. From the New York Transcript. WIDOW GRIFFIN'S COURTSHIP. It is not customary as far as we are ac raaintcd with the history of most countries, 'or women actually to o a courting. I hey leverthelcss can, and ofien do, effect much j ;n forwarding a suit at home. Nay, for the -nost part, they do their full share of wooing not precisely in the way men woo; of ourse not in that direct and positive way ut hy smiles, and killing glance;, and Ian-, guirhing looks, and tender 6igns, and all the thousand ways wherehy nature, a little assisted hy art. hns armed them for doing execution on the hearts of yieldingswains. Nor is viiis mode of courtship as practised on the female side, the loss effective for heing indirect. On the contrary, it derives a great part of its force from this very circumstance.. It thus takes the heart at unawares, its victory before the oppose party is well apprised that a lodgement has been made; whereas, a more open and bold attack would fit onte alarm the garrison, and effectual resistance would be the consequence. We do not speak of this female wooing by way of reproach to the sex not at all. We ought rather to thank them for their kindness in thus meeting and aiding the advances of our sex. If it were not so what would poor male creatures do especially the more modest and bashful part of them? They never would get through a cortship in the world. They would give up every attempt for a bad job. They would never get married, nay, we are persuaded that in most instances, instead of putting on the chains of Hymen, they would put on the halter. They would go and hang themselves. But it is not of the general disposition of the fair sex to kindly meet the advances of ours where they are disposed to like, that wc design to treat in this article. It is a case somewhat out of the common course, but yet not altogether unique. Other women besides the widow Griffin, have been known boldly to woo; and widows are perhaps in general allowed more license in the way of making love than maidens. At all events they are more apt to assume it; and having if we may be allowed the expression, been already through the mill, they are supposed to have a proper understanding of whatever belongs to the tender passion; and to know precisely what force a gentle heart can resist, and what it must inevitable lead to. The widow Griffin had buried five husbands before she was forty. Siie was far from approving, like some other widows we have seen, of the doctrine of monogamy. She considered it as altogether an unsocial doctrine. WhatP said she, 'because I have been married once, shall I refuse ever to marry again? Shall I not take a second husband because I have lost a first? That would be a reflection on the married life. Nay it; Would be a sort of slandering, as it were of my husband, dear good man! It would be as much as to say that he did'nt make me happy. And 111 never say that for him.j though he is dead and gone. I loved him so well, and enjoyed his society so much, that I never can be satisfied till I get another. And the sooner I get me another, the more I shall how my affection for the first. The world may say what it pleases; but I am sure the best evidence any person can give, whether ftny man or woman loved their first partner is, to take a second as soon as possible after the first is dead.' And the widow was as good as her word. Her extraordinary affection for her first husband could not be doubted, if the speed with which she took a second might be considered a fair criterion. As we said before she had buried five husbands and she was not yet forty. Various had been the names she had borne in her five-fold widowhood. First she had been the widow Scroogs; secondly, the widow Graves; thirdly, the widow Winkum; fourthly, the widow Gates; and fifthly, the ifidow Griffin under which name she tnourned at the time our story commences. We say mourned for the tenderhearted lady never ceased to mourn, as long as she was a widow." Aye, and she wept too she wept out ot one eye, while she looked abroad for a husband cut of the other; and the poor broken-hearted dame gave not sleep to her eyes, nor slumber to her eye-lids, after losing at nusnami, until she had secured another. In truth, she did not like, over and above well, to rest under the name of widow; it founded so lonely and forsaken. And then the uame of widow Scroggs was grating to her ears it sounded scroggy. The name of widow Graves was scarcely more agreeable; it sounded to grave. The widow Winkum he could not bear; it reminded her of a fa vorite amusment of her girlish days, called tank em snap'im. She could not bear to rest under the name of the widow Gates, for it re j i i ,i. . - . jiiiiiuuu uur now mien mc gales ot happiness urt j oecn cioscu to ner in the loss of her sev eral husbands. nd as for the widow Griflia, it was constantly bringing to her mind that fabulous animal, which being generated between a lion and an eagle, is neither one thing nor another. As she had got rid of her other widowed names, so she was resolved to get rid of the name of the widow Griffin. JShe was now in Vr. ; k i i. i . it .v mvi iv. nit-in u'Hr, anu naie ana ouxom. iier last husband had been a farmer, and at the time of his death had in his employ a young man bj the name of Jonas Gosling. He was a stout passable looking fellow of about the age of twenty, the widow dressed him in mourning, as one of the family; and at the funeral, she -begged the support of his youthf ul but manly rm, while she followed her dear husband ta the grave. Her tears flowed fart, and he sia cvoe deep and thick) and if

she bore hard on the arm of Mr. Gosling, and 1 every now and then gave him a feeling glance of the eye for consolation's sake, the extarordinary grief which she must have suffered on the occasion, seemed to afford her a sufficient excuse. 'Oh!' said she. I never shall be comforted

again never never! He was a jewel of a husband, my dear Mr. lritnn so much nice vou. Mr. Gosline Oh! 1'rae sure that I can never look at you without thinking of him. But he's gone, and rme left a widow. Thus mourned the widow Griffin, as she sat weaping in her parlor, aAer the funeral, and dropping tears profusely from one eye. as she glanced tenderly at Jonas for consola tion with the other. 'Alas I said she, what shall I do for comfort? This is the fifth time that I'm a widow? Miserable, miserable me! Where shall I look for consolation? I've no body now to plant, nor sow, nor , 'Why as, as to that,' said Jonas interrupting the flow of her grief, 'the oats and wheat was sowed a weak ago, and 'tis'nt time to plant the corn yet so don t take on so about that. I'll do what I can to, keep things right and straight about the farm.' 'I dare say you will, Jonas,' said the widow wiping her eye; 'you're a clever young man, Jonas but who is to supply the place of my dear Mr. Griffin?' "exclaimed the widow bursting into tears. 'I'll do what I can, I say.' repeated Joseph. 'To be sure cue n an nlcre can't do so muih work as two; but. as I said afore, I'll do what I can. and if you'll take a boy to 'A boy!' exclaimed the widow Griffin, who evidently was thinking of one thing while the hired man was thinking of another "1 would'nt give the snap of my thumb for a boy. What could he do in the place of dear Mr.Giitb.iir Wh, ma'am', said Jonas, honestly, 'he could drive oxen, and ride horses to plough, and go to null, and shake hay and ' 'Shake a fiddlestick!' interrupted the disconsolate widow 'I won't have no boys plaguing about me. I'll have a man or nobody.' 'Well, just as you can afford,' said Jonas. 'Afford !' retorted the widow, 'l'rne sure I can afford to have a husband as well as any other woman, lor l ve had nve ol em. But, alas! what am 1 talking about? Oriel has turned my brain. But 1 beg, Mr. Gosling, you would'nt put any wrong construction on what I've said. I'm sure that I re spect you more that any man alive, or dead either, for that matter, if any man can sup ply the place of my dear Mr. ixriffin, it is 1 a. 11. .1 you but i woman i nave you taKeany pnae in what 1 say Alas! gnel has turned my head, I'm sure it has.' Thus saying, the good woman, wiping her eyes and looking fondly on Jonas, bade him good night and retired to wet her widowed couch with tears and to dream of a new husband. The truth is she had cast her eyes upon the hired man, as a very proper person to fill her late husband's place. 'He is to be sure,' thought she, 'but a youth, but then he is vv ell-grown one. and in time, if he lives and does well, he will become a man. Ait old fudge! Give me a young man in preference to an old one. But shall I marry Gosling? Shall I be called Mrs. Gosling tWhat a name! But Mrs. Anything is preferable to the W idow So-and-so. But then, again, the creature is so stupid he'll never take the hint he'll never understand what 1 want of him. I may sigh my heart out, and the fool will think its all my poor dead husband. But, heigh ho! its very strange if a widow of forty, who has been five times married, should'nt-be able to court up a young man of twenty. The widow Griffin had now fairly set her cap for poor Jonas; and when once a woman so far departs from the decorum of her sex as to set at once about wooing a husband, she is not apt to allow any common obstacle to baffle her undertaking. The widow lost no opportunity of winding herself into the good graces of the hired man. She sat with him whole hours of an evening and talked of nothing but love, and matrimony, and turtles, and Cupid, and such like tender topics, of which Jonas understood little or nothing. Indeed, his replies were sometimes most provokingly stupid; as, for instance, when she was one evening talking about Cupid, he observed that he was a snappish little cur, and he wondered Mrs. Butterfield would keep such a worthless good for nothing dog as he. 'Dog!' exclaimed the widow, what are you talking about, Jonas?' What! why I,m talking about Mrs. But rtield's do? CuDid. to be terheld's dog Cupid, to be sure, said Gosling nonesuy n mere s a more worthless dog in town than he, I dont know where lie is. He'll neither hunt cattle nor kill woodchucks, and he is always barking at every body that goes along.' 'Fie! fie! Jonas, s?id the widow, leering kindly on him, why will you always effect to misunderstand in this cruel manner? Mrs Butterhcld's dog, indeed ! 'Twas the God of love with his bow and arrow that I mesnt.' 'Oh! ah! the bow and arrow was it, sich as we see in the almanack in the month of December? Ah, yes, I understand you now.' At another time when the amarous widowwas speaking about the fondness of turtles, jonas rerrarked that he thought the crittures were ionu ot sunning themselves, as he had oiien seen mem on ton ol a lotr or a ston. where tliey had crawled out of the water on! a, - .a. O 7 a sun-shiny day 'Craw led out of the water!' said the widow in astonishment, 'I did'nt know they ever went into the water!' You did'nt know that turtles ever went into the water!' exclaimed Jonas with astonishment 'why they live half the time in wa ter, and some on 'email the time except when they come up to sun themselves, as 1 said aibre Why did'nt you never eec how quick

they'd pop their heads Into their shells, when they see any body coming along?'

vn; iar returned the widow who had just caught the meaning of honest Jonas -'yor're a inuiKing anouc one Kino ol turtles and 1 of another. You are thinking- about nond tu rtles, and I about tree tu rt les.' ' 'Sartinly, Mrs. Griffin, I'm thinking about pond-turklcs,mud-turkles, and sichlike;but 1 never see one on 'em on a tree yet, not I.' 'It's turtle doves I mean,' said the widow with a fond smile, 'but you will always pretend not to understand me. Ah, you're a sly one, Jonas, I warrant me. But as the negro said, "the still pig eat up the sow." You know what jou're about, though you do pretend to be so dumb.' The widow Griffin treated Jonas to all the good things the house afforded. She placed him at the head of the table, and even made1 him a present of her late husbands clothes. 4tOh!' said she with a sigh, as he put on the garments, 'how much you do look like my late husband, only a great deal younger but la! that's no fault at all in my eye; and I'm sure 1 would'nt marry a man a bit the less for being of j our age. And then, as I said before, you look so mnch like my dear Mr. Griffin, that making allowance for ages you are as like two peas.' 'All that may be too,' replied Jonas, 'and yet not be so dreadful like neither. Now there's a difference in peas, Mrs. Griffin there's the early pea, there's the marrowfat and then there's the sugar pea.' 'Ah, yes.' said the widow, 'you've hit it now. That's it exactly.' 'Hit what exactly?' 'Why the peas my husband was the mor row fat and you re the sugar pea. As the amorous dame said this, she looked as if she would make good the truth of her words, by presently eating up the sugar pea, as she chose to call Mr. Gosling. But Jonas, we are sorry to say, did not understand her; and she was obliged to vary her mode of at tack, in order to get possession of his heart. Like other persons who are in love, she even attempted something in rhyme and one day Jonas found a slip of paper lying in his path, on which was the following. "Oh, Mr. Gosling, if you knew I low much I love you and how true, You never would so cruel be As not to love and pity me. You know my name, so I'll not tell Oh, did you know my heart as well, . Yon never would so cruel be As not to love and marry me. This was not signed, as the widow would have felt her modesty severly shocked by openly making a proposal of marriage to a man. But she supposed her hand writing to be so perfectly well known to Mr. Gosling, that he could not mistake it; though she thought it a matter of prudence not to give it her signature, so that, should it not succeed to her wishes, she nvght deny that she had ever written it. As for Jonas, he either did not know whence the verses came, or else he did not choose to take notice of -them; and the persevering widow was fain to have recourse to other stratagems. She used to go out in the fields where he was at work, and carry him milk-pnnch which he declared as he drank it off, was both food and drink. 'Ay, and lodging too if you choose to make it so, said the widow with a significant leer.' 'I don't know how that is, I'm sure, but if my mother had given me such milk as that I'd never been weaned to this day if I could have helped it. 'Your mother! why not your wife? Oh! Lord a mercy on me! what a great snake!' As the widow said this, she threw herself st reaching and ready to faint, into the arms of Jonas; who having nothing else at hand wherewith to revive the fainting dame, dashthe remains of the milk punch in her face, and then proposed to go and kill the snake. Oh, don't for the world,r said the widow, clinging round his neck; 'don't leave me! 1 shall die out right if you leave me.' 'But where's the snake?' said Jonas, looking round in order to find the villanous reptile that had so frightened the widow 'show him to me, and I'll kill the varmunt.' 'I don't see him now,' said the widow. 'Nor 1 neither, said Jonas; 1 guess it was merely your notion, that's all.1 SAv notion P exclaimed the widow do you think I'd be so frightened at a mere notion? Oh, no, Mr. Gosling I'm not such a chicken as all that comes to. I'm all most positive 1 saw the snake at least I saw its tail riggle in the grass.' 'What sort of a snake was it.' I dont know exactly; but I believe it was a garter snake,' said the widow still clinging to the hired man; 'but somehow or other I've become very tiresome since I was a widow. Oh! how much we poor women need the support of a man. I must take another husband indeed I must.' As she said this, she, accidentally no doubt, brought her lips in contact with those of Jonas; and he must have been a very Joseph, if he had not, under the circumstances, given her a hearty smack for sooth to say, the widow, though no chicken in point of age, was not altogether destitute of charms. As she felt the lips of the youth; pressing the desired salute, she started back and ex- ! l . i . . a & i ' --- -j -v-r j . a i i v v. M -i on i 1 III VUl ciaimca,un wnat nave I doner im sure, Mr. Gosling, jou'l I think strangely of me. And then my widowed condition; I'm sure my dear Jonas, you wou't think any harm cf me. Oh! what a charming husband you would make you kiss me so prettily.' 'Why, if you like it so well, said Jonas, growing boulder every minute, 'I'll give you another.' With that, he seized the widow round the neck, and inflicted at least a half dozen all of which she bore with the most exemplary patience and resignation. Sbe only

told him him that he was a rue young man,' and that she saw plainly it would not do for a woman to give him any advantage, for he was disposed to make the most of iU And

she concluded by saying,'! should not be sur prised, after this, if you should oven ask me to marry you and I'm sure if you should 1 could'nt no how in the world refuse you.' In short, not to make to long a story of the Widow Griffin's Courtship, the horrible fright of the snake was so well managed, that it brought to a successful termination her whole course of wooiiig; and very shortly after, the name of Griffin was exchanged for that of Gosling, and the widow became the happy wife of the sixth husband.
