THE RUNAWAY MATCH. t many years since, when bright-eyed haired Iaases were not so plentiful in New England as they are now, there pee ee the town of P—, a vill Jorts twenty-five miles , Base sok town, 8 peculiarly ugly and cross-grained, but wealthy ‘fai rmer. ‘Minnie was Danforth’s only child, and report said traly that she would be his sole legatec. ‘The old man was a sturdy farmer, and was esti- mated to be worth fall ten thousand dollars; at that period a very handsome fortune, te be sure. The winning manners and searing eyes of Minnie Danforth had stirred up the finer feel- fugs of the whole male portion of the village, and her father was peculiar and none succeed- ed in making headway with him or her. In the meantime, Minnie had a true and loyal lover in secret! Who would have su for one moment that such a fellow would dare & look on beauty and refinement? His name was Walker, or, as he was generally called, Joe Walker. and was simply a farmer, employed by old Danforth who had intrusted Joe with the ment of his place two or three years. Bat a very excellent farmer and a ees manager was this Joseph Walker. He was a young man—only twenty-three, and actually fell in love with this beautiful, pleasant, joyous, Minnie Danforth, his employer's daughter. But the strangest part of the occurrence was that Minnie returned bis love earnestly, truly and frankly, and promised to wed him at a fa- vorable time. : Things went on merrily fora time, but old Danforth discovered certain glances and atten- tions between them which excited his envy and suspicions. Very soon afterwards, Joe learn- ed the old man’s mind directly in regard to his fature disposal of Minnie; and he quickly saw his case a hopeless one, unless he resorted and VOL. X.

Bushes and weeds may be formed by <g the fine moss, to set out on the promontory an at the roots of the trees. A stem here and there will represent a blasted tree, and a faded leaf a hill in the distance. In the foreground taste may be exercised without lunitation, for the materials are richer than ever painter com- manded, A beaten highway is formed by leaving a space of the dark leaf that was first glued to the paper ; this may be embellished by # rail fence made of the long brown tyigs that fall in profusion from the pine trees, and aro called “‘ pine trash.’’ Rocks, islands, nioun- tains, and every picturesque element of a fine landscape, may be imitated by leaves of va- rious shades; and with a few touches of black crayon todeepen the shadows in the seams and crevices a beautiful picture may be pro- dused, which, covered in glass,in an elegant frame, will bear the paim from the most elab- orate oil painting. Some magnificent pieces of country scenery, with meadow and forest, hill and Tavines, cottage and mansion house, lake and river, and other objects familiar in a view, have been finished in this manner with a per- fection of coloring unattainable by art. One great advantage of this kind of work is, that its materials cost nothing, while the most charming results may be obtained. And what a lovely employment for the delicate fingers of ladies who are longin in the rural districts for some new pastime! What interest is given to a ramble inthe woods! Notadry leaf whistled past by the wind, not a bunch of spiral grass or cup-like moss crushed by the foot, but is looked upon as a rich contribution to the artist’s stock ! Surely the bounties of Nature and Providence are unimaginable in number! The taste for the beautiful will be cultivated, while a cheer- ful and thankful spirit is encouraged, by such to a stratagem, s) he set his wits at once to rural employmonts.—New York Express. work. By an agreement, an apparently settled dislike and coldness was observed between the two lovers towards each other for five or six months ; and the father saw, as he believed, with the crops.

Then by agreement also between them Joe absented himself from home every evening — after night ; for full three months wae did Joe disappear as soon as his work was fin- ished, toreturn at late bed time. This was unusual and old Danforth determined to find out the cause of it. Joe frankly confessed that he was in love with a man’s daughter who resided less th three miles distant; but, after a faithful attach- ment of several months, the old man utterly re- fused his appliction fur the young girl's hand. This was capital—just what the old man de- sired. This satisfied him that he had made a mistake in regard to his own child; and he would help Joe to get married, and thus stop all farther trouble or suspicions at home. So he said: “ Do you like her?" “ Yes, sir—yes.”’ * Then marry her." * Bat I can’t; her father objecta—"’ “Poh! let him do so; what need you care? Run away with her!’’ « Elope ?”” “Yes! Owith her at once. If the gal will join you, all right, marry her; bring her here ; you sball have the cottage at the foot of the iil: T'll furnish it for you ; wages shall be in- creased ; and the old man may like it or not.’’ *Bat—" . “But no buts, Joe. Do as I bid you—go about it at once, and—’’ * You will stand by me?”’ “ Yes, to the last. I know you, Joe; you're a good fellow and a good workman, and will make any body a good son or husband."’ “The old fellow will be so mad, though.” ; “Whocares’ Go, now, quickly but quiet- y.”? * To-morrow night, then,’’ said Jue. “ ¥es.”* «Pt hire Clover’s borse."’ * No you shan’t."” © Why not’ “Take my horse—the best one, young Mor- gan; he'll take you off in fine style in the new phaeton.”” ** The old gentleman will be astonished.”’ “Never mind; goon. We'll turn the laugh onhim. I'll take care of your wife at any rate.’* * [ido it,” said Joe. “ You shall,’’ said Danforth; and they parted in good spirits. An hour after dark, on the following evening Joe made his appearance, dressed in a new black suit, and really looked very comely. The old man bustled out to the barn with him, helping to harness young Morgan to his new phaeton. A few rods from the house he found Minnie, as by previous arrangement, and repaired to the village; the parson very quickly them one in holy wedlock. Joe took his bride and soon dashed back to the town of P—, and halted at old Danfurth’s door who was really looking for him with open arms. **Isit done’”’ cried the old gentleman. “Yes!” answered Joe. * Bring her in,” continued the old fellow in high glee, ‘never mind compliments here ;° and the honest farmer rushed away for lights, and retorned almost immediately. “ Here’s the certificate, sir,’ suid Joe. “ Yes, yee—" * And this is my wife !"’ he added as he pass- ed to his beautiful bride, the bewitching and lovely Minnie Danforth. * What?” roared the old file, “what did you say? Joe—you villain, you scamp, you auda- cious cheat, you—you——”’ “It is true, sir, we are lawfally married; you advised me in this course; you assisted me; = planned the whole affair; you lent mea orse; you thought me, last night, worthy of any man’s child; you encour: me, you of- fered me the cottage at the foot of the hill, ou 7G aidn't, I deny it. You're a—a——”” “Calmly, now, sir,’”’ said Joe. And the en- treaties of the happy couple were at once united to quell the old man’s ire, and to persuade him tw acknowledge theig union. He gave in reluctantly ; and the fair Minnie Danforth was overjoyed to be duly acknowl- edged as Mrs. Joe Walker. he marriage proved a joyous one, and the original assertion of Danforth is truthful inevery respect. The cunning lover was a good son and a faithful hasband, and lived many years to enjoy the happiness which followed upon bis runaway match; while the old man never cared to hear much about the details of the elope- ment, for he saw how completely he had over- shot his mark.

The markets sympathize with the news, and the commerce of the wholo world responds to the intelligence. Now, tho strange thing in all this is, that while the public feels so much concern about deeper of the soil, they give comparatively so little thought about the use that is made of it; in other words, use so little intelligence and skill in preparing it for eon- sumption. “God sends food,”’ says the proverb, “but the Devil seuds cooks.” That is more true of this country than of almost any other. Our cooking, as a general thing, is committed to very incompetent hands. Little preparation or teaching is deemed necersary to qualify a woman to prepare our dinners for us, and most people are obliged to content themselves with the very narrow range of dishes which, in the course of time, such persons learn to make the least unpalatable. The result of employing and depending upon cooks bred in this way is, that four-fifths of the good things within the reach of even the poorest classes are wasted, because no one knows how todress them. There is scarcely an animal dressed for the table, nor a vegetable taken from the garden, of which a large portion of its edible matter is not lost through ignorance, and a good part of the rest is half spoiled from the same cause. Weshould scarcely be chargeable with overstating the case, if we were to say that the cooks of this city throw away enough, from not knowing how to use it, to feed the entire population. We have sometimes doubted whether a pretty sharp famine would not, on the whole. bea good La for the United States; whetherthe country would not be actually richer, instead of poorer, by a failure of the erops, which would teach all classes to find out the uses and value of what is now thrown away, and to use more prudently what is now used most wastefully. fe will re- quire some Providential lesson like this to sup- ply what this country needs now as much as anything else—a race of eapable cooks. In this sense, the breadth and prodigious fruitfulness of our country is a calamity. We heve no need to exhaust all the resources of our larder, food of one sort or another is always so abundant. The. consequenee is, that, with everythin; plentiful, the Americans are a very badly fed people, and hence the universality of dyspepsia and consumption among ua. We want sehools for the training of cooks. Our large eating establishments ought to be prepared to graduate a class of male and fe- male cooks every half year, whose diplomas would be sufficient evidence of their compe- tence. They could, in part, pay for their tui- tion by their service, and partly in money. If the head cook of such hotels as the Astor House or the St. Nicholas would engraft a branch of instruction like this upon their culinary depart- ments, his pupils would soon command large premiums. We want schools for cooks as much as for physicians—even more; for people want to eat every day, but they only want a doctor occasionally, and they would want one much less frequently if they were better fed—that is, if their food were better prepared. How often does it happen that the professing cooks of this metropolis know how to make good bread or to boil @ potato or acabbage’ It isas much asa man’s life is worth to travel through the inte- rior and Jess frequented portions of our western country, 80 apt are they at spoiling the produce of the soil in preparing it for the table, The more we look at this subject, the more extraordinary it seems that schools are not opened for giving systematic instruction in this really fine art. Jn three months, a man or wo- man of fair intelligence could be taught more of the art of preparing the gifts of Providence for the nutriment of man, than is possessed by ninety-nine hundredths of the most experienced of our American cooks.
