order to keep his secret from his 1
young acquaintances, determined to be at '
home bright and early on Monday morning, j
Mounted on his horse, dressed iu his tine
white summer pants, and other fixins in j
proportion, he arrives at the residence of his !
inamorata where he was kindly received, and j
his horse, property taken care of, being turn-'
od into the pasture for the night. The night'
passed away, and three o'clock in the morn-!
ing arrived. Three o'clock wu* the tuue ior;
him to depart, so that he might arrive at |
home before his comrades were stirring.? j
lie sallied forth to the pasture to catch hi?!
horse j but here was a difficulty?grass high |
and loaded with dvw. To venture in with j
white pantaloons on would rather takeout!
the starch and lead to his detection. It j
would not do to go in with his white unmen- i
tionables, so ho quickly made his resolve.? :
He carefully disrobed himself of his valuable j
whites" and placed them in safety ou the |
fence while ho gave chase with unscreened j
pedals through the wet grass after the horse, j
Returning to the fence where he had safe-!
ly suspended his lilly white unmentionables. I
U Horrible Dir.tu ! what a sight met his i
eyes ! The field into which his horse had I
been turned was not only a "horse pasture," j
but a "calf pasture," too, aud the naughty j
calves attracted by the white flag on the;
fence, had betaken themselves to it, and j
calf-like, had eaten them up; oniy a few well i
chewed fragments of this once valuable article
of the wardrobe now remained?only a
few shreds?just sufficient to indicate what
they once had been! What a pielke this j
was fur a nice youug man to be in!
It was now near day-light, and the farm- \
ers were up atiu about, and our hero tar trom i
home, with uo covering for his "traveling I
apparatus."
It would not do to go back to the house of I
his lady love, ueither could he go to town iu
* that plight. There was one resource left
him, and that was to secrete himself in the
bushes until the next night and then get
home under cover of the darkness.
Safely hid, he remained under the pro- j
tcction of the bushes for some time, and it j
may be imagined that his feelimrs towards j
the calf kind were not the most friendly !
character; but ere long, his seclusion was j
destined to be intruded upon. By and by, I
the boys, who had been out to feed the!
calves, returned with the remnants of the!
identical white garment which adorned the j
lower limbs of their late visitor. They were j
mangled and torn to shreds 1 An inquest;
was immediately held over them. Some j
awful fate had befallen the unfortunate!
young man. The neighbors were summon-!
ed to search for the mangled corpse, and :
the posse with all speed set out with dogs;
and arms. The pasture was thoroughly'
searched, and then the adjacent thickets, i
when lo I nur hero was driven out from his ;
lair by the keen seent of the dogs all safe, i
alive and well, minus the /turn.
-.V.U rAj'itiuaiiuu uiuu aw IIIVJ j
pense of our hero, but he was successful in j
the end. and married the lady, aud is now '
living comfortably in one of the flourishing
little towns of Iowa. j
Dealinu with Thieves.?The follow- {
ing true story was told of Jacob Sheaf. Esq.. j
a merchant of Portsmouth, of former times. I
A man had purchased some wool of him, J
which he had weighed and paid for, and j
Mr. Sheaf had gone to the back room to get i
change for a note. Happening to turn his I
head while there, he saw in a glass, which j
swung so as to reflect the shop, a stout arm j
reach up and take, from the shelf a heavy j
cheese. Instead of appearing suddenly and I!
rebuking the man, as another would?there-1 :
by loosing his v":">iu forever?the crafty
old gentleman gave the thief his change, as j
if nothing had happened, and then, under j
pretence of lifting the bag to 'ay it on the | 1
horse for him, took hoid of it and exclaimed,!
' Why, bless me ! I must have reckoned the j !
weight wrong." !
"Oh, no," said the other, "you may be
sure you have not, for I counted with you."
"Well, well, we wou't dispute the matter,j i
it is so easily tried," said Mr. Sheaf, putting ;
the bag on to the scale. "There !" said he j
"I told you so ; I knew I was right; made a j i
mistake of uearly twenty pounds. However,! :
if you don't want the whole, you needn't! have
it; I'll take part of it out."
"No!" said the other, stayiug the hand of j
Mr. Sheaf, on the way to the string of the I
bag; " 1 guess I'll tuke the whole."
And this he did?paying for his dishon- j
esty by receiving theskiiu milk cheese for the j
price of woolOn
another occasion Mr. Sheaf missed a j
barrel of pork. A few months after, a man :
one day asked him the question, "Did you ;
ever find out who took the pork, Mr. Sheaf?" I
"Yes," was the reply, "you ate the fel- j
low; for none but myself aud the thief j
knew of the loss."
mi / 11 J .1 '
me leilow was aeiecieu oy uie snrewu i
dealer, who possessed the valuable faculty of
knowing when to be sileut.
"Pick up dk SronE."?A friendly eor- j
respondent writing from Washington, Pa.,:
says:
"Like most other small towns, we have;
here u 'colored church,' where many aiuu-!
sing things are said, exilerating to the spirits
of the few who occasionally visit our;
<Hayti* meeting houses. 'Ilayti'is the name !
given to that part of our towu where 'pus- j
sous of color' reside. One winter evening :
when the colored preacher was iu the midst!
of his season, muting a most violent if not a
most eloquent appcrt-io his hearers, one of |
the legs of the stove fell otn, und as a natu
nl consetjeuce, the red hot stov^jjnped o-!
ver at an angle alarminglysuggestive&f4m;.!
The audience of course, commenced oruwcPT
ing out of the door like a flock of black j
sheep. But the preacher was equal to the
occasion. Addressing one of his prominent j
members, be cried out : 'j
"Pick up do stobe, bruder Bolah !?pick j
up de stobe { Do Lor' won't let it bum you!'
Only ha!> faith !"'
Poor brother Boler had, uufortuuately, too j
much faith, aud immediately seized it, all j
glowing as was; hut no sooner had his fin !
gers come in contact with the fervent iron, j
than he dropped it again, and danciDg a-1
round on one foot, blowing his skiuless fin- j
gers, he exclaimed with all the energy that 1
he could throw iuto his voice:
"De deuce be won't!" De deuce he!
woc't"' |
Swearing Made Easy.?The Sacra
inento Aye chronicles a curse almost as copious
as that of Ernulphus, and which, with
a little variation, might be adapted for general
use and applied to almost any emergency
except, perhaps "swearing out of jail."
Says the California paper :
"An individual in neat apparel attempted
to cross an alley, slipped from a piank and
fell into ihe mud which were inserted to the
elbow in soft earthenware. Slowly straightening
himself up as he gazed at his spoiled
sleeves, ha walked to the nearest sidewalk,
and lookingat the cause of his humiliation,
said :
"I hereby crrse that plank, the tree it
came out of, the soil it grew in, the outside
bark, the inside also, the roots, limbs, knots,
fibres, bods, leaves, boughs, and the birds
that rested thereon. And T furthermore curse
tlir> m m flmf cntrnrl rlrnvn t.llfi tree
l,"u r ? -
that it came out of, the man that tended
that saw, the water or stream, as the case
may bo, which put the saw in motion, and I
curse all the surrounding trees and hulls, and
I say that the city authorities of this towu,
village or borough, countenuuee more dirt
than is necssary for the health, peace and
prosperity of the community. Hesides this,
I blame, denounce and abhor that unreliable
piece of pine, or whatever kiud of wood it
may be?just look at my hands!"
Ax Accommodating Editor.?In view
of the heavy pressure iD the money market,
says the I'ayottcvilleNorth Carolina, as the
mouse said wheu the keg of specie rolled
over him, and considering it our bounden
duty to do something for the relief of those
whom the banks are now reducing to the
last stage of moral wretchedness, we make
tlie IOllOWlOg propositions, lo liiu uusvivauuc
of which we, in the spirit of the heroes of
'76, pledge our life, our fortune :iud our sacred
honor:
1st. All gold and silver coin will be taken
by us at its par value in payment of any
dues to this office.
2d. Xo paper money of any description
will be offered by us to any of our creditors,
lest the banks might suspend afterwards and
the money become useless.
od. If the banks will place iu our hands
all the notes under the denomination of ?10,
we will dispose of them to any broker at
less than their par value.
4th. We will not pay out any specie which
may fall into our hands, lest the Virginia
brokers gel hold of it.
5th. If any man wants to see stars and
appreciate one of the uses to which brickbats
may be perverted, let him approach
our vicinity with an account.
P. S. We keep a pile of bricks in our
sanctum and carry one in our hat.
Sin Walter Raleigh.?His pipe often
furnished Raleigh with an opening for displaying
his ready wit to the queen. 0 c
day he was conversing on the singular properties
of the new herb.
'I can assure your majesty,' sa d he, that
I have so well experienced the nature of it,
that [ can tell even the weight of the smoke
in any quantity I consume.'
lI doubt it much, Sir Walter,' replied
Elizabeth, thinking only of the impracticability
of weighing smoke in a balance, 'and
will wager you twenty angles that you do nut
solve my doubt.'
A quantity was agreed upon to be thoroughly
siuoked. Carefully preserving the
ashes, Raleigh weighed these with great exactness,
and what was deficieut of the original
weight, he gave as the result.
'Your majesty,' said he, 'cannot deny that
the difference hath been evaporated in
smoke.
Truly I cannot,' answered the queen.?
Teen turning to those around her, who had
been amused by Raleigh's calculations, she i
continued in allusion to the alchemists, then ]
very numerous, 'Many laborers in the fire J
have heard of, who turned their gold into
smoke, but llalcigh is the first man who has ;
turned smoke into gol i.'
An Entirely New Medicine.?Oil of
Brickbats and Compound Cnadulterated
Concentrated Syrup of Paving Stones, manu- i
factured only by I>r. llumbugibus H dlowbelly
and sold by his regularly authorized i
ajrents. Beware of Counterfeits !!!

[certificate.]
Mr. Ilallowbelly?Dear Sir:?I kicked
the bucket last night, but while the undertaker
was placing tue in the coffin, a vial of
your Essential Oil burst in my pocket and ;
streaming down my face, 1 opened my eyes,
sneezed, and arose. The shroud having received
a portion of the oil, instantly took
root in the fhior and expanded into beautiful
cotton stalks, each filled with bursting pods. \
The coffin rose ou end, and grew into a magnificent
mahogany tree, which burst off the
roof my house, and waved in the evening
breeze its luxuriant branches, among which
the monkeys chattered and green parrots !
fluttered their fan-like wings.
I remain your revived friend,
Timothy Trickleberry. i

Goon Manners.?Xo station, rank, or
taleuts, however great, can excuse a man
for neglecting the civilities due from mau ^
to man. When Clement XIV. ascended the j
papal chair, the ambassadors of the several 1
States represented at his Court waited on j
his holiness with their congratulations. As I
they were introduced and severally bowed,
he also bowed to return the compliment. On
this the mastei of ceremonies told his holiness
that he should not have returned their salute.
"Oh, [ beg your pardon," said he; "I have
not been Pope lung enough to forget good
manuers.
Haul* Hit.?Mr. Finnefrock, an Ohio
Black Republican stumper, while making a
high-flown speech recently paused in the
midst of it and exclaimed;
"Now, gentlemen, what do you think?
Iustautly a man rose in the assembly, and
with one eye partly closed, modestly, with
Scotch brogue, replied:
"Mr. Finnefrock, I think sir, I do indeed,
s"""-?Fthu)k if you awl 1 would stump the
countryNs^eilier, we could tell more lies
than any two^^iu the country, sir, and
I d not-say a word ut>n4fall the time, sir."
8SF* Some few years ago^K^Ividwell
was preaching to a large audience
part of Illinois, and announced for his. te^ts
"in my Father's house are many mansions'."
He had hardly read the words when an old
coon stood up and said : "I tell you folks,
that's a lie ! I know his father well. He
lives about fifteen miles from Lexington, in
in Kentucky, iu an old cabiu.and there ain't
but one room iu the house." The meeting
adjourned.

A GLASS OP BRANDY. _ v?
It can't hurt any body ! Why, I know a
i person, yonder he is now, a specimen of
manly beauty, a portly six-footer, lie has
the bearing of a prince, for lie is one cf our
, merchant princes. His fuee wears the hue
i of health, and now at the ape of fifty odd. he
! lias the quick clastic step of our you tip men
of twenty five, and none more full of mirth
jand wit than he, and I know he never dines
i without brandy and water, and never goes
1 to bed without a terrapin or oyster supper,
: with plenty of champuguc and more than
1 that, he was never known to be drunk. So
here is a living ex..tuple and disproof of the
j temperance twaddle about the dangerous nature
of an occasional glass, and the destruei
tive effect of a temperate use of good liquors.
I Now it so happened that this specimen of
safe brandy drinking, was a relation of ours,
j Ho died a year or two after that, of ehron.

never drunk, nor ever out of liquor. He

For mouths he-lore he died?he was a year
j in dying?he could eat or drink nothing
! without distress, and at death, the whole

i the midst of Ins millions, he died of imittenj

! beeu a steady driuker, a daily drinker for
i twenty-eight years. He left a legacy to his
i children, which he did not mention Serofj
ula had eaten upon one daughter for fifteen
! years ; another is in the mad house; the third
j and fourth of unearthly beauty, there was a
| kind of grandeur in that beauty; and they
; blighted, and paled and faded into heaven
we trust in their sweetest teens; another is
I '
tottering on the verge of the grave, and the
I only one is left with all the senses, and each
of them is weak as water. Why, we came

| Protracted Temperance Meetings.?
: We would urge upon the friends of temperance
throughout the State to hold protrac;
ted temperance meetings in their several
localities. Let them be held fur several nights
in succession, or every other night for a week
or more. The novelty of the enterprise will
: call the people out to hear, and that is what
i is needed. Let the subject be full disscuss
ed, and some good will necessarily result.?
! The subject must be kept before the people
| if we would have the cause advanced They
j must be informed?their minds must be cxj
ercised upon it?they must be convinced before
they will co-operate in the advancement
j of the cause. This can bo effected in no wayso
well as that of holding frequent public meetings
and having the people addressed upon
this very important matter. But, says one,
the holding of so many public meetings involves
a good portion of our time and would
be attended with some expense. We were
J made to work, and nothing truly great is
ever achieved without labor. Let us labor;
the field is white unto the harvest?the fearful
tread of the giant intemperance never
dies away?and the roaring tide ever darkened
with the shattered wrecks of homes,
| hearts and hopes. Let us labot earnestly
for a better state of things. Try frequent
public meetings, and let the temperance gospel
be proclaimed earnestly and fearlessly.

House Malaria.?The pestiferous
influences of a Distillery arc manifest in
every neighborhood where such an establish
inent exists. The walls, the roof, the windows,
the hog-pens, the grounds, the vegetation,
all proclaim that blighting mildew
and death are there. A handsome distillery
cannot be found in all the western country.
The very architecture of the buildings appears
to be from the inferua! regions. The
blasting influences are apparent upen those
who are officiating within, as well as their
families and neighborhood. On approaching
one uf these ante-chambers of perdition, the
fences, farms, windows, everything betokens
the tbriftlcssness and demoralization of
the people. The children are ragged and
ignorant, the men arc idle and profane, the
Sabbath is disregarded, morality and religion
are below par.
Heaven pity all decent people whose lots
arc cast in the vicinity of a stillhouse ! The
stench and filth around the place are a pretty
fair type of the moral condition of the neighborhood.?

Brandy Medicine.?A reformed man
over in Hudson county, N. J., after abstaining
some years, was told by the doctor, that
he must put a little brandy in his water, so
lie obtained a bottle of 'rale good brandy,'
aud took a little?uext day a little?next
day a little more, when it suddenly struck
him that the old haukering was getting very
strong and clamorous. 'Mere,'said he, addressing
the bottle, 'look here, you are an
old acquaintance, you are the same that once
mastered me, and made uie a .slave and a sot,
a fool and a pauper. Now you dontcome it
over me again ; I'm decent uow; I'm respectable
uow; I've got a nice little property and
a happy family; you don't get them away
from me again, you've got to go, doctor or
no doctor, cholera or no cholera ; there, be
off,' and aWay went the bottle out of the window,
and was dashed to pieces. We say to
! all in like circumstances, go and do likewise.
Dr. Hall, in his "Journal of Health,"
j says : "We believe a man feels as happy af;
ter a plain dinner as after a luxurious one;
! certain are we that he sleeps sounder that
night, and feels the better of it all the next
' day; all the advantage to the luxurious liver
is the transient passage down the throat."?
! For the pleasure of this "transient passage
\ down the throat" how many men are there in
the world now who by driuk alone have sent
j all their possessions down "the gullet?"?
; They have paid for rum's "transient passage"
1 so many times that they are hopeless bank:

THE Subscriber returns his thanks for the very
liberal patronage received for the past, and
takes this method to inform thecitizens of York and
the surrounding Districts, and the whole South,
that he has effected another improvement in the
Cotton Gin and Wheat Thrasher, ?
that excels any that have ever been introduced J
heretofore; and from long experience he has no
fear in challenging any other Factory, either North J
or South, to produce an equal. He feels very confident
in saying to the public, that his Gins excel 1
in performance any other make or pattern now in
use. With dry cotton the roll cannot be broken 1
or made to spew over, wnieh no other pretends to 1
claim, nnd with good driving power and attend- e
nnce, a 45 saw gin, will Gin
from 4 to 6 Bales or more in a Day f
weighing from 350 to 4(K> lbs.; which is as much [ t
as any one hand can well handle in a day. Any "
person wanting a superior Gin or Thrasher, can
be supplied by sending on his order to me at
