ELD. HOVD'S MATIIIMONIAI. EXPEUIF.NCE.
Klder IloyJ, though .1 very gooil man in
tho main, nnd lookcil up to with respect hy
all tho inhabitants of tho littio villugo of
Ohlvillc, was rumored to have, in Yankee
parlance, n pretty sharp lookout for the main
chance, .1 peculiarity from which ciders aro
not always exempt.
In worldly matters ho was decidedly well-tn-do,
having inherited .1 lino farm from his
father, wliich was growing yearly more and
iiioio valuable. It might ho btippo-cd that
under theso circumstances tho elder, who
was fully able to do so, w ould havo found a
helpmate to share, his hoitso and name. Hut
tho elder was wary. Matrimony was to him,
in sumo measure, a matter of money, and it
was his firm resolvo not to marry unless ho
could thereby euhiiuco his worldly pros-
po.-uy.
Unhappily, tho liltlo village of Oldvillo
and tho towns in tho immediate vicinity
contained few who wcro qualified in the Im
portant particular, and of tlioso there wcro
probably 110,10 with whom tho cider's suit
would have pro.-nccd. So it happened that
year alter year passed awiy, until Iddcr
Ilovd was lit llio pvinio of life 11 or there
abouts and still unmarried and in all hu
man probability likely to remain so. Hut
in all human calculations of tips kind they
reckon ill who leave widows out.
Klder lloyd's nearest neighbor was a
widow.
The Yi'idow Hayes, who had passed
through matrimonial experience, wa some
foil- ycrs younger than Klder lloyd. Sho
was still a buxom, comely woman, as wid
ows me apt lo he.
Unfortunately, tho lato Mr. Hayes had
not been ablo to leave her stillieieut to mako
Iter independent of tho world. All that sho
possessed was tho small, old-fashioned house
in which sho lived, and u small amount of
money, wns iiisiillicient to support her and a
littio eon of 0, likewise to bo enumerated in
tho schedulo of her property, though hardly
to bo classed as "productive" of anything
but mischief.
Tho widow was, therefore, obliged to take
caro of threo boarders to cko out her scanty
income, which, of course, imposed upon her
considerable, labor and anxiety.
It is not surprising that under theso cir
cumstances sho should now and then have
bethought herself of a second marriage as a
method of bettering her condition? Or
again, need wo esteem it n special wonder
if, in her rellectloiw upon this point, sho
should havo cast her eyes upon her next
neighbor, Klder lloyd ? Tho Klder, as wo
havo already s.iid, was in nourishing cir
cumstances. Ho would bo ablo to maintain
a wife in great comfort, and being ono ofjho
chief personages in tho village, could accord
her a prominent social position. Ho was
not especially handsome, or calculated to
mako a profound impression upon tho fe
11111I0 lieatt i this win true, but ho was of a
good disposition, kind hearted, and would
no doubt mako a good suit of a husband,
Wlduwa are, I take it (If any shall do mo
tho honor to read this story, I trust they
will forgivo 1110 tho remark,) less disposed to
weigh sentiment in a second nlliauco than a
l'rt, nml so, lu tho widow's point of view,
Klder lloyd was a very desirable match.
Homo fctigaelous person, however, has ob
served that it takes two to mako a match, a
fact to Co seriously considered j for in tho
present easo it was exceedingly doubtful
whether tho worldly elder, oven if ho had
known tho favorable opinion of his next
neighbor, would havo been inclined to pro
pose changing her namo lo lloyd, utiles?,
indeed, 11 stiltablo motlvo was brought to
bear upon him. Hero was a chatico for 11
littio managing, wherein widows aro said, as
a general thing, to bo expert.
One evening, after a day of fatiguing la
bor, Widow Hayes sat nt tho fire in llio sit-liiig-room,
with her feet resting on tho fen
der. "If ever I am situated so ns not to have
to work so hard, I shall bo happy. It's n
hard life, keeping boarders. If I was only
ns well oil' as Klder lloyd,'' sho muttered.
Stilt tho widow kept up her thinking, and
by-nnd-by her faco brightened. Sho had an
idea, which sho was resolved to put into exe
cution nt tho earliest posslblo moment. What
it was tho reader will seo in tho sequel.
"Freddie," saitl sho to her son the next
morning, "I want you to stop to Klder
Boyd's ns you go to school, nnd ask hi in if
ho will call on mo in tbo courso of tlio morn
ing or afternoon, just as ho finds it most
convenient."
Klder lloyd was a liltlo surprised nt this
summons. However, about 11 o'clock, he
called in. Tho widow had got on tho din
ner, and had lcistiro to sit down. Sho ap
peared a littio embarrassed.
"Krcddio told mo that you would liko to
see me," he commenced.
"Yes, Klder, I should. Hut 1 am very
much afraid you will think strange, at least,
of what I havo to say to you."
The Klder very politely promised not to
ba surprised, though at tho panto timo his
curiosity was very visibly aroused.
"Suppose," said tho widow, casting down
her eyes "mind I was only supposing a
case suppose a person should find a pot of
gold pieces in their cellar, would tho law
havo a right to touch it, or would it belong
to them ?"
Tho Klder pricked up his ears.
"A pot of gold pieces widow? Why, un
questionably the law would havo nothing to
do witii it."
"And the 0110 who formerly owned tho
liouso couldn't como forward aud claim it,
could ho ?"
"Xo madam j unquestionably not. When
tho hoitso was disposed of everything went
with it."
"I am glad to hear it, elder. You won't
think strange of the question, but it happen
ed to occur in my mind, and I thought I
would liko to havo it satisfied."
"Certainly, widow, certainly," said the
elder abstractedly.
"And, elder, as you'ro here, I hope you
will stop to dinner with us. It will bo ready
punctually at 12."
"Well no," said tho elder lising. "I'm
obliged to ye; but they'll bo expecting me
at home."
"At any rate, elder," said tho widow,
taking a piece of steaming ntinco pio from
the oven, "you wont object to taking a piece
of mince pie. You must know that I rather
pride myself on my mince pies."
Tho warm pio sent up such a delicious
odor that the elder was sorely tempted, and
after saying, "Well, really," with tho inten
tion of refusing, lie finished by saying, "on
tho whole, I guess I will, as it looks so
nice."
Tho widow was really a good cook, and
tho elder ate with much gusto tho generous
piece which tho widow cut oil for him, and,
alter a little chatting upon unimportant sub
jects, withdrew in some mental perplexity.
Was it possible, thought lie, that tho
widow could tcally havo found a pot of gold
in her cellar ? Sho did not say so, to he sure,
but why should sho havo shown so much
anxiety to know as to tho proprietorship of
tho treasure thus found if sho had not hap
pened upon some ? To bo sure, as far as his
knowledge extended, there was no ono who
would be likely to lay up such an amount of
gold j but then tho liotiso was 100 years old,
at tho very least, and had had many occu
pants of which ho knew nothing. It might
be, after all. The widow's desiro to have
him think it was only curiosity likewise
gavo additional probability to tbo supposi
tion. "I will wait and watch," thought the
Klder.
It so happened that Klder lloyd was ono
of tho directors in a saving institution situa
ted in tho next town, and accordingly rodo
over thcro onco or twice a month so as to at
tend tho meeting of the bj.ird.
On tho next occasion of this kind tho
widow sent over In know if ho could carry
her witli him, as sho had a littio business to
attend there. Tho request was readily ac
corded. Arrived at tho village, tho widow
desired to bo set oil' at the bank.
"Ha, ha !" thought tho Klder, "that means
something."
He said iiotliin.tr, however, but determined
to como back and find out, as ho could
readily from tho cashier, what business sho
had with tho bank, Tho widow tripped into
tho oillee, pretending to look very non
chalant. "Can you givo 1110 small bills for a $10
gold piece?"
"Willi pleasure," was tho reply.
"liy the way, tho bank is in a very nour
ishing condition, is it not?", sho asked,
"Mono in tho state on a better footing,"
ho said.
"Do you rcceivo deposits ?"
"Yes, madam ; wo aro receiving them
every day."
"Do you receive as high as as $10,000."
"Xo," said tho cashier, with some sur
prlo ; "or rather wo do not allow interest
on so largo a sum j $1,000 is our limit. Do
you know of any 0110 who "
"It is of no consequence," said tho widow,
hurriedly ; "I only asked for curiosity, lly
tho way, did you say how much interest you
allowed 011 such deposits as como within
your limits?" blio asked.
"I'ivo per cent,"
"Thank you, I only asked fur curiosity.
What a beautiful morning it is I" and wen1
out.
Shortly after tho Klder entered,
"How is business Mr. Cashier?" lio in
quired. "About ns usual."
"Had any deposits lately?"
"Xono of any magnitude."
"I brought over a woman this morning
who seemed to havo some sort of business
with you,"
"Tho widow Iluyos?"
"Yes."
"Do you know whether sho lias had any
money left her lately ?" nakul tho cashier.
"Sot that I know of," said tho Klder,
pricking up ids cars. "Why, d!d sho de
posit aiiy?'"
"No j but sho inquired if wo received dc'
posits as high as if 10,000'
"Indeed, is that all sho camo for?" ho in
quired. "No, bIio exchanged a gold pleco for
bills."
Tho Klder left tho bank in deep thought.
Ho camo to tho conclusion that this curi
osity only veiled a deeper motlvo. lio now
no longer entertained a doubt that tho wid
ow had found a pot of gold in her cellar,
and appearance seemed to indicate that ils
probablo valuo wns at least equal lo $10,
000. Tho gold picco which sho had ex
changed at tho bank appeared to confirm
this slory.
"I rather think," said tho Klder, com
placently, "I can seo into a millstone nbout
ns far as most ipcoplc." A statement, tho
literal truth of which I defy any ono to
question, though ns to tho primo fact of
people being able to seo into a millslono at
all, doubts havo now and then forced them
selves upon my mind.
Tho next Sunday tho widow "appeared at
church in a new and stylish bonuet, which
led to such remarks as these :
"How much vanity somo people have, to
bo sure."
"How a woman that ha? to keep boarders
for a living can aflbid to dash out in such n
bonnet is moro than I can tell. I should
think sho was old enough lo know better."
Tho last remark was mado by a young
lady just six months younger than tho wid
ow, whoso attempts to catch a second hus
band had hitherto proved utterly unavail
ing. "I suppose," continued tbo samo young
lady, "sho is trying to catch a second hus
band with her finery. Ileforo I'd conde
scend to such means, I'd drown myself."
In this la-t amiablo speech tho young
lady had unwittingly hit upon the truo mo
tive. Tho widow was intent upon catching
Klder lloyd, and sho indulged in a costly
bonnet, not becauso sho supposed ho would
bo caught with finery, but becauso this
would strengthen in his mind the idea that
she had stumbled upon hidden wealth. Tho
widow calculated shrewdly, and tho display
had tjyo desired effect. Monday afternoon
the Klder found an errand that called him
over to the widow's. It chanced to bo just
about tea time. He was importuned to stay
to tea, and somewhat to his own surprise,
actually did.
Tho polito widow, who knew tho Klder's
weak point, brought one of her best mince
pics, a piece of wliich her guest partook ol
witli zest.
"You'll take another piece, I know," said
she.
"I'eally, I am ashamed," said tho Klder,
but piKsed his plate. "Tho fact is, your
pies aro so nice, I don't know when to
stop."
"Do you call those nice?" said the widow,
modestly. "I call them common. I can
mako good minco pics, when I set out to, but
this time I didn't have as good luck as com
mon."
"I shouldn't want any better," said tho
Klder.
"Then I hope, if you liko them, you will
drop into tea often. Wo ought to be more
neighborly."
Klder lloyd assented, and ho meant what
ho said. Tho fact is, tho deacon began to
think that tho widow was a very charming
woman. She was very comely, and then
she was such an excellent cook. Uesides,
ho had 110 doubt in his own mind that she
was worth a considerable pilo of money.
What objection could there be to her be
coming Mrs. lloyd? He brought tho question
before her one evening. The widow blushed.
professed to bo greatly surprised. In fact,
sho never thought of such a thing in her
lile, but, on thu whole, sho had ulways
thought highly of tho Klder, and to cut tho
matter short, sho accepted. A mouth later
sho was installed mistress of tho Elder's
largo house, somewhat to tho surprise of tho
villago people, who could not coticcivo how
sho brought him over. Somo weeks after
the ceremony tho Klder ventured to inquire
about tho pot of gold wliich sho had found
in the cellar.
"Pot of gold" exclaimed the widow, in
stirpriso j "I know of none."
"Hut you asked mo about whether tho
aw could claim it," said the Klder, discon-
ccrned.
"Oh, lor'! Klder, I only asked for cu
riosity."
"And was that tho reason you mado in
quiries at tho bank ?"
"Certainly I What clso could it bo?"
The Klder went out to tho barn, and for
half an hour sat in silent meditation. At
tho end of that timo ho ijaeulatcd, as a
closing consideration ;
"After all, sho makes good minco pics."
It gives 1110 pleasure to stato that tho un
ion between tho Klder aud the widow proved
1 veiy happy one, although to the end of
his lil'o ho could never mako up his mind
:vbout the "pot of gold."
' Tattling.
In all tho black catalogue of vices, which
unhappily debaso tho character of the sons
and daughters of Adam, tattling well nigh
holds tho pic-eminence. It is tho meanest,
tho most detestable of all habits, and when
onco contracted, clings as it were, with tho
tenacity of a demon. In view of its doprav-
ity, and of tho many and fearful vices fol
lowing in tho train, tho Lord commanded
Mo.-es to "speak unto all tho congregations
of Israel aud say unto them I "Thou shalt
not go up and down as a talo bearer anion;
tho people," and in tho sacred psalm it is
written, " Whoso privily slaudereth his neigl
bor, him will I cut oil'."
The rabid dog, let looso in a community to
bito whatever man or bciut ho meets, is not
as dangerous as tho tattler. Tho dog kills
only tho individual bitten while- tattlers'
venom poisons madly aud fatally, tho wholo
comniuulty. lie goes to a neighbor's and
listening attentively, hears, perhaps, some
thing said that may bo nscd to tho disparage'
inent, possibly tho ruin of another, which ho
drinks with tho avidity with which tho thirsty
toper does tho fiery iluld, and then goes forth
with venomous tongue to dlssctuinato susi
clou, distrust aud ranking hate, whero before
was tho abode of neighboily love and confi
ding trust.
Thus tho pence of society is marred, often
disrupted ; confidence is destroyed i friends
mado foes, discord and strife created, and all
tho diabolical schemes of tho father of lies,
used to destroy all that is lovely and of good
report, furthered by tho tattler, who may
well Uo compared to tho viper in tho fable
that, warmed and brought to life by the caro
of a too kiudhcartcd benefactor, turned and
stung him to the heart.
