Tbc Widow Brtlolfs Widower Crane.
'From the Bedott Papers.)
Mr Crane lias a secret fancy for the widow's
daughter, Melissa, while the widow lias 'set her
cap' for him herself. Mr Crane has a private
interview with the widow to break his Weakne ss
for the young one.
Widow. 'Oh no, Mr Crane, by no manner
o' means, tain't a tninnit tew .soon for you to
begin to talk about gittiu' married atrin.
1 am
See
amazed you .should be afertd I'd think so.
how long's Miss Crane been dead? Six
months! land o' Goshen! why, I've knowed a
number of individiwal.-s git married in less time,
than that. There's Phil Bennitt's widder 't 1
was talkin' about jitst now she was Lucy Perce
her husbin had'nt been dead but tltree months
you know.- I don't think it looks well for a
tj-omi fTTU "Pe "ill Mill! .1 nut i i um' i fc. , .,
it's a different thing circumstances alter causes
you know. And then, sittiwated as you be,
Mr Crane, it's a terrible thing for your family
to be without a head, to superintend the do
mestic cousarns and fend to the children to
say nothiu' of yourself, Mr Crane. You dew
need a companion, and no mistake. Six
months! Good grievious! Why, Squire Titus
did'nt wait but sir, iree':s artcr he buried his fust
wife, afore he married his second. I thought
ther want no particular need of his hurry in' so,
seeiu' his family was all growed tip. Such- u
critter as he picked out, tew! it was very mi-!
suitable but every man to his taste I hain't j
no disposition to meddle with nobody's con- j
sarns. There's old farmer Dawson, tew -his
pardner haint been dead but ten months. To
be sure he aint married yet but he would u j
been long enough ago if somebody I know on
M gin him any incurridgment. But taint for
me to speak of that matter. IIe'; a clever old !
critter, and as rich as a Jew but lawful saks!
he's old enough to be my father. And thar's
Mr Smith Jubiter Smith you know him, Mr
Crane, his wife, (she 'twas Aurora Pike) she
died last summer, and he's been squintin' round
among the wimmin ever since, and he may
squint for all the good it'll dew him as' far as 1
am consumed thought Mr Smith a respecta
ble man quite young, aud haint no family
very well off tew, and quite intellictibla but I
tell you what, I'm putty pertickler. O, Mr
Crane! it's ten year come Janniwary, since I
witnessed the expiration of my beloved com
panion! an oucommou long time to wait, to be
sure but 'taint easy to lind anybody to Cll the
place of llezckier Uedott. I think you'ru the
most like my liusbrnd of any inddividwal I ever
see; Mr Crane. Six months! niurderation !
curius you should be afraid I'd think it was tew
soon why I've knowed '
Mr Crane 'Well, widder, I've been thinkin'
about takitt' another companion, and I thought
I'd ask you '
Widow 'O, Mr Crane, cgscusc my commo
tion, it's so onexpected. Just hand ice that
are bottje of cumfireoff the mantletry ?!ielf, I'm
ruther faint, dew drop a inite on my hundker-7
cher and hold it to my tiiiz. There, that'll dew,
I'm obleeged tew you, now I am ruther more
composed, you may proceed, Mr Crane.
Mr C Well, widder, I was going to ask
you whether whether '
Widow. 'Continue Mr Crane, dew, I know
it's terrible embarrisiu. I remember when
my
dezeased husband made hi., suppositions to
nie,
he stammered and stuttered, and was so awfully
flustered it did seem as if he'd never git it out j numerous others the mode of burial having

made suppositions to mc you see they re gen
erally oncerting about what kind of ay anser
they're agwine to git, and it kind o' makes 'em
tiarvus. But when an individdiwal has reason
to s'pose his attachments reciperated, I don't
see what need there is o' his bein' llustrated,
tho' I must say it's quite embarriesiti to me
pray continner.'
Mr C. 'Well, then, I want to know ifyoure
willin I should have Melicsy?'
Widow. 'The dragon?'
Mr C. I hain't said anything to her about
it yet thought the proper way was to git your !
consent first. I remember when I courted
Trypheny, we were engaged sometime before
mother Kenipe knew anything about it, and
when she found it cut she was quite put out,
because I didn't go to her first. So when I
made up my mind about Melissy thinks mo, I'll
dew it right this time, and speak to the old
woman first
Widow 'Old woman, hay! that's a putty
name to call me! amazin perlite two! Want
Melissy, ha-? Tribblcation I gracious sakes
alive! well I'll give it up now! I always
kuow'd you was a simpleton, Tim Crane, but I
must confess I did'nt think you was quite so
big a fool---want Melissy, dew ye? If that
don't beat all! What an everlasting old calf
you must be to spose she'd look at you. Why,
you're old enough to be her father, and more
tew Melissy aint only in her twenty oneth
year. What a rediculcus idee for a man of
your age, as gray as si rat tew! I wonder what
this world is a coming tew; 'tis astouishin what
fools old widdiwers make o' themselves. Have
Melissy! Melissy!'
Mr C. 'vv hy widder, you surprise me I d
no idee of being treated in this wav after you'd
been so polite to me and made such a fuss over!
me and the gals.'
Widow 'Shet your head, Tim Crane nun
o? yer sass to me. There's jer hat on that are
table, and here's the door and the sooner you
put on one and march out o' 'tother, the better
it'll be for you. And 1 advise you, afore you
try to git married agin, to go out west and see
efyer w ife's cold, aud arter you are satisfied on
that pint, jest put a little lampblack on yer
hair ?t would add to yer appearance ondoubt
edly, and be of gar vice tew you when you want
to flourish among the gals and when ye've got
yer hair fixt, jist splinter the spine of yer back
it would'nt hurt yer looks a mite you'd be
intirely unresistable if you was a ledle grain
straig-hter.'
Mr C. 'Well, I never!'
Widow 'Hold yer tongue, you cousarned
old coot you I tell 3e there's yer hat and here's
the door be off with yourself, quick metre, or
I'll give ye a hyst with the broom-stick.'
Mr C 'Gimmeni !'
Widow, rising Git out I say; I aint agwine
to stand here and be insulted nuder my own
rnff -and so, git along, aud if ever ye darken
my door agin, or say a word to Melissy, it'll be
wuss fos yon that's all.
Mr C. Treemenious! What a buster!'
Widow 'Go
'I v rr rrr
'long go 'long, yon
everlasting old gum. I won't hear another"
word, (stops her cars) I won't, I won't, I
won't.' Exit Mr Crane.
TransjiorJlnj Elephants."
On Sunday morning last, says the Charleston
Standard of Monday, the steamer Thomas
Swan, Capt. Green arrived at this port from
Baltimore, whence she cleared on the 31st ult.,
having on board four elephants, destined to add
to the attractions of Messrs Maybin's Circus,
which is to exhibit here in a few days. The
Thomas Swan experienced very heavy weather
during the whole passage, and her-nuwieldy
freight, unused to the "changeful motion ofthe
billow," forgot their wonted soberness, and dis
graced tlie name of elephant in sundry antics
more pleasant in the description than in the
able for his docility. When the waves broko
over the steamer, pouring into the house where
the elephants were kept, the one above men
tioned would testify his indignation at such
liberties by the most alarming demonstrations.
At one time in his delirium he charged upon an
unoffending barrel of pork, and pushed his tusks
fairly through it. The keeper, armed with a
pitchfork, attempted to quiet him, but that
usually formidable weapon, although applied
vigorously to his flank, failed of the desired
effect, lie continued to rage, until 10 o'clock
on Saturday night, when the sea was very
heavy, one side of the house was washed away,
and with it went the unfortunate elephant.
This occurred about twenty miles from land, so
in the dark night, and the rough waves, ;the
animal had but a poor chance of gaining 'the
shore. Under different circumstances, there is
no doubt he could have readied the land by
swimming, lie was valued a t $4,000, and was,
we believe, fully insured. Those in charge of
the animals, we learn, had for some hours, very
little hope of bringing either of the passengers
safely to land, as the weather was unusually
boi.-,tcrous, and the house in which the elephant-
were, was very much shattered.
Indian Mki.ics. A few days since,' whilo
the workmen on the 'Rail-road were xligging
through a mound on the other side of the creek
they came upon some interesting relies of a
tribe that has probably been strangers to these
parts for many years. The articles found were
a part of a thigh bone, a very large jaw bone,
a copper kettle containing some tobacco, some
trinkets, rings, and ear bobs, a shell ornament
and a silver rueilix. The kettle is of the pat
tern sold to the Indians since a date anterior to
the recollection of our oldest India l traders, by
the American Fur Company and by them only.
It is verv heavy, and of a peculiar construction,
being lined with a hard metal, apparently a
kettle within a kettle, and so made that op
position traders -were never able to procure the
same-kind of articles, although they spared no
'expenses and tried n'unierods establishments;
their peculiar construction seems to be a secret
known only to the nvetory whence the Fur
Company have always procured their supplies.
The crucifix, which is three or four inches
long, is of the best of silver, and is evidently a
a relict of the caVlv Catholic Missionaries, who
i visited this section as early as the middle ofthe
j seventeenth century.

Scli-hcr For. Tkees. W. II. Chamberlain,
of New York City, writes as follows to the
Scientific American:
Eight years ago last spring the "borer" at
tacked several lucubt trees, which were back
ward and sickly. I set to work and immediate
ly trimmed them, shaved off the rough outer
bark from the ground to a short distance abovo
the first limb, and scraped and washed the
branches with an alkaline lie to remove the
scruff, destroy the larva of insects, and promote
a more free contract with the atmosphere. I
then took a sharp bit and bored a hole hi
each tree close to the ground, and extending to
the- centre of each trunk. These I filled with
common flour of sulpher, closing them thin
wooded disks, and sealing them over with wax
to exclude the air. The effect of this treatment
was magical. The borer disappeared, the foil
iige soon expanded, and assumed a deep, rich
color, and during the season there was an
unusual deposit or increase of woody matter.
Sulphur, I believe, is but one of many other
agents which might be applied with success in
agriculture and horlieukure. We want more
experiments of this character, in order to extend
our know ledge, for, in my opinion, there ia.a.
remedy for every disease, if we but knew where
to find it, both for the vegetable and animal
kingdom. The snhthur lilueed in the trees was
! no doubt taken up by the sap, and dixi
tributed
through all their cells. It is necessary
ry that a
j sharp bit should be employed for boring tho
! holes so 29 to cut clean through the minute
tubes and not bruise them, in order to allow
the sap to How freely which it otherwise would
not if a dull fool were used, because it would
squeeze and close up the minute tubes or pores of
the tree in the same manner that a dull knife
