THE Directors of the Navarro county

Courtship.
There are few married men who could
not, if they would, relate some interesting
incident connected with their courting ex-
perience, aüd there are few unmarried, of
either sex, who do not take naturally to
just that style of narative. Everybody ex-
pects to be married at one time or another,
and consequently everybody is anxious to
know how everybody else has passed the
matrimonial Rubicon, managed the tick-
lish business. J. W , explains to us
how he came to be married ;
It may be funny, but I've done it; got
a rib and a baby. Shadows departed—
oyster stews, brandy cocktails,cider boxes,
boot jacks, absconding shirt buttons, wrist
and dominoes. Shadows present—hoop-
skirts, bandboxes, ribbons, gaiters, long
stockings, juvenile dresses, tin trumpets,
little willow chairs, cradles, bibs,sugar teats,
paregoric, hive syrup, rhubarb, senna salts,
squills and doctor's bills. Shadows future
—more nine pound babies, more hive syr-
up, (fee, <fcc. I'll just tell you how I got
caught:
1 was always the darodest, most tea-cus-
tard, bashful fell j w you ever did 6ee; it
was kinder in my line to be taken with the
shakes every time I saw a pretty girl ap-
proaching me, and I'd cross the street any
time rather than face one; it wasn't be-
cause I didn't like the critters, for \fas I
behind the fence looking through a knot
hole I could not look at one long enough.
Well, my sister Lib gave a party one night,
and I staid away from home, because I
was too bashful to face the music. I hung
round the house whistling Old Dan Tuck-
er, dancing to keep my feet warm, watch-
ing the heads bobbing up and down be-
hind the window curtains, and wishing the
thundering party would break up so as I
could get to my room. I smoked up
bunch of cigars, and as it was getting late
and mighty uncomfortable, I concluded to
climb up on tte door post. No sooner
said than I found myself in bed. 4 Now,'
says I to myself 'let her rip—dance all
uight till your wind gives out;' and cud-
dling under the quilts, Morpheus grappled
me. I was dreamiug of soft shell crabs
and stewed tripe, and was having a good
time, when somebody rapped at my door
and waked me. 'Rap' again—I laid low.
'Rap, rap,' when I heard a whispering, and
I knew there was a whole rsift of girls out-
side.
'Rap, rap, rap,' then Lib sings out—
"Jack, are you in there?"
"Yes," says I, a d then came a roar of
laughter,
"Let us iri," says she.
«' I won't," says I; "can't you let a fellow
alone ?"
" Are you in bed?"
" I am."
" Get up,"
"I won t."'
Then came another laugh. By thunder
I began to get riled. 4 Get out, you petti
coated scarecrows,' I cried, 'can't you get a
beau without hauling a fellow out of bed ?
I won't go home with you, I won't—so
you may clear out;' and sending a boot at
the door, I felt better, but presently, oh,
mortal buttons', I heard a still small voice,
very much like sister Lib's, and it said ;
" Jack, you'll have to get up, for all the
girls' things are in there."
Ob, what a pickle Í Think of me, all
covered over with shawls, muffs, bonnets,
and cloaks, and twenty girls outside wait
ing to get in I If I had stopped to think
I should have packed on the spot; as it
was, I rolled out among the bonnet wire
and ribboas in a hurry. Smash went the
millinery in all directions. 1 had to dress
in the dark—for there was a crack in the
door, and girls will peep, and the way I
jumped about was death on straw hats.
The critical moment came. After run
ning my hands all over my clothes to see
that every thing was all right and tight,
I opened the door and found myself right
among the women.
" Oh my leghorn !" cries one.
" My crimson velvet 1" cries another,
and they pitched in—they pulled me this
way and that, boxed my ears, and one
bright eyed little piece—Sal , her name
was, put her arms around my neck, and
kissed me right on my lips. Human na-
tur could'nt stand that, and I gave her as
good as alie sent. It was the first time I
ever got a taste, and it was powerful good.
I belive I could have kissed that girl from
Julius Crcsar to the fourth of July,
"Jack,"says she, " we are sorry to dis-
turb you, but wou*tyou see me home!"
" Yes I will," and auotber smack at the
gate too. After that, we took a krxx let
turtle doving after each other, both of us
sighing like a barrel of new cider when we
wero away from each other.
'Tvvas at the close of a glorious summer
day—the sun was fast setting behind a dis
tant hog-pen—the chickens were going to
roost-^-the bull frogs were commencing
their evening songs™-the pollywogs in their
native puddles were preparing themselves
for theshades of the night—and Sal r-ud
myself set upon an antiquated black log,
listening to the music of nature, such Üs
tree toads, roosters crowing, pigs grunting,
and now and then the mellow music of \
distant jackass was wafted to our ears by
the gentle zephyrs, that sighed along t?ie
mullen stalks, and came laden with thede-.
licious oder of pig sties. The last glittering
rays of the setting sun shown through a
knot-hole in the pig pen full iu Sail's face,
dying her hair with an orangepeal hue,
and showing off my thread bare coat to a
bad advantage ; one of my arms was ar^nd
Sail's waist, and my hand resting on the
small of her back—she was toying with
my auburn locks of jet black hue—she was
almost gone, and I was ditto—she looked
like a grasshopper dying with the hiccups.
I felt like a mud turtle, chocking with a
codfish ball. "Sal," says I in a voice as
musical as the notes of a,dying swan,' will
you have me ?" She turned her eyes heav-
enward, clasped me by the hand, had an
attack of the blind staggers, and with
sigh that drew her shoestrings to her pal-
let, she said:
" Yes!"
She ga?e clear out then and squatted in
ray lap-—she cork screwed, and I curflum-
ixed into it. I hugged till I broke my
suspenders, and her breath smelt of on
ions she ate a week before.
Well, to make a long story short, she
set the day, and we practiced for four
weeks every night, how we would walk
into the room to be married, till we got so
we could walk as graceful as a couple of
muscovie ducks. The night the minister
and company came, th¿e signal was given,
and arm in arm we marched through the
crowded hall. We were just entering the
parlor door, when down I went kerslap on
the oil cloth, pulling Sal after me. Some
cursed fellow had dropped a banana 6kin
on the floor, and it floored me. It
split an awful hole in my cashmere pants,
right under my dress coat tail. It was too
late to back out, so clapping my handover
it, we marched in and were spliced. Tak
ing a scat, I watched the kissing the bride
operation. My groomsman was tight, and
he kissed her until I jumped up to take a
slice, when, oh horror ! a six-year-old imp
had gone behind me, and pulling my shirt
through the hole in my pants, had pinned
it to the chair, a|id iij jumping up I dis-
played to the adíairing gaze of the aston-
ished multitude a trine" more white mus-
lin than wasjpleasant. The women giggled,
the men roared, and 1 got mad, put was
finally put to bed,and there all my troubles
ended,

As our readers are aware of the self
styled " National Executive Cormnitteeof
the Constitution of the United Party have
been decided upon the ninth of May for
the holding of the National ^Convention at
Baltimore, to make nominations for the
Presidency."
We go as far for a" Constitional Union"
as any one dare ; and have incurred, with-
out complaint or mortification, our full
share of abuse as a " submissionist," a
" Union shrieker," <fec.
* * * * . * *
This " Constitutional Party" movement
does not come properly endorsed to gain
favor with Democrats. The address to the
people of the United States, recently put
forth by it, is signed by a number of gen-,
tlemen who claim to be "a committee,"—
but of whom does not appear—except so
far as they inform Us, that.a 41 number of
gentlemen" recently assembled at Wash-
ington, in whose name they thus speak of
appointment. Among the names of the
general committee, appear -that of the
Chairman of the Whig Executive Commit*
tee appointed at the Convention assembled
at Baltimore in 1856, and that of the
Chairman of the National American Exe-
cutive Committee. We see the names of
no Democrats among them. The Boston
Courier (a Whig paper,} says that in «'sub-
stance, the movement is the same as that
which resulted in the nomination of Mr.
Fillmore, in 1858; and jt is not impos-
sible that it may have a similar operation,
rf the recommendatioes of the address are
carried into effect." With this difference,
however, that Maryland, which went for
Fillmore before, will doubtless go for the
Democratic candidates at the a;
election. In the present state
test between the Democrats
publicans, there is no room for
ty, with any prospect even of <
election into Congress.—Civilummnm^ •
