HOW TWO HOUSEHOLDS BECAME ONE.
Mrs. Benoni Benson was fat, fair and
forty-four, when her husband, a soap boil
er .in very good circumstances, was called
from his life ,task of contributing to the
Smeral purification of mankind. Mrs.
ensoir took refuge from her grief in a
prettycottage, situated on die principal
street in G
Atfirstshe was inconsolable; and she
usod to say with a solemn emphasis, which
carried conviction to the hearts of her
hearers, that nothing but the thoughts of
her daughter Florence would have pre
vented her from terminating her existence
by the intervention of poison.
Mrs. Benson was in no small degree in
debted to her daughter—since in Iras than
three months she threw aside her mourn
ing, ahd became as lively as she always
had been,
Touching Florence, she had now reach
ed the mature age of nineteen, and began
to drink herself marriageable. She was
quite pretty, and tolerably well accom
plished ; so that her wishes ip that re
spect were very likely to be fulfilled.
Just over the way lived Squire Mark
ham, the village lawyer, just verging upon
fifty, with his sou Charles, who was about
half his age. Being: a young man of
agreeable, exterior, the latter was quite a
favorite among the ladies in the neighbor
hood, and considered in common parlance
quite a “ catch.”
As yet, his affections had nev
er,been seriously entangled, and might
have remained so, had it not been for the
sudden apparition, one' morning, of Flor
ence Benson on horseback.
It struck him at once that she was re
markably graceful, and really quite pret
ty. Thereupon he cultivated her acquain
tance with increased assiduity, and after a
while asked the fatal question.
Florence answered in the affirmative,
and instead of referring jbun dutifully to
her mother, hinted (being a romantic
yOung lady,) how charming it .would he
tostealaway to the next town and get
married, without any body being any the
wiser. •-■v :
Charles Mairkham caught at t&e hint
which chimed with his own temperament
and they adopted it.
In order that it might he carried out
with perfect " success, it was resolved to
seem indifferent to each other until the
day fixed, in order to ward off any suspi
cion which might otherwise be roused. :
So well were these arrangements ear
ned out, that even Mrs. Benson had no
suspicion of what was going on.
Not so with Squire Markham. Ho
had obtained a clue to the affair in some
mianner, so that ho not only discovered
the fact of the elopement, but even the
very day on which it was to oconr.

ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1858.
curely puffing away a choice Havana,
‘ But X don’t Wonder at it; he only takes
after me. ' Still I nwe him something for
keeping it'a secret from me. It would be
a good joke, if 1 were a little younger, to
cut him out, and many her in spite of him.
s Squire Markham who was one of those
jovial TOdowers who take life as it comes,
mused more and more on this idea, stack
oat hy chance as it were, till he really be
gan to think it was worth something.
* After all/ shouted he, 4 1 am not so
old, either; or at least the ladies say so—
and. they ought to be good judges in such
matters. | ought to have been a bachelor
a good while, and ought to have found
out before this how much more comforta
ble it wpuld be to have a pretty wife to
welcome me home, and do the honors of
my table, and to help me keep that ras
cally Charles in order. Egad! I've half,
a mind to do it.'
Squire Markham took (wo more whiffs
and exclaimed:
* I vow I'll'do it.*
What this mysterious it was, we will
leave the reader to infer from his very
next movement. Ringing the bell he in r
quired of the servant:
4 Is Charles at home ?'
‘ No, sir; he went out this morning, and
■will be gone all day. 1
‘ Hurrah ! that’s all. So much the bet-'
ter for my purpose/ thought he, when
alone.
.‘Now I shall have the ground left to
myself. Let me see; the rascal intends
running away next Thursday evening, and
to-day is Monday. Nothing like striking
while the iron is hot. I’ll write to her in
his name, telling her that I have altered
my mind, and will just go at dark to
morrow night; She won’t suspect any
thing till the knot is tied, and then what
a laugh we shall have.
s<piire Markham did not consider that
it might make a little difference with the
bride expectant. He. considered it a cap
ital joke oh his son,{but looked no further.
He accordingly drew his writing materials
towards hiio, and indited the following
epistle:
“ Dearest Florence: — I find the day
fixed for our elopement on some accounts
objectionable, and would like, with your
consent, to substitute to-morrow evening.
If I hear nothing in return from you, I
shall infer that you assent to this arrange
ment. I shall have, a carriage in readi
ness under the old oak tree at half-past
eight o’clock. You can walk there with
out attracting suspicion, and as there will
he no moon, we shall be able to carry out
our plans without fear of " discovery. I
am nappy to say that the Governor does
not suspect in the least that a daughter
in-law is in store for him. Won’t he be
ashamed? : Your devoted
Charley.”
'Egad!' said Squire Markham, jlaugh
ing heartily, ‘that isn’t bad, especially
about humbugging me. Charley could
not done any better himself.’
So saying, he sealed it up and sent it
oyer by a little Irish boy in his employ
ment, having first marked ‘ private’ in the
corner.
*Be carefulf (Mike, to give it to Miss
Benson, and let no one else see it;’ was
the parting injunction.
Mis. Benson was sitting in her quiet
parlor, costing her eyes over a late num
ber of the ‘ Atlantic Monthly.’ Florence
being absent on a shopping excursion, she
was left alone. ringing of the bell
brought her to the door. With surprise
she saw Mike, Squire Markham’s boy of
all work. ?
‘Please ina’am,* said;he, holding out
the missive; ‘a letter for Miss Benson an’
it’s very particular that ho one else should
see it.’
The air of mystery conveyed in this
characteristic adoress aroused Mrs. Ben
son’s curiosity, especially when she ob
served tbat; it was addressed to her daugh
ter, and nqt to herself, as she supposed.
She returned to the parlor-~not to read
the Magazihe: that had lost its attractions.
‘ What in the world can it be ?’ she
thought, ‘ that they could be so secret
about? Cdn Florence be carrying on a
clandestinecorrespondence ? It mqy be
something that I ought to know.’ N
' Stimulated by her feminine curiosity,
Mrs: Bensdn speedily concluded that she
would be false to her responsibilities as a
parent, if she did not unravel this mys
tery. v--r ‘ 1
* Here's pretty doing J’.she exclaimed,
as seon'eia snecould recoverieibreatli.—
‘ So Florence was going to run awav and
get mainiied to that Charles Markham
much as Minting a word to me?’
She leaped her head upon her hand and
began to consider. She:was naturally led
to think of her own marriage with the late
Mr. Benson, ahd the happiness of her
married life, and she could not help heav>
ing a sigh at the recollection. •
‘Am 1 always to remain thus solitary ?
she thought. • * I've half a notion not to
show it td Jlorence, but to run away with
Charles to-morrow night on my account
It’s odd if I can’t persuade him that
die motheraint as good as the daughter/
she glanced complacently at the still at
tractive lace and form reflected the
BMP9r«
[independent in eyx&tthxng.]
Just then she heard the door open and
Florence entered. She'quickly crumbled
up the letter, and thrust it in her pocket.
Florence and Charles did not meet during
the succeeding day, chiefly in pursuance
of the plan they agreed to, in order to
avoid suspicion.
Squire Markham acted in an exceeding
ly strange, imanner to bis son’s thinking.
Occasionally he would burst into a hearty
laugh which he would endeavor to sup
press, • and pace up and down the room as
if to walk off some of his superabundant
hilarity.
‘ What’s in the wind V thought Charles
to himself. ‘lt can't be the Governor's
getting crazy.? Something was the matter
beyond a doubt. But what it really was
he had not the faintest conjecture.
At the hour specified, the Squire hod
his carriage drawn up at the appointed
rendezvous. He began to peer anxiously
in the dark for Florence. At length a fe
male form, well muffled up, made its ap
pearance. Thanking her in a very low
whisper, lest it might be suspected that
ho was the wrong person, he helped her
into the carriage, and drove off..
During part of the journey, nothing
was said. Both parties were desirous of
concealing their identity. At length
Squire Markham, considering that after
all he could not marry the lady without
her consent, and that the discovery must
be made before marriage, decided'to re
veal himself, and then urge his own suit
as well as he could.
My dear Miss Florence,’ he continued
in his natural voice.
‘ Why!’ shrieked the lady, ‘ I thought
it was Charles ’
‘ And 1/ said Squire Markham, recog
nizing Mrs. Benson’s voice, ‘ thought it
was Florence/
‘ Was it yon sir, who was arranging to
elop(s with my daughter V
1 No, but I conclude it was you ma’am,
who was meaning to elope with my son.’
‘lndeed, Squire Markham, you are
wrong; the affair came iucidently to my
knowledge, I concluded to take her place
secretly, in order to frustrate her plans.’
‘Egad, the very idea I had myself!’
said the Squire laughing; ‘ but the fact
is, ma’am, we have both been confound
edly sold, and the mischief of it is, I have
left a letter for Charles, letting him know
it; so undoubtedly he will take the op
portunity to run away with Florence du
ring our absence, and plume himself the
rascal, on the way in which I was taken
in.’
‘ I confess that I left a note for Flor
ence to the same purpose. How qhe will
laugh at me, What an embarrassment!’
‘l’ll tell you what,’ said the Squire, af
ter a moment’s pause, ‘we can carry out
our plans after all. We each came but
with the intention of getting married. —
Why not marry each other, and then you
know, we’ll make them believe we had it
in view all along and only intended to
frighten them.’
Mrs. Benson assented with a little urg
ing, and in the course of an hour the
twain were made one. They immediately
returned, but found as they anticipated;
that Florence and Charles, discovering
their departure, had themselves stepped
off in a different direction, with a similar
intent. x
They made their appearance the next)
morning, prepared to laugh heartily atj
the frustrated plan of their parents, but
learned to their astonishment that they:
had struck up a bargain for themselves."
Squire Markham and his new wife had
the address to convince them that it was
all a premidiated plan, and to this day
the younger pair are ignorant of the plot
and counter-plot Which led to this double
union of the two households.
A Part of a Piece. —Speaking of
Judge Baggett, reminds us of an occur
rence that took place many years since at
one of the dinners—-or, more properly sup
pers—of Yale commencement. The sub
stantials of the feast were already discus
sed, and the ‘ desert’ was being served up,
when Professor Benjamin Silliman, then
in the all possession of manly beauty—
and we have seldom seen a handsomer
man—-asked Daggett if he should help
him to ‘ a piece of mince pie.’ ‘ A part
of a piece, if you please,’ said Daggett.—
Silliman immediately commenced dividing,
subdividing and redividing a bit of a pie,
and continued the operation so long, that
Daggett at length noticed it, and inquired
what he was doing. ‘ I was trying,’ said
Silliman, ‘to get part of a piece; but cut as
I will, I can still find nothing but a whole
piece.’ ' ' ' ' ;

Is UUi
I There is a proverb that:
more easily maintain six k
six children one father.' Is this true?—
Has the ingratitude of chUdroh passed in
to a proverb ? Luther relates this story:
‘ There was once a father who gave up
everything to his children, his house, his
fields, and his goods, and i expected that
for this, his children would I support him.
But after he had been sometime with his
son, the latter grew tired oflhihij and said
to him, ‘Father, I have had a son born
to meio-nightand there, where your arm
chair stands, the cradle mijst come j will
you not perhaps go to my brother, who
has a larger room V After! jhe had been
some time with the second} son, he also
grew tired of him, and saidi < Father you
like a warm room, and tfyat hurts my
head. Won’t you go to my brother, the
baker V The father went/ and after he
had been some time with tjhe third son,
he also found him burdensbjme, and said
to him, < Father, the run in and
out here all day, as if it were apidgeon
bouse, and you cannot have‘your noon-day
sleep ; would you not be better off at my
sister Kate’s, near the town well?’ The
old man remarked how the Wind blew, and
said to himself, ‘ Yes, 1 will do so; I will
go and try it with my daughter. Woman
have softer hearts/ But lifter he had
spent some time with his 'daughter, she
grew, weary of him, and said she was al
ways so fearful when her rather went to
church or anywhere else, and was obliged
to descend the steep stair*!} and at her
sister Elizabeth’s there weic no stairs, to
descend, as she lived on the ground floor.
For the sake of peace, the qld man assen
ted, and went to his other daughter. But
after sometime she too was tired of him/
and told him by a third pferson that her
house was near the water/iwas too damp
for a man who suffered with the gout, and
her sister the grave digger’s wife at St.
Johns, had much drier Idlgipgs. The
old man himself, thought Sle was right,
and went outside the gate to his youngest
daughter Helen. But after he had been
three days with her, her litile son said to
bis grandfather, ‘ Mother said yesterday
to cousin Elizabeth, that the re was no bet
ter chamber for you than | uch a one as
father digs.’ These words • broke the old
man’s heart, so that he sank back in his
chair and died.’
Men’s and Women’s Rights. —Every
man should keep the wolf from the door,
and his mother-in-law too, iff he can. Ev
ery' woman has a right to be any age she
pleases, for if she were tostatjs her real age
no one would believe her. ISyery one has
aright to wear a'moustache; who can. —
Every woman who makes .puddings has a
perfect right to believe that she can make
a better pudding than any other Woman in
the world. Every man whoj carves has a
decided right to think of himself by put
ting a few of the best bits aside. Every wo
man has a right io think her child the
“prettiest little baby in the world,” and
it would be the greatest folty to deny her
this right, for she wonld be sure to take
it. Every young lady has alright to faint
when she pleases, if her loiver is by her
ade to catch her. Every fool has a right
to be on the best terms with himself; and
that man is a greater fool who differs with
him about those terms. . Every child who
makes a noise, has a right to be turned
out of the room; and supposing you have
not the right, you are perfectly justified,
if its parents are absent in usurping it.

Id the lonely village of. Genera, New

of their white brethren, recently formed g
Debating Society, for the purpose of im
proving their minds by the discussion of
instructive and entertaining topics. He
deliberations of the Society were presided,
over by a venerable darkey, who perform
ed bis duties with utmost dignity peculiar
to his color. The subject for discussion
on the occasion of which we write was,
‘Wiob am de mudder ob de chicken—rde
hen wot lays de egg, or de hen wot hatch
es de chick f* The question was warmly
debated, mid many reasons pro and pea
were urged and combated by the excited
disputant. Those in favor of the latter,
propositions were evidently in the majori
ty, and the 'President: made no attempt to
conceal that his sympathies were with the
dominant party- At length ah intelligent
darkey arose from the minority side, and
begged leave to state a proposition to this
effect: ‘’Spose,'said he, ‘dat yon set one
dozen duck’s eggs under a hen, and dey
hatch, wich am de mudder—-de duck or
de hen V This was a poser, was well put,
and rather nonplussed the other side,' and
even staggered (he President, who plainly
saw the force of the argument, but had.
committed himself too far to yield’with
out a struggle ; so, after cogitating and
scratching his wool a few moments, .a -
bright idea struck him. Rising from his
chair; in all the conscious superiority, he
announced: ‘Dncka am not before da

Tame of Kind Worde.
Kind word* do cot oostmnch. Stay
never blister the tonga# or'fosj and we
have never heard of any trouble arising
from (bis quarter. Though they ilo' adl
cost much, yet they accomplish much;
1. They help one’s own good nature
and good will. Soft words soften our own
soul. . Angry words are fuel to the flame
of wrath, and make it blase the more
fiercely.
2. Kind words make! other people good
natured Cold words fireese people, and
hot words scorch them, and sarcastic words
irritate them, and bitter words make them
bitter, and wrathful wolds makp them
wrathful..
There is such a rah of all kinds «T
words in our days, that it seems fajiiMt
to give kind words a chance among |hem.
There arc vain words, and idle words, and
hasty words, and spiteful and sill/
words, and 'empty words and profane
words, and boisteroos words, and warlike
words. ] '
Kind words also produce their own im
age on men’s souls; and a beautiful image
it is. Tbej soothe and qniel and eomfort
the hearer. They shame him out of his
soar, morose, unkind feelings. We have
