CHARITY.
In the hour of keenest sorrow-
In the hour of deepest woe-
Walt not for the coming morrow.
To the su<l and sorrowing go-
Make it thy sincerest pleasure
To administer relief;
Freely opening thy treasure
To assuage a brother's grief.
Go and seek the orphan sighing—
.Seek tlie widow in her tears.
And, on mercy's pinions living.
Go, dispel theinlarkest fears.
Seek the stranger, sad and weary.
Pass not on the other side.
Though the task be sad and dreary,
Heeding not the scorn of pride.
Go, with manners unassuming,
111 a meek and quiet way—
O'er the father lie er presuming.
Though thy brother sadly stray ;
*Tls a Saviour's kind compassion—
'Tis His righteousness alone.
All unmerited salvation
That around thy path hath shone.
When thy heart is warmly glowing
With the sacred love of prayer.
Be thy works of kindness flowing,
Not as with a miser's care.
Duty e'er would be thy watchword-
Pity drop the balmy tear;
Always toward the fallen cherish
Sympathy and love sincere.

THE DOUBLE MARRIAGE.
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
