Mrs. Benoni Benson was fat, fair, and forty- four, when her husband, a soap-boiler in very pe por a ie call arama life- of cont to the general purification eo yee took: ~ from her grief in a pretty cottage, situated on the prin- of mankind. Mrs. cipal street in ¢ ‘ At first she was inconsolable; and she used tosey, with @ solemn emphasis, which carried conviction to the hearts of her hearers, that nothing but the thoughts of her daughter Florence would have prevented her from termi- nating her existence by the intervention of ison. Mrs. Benson was, in no small degree, in- debted to her daughter—since in less than three months she threw aside her mourning, and be- came as lively as ever. Touching Florence, she had now reached the mature age of nineteen, and began to think herself marriageable. She was quite pretty, and tolerably well accomplished; so that her i ws that respect were very likely to be fulfil Just over the way lived Squire Markham, the village lawyer, just verging upon fifty, with his son Charles, who was about half his age. the Being a young man of agreeable exterior, latter was quite a favorite with the young ladies in the neighborhood, and considered in common parlance quite a“ catch.”” As yet, however, his affections had never been seriously entangled, and might have re- mained so, had it not been for the sudden ap- parition, one ee of Florence Benson, riding by on horsebac! It struck him at once that she was remarka- bly graceful, and really quite pretty. There- upon, he cultivated her acquaintance with in- creased assiduity, and after a while asked the fatal question. Florence answered in the affirmative, and, instead of referring him dutifully to her mother, hinted (being a romantic young lady) how charming it would be to steal away to the next town and get married, without anybody being the wiser. Charles Markham caught at the hint, which chimed with his own temperament, and he re- solved to adopt it. In order that it might be carried out with perfect success, it was resolved to seem indif- ferent tv each other until the day fixed, in order to ward off any suspicion which might other- wise be aroused. So well were these arrangements carried out, that Mrs. Benson had no suspicion of what was going on Not so with Squire Markham. He had ob- tained a clue to the affair in some manner, so that he not only discovered the fact of the elope- ment, but even the very day on which it was to occur. “ Sly dog, that Charles,”’ thought he to him- self, as he a the fire in his dress- ing-gown and smoking-cap, leisurely puffi ana a choice Havana R BatlI dca't wae der at it; he only takes after me. Still, I owe him something for keeping it so secretly from me. It would be a good joke, if I were a little younger, to cut him out, and marry her in spite of him.”” Squire Markham, who was one of those jovial widowers who take life as itcomes, mused more and more on this idea, stuck out by chance as it were, till he really began to think it worth something. “ After all,” shouted he, “Iam not so old either, or at least the ladies say so—and the ought to be good judges in such matters. have been @ bachelor a good while, and ought to have found out before this how much more comfortable it would be to have a pretty wife to welcome me home, and do the honors of iay table, and to help me keep that rascal Charles rder. iigad' I've half a mind to do it.”” Squire Markham tock two more whiffs, and exclaimed : “I vow, I'll do it.”” What this mysterious 17 was, we will leave the reader to infer from his very next move- ment. Ringing the bell, he inquired of the Servant - “Is Charles at home?” “No, sir,’’ was the reply, “ he went out this Morning, and will be gone all day.”’ “Humpb! that'll do. So much the better for my purfoses,” thought he, when alone. “Now I shall have the ground left to myself. away : day Nothing like striking while the iron is hot. I'll write to ber in his name, telling her that I have altered my mind, and will go just at dark to-morrow night. She won't suspect wena | Let me see; the raseal intends runnin next Thursday evening, and to-day is M util the knot is tied, and then what a laug! we shall bave.”” be mee Markham did not consider that it might make a little difference with the bride expectant. He considered it a capital joke on his son, but looked no further. He according- ly drew bis writing materials towards him, and indited the following epistle : “ Dearest Florence: 1 find the day fixed for our elopement on some accounts objectionable, and would like, with your permission, to sub- stitute to-morrow evening. If | hear nothing from you, I shall infer that you assent to this arrangement. I shall havea carriage in readi- uess under the old oak tree at halt past eight eclock. You can walk there without attract- ing suspicion, and as there will be no moon, we shail be able to carry out our plans without fear of diseovyery. Iam happy to say that the Governor doesn’t suspect in the least that a daughter-in-law is in store for him. Won’t he be ashamed ? “Your devoted Carer.” “Egad!” said Squire Markham, laughing heartily, “that isn’t bad? especially about pep tty Soe Charley coulda’t have done ji any better bimself.’’ So saying, be sealed it up andsent it over by alittle Irish boy in his employment, having first marked “ private’’ in the corner. - Be careful, Mike, togive it to Miss Benson, and don’t let any any one else see it,” was the parting injunction. Mrs. Benson was sitting in her quiet parlor, casting her eyes over alate number of Harper's Magazine. Florence being absent on a shop- ping excursion, she was left alone. The ring- ing of the bell brought her to the door. Wii surprise she saw that the person who rang the dell was Mike, Squire Markham’s “ boy of all work. “Please, ma’am,”’ said he, holding out the “a letter for Miss Benson, an’ it’s “honor that nobody else should see it.”’ the air of mystery conveyed in this charac- teristic address aroused Mrs. Benso:)’s curiosi- pb arpa when she observed that it was ad to her daughter, and not to herself, a8 the sup .

A Western correspondent of the New York Journal of Commeree, writi: country, says a woman has numberiless wars, battles and personal conflicts; and, strange to say, she was the origin of the protracted war between the Sioux and Chippe- was. The two nations must have formerly n friendly, and at peace with each other, until a rupture took place at Yellow Lake, on the St. ‘There, as the story goes, the tribes met for a tete-a-tete, and, when they came to sepa- rate, the wife of a noted Chippewa chief went The Chippewa followed and overtook them, and killed the guilty pair,whom he found sitting side by side. the Sioux avenged his death, and there has So much for Indians.
