MAniUAGE OF MR. JOHN BEE OLE. All who have heretofore read the "Sleigh Ride," and "The Courting" will need no turther reconmendation of the following, than to be informed that it is from the same gifted pen. - From the Portland Advertiser.

Since I came qut in print about my sleigh riding, and frolicking and courting, 1 have entered into the matrimonial state, and left off dabbling in the newspapers. For a married man has a character to take care of. But folks tease and torment me so much, to let 'eoknow the particulars about my marriage, that I don't know but I had as good's set down, once for all, and tell the rest of my experience. CHAPTER III. . -r , t i " " 'Xr, . T a I en. wiAnfa. ii v f . whs n-ooa as mv wnr! . """A.Vu t .uanf ;..t r,. ! "!J1" side her bread is butteredbut v no matter; shan't say I didn't give her a chance.

"win vou take me ror ceiier or worserl" This put her to considering; and I f?avc a flour about the room, and cut a carley with my right foot. : As much as to say take your own tune. At last, says she, 'I'd as liv's have you as any bo dy in the world, John, but I declare I earft.' You can't, ha; and why!' Cause.' . - Cause what! Cause I can't and that's enough. I would in a minute, but for only one reason and that I am afraid to tell ye.' Poh! pob.1' says I 'don't be bashful- if there's only one stumo in the wav I ?-ne;s here's a fellow ' ' j f ? o Well, then, look tother wav, John, I can't speak if you look at me.' O yes there, novv's your time,' says I, with a flirt. The reason is Joe Bowers, the stage driver. Now, you shan't tell nobody, John, will ye.' Who would have thought this of Sally .Tones! It seemed to me, the very Old Boy had got into the women. They fairly put me to the nonplush. All this time, my popularity with the ladies was amazing. To see them flattering arid soft soaping me all over, you would have sworn Iliad nothing to do but to pick and choose. I had as much gallanting to do as I wanted, every where: and for politeness and gentility, I never turned my back to no man. Then, they were so thick and familiar with me, that they didn't care what they said or did before me; and finally, whenever they had any errands or chores to do who but 1 was the favorite bird, to fetch and irrv I was forever racing and cantering from post to pillar, to do their biddings. Rain or shine, i j snow or mud; nothing stopped me: and I may say, ! i: and I may say, I fairly earned their smiles, by the sweat of my1 "brow. Then, it was ) Mr. Bee'dle! What should ' we do without Mr. needle?' lint, whon T canrht. ;; one alone, and.began to touch upon the matrimonial ; sentiments, then how quick the tune was changed! the ways oi women are curious. Patty llean was not the first I run against by a long shot. I never lost any tiling for want of asking; and I'm plaguy apt to begin to talk turkey, always when I got sociable, if it was only out of politeness. Now and then one would promise, and then fly off at the handle; but most all contrived some reason or other for jrivinar me the bair to hold. One had taken a firm resolve never to marry no, j never, never! and the next Sunday morning she was published. Another chicken thought she was a great. deal too young to undertake to manage a family. At last I took a irreat shine to the schoolmarm, Huldah Hornbeam; though she was ten years older than I, and taller by half a yard of neck: j and when I offered my heart and hand", she fixed up j her mouth, says she, 'I've a great respect and es- ! teem tor you, Mr. Ueedle, but ' and so forth. Nothing will cool a man down quicker than 'respect nud esteem,' unless it is a wet blanket. But let Huldah alone; she had her eye upon Deacon Carpenter all the time. Well, as I was going moping along home, from Squire Jones', I fell in with Doctor Dinxrlev. The Doctor saw in a minute that something was the matter, and he went to work and pumped the whole secret out of me. Then he seemed so friendly that I up and told him all my experiences with the women, from beginning to end. Well, John,' says he, 'I advise you novx, to wait till the twenty-ninth of February when the gals turn round and court the fellows. It's none of my business, but, if I was you, I wouldn't let the women make a fool of me any more.' Well, I took a resolution and I stuck to it firm; for when I once set up my ebenezer, I am iust like a mountain. I stuck to it till along pretty well into January, when 1 had to go to singing school. I must goto singing &chool, for I was leader in treble, and there was no carrying on the parts without me. But that was nothing, if it hadn't fell to my lotto go home with Hannah Peabody, four times running. Politeness before every thing. Well, she kept growing prettier and prettier every time, but I only grit . . 1 11,, .. . ' JO my teem ana neiu on the harder. 15y and by, babbaday came round, and I fell sort of uneasy, moping about home; and says I, this re-1 solution will never set well upon my stomach with- j oat exercise; and before I had done thinking of this, j J was more than halt way to Captain Peabody's. It was about daylight down as I was passing by the ! kitchen; but hearing a sort of, snickering inside, I ' slipped up and peekeo into the window, just out of I "JJ81There va3 no candle burning for Mrs. Peabody re waa no candle burning lor Mrs. Peabody j ng of tallow but I could see Hannah and Pol j ge the help, telling fortunes, in the ashes, ; light.

Well, as I was afraid to go the house and court Hannah in the regular way, I had to carry on the war iust when and where I could: somtimes of a dark nirrht I could steal into the kitchen.

This raised my blood and I felt so stuffy that I

marched riffht oil; and never turned my head to the right or left, till 1 was fairly home and housed. Well, now, says I, my apple cart is upset in good earnest. And when I went to Dr. Dingley fur comfort, says he. 'John I wash my hands of this whole affair, from beginning to end. 1 must support my character. I am a settled Doctor in the town; and the character of a Doctor, John, is too delicate a tlower to go poking round and dabbling into every bod y'smess.'

And says I, 'Mister, can you tell me where one Squire Darling lives! w men squire uarung: say no; -muiu ixxu the name.' 1 1 is name is John,' says I. Faith, says he, 'they are both Johns, too; but one is a lawyer anu lotner a cooper. (.) then, it must be the lawyer, that I want,'! sr.vs J. Scpiirc, and fix things for ve. Hannah, savs I, this is lucky.' Well he carried us into a small one story house, ; ! a little further on, full of books, and papers and dust; land smelling of strong old dead tobacco smoke, j Here we sat down while he went out about our business. We waited and waited till long after dark J and were glad enough to see him come back at list, with a candie. 'The Squire is very sick,' says he, 'but I have over persuaded him.' And the next ! minute the Squire came grunting along in, all muflied up in a great-coat and Fpect icles on, and a groat tall woman with him to witness for the bride. Well, he went to work and married us, and followed u: with a right down sensible sermon, about 'multiplying and increising on the earth' and 1 1 . . . . .... .... , never ieit so solemn and serious. .1 hen 'olloweu kissing the bride all round: then thc certificates, and then I ga-ve him two silver dollars, and we got into the shay agan and off. After this, nothing happened to speak of for about a mouth. Kverv tiling was kept snug, and Capt. Peabody had no suspicions. But one morning at break of day, as I was creeping softly down Capt. Peabody 's back stairs, with my shoes in my hand as usual, I trod into a tub of water, standing on the third step from the bottom and down I come slam bang. The Captain was going to kill his hogs, and j had got up betimes, put his water on to heat and I was whetting his butcher knife in the kitchen.

Hut there was I to be no peace for me this day. 1 was in a constant worry and stew all the forenoon, for fear the Capyou have been cheated and bamboozled. A'our mar- j - riage ain't worth that. It was all a contrivance of Jack Darling the lawvor and his two imps. Jo Morey and Peter Scamp.' This was all he could i tay tfll he had wiped his face and taken a swig of I cider to recover his wind; and then ho gave mo the i ! nartieul irs.

The moment he "ot ei"ht of the Squire, he turned to, and called him all the foul names, he ronhl l.?v Ins tnn-mr. ir, i' i,iit ,n Imur. Tiu-. Squire denied every thing. The Captain downed the certificate, and says he, 'there's black and white against ye, ye bloody old sculpen. "The Squire knew the hand write was his nephew's as soon as he saw it, and the truth was brought to light. But, as the storm fell in one quarter, it rose from the other. Squire Darliiv hud smelt tar in his day and hadn't forgot how to box the compass; and as soon as the saddle was on the riht . horse, he set in and give the Captain his own back ao-in; and let in and give the Captain his own back ao-in; and let him have it about Nor-Xor-West, ri"ht Fn his teeth, till he was fairly blown out.
