He wore a weed floating from his hat nearly a feot long. It was the t weed that had ever been mounted at Puddle- ford; but our readers must ae Bor — Longbow was a magistrate, me ae in the community. And while the reader is | about it, he may also know that the Squire is | not the only man, east or west, who has ven- Ebeniig WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1857. VOL. IX. Aunt Graves agreed to “‘zeflect on’t.’” It was not long after this consultation that Mrs. Swipes to “smell a rat,” as she said. She commanded Mary Jane Arabella “never to darken the doors of the old hog, Longbow, agin; and as for that female critter, Graves, she'd got a husband livin’ down at the | East’ard, and they'd all i ae prison for life the first thing they know'd. Sister Abigail declared she’d “have Aunt Graves turned out of church if she married a man that warn’t a member.”’ This was agreat tured upon a little ostentation over the grave of |-deal for Sister Abigail to say, for she had been t ted—nor woman either. oe to be the next Mrs. Longbow? That was the question. The public, indeed, asked it long before the Squire. Who was to | have the honor of presiding at the Squire’s ta- What woman was to be placed at the d of society in Puddleford? The Swipcres Beagles, Aunt Sonora, Aunt Craves, and Abigail, and scores of others all began to speculate upon this important subject,—even | Turtle and Bates indulged in a few general remarks Aunt Sonora gave it as her mind that the Squire “ought to be pretty skeery how he married anybody, ‘case if he got one of them flibberfegibber sort ‘o wimmen, she’d turn the whole house inside out, and he’d be one of the t miserable of all men.’’ She said “‘ if he wed what was good for himself. he'd jest keep clear of all the young girls that were fising and fidgeting round him, and go right in for some old stand by of a woman that knowed- | how to take the brunt of things—but lors a | me,”’ continued Aunt Sonora, “they're all like my uncle Jo, who married in a hurry, and | repented afterwards—and the poor dear old | soul ar’n’t had a minute's peace since.” | The Swipeses and Beagles, who belonged to | a clique that had, in times past, warred — Longoew & Co., * thought it would be shame- ful for the Squire to marry at all—it would be | an insult agin the memory of poor old Mrs. | Longbow. who was dead and gone.” (Some »ecople, you know. reader, abuse the living, | bat defend the dead.) “And if the Squire should marry, they should think, for their | »art. that she'd rise up out of her grave and haunt him' She could never sleep easy if she | knowed that the Squire had got some other woman who was eating her presarves and wearing out clothes, aan lording it over the | house like all possess'd."’ } Other opinions were expressed by other per- sons—in fact, the Squire's widowerhood was the great concern of Puddleford. “ He was so | well on te do,”’ as Aunt Sonora used to eall it, | that he was considered a great *‘ catch.”’ | After afew weeks of sorrow, the Squire him- | self really began to entertain notions of matri- mony. Itis true that he had passed the age of sixty, andit required a great »ffort to get up a sufficient amount of romance to carry out such an enterprise. The symptoms began, however, to wax strong. The first alarming | indication was his attendanee at church. The Squire had always been a kind of heathen: in | this respect he had for many years set a poor | example; but the po who want to marry will go to charch. hether this is done to | get up a reputation, or simply to take a survey | of the ae female stock yet remain- } in . [cannot say The Squire was “fixed up’ amazingly the first time I saw himin church. His hair had been cut, and thoroughly greased. His shirt collar covered his ears; and his boots shone like a mirror. Aunt Sonora said he looked | ~ enymost as good as new.” Aunt Graves was in the choir that day, and she sung as she never | sang ;before. She blowed all ‘a kanvy state | musie—strains that lifted her on her toes— directly into Squire Longbow's face. Whether | Aunt Graves had any design in this is more | than I can say; but I noticed some twinges | about the Squire's lips, and a sleepy wink of | the eye. that looked a little like magnetism. | It was ridiculous, too. that such an old castle should be stormed by music. Squire exhibited other symptoms of He grew more pompous in his ions, disposed of cases more summarily, anl quoted more law latin more frequently. It was about this time that he talked about the iea’’ instead of vex populi. He used to “ sqaash” proceedings before the case was half presented, and, in the language of Turtle, he ‘tore arouud at a great rate.” Turtle said that the old Squire “ was getting to be an old fool, and he was goin’ to have him married or dismissed from office—there warn’t ny livin’ with bim.”’ There were a many anxious mothers; about Puddleford, who were very desirous of forming an alliance with the Longbow family. Even Mrs ipes,as mach as she openly op- | posed the Squire's marriage in general, secret- ly hoped a spark — be struck between him | aud her daughter Mary Jane Arabella Swipes; and Mrs. Swipes was in the habit of sending her | daughter over to the Squire’s house, to inquire of him *- to kuow if she couldn't do sumthin’ for him in his melancholy condition,” and Sister | Abigail went down several times ‘to put things | to rights."’ and was as kind, obliging, and at- | tentive to all the Squire’s wants as ever Mrs. | Longbow was in her palmiest days. On these | { | | occasions Sister Abigail used frequently to re- iniad the Squire of his Bl agrsiemenmeosy, and what an angel of a wife he had lost; and that | things didn’t look as they used to, when she was | around, and she didn’t wonder he took on so when the poor thing died.’’ Bat, reader, Ike Turtle had ordered things | otherwise. He was determined to strike up a | match between the Squire and Aunt Graves. So Ike made aspecial visit to Aunt Graves one | evening, for the purpose of “surve ing and | sounding along the coast, to see how the ters | laid. and how the old soul would take it,” to | use his own language. { have already given an outline of Aunt ! Graves, but I will now say farther that she | never had a offer of matrimony in her life. She. was what is termed a touchy old maid. She pro- | fessed to hate men, and affected great distress | of mind when thrown into their society. Aunt | Graves was just ironing down the seam: H cost that she had finished. when Ike called. Ike opened the conversatio: Aunt Graves that she ~ was li lonely like.” j ~ Lonely ‘nough, I s° i i | wee 3 pose,”’ she replied Snap- _ Don’t you ever have the blues, and get sorter | obstrep'rous ?"?

He even went so far as to indite the first letter of the Squire’s to Aunt Graves. This letter, which Ike exhibited to his friends, as one of his best literary specimens, was indeed a curiosity. I presume there is nothing else like it on the face of the globe. It opened by informing Aunt Graves that since the “ loss of his woman he had felt very grievous like, and couldn't fix his mind onto anything—that the world didn’t seem at all as it used to do—that he and his woman had lived in peace for thirty years, and the marriage state was nat’! to him; that he had always liked Aunt Graves since the | very first time he sved her, and so did his woman too,” and many more declarations of similar import, and it was signed “J. Longbow, Jus- tice of the Peace,’’ and sealed, too, like his legal processes, that his dignity might command even if his person did not win the affections of this elderly damsel. + Aunt Graves surrendered—all this within two months after the death of Mrs. Longbow. The Squire cast off his weeds, and made violent ious for matrimon; nd on a certain Therewas a great gathering at the Squire’s— a sort of general invitation had been extended far and near—the Swipesjand Beagles, Aunt Sonora and all. Great preparation had been made in the way of eatables. The Squire was rigged in a new suit of *‘ home made,’’ (made by Mrs. Longbow, too, in her life time) a white vest, and he wore a cotton bandanna necker- chief, with heavy bows that buried his chin, a pair of pumps and cloud blue stockings. Aunt Graves's dress cannot be described. She was a mass of flutteri ribbons, and she looked as though she weala take wings and fly. Bigelow Van Slyck and Ike Turtle conducted the marriage ceremony—the one the ecclesias- tical and the other the civil management. When the couple were ready Turtle sat down in front of them with the statutes under his arm, with Bigelow at his right hand. Turtle ex2mined the statutes amid profound silence for some time, turning down one leaf here and another there, until he found himself thoroughly prepared for the solemn occasion. Finally he rose, and with a gravity thatno man ever put on before or since, exclaimed— ** Miss Graves, hold up yer right hand and swear.”’ Miss Graves said she was a member of church and darsent swear. Ike said it was “legal swearing he wanted, | ‘cording to the staterts—not the wicked sort—he wanted her to swear that she was over fourteen years of age—hadn’t got no husband living no- where—warn't goin’ to practice no fraud nor nothin’ on Squire Longbow—and that she'd jest e geod a right to get married now as she ever ad.”” Miss Graves looked blank. Squire Longbow said “hed run the risk of the fourteen years of and the fraud, and finally he would of the whole on’t. The staterts was well enough, but it warn’t to be presumed that a justice of the peace would run agin’ em. Some folks didn’t know ’em—he did.’ Ike said ** there was something another in the statert about wunin’s doing these things ‘ with- out any fear or wa ee of anybody,’ and he guessed he'd take Miss Graves into another room and examine her separately and apart from her intended husband.’’ This was a joke of Turtle’s. The Squire said ‘ that meant married wimin— after the ceremony was over, that would be very legal and prope ez rs. Swipes sai the oath orter to be put—it would be an awful thing to see a poor creetur forced into mar- riage.’’ Sister Abigail thought se too. Aunt Sonora hoped there wouldn’t be nothin’ did wrong. “‘so the people could take the law on ‘em."” Tartle said that “they needn't any on em fret their gizzards—he was responsible for the law of the case.’’ Bigelow then rose, and told the pacuies to jine hands, and while they were jined, he wanted the whole company to sing a psalm. The psalin was sung. Bigelow then commenced the wedding pro- cess. Squire Longbow,’’ exclaimed Bigelow, “this is your wife, and some folks say the third, and I hope you feel the awful position in which you find yourself.’’ The Squire said he ‘felt easy and resigned— he had gone inter it from respect to his woman who was now no more.”’ ~‘ You do promise to take this ‘ere woman to eat her, and drink ber, and keep her in things to wear, so long as you and she lives ?"* “I do that very thing,’ responded the | Squire. . > ** And you, on your part,’’ continued Bige- low, turning to Aunt Graves, ‘ promise to be- have yourself and obey the Squire in all things ?’” Aunt Graves said she would, “‘ Providence permitting.”’ This marriage ceremony is, I believe, nearly word for word. “Then,”’ said Turtle, ‘‘ wheel yourself into line, and let's have a dance,” and drawing out his fiddle. the whole crowd, in five minutes, were tearing down at a furious rate, and when I departed, at about midnight, the storm was of a raging still higher. the whiskey and hot water circulated freely. Turtle looked qnite abstract- ed about the eyes, and his Sowers were grow- ing more and more uncertain. Bulliphant’s face shone like a drummond light, the voices of the females, a little stimulated, were as noisy and confused as those of Babel, and your humble servant: why he walked home straight as a gun—of course he did—and was able to distin- guish a hay-stack from a meeting house, any- where along the road.
