Mrs. Benoni Benson was fat, fair ami forty four, when her husband, a soap hoi lei in very good circumstances, was called from his life task of contributing to tin general purification of mankind. Mrs. Ben son took refuge form her grief in a prottj cottage, situated on the principal street it G—-—. At first she was inconsolable; and she , used to say with a solemn emphasis, which carried conviction to the hearts ol her hear ers, that nothing but the thoughts of her daughter Florence would have prevented her from terminating her existence by the intervention of poison. Mrs. Benson was in no small degree in debted to her daughter —since in less than , three months she threw aside her mourning j and became as she had always been. 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 wishes in that respect were very j likely to be fulfilled. .Just over the way lived Squire Markham, ! the village lawyer, just verging upon fifty, | with his son Charles, who was about half I his age. Being a young man of agreeable exterior, the latter was quite a favorite among the ladies in the neighborhood, and i considered in common parlance quite a ; ' catch.' As yet, however, his affections had never i been seriously entangled, and might have remained so, had it not been for the sudden apparition, one morning,of Florence Benson on horseback. It struck him at. once that she was re markably graceful, and really quite pretty. Thereupon he cultivated her acquaintance with increased 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 tlicy adopted it. j In order that it might be carried out with perfect success, it was resolved to seem in different to each other until the day fixed, in order to ward off' any suspicion which ipight otherwise be roused. So well were these arrangements carried out, that even Mrs. Benson had no suspic ion of what was going on. Not so with Squire Markham. He had obtained a clue to the affair in some man ner, so that he not only discovered the fact i of the elopement, but even the very day on which it was to occur. ' Sly dog, that Charles,' thought he to himself, as he sat down before the fire in his dressing gown and smoking cap, leisure ly puffing a choice Havana ' But I don't wonder at it; lie only takes after me. Still I owe him something for keeping it a secret from nie. It would be a good joke, if I were a little younger to cut him out, and marry her in spite of him. Squire Mark ham who was one of those jovial widowers who take life as it comes, mused more and more on this idea stuck out by chance as it were, till lie really began to think it was worth something. 1 After all,' shouted be, ' I 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 bow much more comfortable it would be to have a pretty wife to welcome mc home, and do the honors of my table and to help me keep that rascally Charles in order. Egad! I've half a mind to do it.' Squire Markham took two more whiffs | and exclaimed : 4 I vow 1 11 do it.' What this mysterious IT was, we will leave the reader to infer from his very next movement. Kinging the bell he inquired of the servant: 4 Is Charles at home ?' 'No sir ; lie went out this morning, and will be gone all day.' 'Hurrah ! that's all. So much the bet ter for my purposes,' thought lie, when alone. ' Now I shall have the ground left to my self. Let me see; the rascal intends to run away next Thursday evening, and to day is Monday. Nothing like striking while the iron is Lot. I'll write to her in his name, ; telling her that 1 have altered my mind, and will go just at dark tomorrow night. | She won't suspect anything till the knot is | tied, and then what a laugh we shall have. Squire Markham did not consider that it might make a little difference to the bride expectant. He considered it a capital joke on his son. but. looked no further. Tl< ac cordingly drew his writing materials to wards him and indited the following epis tle : 'DEAREST FLORENCE :—I find the day fixed for our elopement on some accounts 1 objectionable, and would like, with your ! consent, to substitute to morrow evening, j If I hear nothing in return from you, I ' shall infer that you assent to this arrange j ment. I shall have a carriage in read ; iness under the old oak tree at hall past S ! o'clock. You can walk there without at ! tracting suspicion, and as there will he no moon, we shall he able to carry out our plans without fear of discovery. 1 am : happy to say that the Governor does not suspect in the least that a daughter-in-law is in store for him. Won't lie be aston ished ? From your devoted CHARLEY. T'igad!' said Squire Markham, laughing ! heartily, 'that isn't bad, especially about j humbugging me. Charley could not have j done any better himself Ho saying he .sealed it up and sent it i over by a little Irish boy in his employ-j merit, having fust marked private in the cor ner. 'Be careful Mike, and give it to Miss Benson, and let no one else see it;' was the parting injunction. Mrs. Benson was sitting in her quiet parlor, casting her eyes over a late number of the Home Magazine. Florence being absent on a shopping excursion, she wffs left alone. The ringing of the bell brought her to the door. With surprise she saw Mike, Squire Markham's boy of all work. ' I'lease ma'am,' said lie, holding out the 1 missive, 'a letter for Miss Benson, an' its ; very particular that no one else should see it.'" The air of mystery conveyed in this char acteristic address aroused Mrs Benson s cu riosity, especially when she observed that it was addressed to her daughter, and not to herself, as she supposed. She returned to the parlor —not to read the Magazine; that had lost its attractions. ' What in the world can it be?'she thought, ' that they can be so secret about; can Florence be carrying on a clandestine ! correspondence? It may be something that I ought to know.' Stimulated by her feminine curiosity, Mrs. Benson speedily concluded that she would be false to her responsibilities as a parent, if she did not unravel this myste ry. ' lloro's pretty doing!' she exclaimed, as soon as she could recover breath. 'So Florence was going to run away and get married to that Charles Markham without as much as hinting a word to me ?' She leaned her head upon her hand and began to consider. She was naturally led to think of her own marriage with the late Mr. Benson, and the happiness of her mar ried life, and she could not help heaving a sigh at the recollection. ' Am I always to remain thus solitary ?' she thought. ' I've half a notion not to show it to Florence, but, ta run awaj with Charles to-morrow night on my ac count. It's odd if I can't persuade him that the mother aint as good as the daugh ter she glanced complacently at the still attractive face and form reflected in the mirror. Just then she hoard the door open and Florence entered. She quickly crumpled 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 strange manner to bis son's thinking. Oc casionally he would burst into a hearty laugh, which lie would endeavor to sup press, and pace up and down the room as if to walk off some of his superabundant hi larity. • What's in the wind?' thought Charles j to himself. Tt can't be the old man's get- I ting crazy.' Something was the matter be- j youd a doubt. But what it really was he | had not the faintest conjecture. At the hour specified, the Squire had his carriage drawn up at the appointed ren dezvous. He began to peer anxiously in the dark for Florence. At length a female form, well muffled up, made its appearance. Thanking her in a very low whisper, lest it might be suspected that be was the wrong person, he helped her into the car riage, and drove off. During part of the journey, nothing was said. Both parties were desirous of con cealing their identity. At length Squire Markliani, considering after all that be co d not marry the lady without her consent, and that the discovery must be made be fore marriage, decided to reveal himself, and then urge bis suit as well as lie could. 4 My dear Miss Florence' he continued in his natural voice. 4 Why !' shrieked the lady, ' I thought it was Charles.' 4 And I,' said squire Markham, recog nizing Mrs. Benson's voice, 4 thought it was Florence.' 4 Was it you, sir, who was arranging to elope with uiy daughter ?' 4 No, hut 1 conclude it was you ma'am, who was meaning to elope with my son.' 'lndeed, Squire Markham, you're wrong; the affair came incidentally to my knowl edge; T concluded to take her place secretly in order to frustrate her plans.' ' Egad, the very idea 1 had myself!' said , the squire laughing;'but the fact is ma'am, we have both been confoundedly sold, and the mischief of it is, I have left a letter for Charles, letting him know it; so un doubtedly he will take the opportunity to run away with Florence during our absence, and plume himself, the rascal, on the way in which lie was taken in.' ' I confess that I left a note for Florence to the same purpose. How she will laugh ; at me. What an embarrassment!' ' I'll tell you what,' said the Squire, after a moment's pause, ' We carry out our plans after all. 11 e each came out 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 friglit- cn them.' Mrs Benson assented with a little urg- I ing, and in the course of an hour the twain were made one. They immediately return ed, but found as they anticipated, that Florence and Charles, discovering their de parture, had themselves stepped off in a different direction, with a similar intent. They made their appearance the next morning, prepared to laugh heartily at the frustrated plan of their parents, hut learned to their astonishment that they had struck up a bargain for themselves. Squire Mark ham and his new wife had the address to | convince them that it was all a premeditated ; plan, and to this day the younger pair arc ! ignorant of the plot and counter plot which t led to this double union of the two liousc- I holds. A WniSKT.Y POINT. —A Kentucky law yer on a circuit was asked to dine with the Judge. At the table, the Judge, as is his custom, asked a blessing, and shortly after rose from the seat and took from the side hoard a bottle of old Bourbon, of which lie invited his guest to partake, partaking himself, as is his custom. After dinner was over, the lawyer said : ' Judge, will you permit me to ask you a question ?' 'Oh, certainly,' replied the Judge,'what is it ?' ' I observed that after you asked a bles sing you sot on the bottle. Now I want to know whether you wore ashamed to ask a blessing on the liquor, or whether you thought it was good enough without?' The Judge took the ease under advise ment. is a very nice, genteel, young j lady in Peoria, Illinois, who in twenty-one j years has married three times. On each occasion of her marriage she was united to a man younger than herself, and the last time to one who was twenty-three years her junior. She lived happy with the first, unhappily with the second, but prefers the last. At the age of twenty she was wed ded to a man aged nineteen, with whom j she lived six years. At the ago of thirty : she married a man of twenty, with whom she lived only two years. After a lapse of nearly nine yeare of ' single blessedness,' at the end of which time she was forty-one years old, she married again, and, in this instance, capped the climax, the man 6he married being only eighteen years old, her present husband, with whom she has lived very happily for two years. If he is a considerate young man, he will die soon, and give the widow a chance to look up somebody else New Series—Vol. 111, No. 49. Pennsylvania Legislature. Senate.
