From the Buck's County Intelligencer. A WIFE WANTED. Ye fair oo-s attend I've an oiler to make ye, In Hymen's soft bands I am anxious to live; For betir,fr worse, - companion I'll take rae, Provided she fills the description 1 give. I neither expect, nor cn hope for perfection, For that never yet was a bachelor' lot. But choosing a wile 1 wouM make a selection, Which many in my situation would not. I'd have let mi see Pd not have a beauty, For beautiful women are apt to be vain; Yet with a smill share, I would think it a duty To take her, be thankful and never complain. Her form must be good, without artto con: st ain it, And rather below than above middle size; A &o-Tiehinfr,(it puzzles my Sram to explain it,) . L.ke eloquent language must fijf from her s eyts. , She must be "well bread or I could net respect . her, , flood imtur'd and modest, but not very coy. Hr mmd writ informed, 'tis th i pun ed n ctar Ttiutswveetens the cup of byJieneal j y. Uer home,8he must low, and domestic em ployment, t Have oractical knowledge of hou. hold, affairs; And make it a part of her highest enjoyment, To solUn my tiouoles nd I'ghtin my cares. II r age I would have at lest to be twenty. But not to exceed twenty five at the m.jst; nd the girls of that age being every whwre pleniy, I h"pe to get one of tht numerous holt. No fortune f ask, for I'v. nn predilection For glitter and show, or th pomp of high lift; I wish to be bound by the cords of aft ction, And now I have drawn you a sketch of a u He. If any possess thp above rt qtiJsitions, And wish to be bound by the cot jugl b ind, They'll please to sttp forward, they know tiie conditio s. Inquire of 'he Print r, I'm always at hand. P22.IAX. VOXITEC REWARDED, "My Ule is simple, and of humble oirtb, A tribute of i expect to real worrh.'' '4Y u art1 too parsimonious, Hnr),-' said Mr. lo one of his clik5, they were together in the counting hou?e; "give mi leave to say that )ou do not dress sulli :iently genteel to appear as clerk ii a fashi uiable stor.', Henry's fare was suffused with a dtfp blush, and in spite of his endeav ors tu euppress it, a tear trembled on his manly cheek. "Did I not know that your salary was sufficient to provide more genteel habiliments," continued Mr. j). ul would increase it." i(,My salary is sufficient, sir," replied Henry in a voice choaked wilh that proud independence of feeling, whicli poverty had not been able to divest him of. His employer noticed his agiiatioe, and immediately changed the surjci, Mr. D. was a man of immense wealth and ample benevolence; he was a widower, and had but one child, a daughter, who was the pride of his declining years. She was not as beautiful as an ongel, or as perfect as Venus, but the goodness, the innocence, the intelligence of her mind shone in her countenance, and you had but to become acquainted with, to admire her. Such Has Carolina D lane), when Henry fir$t became an inmate of her father's houe. No wonder then that he soon loved Iwr with a deep and devoted affection and, reader, had you known him you would not have wondered that love wns soon returned, for their souls were congenial; they were cat in virtue's purest mould and although their tongues nevt r gave utterance lo what their hearts felt, yet the language of their ejes was too plain to be mistaken. Henry was the very soul of honor, and although ha perceived that he was not indifferent to Caroline, he still felt that he must conquer the passion that glowed in his bosom. "I must not endeavor to win her young and artless heart' thought he "I am pennyless, and canDot expect that her father would ever consent toqururion he has ever treated me with kindness and I will not be ungrateful." Thus he resolved; ai d thus-he heroically endeavored to subdue what he considf redan ill-fated passion. Caroline had many suitors, some who were fully worthy of her; but she refined all their overtures with a gentle, detiive lirmne?3. Her father wonder ed at her conduct, yet would net thwart her inclination. He was in the decline of life and Y, ished to see her happily settled ere he quilted the stage of existence. It was no! lonrj ere he suspected that young H"iirv was (he cause of her indiff-r ence to others; the evident pleasure s'm to.'k in hearing him praised, the b!u?h f licit overspread their cheeks whenever their eves mt, all served to convince the old gentleman, who had not forgotten that he was once young himself, that they felt more than common interest in each other's welfare. Heforeboie making any remarks upon the subject, but was not as much displeased at the supposition as the penny Ipps Henry would have imagined, Henry had now been a year in his employ. Mr. D. knew nothing of hi? family ; but his strict integrity, his irreproachable morals, his pleasing man ners, all conspired to make him esteem him highly. He was proud of Henr), and wished him to appear in dress, as well as in manners, as respectable as any one. He bad often wondered at

n he crnn iofe4 rfhi4 trardrobe. tor Al

though he dressed with the most scrupulous regard to neatness, his clothes were almost threadbare. Mr. D. did uot think that this proceeded from a niggardly disposition, and he dctermin ed to broach the subject, and, if possible, ascertain the real cause this he did in the manner we have before related. Soon after this conversation took place, Mr. D- le ft home on business. As he was returning through a beautiful little village, he alighted at the door of a rottae and requested a drii k. w , The mistres, with an ease and polite ness that convinced bin) that she had not always been the humble cottager, invited him to enter. II accepted the invitation and here a scene of poverty and neatness presented itself, such as he had never before witnessed. The furniture, which consisted of nothing more than was absolutely necessary, was so exquisitely clean, that it gave charms to poverty; and cast an air of comfort on all around. A venerable looking old man, who had not seemed to notice the entrance of Mr. D. sat leaning on his staff; his clothes were clean and whole, but so patched that you could have scarcely told which had' been the original piece. "This is your father, I presume," said Mr. D. addressing the mistress of the house. "It is, sir." "He seems to be quite aged, "He is in his S3 1 eai ; he has stir vived all his children xcept mscli." "You have seen hetter days." "1 have; my hmband was wealthy; but false friends ruined him, he endorsed notes to a great amount, which stripped us of nearly all our property, and one misfortune followed another, until we were reduced to poverty. My husband did not survive his lo-ses, and two of my children followed him "II .ve you any remai;.ivg children? "I have one, and he is my only support. My health is so ft eble that I ( anno? do much, and my fath r being blind needs great attention. My son conceals from my knowledge the amount of his salary; but I am convinced that he sends me nearly all, if not the whole amount of it.3' "Then he is not at home with yen." "No, sir, he is a clerk lor a merchant in Philadelphia." "Clerk for a merchant in Philadelphia! Pray what is your sou's name?" "Henry W ." "Henry TV.!" reiterated Mr. D. "Why, ho is my clerk; I left him at my hoMr , not a fortnight since." Hpre followed a succession of inquiries, which evinced an aixi,Jty and solicitude, thaf a mother only could feel; to all of which Mr. D. replied lo her perfect satisfaction. "You know our N.nrv ?" eaid the old man, raising his head from his staff; "well sir, then you know as worthy a lad as ever lived God will bless him. He will bless him for his goodness to his j poor old granutatner, tie aaueu, in a tremulous voice, while the tears ran down his aged cheeks. "He is a woithy fellow to be sure," said Mr. D. rising and placing a well filled purse in the hands of the old man. "He is a worthy fellow, and he shall not want friend." "Noble boy," said he, as riding leisurely alone;, ruminating on his interview "noble boy, he shall not want wealth to enable him to distribute happinegs. 2 believe he loves my girl, and if he does he shall have her, and with her all my propel ty in the bargain." Filled with this project, and determined, if possible to ascertain the true state of their hearts, he entered the breakfast room the next morning after his arrival at home. "So Henry is about to go to Englat'd, to try his fortune," he can.l eJy observed, "Henry about to leavs u?!" said Caroline, dropping the tvoik she held in her hand "ah ut to leave us and going to E!glandJ" she added, in a tone which evinced the deepest interest, "To be Isure but what if he is chill?" "Nothing, sir, nothing, only I thought we should be lonesome," she replied, turning away to hide the tears which she could not suppress. "Tell m, Caroline," eaid Mr. D. tenderly embrai ing her, "tell me, do you love Hnr) 1 vou know I wish your happiness, my child. 1 have ever treated you with kindness, and you have never untd now hid any thing Irom your father." "Neither will I now," she replied, hiding her face in his bosom. "I do mut sincerely esteem him. but do not for the world tell him so; he has never said that it was returned." "I will soon find that out, and without telling him.too," replied the father, leaving the room. "Henry," said he, as he entered the counting house, "you txpct to visit the country snorll) do you?" "Yes sir, in about four weeks." "If it would. not be too inconvenient," rej dned Mr. D. "I should like to have you defer it a week or two longer."

"It wiM be no inconvenience, sir, and if it would oblige you, I will with pleasure." "It will most certairdy oblige me, for Caroline is to be married in about live weeks, and I would not miss havingyou attend the wedding' "Caroline to be. married! sir," said Henry, starling as by an electric shock "Caroline to be married! is it possible?' "To be sure it is but what is there wonderful in that? "Nothing, sir, only it was rather unexpected, that's all." "It was rather sudden to be sure," replied Mr. D. "but I am an old man,

! and wish to see her have a protector, and as the nan of her choice is well worthy of her, I see no use in waiting any longer, and am glad that you can sta) to the wedding." "I cannot," replied Henry, forgetting what he had previously said. "You cannot," rejoined Mr. D. "why you just said you would." "Yes sir, but business requires my presence in the country, and 1 must go." "But you said it would put you to no inconvenience, and that you would wait with pleasure." "Command me in any thing ele, sir, but in this respect I cannot oblige you," said Henry rising and walking the floor u ith rapid strides. Poor fellow, he had thought his passion subdued, hut when he found that Caroline was so soon, irrevocably to become another's, the latent spark burst forth into an unextinuishable fltme; and he found it vain to endeavor to conceal his emotion. The old gentleman regarded him with a look of earnestness "Henry," ?aid he, "I-.11 me frankly do you love my girl?" 4 I will be candid with you sir," replied H nry, conscious that his agitation had betrayed him. "Had I fortune, such as she meri's, and as yu, sir, have a right to ( xpect, 1 should think myself the happiest of mn, could I gain her live." t "Then she is yours," cried the delighted old man: "say not a word about property, -my boy; true worth is better than riches. I was only trying you, Htiirv ; and Caroline will never be married to any other than yourself." The transportation from despair to happiness was great. For a moment Henry remained silent, but looksspoke v.dum At last, "I scorn to deceive you, sii," said he, 1 am poorer than what you suppose; I have a mother and grand tat her, who are , "I know u! I know it all Henry," said Mr. D. inteirupting him. "I know the reason of your parsimony, as called it, and I honor yon for it; it was that which first put it into my head to give you Caroline: so she s-hall be yours, and may God bless you both." Shortly after this conversation, Henry avowed his hne to Caroline, and solicited her hand, and it is needless to say that he did not solicit in vain. Caroline would have deferred their union to the ensuing spring; hut her father was inexorable. He supposed he should soon have to own one falsehood, he said; and they would willingly have him shoulder two, but it was too much, and he would not endure it: he had told Henry that she was going to be married in five weeks, and he should not forfeit his word. "But perhaps," added he apparentlv recollecting himself, and turning to Henry, "perhaps we shall have to defer it after all, for you have important business in the country about that time." "B -i merciful, sir," said Henry, smiling, I did not wish to witness the sacrifice of my own happiness. k,l am merciful," replied the old gentleman, "and for that reason would not wish to put you to the inconvenience of staying. You said that you would willingly oblige me, but you could not, indeed vou could not." "Y oi have once been young, sir," said Henry. "I know if, I know if," replied he laughing heartily, "hut I am afraid too many of us old folks forget it; however, if you can postpone your journey, 1 suppose we must have a wedding." We have only to add, that the friends of Henry were sent for, and the nuptials solemnized at the appointed time: and that blessed with the filial love of Henry and Caroline, the old people passed the remainder of their days in peace and happiness. The following singular incident is said to have occurred near Waterford a few yparsago. There is a bridge over the Mdiawk just below the Cohoes Falls, a long and dark passage, some fifty feet above the rocky bed of the river. It seems they were repaiiing the bridge, and forgot to close up the entrance on one side, when a horseman, ignorant of the risk he was incurring entered upon the dangerous passage. When he reached the other side, he found the toll-gate closed and the keeper abed, the bridge being deemed impassable to any but a goat or a goblin. The traveller, however, succeeded in knocking the fellow up, aad traduced

him fo come out with his lardern, after with some difficulty persuading him that he had not dropped from the cloud?. The recently awakened man, however, seemed so shy of the wet and shivering stranger, and cast so many fearful locks towards the dark alley from which he had just emerged, that the other impatiently snatching the lantern from hi hands, wheeled his horse towards the bridge. The moment, however, the light struck upon the skeleton beams & glanced on the water far beneath, the traveller was so shocked with his narrow escape from so horrible a fate, that he fainted upon the spot. His sagacious and sure footed horse had crossed upon the central timber of the bridge the planking having been all taken up and if he had swerved the width of a fetlock from his perilous way, would have involved his rider in the certain death that awaited him on either side.

Those who have never spoken in public, can scarcely judge of the consternation of an old lady who spoLs out in church. It was formerly the custom in country towns, for those who live several miles from the church, to remain duriDg the interval between morning and evening service. On this occasion she had taken some milk in a pitch er for the children; and in the most interesting part of the worship, a dog, who had followed them into the pew, thrust his head into the pitcher. Whether his head was too large, or the pitcher loo small, it is not our province to determine, hut having regaled him3clf, the pitcher still obstinately retained its position, and he was discovered backing out, wilh the pitcher stuck fast upon his head, and the milk streaming in every direction on his head and shoulders "Get out Put!" saya the old lady. Frightened at the sound of her own voice "Oh dear, I spoke out in meeting!" said she "There! I spoke out again O dear me, I keep talking all the time." jXezvburg Gazetlz The learned Dr. West, having married a lady by the name of Experiejice, who was very r, being a-ked what he thought of the married state, he replied, that by long Experience he had found it a good ihing io he. married. Influence of the Bottle. For the first time in our lives we were recently convinced ol ihe utility of the rum-bottle. In pa-sing by a cornfield, near the residence of the Shakers, E.dield, N. H. we saw a large number of rum-bottles, like so many murderers, su-pended withstringsabout their necks. TJte ingenious device had its desired effect. Nut a crow dared approach within the limits of the domain. Wiser than many who boast of high intellectual endowments, they seemed to turn away from the siht, with instinctive dread, and to croak upon Ihe wing, there's death in the bottle. This fact speaks volumes in praise of the superior sagacity of the Vermont Crows. No Work No Pay! fTTlHE subscriber having purchased of the JL patentee (Charles L.
