MANAGEMENT OF LOVE AFFAIRS.

I've heard folk say that the wimmin was contrary.
Well, they is a leetle so; but, if you manage 'em
right—haul in here, and let 'em out there—you can
drive 'em along without whip or spur, just which way
you want 'em to go.
When I lived at Elton, there was a good many
fast-rate gals down there, but I didn't take a likin' to
any of 'em till 'Squire Cummins cum down there to
live. The 'Squire bad a mighty purty darter. If a
fellow seed her once, be couldn't look at another for a
week. I tuk a likin' to her rite off, and we got as
thick as thieves. We used to go to the same
meetin', and set in the same pew. It took me to
find tams and hims for her : and we'd swell 'em
out in a manner shockin' to hardened sinners;
and then we'd mosey home together, while the
gals and fellers kept a looking on as though they'd
like to mix in. I'd always stay to supper; and the
way she could make injin cakes, and the way I could
slick 'em with merlasses and put 'em away, was
nothin' to nobody. She was dreadful civil, tew,
always gettin' somethin' nice for me. I was up to
the huh in love, and was goio' into it like a locomo-
tive. Well, things went on in this way for a spell,
till she had me tight enuff. Then she began to show
off hinder independent. When I'd go to the meetin'
there was no room in the pew; then she'd streak off
with another chap, and leave me sucking my fingers
Ist the door. Instead of stickin' to me as she used to
do, she got to cuttin' around with the other fellers,
just as if she cared nothin' about me no more—none
whatever.
I got considerably riled, and thot I might as well
earn to the end of it at once ; so down I went to
have it out with her. There was a hull grist of fellers
there. They seemed mighty quiet till I went in ;
then she'd got to talkin' all sorts of nonsense, and sad
nothin' to me. I tried to keep my dander down. I
kept movin' about as if I had a pin in my trowsers.
I sweat as if I had been thrashin.' I couldn't stand it,
so I cleared out as quickly as I could, for I seed 'twas
no use to say nothin' to her.
I went straight to bed, and thot the matter over a
spell. Thinks I, that gal is just tryin' of me ; 'taint
no use of our pls)in' possum. I'll take the kink out
of her. If I don't fetch her out of that high grass,
use nie for sausage-meat.
I heard tell of a boy wonce that got to skewl late
in. the mornin'. The master sez—
" You sleepin' critter, what has kept you so late ?

" Why," sez the boy, "its so eierlaitin' slippery
out, I couldn't get along no how; every step I took
forward I went two steps backward; and I couldn't
have got here at all if I hadn't turned back to go
Luther way."
Now, that's just my case. I've been Puttin' after
that gal a considerable time. Now, thinks I, I'll Ro
t'other way. She's been sliteite of me, and now I'll
slite her. What's sass for the goose is sass for the
gander.

Well, I went no more to Nancy's. Next Sabbath
day I slicked myself up, and I do say, when I got my
fixing on, I took the shine off any specimen of human
. nature in our part.
About meetin time, off I put to Elthum Dodge's.
Patience Dodge was as nice a gal as you'd see twixt
bore and ender, any more than she wasn't just like
Well e Ephraim Massey was used to go and see her.
' - Went t«, meetin' with Patience, and sat right
afore N
• ftneY• 'didn't set my eyes on her till after meet-
in'. I kept
- —Y eye on Nance arter mestio', and seed
how the cat assw ropiw; she didn't cut about like
the had, and loed rather solemnly; she'd gin her
two eyes to kiss and make up. I kept it up till I was
ike to have got in a me,s about Patience. The critter
thoa
ltil
ame turkeywas goin arter her for good, and got as proud
-t.

One day Epbe came down to our place, lookin' as
7,rat:iy as a militia officer on a trainin' dsy,
" Halloa !” sez I, " what's broke?"
" Why," sez he, "I came down to have sati.faction
about Patience Dodge. Here I've been Courtin' her
ever since last year, told she was just as good as mine
till you came a going after her."
" Why," sez I, " what on airth are you talkin'
about ? I aint got nothin' to do with your gal: but
f
spore I had, there's nothin' for you to get wolfy
'about. If the girl has taken a Ilion, to me, 'taint my
fault; and if I have taken a likin' to her, 'taint her
fault ; and if we have taken a likin' to each other,
'taint your fault. I aint so taken with her, and you
my get her for all me ; so you hadn't ought to got
ravage about nothin'."

That tickled him, and away he went, a little better
pleased.
Now, thinks I, its time to look arter Nancy. Next
day, down I went; Nancy was all alone. I a-ked
her if the 'Squire was in. She said he wa n't.
" Cause," said I making beleev I wanted him, " our
colt sprained his foot, and I cum to see if the 'Squire
wont's lend me his mare to go into town."
She sed she guessed he would—better set down till
be cum in. Down I sot; she looked kind o'strange,
and my heart felt queer on the edges. Arter a while
sez she—
" Air you goin' down to Betsey Mastin's quiltin'?"
Sed I—" Reckon I shall."
Sed she—" I s'pos you'll take Patience Dodge ?"
Sed I moight, and again I moight nor."
Sed she—" I heard you're agoin' to get married."
Sed I—" Shouldn't wonder a bit—Patience is a
nice gal."
I looked at her—l seed the tears a-coming.
Sed I—" May be she'll ax you to be bridesmaid."
She riz up—she did—her face as red as a boiled
beet.
" Seth Stokes," sez she, and she couldn't say any
more, she was so full.
" Won't you be bridesmaid ? " sez I.
"No," sez she, and she burst rite out.
" Well, then," sez I, "if you won't be bridesmaid,
will you be the bride ?"
She looked up at me—l never seed anything 5o
awful putty—l took rite hold of her hand.
" Yes, or no, rite off," sez I.
" Yes," sez she.
"That's your sort," sez I, and I gave her, a buss
and a hug. I soon fixed matters with the Squire.
We then hitched traces to trot in double harness for
life, and I never had cause to repent my bargain.

DREADFUL THUNDER STORMS.
On Wednesday evening heavy muses of clouds passed
over Derby towards the east, and shortly afterwards vivid
fla.-hes of lightning were seen in the distance. The light-
ning played with great brilliancy for several hours, but
it was not until yesterday morning that we heard of
the fearful extent of the storm which seems to have
raged with terrific fury over a wide extent of country
embracing the east, north-east, and south-east. Hail
and rain tell in great quantities, and we have heard of
cattle being destroyed by the lightning in several parts
of this and adjacent counties.
At Staveley, a young man named Renshaw, of
Wardthorp, was killed. It appears that the deceased
and a labouring man were what is called " topping
up" a haystack, and had only about half the
waggon load to put on to accomplish it,
when Renshaw was struck dead and the man
knocked down and for a short time remained in-
s,..nsible. The horse in the waggon shafts was also
knocked down but not hurt. Young Renshaw's "billy-
cock" was shivered to pii-ces, and his clothes on one side
shaVered as if pigs had gnawed them. His boot-top was
cut off to the ankle as if with a knife, Mr. G. Shaw's
house roof was stripped of two rows of tiles, and some of
them were found across the road, a distance of more than
twenty yards.
Yesterday morning a storm passed over Derby, with-
out doing any injury. One flash of lightning was in-
stantly followed by a terrific peal, which startled the
inhabitants. The rain fell in torrents. At Willington,
a few miles from Derby, a woman was struck down, and
three colts were killed.— Derby Reporter.

MARKET IN TELLI G EN CE.
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 19.)

Strata.—To-day importers of West India Sugar ge-
nerally refused to submit to any further reduction, but
refiners and grocers manifested little disposition to
transact business, especially in brown and the lower
qualities. The purchases are only 500 hhds, &c.. in-
cluding at auction 235 hhds Barbadees, which went 6.i
per cwt cheaper, line yellow selling at 38s 6d to 39.,
good 37s to 38s, middling 35s 63 to 363 61, low 34s to
35a, good to flue grainy 41. 63 to 43,4 34 hhds Grenada
went rather cheaper, middling greyish at 34, per cwt.
With West India the market is still well supplied.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was op:rated in
with reluctance for home-trade purposes, and prices are
on the decline, Brown lumps selling at 45s to 46s per
cwt. In the market for Crushed Sugar much dulness
exists, and rates have a downward tendency ; the sup-
ply is also getting larger.
Mattemus.--This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with a little attention, and although there was a limited
supply at market, rates declined 6d per cwt. At auction
3,912 bags were disposed of ; good to fin? yellow went
at 36s to 37s 6d, middling 34s 6d to 35s 6d, low 33s to
345, fair to fine brown 31s to 335, and fine grainy yellow
43s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was no public
sale of Bengal or Mauritius, and the private operations
were trifling. There are sellers at rather lower rates of
soft yellow and brown kinds.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar met with little at-
tion, anti previous rates were supported with difficulty.
A cargo of Yellow liarmnah was sold at 20s 6d fur
No. 12; one fine at 22s 6d for No. 14. There is no
public sale of any sort.
MOLASSES.—AIthough there are sellers under pre-
vious rates for West India, yet operations are trifling
and confined to 200 puns. Antigua of fair quality at
14s 6d; St. Vincents and Nevis 12s 6d; and other sorts
12s. Bengal and Mauritius have been purchased with
reluctance at lis to lls 6d; Cuba and Porto Rico 134 to
13s 6d per cwt. Tnere is an increasing demand for
Honey, and the rates paid for Jamaica are from 40s to
55s per cwt for low to fine.
Cocoa.—Tnere are still several buyers of fine red
Trinidad at 50s to 55s per cwt. and few parcels are yes
on offer, other sorts are less in demand, sad cannot be
obtained at a reduction, there being no decrease of
supply. At auction 420 bags Trinidad were dispos,d
of; good red at 44s to 48,, low mid 41s to 445, grey
38s to 41s; 37 bags Grenada, mid 375, and 39 pkgs St.
Vincents mid to fine 37s to 434 6d. Stock of West
India is 4,200 bags more than last year ; and deliveries
for home consumption remain limited. Iu Foreign there
is yet little business doing, at the same time prices are
not lower, Bahia and Para being sold for 26s to 27s ; and
Guayaquil at 283 to 38s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee
was waly in limited demand, at the same time previous
terms are generally sustained. At auction 128 casks
and 520 bags were nearly all disposed of; low mid-
dling acid midel ng at 52s to 54s 6d, fine fine ordinary
48s to 51s, good to fine ordinary 44s to 475, triage

bales damaged sold at 48s 6d to 58s. Native Ceylon of
good ord quality is held for 40s 61 to 445, but there are
few buyers. Some parcels of Rio were disposed of at
36s 63 to 37s lo good ordinary. It is the general im-
pression that the Dutch Company's sale announced for
next month will go off well, and at rates above those
current here.

TEA.—In Congou trans=actions have been upon a
limited scale, although there are sellers upon rather
lower terms; low to good ord can be obtained at 9i i to

sorts remain most neglected. There are sellers of
Souchong at a reduction, and few buyers are to be met
with, especially for good fine. Oolong is in larger
supply, and purchases have been upon a small
scale at is to Is 7d. Of Green Tea la-ge parcels
are on the market, and dealers operating with
reluctance, rather lower terms have been acceded to;
Young Hyson, however, continues in good demand, full
rates are obtained. There is a plentiful supply of
Scented end Pekoe Teas, few buyers are to be met with
and quotaions continue to decline, especially for Orange
Pekoe. Of 19 369 pkgs Tea offered at auction during
the past week only 5,450 found buyers.

tion; and at public sale 1,414 bags Bengal of old impor-

cwt. Of Sydney Arrowroot 38 cases sold at lid to 2d
per lb.

mand to-day, and of 696 bgs a very small part only sold

Ginger 56 brls realized 528 to 77. for good to ord mid.
SPIRITS.--Of Demerara Rum several parcels have
been again disposed of at 2s to 2s 3d per gallon for 30
to 40 per cent over proof, and holders are firm. East

only a limited quantity on offer. Other aorta have
been in good demand; low to. mid 30 to 33 per cent
over proof at 2s 6i to 2s 84, good mid to good 32

nuns less titan last year, but in prices there is little dile
;'erenee, and deliveries are smaller. There are ready
sellers of Brandy, and purchases continue upon a small
scale for ail purposes. The rates aeeepted for Cognac
be.t brands of the vintage of 1850 are 4814 d to

parcels have been sold, but upon low terms. In Scot,h
