Till: RUNAWAY MATCH ;
Or Ovi'i'-Shootins llie Mark.
great ninny years since, when bright-
eyed, fnir-huircd hts.-es wcro.not so plenty In
England as they are now, there dwelt in
the town of P , a pretty village, distant,
then, some live and twenty utiles from the
Market town, a peculiar comely and grace
ful maiden, who hail a peculiar, ugly nnd
cro-.s-graincd but wealthy father.
Minnie was Dauforth's only child; and
report said truly that she would be his sole
legatee. The old man was a sturdy fanner,
mil was estimated to be worth full ten
thousand dollars at that period, a verv
laiidsome fortune to he sure.
The sparkling eyes and winning ways of
Minnie Daiiforth hud stirred up the liner
feeling of the whole male portion of tho
village, and her suitors were numerous; but
her lather was particular, and none suc
ceeded in making headway with him or
her.
In the meantime Minnie had a true and
oyal lover in secret. Who would have
supposed for one moment that such a fel
low would look on beauty and comparative
refinement? His name was Walker, or, as
ho was generally called, Joe Joe Walker,
and he w.n simply a farmer, employed by
old Daufortli, who had entrusted Joe with
the management of his place for two or
three years.
Hut a very excellent farmer nnd a right
good manager, was the plain, unassuming
hut good lookimr Joe Walker. He was
young, loo, only twcniy-lhrce; anil lie
actually fell in lovo with tho beautiful,
pleasant, oyous, Minnie Daiiforth, his old
employer) inly daughter, w t thestrangest
part of the occurrence was, that Minnie re
turned his love earnestly, truly, nnd frankly;
and premised lo wed him at a favorable mo
ment.
Tilings went on merrily for a time, but
)ld D.mforth discovered certain glances
and attentions between them, which excited
his envy ind suspicion. Very soon after
wards, Joe learned the old man's mind, in
directly, in regard to his future di-poal of
Minnie's hand, and he quickly saw that his
case was a Hopeless one, unless lie resorlcil
to stratagem ; aud so he set his wits at once
to work.
Ily an agreement, an apparently settled
I'oldue-s and distance was observed by the
lovers towards each other for live or six
months ; nnd tho father saw (as he believed)
with satisfaction, that his previous sus
picions aud fears had been all premature.
Then, by agreement also between them,
loo absented himself from tho hotiso at
evening; nml mgnt alter iiigui mr mil
threo months longer, did .loo disappear as
soon as un work was ntusneu, to return
home only at into bed time. This was un
usual, and old Daiiforth determined to
know tho causo of it.
Joe frankly confessed that lie was in love
with a man's daughter, who resided less
than threo miles distant ; but, after a faith
ful attachment between them for several
months, tho old man had utterly refused to
entertain his application for the young
girl's hand.
This was capital. Just what old Daii
forth most desired. This satisfied him that
lie had made a mistake in regard to his own
child ; and ho would help Joe to get mar
ried and thus stop all further suspicions or
trouble nt home. So ho said :
"Well, Joe, sho is n buxom lass?"
"Yes yes," said Joe, "That is, oilier
folks say so. I'm not much of a judge
invsclf."
"And you like her?"
"Yes, sir yes,"
"Then marry her," said old Pan forth.
"Hut I can't thu father objects"
Poohl" continued Daiiforth ; "let him do
so; what need you carol Hun away with
her."
"Klopo?"
"Yes I Oil' with you nt once I If tho gal
will join all right. Marry her nnd brlti;
her here; you shall have tho littlo cottago at
tho foot ot the lane, I'll furnish it for you ;
your wages shall bo increased; and the
old man may like it, or not, us ho will I"
"ilut "
"Hut, no buts, Joe. Do m I bid you ; go
about it nt once j and '
"You will standby mo?"
"Yes, to the last. I know you, Joe,
You'ro it good fellow, n good workman, and
will mako unybody a good son, or good
husband."
"The old Iclloiv will bo so mad though."
"Who cares, I say ? Go on quickly but
quietly."
"To-morrow night, then," said Joe.
"Yoi," said Daiiforth.
"I'll hiro Colvcr's horso "
"No?"
"I say no. Tako mv horso tho best
ono Young Morgan; he'll take you oil in
fine style, in tho new phaeton."
"Exactly."
"And as soon, as you're spliced, como
right back here, and a jolly time wo'll have
of it at the old house."
"Her father will kill mo I"
"Hah I Ho's an old fool, whoever he is ;
ho don't know your good qualities, Joe, so
well as I do. Don't be afraid ; a faint heart,
you know, never won a fair woman."
"Tho old man will bo astounded."
"Xever mind, go on. We'll turn the
laugh on him. I'll take caro of you nnd
your wife at any rate."
"I'll do it," replied Joe.
"You shall," said Daiiforth; nnd they
parted in the best of spirits.
An hour after dark, on the following
evening, .loo inado his appearance, decked
in a nice new black suit, and really looking
very comely. Tho old man hustled out to
tho barn with him, helping to harness
"Young Morgan" to his new phaeton, nnd
loading tho spunky animal himself to the
road, away went lumpy Joo Walker in
search of his bride. A few rods distant
from the house ho found her, as per previ
ous arrangement ; and repairing to the next
village, the parson very quickly made them
ono in holy wedlock. Jos took the bride,
and soon dashed back to tho town of P
and halted at old Dauforth's hoiwc who was
already looking for him, and who received
him with open arms.
"Is it done?" cried the old man.
"Yes yes!" answered Joe.
"firing her in, bring her in," continued
the old fellow, in high glee ; "never mind
compliments; no matter about the dark
entry ; here, Joe, to tho right in the best
parlor; wo'll have a time now, sure I" and
the nnxious.iarmer pushed away for lights,
returning almost immediately.
"Here's the certificate, sir," said Joe.
"Yes, yes"
"And this is my 'wife," he added, as he
passed up his beautiful bride the bewitch
ing and lovely Minnie Dunforth !
"What!' roared the old file; "Joe you
villian, you scamp, you audacious cheat,
you yon you"
"It is true, sir, we are lawfully married.
You advised me to this course, you as sistcd
me, you planned tho whole all'air, you lent
me your hore, you thought mo, last even
ing, woitby of any man's child, you prom
ised to stand by me, you encouraged me,
you promised mo the cottago at the foot of
tho lane, you "
"I didn't! I deny it. You can't prove
it, you're a a a a"
"Calmly now, sir," continued Joe. And
the entreaties of the happy couple were at
once united to quell the old man's ire, nnd
to persuade him to acknowledge the union.
Hie father relented at last. It was a job
of his own manufacture, and he saw how
useless it would be finally to attempt to des
troy it.
He gave in reluctantly, nnd the lair
Minnie Daiiforth was overjoyed to be dulv
acknowledged as Mrs. Joe Walker.
The marriage proved a joyful one; nnd
the original assertion of old Daiiforth
proved truthful in every respect. The cun
ning lover was a good ton and a faithful
husband, and lived many years to enjoy the
happiness which followed upon his runaway
match ; while the old man never cared to
hear much about the details of the elope
ment, fur he saw how completely he had
over-shot his mark !
Humbling.
X'o passion can lead to buch extremities,
nor involve u man in such a complicated
train of crimes and vices, aud ruin whole
families so completely, as the baneful rage
for gambling. It produces and nourishes
all imaginable di.-graeeful sensations; it is
the most fertile nursery of eovetousness,
envy, rage, malice, dissimulation, falsehood,
and foolish reliance on blind foituue; it fre
quently leads to fraud, quarrels, murder.
forgery, meanness and despair ; and robs us
in the most unpardonable maimer of the
greatest and most irrecoverable treasure
time. Tluse that are rich act foolishly in
venturing their money in uncertain specula'
tion ; and those that have not much to risk
must play with timidity, and cannot long
continue play unless the fortune of tho
game turn, as being obliged to quit the field
at the first heavy blow j or it they stake
everything to frrco the blind goddess to
smilu upon them at hist, madly hazard their
being reduced to iustant beggary. Tho
gambler but rarely dies a rich man; those
that havo had the good fortuuo to realize
some property in this miserable way, and
contiiiuo playing, are guilty of a two-fold
folly. Trust no person of that description,
of whatever rank or character lie may be.
Laughing Children.
Give us tho boy or girl who smiles as soon
as tho first rays of tho morning sun glances
in through the w indow, gnv, happy nnd kind.
Such a boy will bo fit to "wako up" into a
man at le:ut as contrasted with n morose,
crabbed fellow, who snaps and snarls like n
iirly cur, or growls and grunts liko an un
tamed hyena from tho moment ho opens his
angry eyes till he is confronted by bis break
fast. Such a girl, other things being favora
ble, wfll bo good material to aid in gladden
ing homo comfortable home, or to refine, civ
ilize, tnnui and liumnuizo 11 rudo brother,
making him gentle, uHectionato nnd love

spiring girl, and seethe smiles (lowing, so to
speak, from the parted lips, displaying a set
of clean, well-brushed teeth, looking almost
tho personification of beauty and goodness,
singing, and as merry as the birds tho wide
awake birds that commenced their concert
long beforo the lazy boys dreamed that tho
sun was approaching, and about to pour a
whole flood of light and warmth upon tho
earth,
Such 11 girl Is like a gentle shower to tho

smiles, aud acts of mercy to ail urouud her
tho joy and light of tlio household.
Percy llysslio Shelley Tinclibaok.
After Grant and Sheridan, no ono lias n
pearcd on tho stago during tho Louisiana
cmbrogllo, who lias attracted moro public
attention than that negro acrobat Pinchback,
whoso namo fully demonstrate) his birth.
Ho belongs to n pinchback raco a cross bo
tivccnnwlilto andiinegroof tlio thlrdgr.tdo.
None of his smartness is therefore inherited
from tho African side. Tho Washington
correspondent of tho Pittsburgh Leader,
photographs the colored "liighllyer" in this
way :
Pinchback has hopes again. Ho thinks
that since firuco from Mississippi has been
admitted, that it will in somoway help him.
Ho is not so noisy ns ho was, and has as
sumed an air of patient waiting which lias
been bred in him by tho bull-dog Morton.
Ho has been offered tho postmastership nt
Now Orleans, but this ho has scornfully re
fused. The Scnato ho will have or nothinir.
HIS REMAUKAllI.E HISTORY.
Pinchback has a very remarkable history.
Ho was oncon slave. His father was Ma
jor Holmes, a wealthy planter in Georgia.
His mother was a quadroon, the property of
his father. Major Holmes was n classical
old dog, immensely fond of reading. Ho
dubbed the young- brat ollspriug of himself
nnd his quadroon slave with Shellv's high
sounding iintno by way of a joke, and wound
up the high sounding given names with a
surname of Pinchback, for tho sake of the
ridiculous:. Tho littlo brat, who was in the
future to make so much troublo in Louisiana
and in tho United States Senate was a great
pet with his father, a sort of black foot ball
for the family to play with. Ho was called
by them "Pinch.," as hois. to thisdtiy among
his intimates.
LOST AT A GAME OF POKER.
Major Holmes, like most southern gentle
men of his time, was very fond of card play
ing. His lavorito game was poker. When
engaged at this fascinating game he would
wager everything he had about him to re
gain lost points. If he had been able he
would havo staked his immortal soul many
times over during his poker-playing life.
"Pinch." was brought up by his father as
a special body servant, nnd he was a very
quick, bright lad, he always traveled about
with him wherever ho went.
One day when Pinch was in the neighbor-
noou oi ten years ot age, no was taken by
tlio Major down the river to Xew Orleans.
The steamer on which they traveled when
..-.u.ut nm jiissiasijjui was mo reu
steamer Magnolia, Captain St. Clair Tomas-
son commanding. On tho way down Major
nonnes got into a game ot poker with the
captain unit lost very heavily. In the end he
lost an oi nis rcauy casn about tiim and had
nothing lelt to bet. He wished to continue
me game, wun tne vain nope possessed by
theveteran gamester, that hemight win back
his losses. Ho said, after a moment's sullen
thought:
"I have nothing to put up, captain.'
"Hut there's your bov Pinch I"
Holmes was so carried away with the ex
citement of the game that lie caught at this
idea and staked "Pinch" then nnd there.
The result was not changed; "Pinch" was
lost and he and his father patted company,
the chronicler says, forever.
LEAltNINQ TO PLAY POKER.
"Pinch." wasbrought upon the steamboat
and there is where ho gained a knowledge
of polite manners, and so thorough a knowl
"I
edge of tho game of poker. He is to this
day a great poker player, and only the other
night at Willard's hotel won $700 from Con
gressman- Sheldon, of Louisiana. If he
cannot becomo n Senator, ho will at least
make his expenses while hero making the
attempt. "Pinch" remained ou the steam
boat until he became of ago and then he
purchased his freedom and went to Xew
Orleans. Ho had made much money by
gaming, and he proceeded to establish him
self in Xew Orleans by opening up one of
tho finest restaurant establishments there,
equal to Welcker nt Washington or Del-
monico's in Xew York, so far ns cooking
was concerned.
HE ACCUMULATED WEALTH.
iuc first lloor of Ins building was devoted
to restaurant purposes, the second to rai n
and the third floor was let out to parties
about whom 110 questions were asked so long
as nicy paiu a goou rent, tie btuuieuu great
ueni anu took pains to mako liimselt n great
mini among uiu cuiorcu peopio 01 Louisiana,
lie was wen Known among them all during
tne unys 01 mo war, aim mrougli their aid I
lie mauo a great ueai 01 money. He was the
man who was tuo most successful in getting
dispatches ot cotton through the lines. In
this way ho mndo huge bums. His superior
intellect and extensive connections among
the negroes made him 11 power. Ho was
onco airested, during the latter days of the
war upon the chargo of keeping a disorder
ly house, and was bentenccd to the penitcn
tiary. However, ho did not stay there over
twenty days,
If it were not for shrinkage in values in
Xew Orleans he would now bo worth upward
of 4-1 50.000. As it is ho is worth easily
$250,000, and carries the colored vote of the
Stato of Ixislana in his breeches pocket.
"pinch's" marriage.
"Pinch," married in Xew Orleans a daugh
ter of ono of the most aristocratic negro
iiuiiiucs. , iiiesc lanuiies aro ones who nave
A ,1 . . nt. - - i , , ,
always been Ireo. Their children nrecduca-
tod in Paris, and in point of culture they
nro the equals of any' of the white families
of the laud. They look down tipon the con
traband element with quite as much scorn
ns does the dominant white race. When
"Pinch." a former contraband was announced
ns married to one of tho real families of
Xew Orleans, tbcarislocratio colored society
there was shaken from centre to circumfer
ence. I ho De lo Croix, the Diitnas, the Xa
ries, Joubarts, nnd tho Do Puys for a lone
time refused to receivo him, but since ho lias
achieved political prominence, they havo
deigned to tako up with him.
There U not a more energetic unscrtipu
ions politician in Louisiana than Pinch
back, but in business matters ho is a mar
vel. His credit is so good lu Xew Orleuns
that any or tho leading business nicii there
will lend him any amount of money upon
ids personal worn, ills not every United
htalcs beiiator who has his equal in that.

Oliver t;r"invfll.
Literary sycophants havo been accustomed
to revllo tho character of Cromwell nnd to
represent him ns a low-born, vulgar hypo
c.-ito or bigot, He had not the parlor grace
of Lord Chancellor llatton, hut lie would
havo walked alone through an army of Hat
tons ns an ox walks through a field of grass
hoppers. Horn of an ancient family, descended from
somo of the high nobility, lie was related to
Thomas Cromwell, tho Eul of Essex and
sometimes inlnisier to Henry VIII, His
grandfather was Sir Henry Cromwell, the
Lord of Hlncliinbrook, known as tlio "Gold
en Knight," on account of his great riches ;
and his mother was of tho best of English
blood and her relationship to James I. in
duced that monarch, on his way to take pos
session of tho English crown, to become a
guest at Cromwell mansion, wliero Oliver,
then but four years old, saw tho king nt tho
family table Jatncsllttlo dreaming that thn
head ol his own son would bo cut off by
this kindred boy, who should reign in his
stead.
Ho was educated at tho University of
Cambridge, nnd when but 18 years old ho
was called home by tho death of his father,
to bo the solo protector of his mother and
sisters.
While reading law in London, at the ago
of 2d, ho fell in love with Elizabeth, tlio
beautiful and accomplished daughter of Sir
James fiourchier, n wealthy knight. At tho
age of '21 ho married, und, under the samo
roof with his mother, took his young bride,
who afterwards coining to her exalted station,
showed a purity and nobleness of character
more beautiful than her personal loveliness.
She was the first aud o;ify love of Cromwell
and in tho height of his greatness and near
the end of his reign, when necessity had
epa rated them for a short time, she, liko n
true and loving woman, cliided him for not
writing often ; and to her chiding he repli
ed: "My beloved wife, you scold mo in
your letters because by my silence I appear
to forget you. 1 ruly it is I who ought to
complain, for I love you too nvich. Thou
nr dearer to me than alt the world."

There was a time when all seemed lost of
the liberties of England, nnd Cromwell
thought of leaving his couutry. Hut in those
trying times, when nil good men began to
despair, Cromwell, and the just men who
sympathized with him, "sought the lord in
prayer ;" and it was "his guidance," as they
believed, to gird on their swords for war and
rescue Enuhuid from her slavery, nnd fmm
that hour they never faltered and they never
feared. Princo Uiinert. thn .i,,.l,ew f

against a granite mountain. After the battle
Cromwell wrote to his wife: "God made
them as stubbles to our swords."
When in the plenitude of his power,
young Lely, afterward the Court painter of
tho frail beauties of the Second Chailcs,
wanted to paint him, "Paint me as I am,"
said Cromwell. "If you leave out the scars
and wrinkles, I will not pay you n shilling."
Go to tho Pitti Palace the picture with tlio
scars anil wrinkles you shall see; but a
kinglier head reposed on kinglicr shoulders
you shall never tee.
TOO MUl'll PROSPERITY, A L'OOll-for-
nothing wretch was brought up before tho
magistrate on a charge of drunkenness. Tho
evidence showed that ho had been tipsy for
a week, and he was asked what he had to say
for himself:
"Well, yer Honor," lie replied, "me and
my old woman never did live easy together.'
"That's no excuse for getting drunk," 5.-1I1I
the court.
"You'ro right, yer Honor, and so it aint,"
was the answer. "We used to fight like dog.
and cats together."
"Drinking made it worse," remarked tho
magistrate.
That's true," rejoined the man; "she dis
couraged the lifo out or me, and kept me
poor until last week when "
'Well, what did she do last week?"
"She died, yer Honor."
"And you have been drunk ever since-?"
"Yes, yer Honor; I iievcr cuuld.bear pros
perity."
Peak of Poverty. A poor widow, in
her poverty, like her in scripture, had been
allways ready to bestow her mite freely in
the causo of chanty or religion, until, by
some turn in the wheel of fortune, sho sud
denly became wealthy, when tho no longer
proflercd aid, but waited to be called on, and
then gno only coldly, reluctantly and btint
edly. On her pastor's remonstrance, in
regard to her change of feeling and practice,

It is fully to call the joys of childhood tho
