UNCLE JOSH. « & New England story. [eoxciupeD.] There the neighbor, who ‘‘did chores’’ for her of late, found the two when she came in. Josh had changed since his mother died, for the moment Mrs. Casey lifted his wife from his arm. and Iaid her patient, peaceful face back on its pillow, Josh flung himself down beside her, and cried with the passion and careless- ness of a child. Nobedy could ronse him, no- body could move him, till Parson Pitcher came in, and, taking his band, raised and led him into the keeping room. There Josh brushed of the mist before his drenched eyes with the back of bis rough hand, and looked straight at Parson Pitcher. “Ob Lord! she’s dead.” said he, as if he alone of all the world knew it. “Yes, my son, she is dead,’’ solemnly replied the Parson ; ‘itis the will .f God, and you must consent.” I can’t! I can’t! [ a'n’t a goin’ to.”’ sobbed Josh -**’ta’n’t no use talkin’, if I'd only ‘xpected somethin’, it’s that —— doctor! (th Lord! ['ve swore, and Miss Eunice is dead! ob gracious goody! what be I a goin’ to dv’ oh dear ' oh dear! oh Miss Eunice!’ Parson Pitcher could not even amile—the or fellow's grief was too deep. What could fe think of ® console him, but that deepest comfort to the bereaved her better state. -* My dear friend, be comforted! Eunice is with the blessed in heaven '*’ “L know it! L know it! she allers was nigh about fit to get there without dyin’. Oh Lordy! she's gone to heaven and I ha‘n’t! No—there was no consoling Unele Josh; that touch of nature showed it ite was alone, and refused to be comforted; so Parson Pitcher made a fervent prayor for the living, that un- awares merged into a thanksgiving for the dead, and went his way, sorrowtully convicted that his holy office had in it no supernatural power or aid. that some things are too deep and too mighty for man Josh's grief raved itself into wornout dejec- tion, still too poignant to bear the gentlest touch; bis groans and cries were heart-break- ing at the tuneral, and it seemed as if he would really die with agony, while the despairing wretchedness of the funeral hymn, the wailing eadences of -China,”’ poured round the dusty and cobwebbed meeting-house to which they carried bis wife in ber coffin, one sultry August Sunday, to utter prayers and hymns above her who now needed no prayer, and heard the hymns of heaven After this, Josh retired to his own house, and, according to Mrs. Casey's story, neither slept nor ate; but this was somewhat apocry- phal. and three days after the funeral, Parscn Pitcher, betaking welf to the Crane farm, found Unele Josh whittling out a set of clothes- peg* ou his door-etep, but looking very down- cast and miserable. “Good morning, Mr. Crane,”’ said the good divine * Mornin, Parson Pitcher ! hey’ a cheer?” The Parson sat down on the bench of the stoop, and wistfully surveyed Josh, wondering how best to introduce the subject of his loves; but the refractory widower gave no sign, and at length the Parson spoke. * T hope you begin to be resigned to the will of Providence, my dear Mr. Crane?” = une I don’t a speck !’’ honestly retorted Jos Parson Pitcher was shocked { hoped to find you in a better frame,” said he. * Lean’t help it!’ exclaimed Josh, flinging down a finished peg ewphatically. “1 an't resigned! I want Miss Eunice! ‘I ‘n't will- in’ to have her dead, Ican't and La'n’t, and that’s the bull on't! and I'd a —~ sight ruth- ' Tive sworn agin Lord-a-mas- y n she a’n’t here to look at me when I do. and Lm goin’ straight to the d——. Ob land‘ there it goes, oh dear soul, can’t a feller help himself nohow ?"* And with that Josh burst into a passion of tears, and fled past Parson Piteber into the barn, from whence he emerged no more till the minister's steps were heard crunching on the gravel path toward the gate, when Josh, eisagaines 2s Galileo, thrust his head out ot the barn windew, and repeated in a louder and more stronuous key, ‘I a’u't willin’, Parson Pitcher'’ leaving the Parson in a dubious state of mind. on which he ruminated for some weeks. finally concluding to leave Josh alone with bis Bible, until time should blunt the keen edge of his pain and reduce him to rea- son, and he noticed with great satisfaction, that Josh came regularly to church and con- ference meetings, and at length resumed his work with « due amount of composure There was in the village of Piaingeld a cer- tain Miss Ranney, daughter of the aforesaid Mrs. Ranney, the greatest vixen in those parts, and of course an old maid. Her temper and tengue had kept off suitors in her youth, and had in nowise softened since. Her name was Sarab, familiarized inte Sally, and as she grew up to middle age, that pleasant, kindly tithe being sadiy out of keeping with her na- ture. everybody called he: Sail. Kan., and the third generation scarce kuew she had another name. Any uproar in the villig@always began with Sall Ran. and woe be to the unlucky boy who ifeced an apple under the overhanging trees ot Mrs. Ranney ‘sorchard by the road, or tilted the well-sweep of her stony-curbed well to get adriak; Salil was down upon the offender hike a hail-storm, and cuffs ant shri: mingled in wild chores with her shril! scolding, to the awe #u-i consternation of every child within half a mule Judge. then, of Parson Pitcher’s amazement. when, little more than a year after Miss Eu- nies death, Josh was ushered into his study one evening, and after stroking a new stove- pipe hat for a long time, at length said that he ead “osnee to speak about bein’ published.’ The Parson drew a long breath, partly for the mutability of man, partly of pure wouder. Who are you going tu marry, Mr. Crane?” said he. after a pause: another man might have settened the style of his wife to be—not Josh Salt Ran.” enid he, undauntedly. Parson Pitcher arose from hix chair, and with both ts advanced upon Josh like hands in his pocket horse — foot together; but he stood his groun What in the name of common sense and deceney, do you mean by marrying that wo- man, Joshu-way Crane?” thundered the Par- eon ~ Well, ef youll set down Parson Pitcher, i ll ye the rights ont: you seo L'm dreadful pestered with this here swearin’ way I've go I kinder thought it would wear off if Miss Eu- nice kep a looking at me, but she’s ied,’ here dosh interpolated a great blubbering sob An} Dm gett’ sod—— bad! there! you see, Parson, [ doo swear dreadful; and I a'n’t no mére resigned to her dyin’ then I used ter be. and [can’t stan’ it, so I set to figgerin’ on i: out, and I guess ve lived too ensy, han't hed enough ‘fhetions and trials; 80 [ concluded I hel oughter put myself to the wind’ard of some squalls so’s to learn navigation, and 1 couldn't tell how, till suddenly Lf bronght to wi Sall Ran, who is the d—— and all, ch r!

So you see, Parson Pitcher, I wa'n't » goin’ to put myself in a way to quarrel with the Lord’s will agin’, and I don't expect you to hey no such trouble with me twiee, as you ve hed since Miss Eanice up an digd. I swan I'M give up reasonable next time. seein’ j4°4 Sell!” Hardly eonld Parson Pitcher stand this sin- gular creed of doctrine, or the shrewd and self- satisfied, yet honest expression of face with which Josh clenched his argument. Profess- VOL. XI. ing himself in great haste to study, he prom- ised to publish as well as to marry Josh, and, when his odd parishioner was out of hearing, indulged himself with a long fit of laughter, almost inextinguishable, over Josh’s patent Christianizer. Great was the astonisHment of the whole con- gregation on Sunday, when Josh’s intentions were given out from the pulpit; and strangely tsixed and hesitating the congratulations be received after bis marriage, which took place in the following week. Parson Pitcher took a curious interest in the success of Josh’s project, and had to acknowledge its beneficial effects, rather against his will. Ball Ran was the best of housekeepers, as scolds are apt to be; or is it in the reverse that the rule began? She kept the farm-house Quakerly clean, and every garment of her hus- band’s scrupulously mended and refreshed ; but if the smallest profanity escaped Uncle Josh's lips, he did indeed “hear thunder,” and, with the ascetic devotion of a Guyonist, he endured every objurgatory torment to the end, though his soft and kindly heart would now and thencringe and quiver in the process. It was all for his good, he often said, and by the time Sall Ran had been in M Eunice’s place for an equal term of years, Uncle Jozh ad become so mild-spoken, so kind, so meek, that surely his dead wife must have rejoiced over it heaven, even as his brethren did on earth. And now came the crowning honor of his life. Unele Josh was made a deacon. Sall celobrated the event by a new black silk frock, and asked Parson Pitcher home to tea after the eburch mecctiPe and to such a tea as is the great glory of a New Evgland housekeeper. Pies, preserves, cake. biscuit, bread, short cake, cheese, honey, frui!, and cream, were , shearay and pressed again upon the unlucky ‘arson, till he was quite in the condition of Charles Lamb and the omnibus, and gladly saw the signal of retreat from the table, he withdrew himself to the bench on the stoop, to breathe the odvrous June air, and talk over matters and things with Deacon Josh, while *Miss Crane cleared off.”’ Long and piously the two worthtes talked. = at length came a brief pause, broken by ‘osh. » Well, Parson Pitcher. that are calkerlation of mine about Sall did come out nigh onter right, didn’t it?”’ * Yes, indeed, my good friend'’’ returned the parson, “‘the trial she has been to you has been really blessed, and shows most strikingly the use of discipline in this life.” “¥ said Josh, ‘if Miss Eunice had lived, I don’t know but I should ’a been a swearin’ man to this day; but Sall, she rated it out o” me; and I'm gettin’ real resigned, too. The meek complacency of the eonfession still gleamed in Uncle Josh’s eyes, as he went in to prayers; but Sall Ran looked redder than the ¢:imson peonies on her posy-bed. Parson Pitcher made an excellent prayer. particularly descanting on the use of trials; and when he came to an end, and arose to say gooknight, Mrs. Crane had vanished. so he had to go home without taking leave of ber. Strange to say, during the following year a rumor erept through the village, that ‘+ Miss Deucon Crane” bad net been heard to seold once for months ; that she even held ber tongue under provocation ; this last fact being imme- diately put to the test by a few evil-minded and investigating boys, who proceeded tu pull her fennel-bushes through the pickets, and nip the yellow heads, receiving for their audacious thieving no more than a mild request not tu “do that,’ which actually shamed them into apologizing With this confirmation, even Parson Pitcher began to be credulous of report, and sent di- rectly fur Deacon Crane to visit him = Ilow’s your wife, Deacon ?"’ said the Par- fon, #s svon as Josh was fairly seated in the study ‘Well, Parson Pitcher, she’s most onsartain- ly changed. L don’t believe she’s got riled more’n once, or gin it to me once fur six months.*? “Very singular,” said Parson Pitcher. ‘I em glad for both of you; but what scems to have wrought upon her?” ~ Well!” said Unele Josh, with a queer glit- ter in his eye, **[ expect she must ’a ben to the winder that night you'n I sot a talkin’ on the stuop about fictions and her; for the next day I stumbled and spilt a Jot 0’ new milk onto the kiteben floor, that allers riled her; so I began to say— Oh dear! I'm sorry, Sall!’ when she ups right away, and vez, sez she— You han’t no peed to be skeered, Josh Crane; you've done with fictions in this world; I ain’t # goin’ to be made a pack-horse to carry my husband to heaven’ he never said no more to me, nor I to her, but she’s ben nigh about as pretty behaved as Miss FE) ¢ ever since, and [ hope LI ehan't take to swearin’. I guess [ shan t, but I do feel kinder crawly about bein’ re- signed. flowever, Uucle Jozh’s troubles were over. Sail Ran dropped her name for -*Aunt Sally,”’ and finally joined the church, and was as good in her strenuous way as her husband in his meekness, for there are “ diversities of gifts; and when the Plainfield bell, on autumn days tolled a long series of eighty strokes. and Dea. con Crane wag gathered to his rest in the daisy sprinkled burying yard beside Miss Eunice, the young minister who succeeded Parson Pit- cher had almost as hard a task to console Aunt Sally as his predecessor had to instil resigna- tion on a like oveasion into Uncle Josh. te List or Patests.—The following is the list of Patents issued froin the United States Patent Office, for the week ending April 27, 1858—each bearing that date: David Alter and Samuel A.
