Mrs. Benoni Benson was fat, fair, and forty-four, when her husband, a soap boiler in very good circumstances, was called from bis life-task of contributing to the general purification of mankind. Mrs. Beuson took refuge from her grief in a pretty cottage, situated on the prin cipal frtreet in the town of G- . At firt she was inconsolable, as she used to sny with a solemn emphasis, which cariied conviction to the hearts of her hearers, that nothing hut the thoughts of her daughter Florence would have pro vented her from terminating her exist ence by the ititerrcntion of poi.-on. Ms. Benson was, in no small measure, iml.ihtnrl tn h;r dau htcr since in less than three months, she threw aside her i i. ' mrmrnirnr anfl riecame as uvciv as ever.

Charles Markhatn caught at this hint, which chimed with his own temperament, and he resolved to adopt it. In order that it might be carried out with perfect success, it was resolved to eetn indifferent to each other until the day fixed, in order to ward off any sus picion which might otherwise be aroued. So well wore these arrangements car ried out, that Mrs. Benson bad uo suspi cion of what was goio on. Not so with Squire Markhara. He had obtained a clue to the affair in some tnauncr, so thut be bad not only discov ered the fact of the elopement, but even the very day on which it was to occur. ,:Sly dog, that Charles," thought be to himself, as he sat down before the fire in his dressing-gown and smoking cap, leis urely puffing away at a choice Havana. "But I dou't wonder at it; he only takes after me. Still, I owe him something for keeping it so .secretly from me. It would be s good joke, if I were a little younger, to-cut him out and marry her in spite of him." Squire Markham, who was one of these jovial widowers who takes life as it comes mused more and inoro on this idea, otruck out by chance as it were, till he really began to think it worth something. ."After all," bbouted be," "I am not eo old neither or at least the ladies say so ,aud they ought to be good judges in eucb matters. I have heen a bachelor a good while, and ought to have found out before this how much more comfortable it .would be to have a pretty wife to wel come me home, and to do the honors of my table, and to help me keep that ras cal Charles in order. Egad! I've a half a mind to do it." Squire Markham took two more whiffs and exclaimed: "I vow I'll do it!" Wbat this mysterious IT was, we will leave the reader to infer from his very next movement. Kinging the bell ho in quired of the servant: 4Is Charles at borne?" "No sir," was the reply, "ho went out this morning and will be gone all day." "Humph! that'll do. So much the bet ter for my purposes," thought ho when left alone. ".Now I shall have tbo 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 ia his name, telling her that I have altered my mind aud will-just go at dark to-morrow night. She won't suspect any thing until the knot is tied, and then what a laugh we shall hare!" Squire Markham did not consider that it might make a little difference with the bride expectant. He considered it a eap- j ital joke on bis son, but looked no far ther. Ho accordingly drew his writing materials towards him and indited the following epistle: 'Dearest Florence: J find tbo day fixed for our elopement on some ac counts objeetionablo, and would like, with your permission, to substitute to-morrow evening. If I hear nothing from you, I shall infer lhatyou assent to this arrange ment I shall have a carriage in readi ness under the oak tree, at half-pant eight o'clock. You cap walk there without at tracting suspicion, and, as there will be no moon, we shall be able to carry out our plans without fear of discovery. I am happy, to say that the governor doosn't suspect in the least that a daughter-in-law ia in store for him. Won't he be a shatued. Your devoted Charley." "Egad!" said Squire Markhatn, laugh ing heartily, "that isn't bad, especially about humbugging me. Charley couldn't have doue better himself." So saying, be sealed it up and sent it over by a little Irish boy in his employ ment, having first marked "private" in the corner. "Be careful, Mike, to givo it to Miss Benson, and don't let any one else see it," was the parting injunction. Mrs. Benson was hitting in her quiet parlor, casting her eyes over a late num ber of Harper's Magazine. Florence be- "g absent on a shopping excursion, she lr. l - rnv l i 11 was ten aione. ine ringing or iue oeu nrougnc uer 10 me aoor. n un surprise saw tua the Psou who rang the bell u,u De ,a,sc lo 1110 respon-iouiues oi a parent if she did not unravel the mystery. "Here's a pretty doing!" she exclaimed, as soon as she could recover breath. "So l'loronce was going to run away and get married to that Charles Markham, with out so much as hinting a word to me." She leaned her head upon her hand, and began to consider. She was natur ally led to think of her own marriage with tbo late Mr. Benson, and the hap piness of her wedded life, and she coul not help heaving a sigh at the recollec tion. "Am I always to remain thus solitary? t she thought. "I vo half a mind not to show the letter to Florence, but to run a way with Charles to-morrow night on my own account. It's odd if I can t per suade him that tbo mother is as good as the daughter," and glanced complacently at the still attractive face and form re flected from the mirror. Just then sbc heard the door open, and Florence entered. She 'quickly crumpled up the letter and thrust it into her pocket. Floreuce and Charles did not meet during the succeeding day, chiefly in pursuauce of the plan tbey bad agreed to, in order to avoid suspicion. Squire Markham acted in an exceed ingly strange manner, to his son's think ing. Occasionally he would burst into a bearty laugb, which be would endeavor to suppress, and paee up and down the room, as if to walk off some of his super abundant hilarity. "What's in the wind?" thought Charles to himself. "It can't be the governor's getting crazy." Something was the mat ter, beyond a doubt. But what it really was be had not the faintest conjecture. At the fiour specified, the Squire had .bis carriage dra'vn up at the appointed rendezvous. He began to peer anxious ly In the dark for Florence. At length a female form, well muffled up, made its appearance. Thanking her in a very low whisper, less it might be suspected that he was the wrong person, helped her into the carriage, and drove off. Their des tination was the bouse of tbo Justice of the Peace, residing at a distance of eight, miles. During tho first part of the journey nothing was said. Both parties were de sirous of concealing their identity. At length, Squiro Markham, considering that after all he could not marry the la dy without her consent, and that the dis covery must bo made before the marriage decided to reveal himself, and then urge his own suit as well as he might. "Mydear Miss Florence," ho continu ed in his natural voice. "Why!" shrieked the lady," I thought it was Charles." "And I," said Squire Markham, recog nizing Mrs. Benson's voioe with astonish ment, "thought it was Florence." "Was it you, sir, who was arranging to elope with my daugthcrl" "No: but I conclude it was you ma'am who was meaning to elope with my son." "Indeed, Squire Markham you are wrong; tho affair coming incidentally to my knowledge, I concluded to take her j place seoretly, in order to frustrate her ' Dla"s." "Egad! too very idea 1 ban inyscir, jinent or tue gentleman irom iYentucuy, 8id the Squire laughing, "but the fact is which limits tbo war steamers to twelve we've both of us boon confoundedly sold, .hundred tons burden each, because Icon and the mischief of it is, I left a letter sidcr they are to be used if used, at all, for Charles, letting him know it; so uo-'agaiust those of the enemy of twenty-Sve doubtodly ho will take the opportunity to 'hundred or three thousand tons burden, run off with Florence during our, absence, Although I voted for those ten eteauiers and plume himself, the rascal, on tne way in which I was taken in." "I confess that I left a note for Flor- . . encolto the same purport. How she will laujrh at me! What an embarrassment!" "I tell you wbat,,:eaid the Squire, after a moment's "we pausc.can carry out our plons out after all. We each came out with the intention of getting Married. Why not marry each other, aud then, you know, we can make them believe we had it in view all along, and and only in tended to freighten them." Mrs. Benson assented with a little urg ing, in the course of an hour the twain were made one. They immediate ly returned, but found, as they anticipa ted, that Florence and Charles, discover ing their departure, had themselves step ped off in a different, direction with a similar intent. They made their appearance the next morning, prepared to laugh heartily at tbe frustrated plans of their parents, but learned with no little astonishment that they had struck up a bargaiu for them selves. Squire Markham and his new wife had the address to convince them that it was a premeditated plan, and to this day the youuger pair are ignorant of tbe plot and counter-plot, which led to this double union of two households. Questions and Answers. The following is a sample of tho ques tions which some eager searchers after knowledge in the East annoy our wes tern people with. Wo think the answers are to the point. "What kind of a country do you live in?" Mixed and extensive: it is made prin cipally of land and water. "What kind of weather?" "Long spells of weather are frequent, and sun shine comes off principally in the day time." "Have you plenty of water and how got." A good deal of water about and gener-. ally got in pails and whiskey. "Any good farms to be had ?" "Several small patchos have been fen ced in here and there, and to be had by paying money." "What kind of buildings." "Honic, Gothic and Slap ; thebuidings are chiefly out of door ; and so low be tween the joiuts that tbe chimneys all etick thro' the roofs." "What kind of society ?" "Good, bad, and iudiffrent and mix ed." "Any aristocracy ?" "A few specimens of the codfish kind who smell strong of thojfish market." "Is it cheap living there?" "Only five cents a glass and the water thrown in." "Any taste for music? "Strong buzz and wood saw in the ' daytime oat fighting at nights." "Any pianos." "A plenty, behides we have several eight horse power threshing machinos and a dog in every family." "Wbat could a very genteel family in moderate circumstances do for a living?" "Work, shave notes, steal, or if hard up rum." '-'Aro your people very inteligent?" "Some know all things that happen and some things that don't happen. A Good Witness. 'Did the defendant knock the plaintiff down with malce pre tense?' 'No, sir; he knooked him down with a flat iron.' You misunderstand me my friend; I want to know whether he attacked him with an evil intent.' "Oh, no, sir; it was outside the tent." "No, no; I wish you to tell me whether the attack was at all a preconcerted affair. 'No, sir; it was not a free conert affair, it was a circus." "Worthy of Imitation. Every man iu China may pay up his dobts at tho beginning of the year, and also at the time of a religioas festival, about tbe middle of the year. If unable to settle at these times, his business stops until his debts are paid.

I object to the amend- to-day, and voted for the four for the lakes, I waa not influenced to do so be cause r had the remotest idea that there J is any probability of a war, but because our naval iorce is inefficient, aud will be so long as we rely upon our vessels. I voted for them that we might have a more efficient Navy. Mr. Chairman, I stated some days ago that we were far behind tho English in the strength of our naval force. I have been at some pains to look at tbe com parative naval power of the several na tions of the world, and here are the facts I have collected; England had, at the close of the Crimean war, about five hun dred war steamers. Sho had two years ago ninety-one lines of ocean mail steam ers running direct from England to for eign ports, employing about four hunered steamer?; and she had twenty-five lines ruuning between foreign porta in connex ion with them, employing one hundred and five steamers; making five hundred and five ocean mail steamers which re ceive large sums direct from tbe govern ment as an inducement for their several companies to establish and run them. These are all subject to the order of the government whenever the exigencies of war render it necessary for her to use them, cither as war steamers or transport vessels. Thus it will be seen that she has a war force at her command of about one thousand steamers, besides nearly the same number of mercantile steamers, making a grand total of nearly two thousand ocean steamers. Sir, she has taken already a large share of our carrying trade, aud nearly tho whole of the most valuable portion of it. Thoro are now forty-four English, five Belgian, five French, and four Hamburg steamers running in the American trade, while there are but eight American fifty-eight to eight. No wonder that sev enty hundredths of our commerce was, last year, in tbe hands of foreigners; and they will soon have a monopoly of it if we go on much longer in tho blundering way we have been going under Democrat ic rule, for five years past. France, though not a first class com mercial Power, has gono far ahead of us in building ocean steamers. Sho has one hundred and thirty war steamers on tbe Mediterancan, Levant, Black, North, and Baltic seas. Austria, not a commercial nation at all, has one hundred and Un eteamers on the same seas; and Russian over one hun dred, and is constantly increasing her steam power. Tbe United States has only twenty, eight of which only carry from one to six guns; some of them not fit to be sent out side of a harbor. We have a few line-of-battle ships, old sailing vessels; but of wbat use would they be to cope with modern war steam ers? Besides, it will be found, I presume, upon their being surveyed, as they have been ordered to be, that it will cost more to repair them than they will be worth when repaired. I am, thereforo, in favor Mr. Chairman, of building steamers, so. that we may bo able to meet our enemies, when we have any, on a footing of equal itypand not compel our brave offioers and men to fight at large odds. Just as well might we continue to arm our soldiers with the old fasboned musket and ex pect them to whip an equal number arm ed with Minnie rifles and improved breech loading arms. Mr. Chairman, advocating the build ing of war steamers, I do not wish to be understood as countenancing tbe idea that wo are at all in danger of having a war with England at this time or at any oth er time near at band; but for the sake ot having a Navy that can render efficient protection to our commcrco in distant seas, and command the respect of those nations which rospect only those that ex hibit ample ability to protect their own flag, and all who are entitled to protect ion under it. Sir, England is governed by wise and sagacious statesmen, and no people in the world know better than the English up on which sido their "'bread is buttered." She and her people are too wise and sa gacious to ruu into a war with her best customer, unless absolutely compelled to do so. Does she not know that the dom inant party have been fixing our tariff for her special benefit ever sinao they re pealed the Whig tariff of 1842? Does she not know that undor present tariff laws, foreign nations have almost a mo nopoly of manufacturing the goods our people wear and uso, and that sho comes in for the lion's share. It would be the height of folly in her to make war upon us, or to caufe us to make war upon her, so long as tbe party jn power renders her such inestimable services at the expense of onr own manufacturers, laborers aud merchants. Why, sir, it would be killing the goose that laid for her owner a gold en egg doily. No, no, sir; we need have no apprehensions of a war, nor need we upon American industry and home man ufactures. That is a cruel, unnatuml re lentless war; it kills by starving, aud its victims are powerless. Sir, the Democratic party may well af ford to sound the trumpet of war in these Halls. It calls no one to battle, and a larms none but old women and nervous invalids. We have, in years gone by, heard the daily cry in the Senate from a venerable, a very venerable old Senator, that "war was inevitable;" and one might i suppose it to be so now; but it is not. . Tho frco trade which England enjoys with us, the monopoly, which she now po- , Besses of transporting our cotton to her own shores, of manufacturing it for us, and then of transporting th& goods made of it back to us, she' appreciates too high ly to throw tbem away thoughtlessly. And, again, she knows well the import ance to her of having the privilege of put ting her own instead of home valuations on the goods sho sends u; by which means she evades the payment of a large por tion of the duties that ought to bo paid, and drives American importers out of business in our own cities. England knows well that five years' war, or non-intercouse with us, would build up our manufacturers on a solid foundation, and thus take from them their most profitable market, and their largest, for many years to come. Our weak point is California; and, until we get a railroad aoross the country, it would not only be very expensive to protect our Pacific coasts but with our small Navy it would be ab solutely impossible, against any powerful nation; but so long as we dig gold for England, so long as we are simply their miners, and all we get goes directly iuto her lap; wo taking finery and gowgaws, and goods which we ought to manufao tacture for ourselves, in payment for this gold; so long as the labor of her women and children can pay for the productions of our mines; why should she desire to disturb the present state of thiugs, so prof itable to her 7 No, Mr. Chairman, you need not alarm yourself or tbe country about a war with Eugluud. Instead of that it would be well for us to turn our atttention to the state of our finances, our general trade, and manufactures; and see if anything can be doce to benefit the country. This Administjation found some twen ty millions in the Treaury; it has been in power a little more than a year, aud what is the condition of the-Treasury now? Bankrupt. And, although we have been digging gold at tho rate of more than four aud a half millions a moth, still the gov ernment has been obliged to resort to what the party used to call "the ra'g-mon-ey currency," to tbe issuance of Treasury notes, formerly classically denominated "Treasury shinplasters." What a beau tiful state of things! What statesman ship it proves the President and bis Ad ministration to possess! What wisdom, sagacity, patriotism ! And yet, bankrupt as the Government is, it obstinately pur sues a policy calculated not only to im poverish it still more, and compel the Secretary of the Treasury to heap debt upon debt, by borrowing, but it is also calculated to depress American enter prise, cripple American industry, destroy American manufactures, aud to reduce to the lowest price American produce. Such folly and maduess would astonish us if wo were not accustomed to and familiar with it. Mr. Chairman, I have a word to say on the war policy of the present Administra tion. It has displayed the same wisdom and foresight in regard to this as in re gard to its financial polioy. For tome reason or other, a war upon Utah was deemed expedient. It was necessary to chastise the Mormons for Brigbam Young's insolent and insane ravings. Tbe war was commenced; the Army, at an immenso expense of suffering, was march ed thousands of miles through the wilder ness, millions of dollars had been expen ded in recruiting and provisioning it for the campaign; and when, after months of toil crossing tho mountains, forcing its way through valleys obstructed by snow, and in struggles with an inhospitable cli mate, it had at length arrived within stri king distanoo of the enemy, peace com missioners were dispatoeed in haste to overtake and stop its advance, aud to ne-1 gotiate with the Mormons for peace. J It has been usual, especially in modern times, to exhaust diplomacy before rcsor- ; ting to arms. But this old time-honored, wise, and Christian policy, was reversed, bv our Democratic President. lie do- clares war first, and treats afterwards. He mustered his battalionsjmarchcd them at an immenso expense of money and suf fering iuto the enemy's oouutry; aud when they had arrived, and every mail from the West promised tidings of the com mencement of hostilities, the President , bethought himself that it was limo to J check tho advauoe of the Army, aud send commissioners to treat with the enemy. Would it not have been wiser and inoro . conformable to the usages of civilized na- j tions, to have sent commissioners to iu- j quire into and report upon the Mormon outrages, before Bonding an army iuto their country ? By doing so, be would . have saved millions to tbo Trasury, and the country might have profited by pursuing this course, the Kansas iniquity might not have been so easily or safely accomplished, had it not been for tho war. The contracts and appointments incident , to this Mormon war were strong levers to force refractory partizans back into the ranks of the party from which they had been frihtend by tho Kansas enormity. Epaulets for sons or nephews, contracts lor brothers or other relations, are won derfully poteut in induciug thoso who have faltered for a moment, to return to the standards from which thoy havo de sorted. Sctruplos of conscience are ap peased; alarmed and startled honor 4 satisfied; and the partisan goes back fd bisruoks, bending under the patronage purchved by subserviency, and tho ig nominy due to his desertion of principle. I am not prepared to say that any one, here or elsewhere, has been influenced, by such considerations. But it would be nothing new in the history of human na ture, to find out hereafter, that appoint ments to office and contract! for supplies had more or less to do in the consumma tion of the Kansas swindle. But what ever may be tho opininion9 entertained respecting the wisdom of the President's war policy, its novelty will be universally conceded. Hitherto nations have sent embassadors to treat, in order to prevent war; but our President has made war in order to have an opportunity to send em bassadors to treat; and I have no doubt that it will soon be the boast of tbo Dem ocratic party that the President has been signally successful iu his management of the Mormon war, and especially in the' restoration of peace, which it appears had never been disturbed, except by the bois' terous declamation of over-ardent dema gogues. But this is not the only ground of boast in which the party may rightfully indulge. Lc-.s than two years since, the then Ad ministration was almost at its wits' end to discover means to deplete tho national Treasury. Debts duo a long time hence were brought up at large premiums, in order to prevent tho accumulation of an undue and injurious amount of money in the treasury. And notwithstanning all' its efforts, Mr. Guthrie left the Treasury a little more than fifteen months ago with a surplus on band of the amount I have before stated. Mr. Cobb took his place,, and straightway what Mr. Guthrie had had labored for in vain was aohieved, and more than achieved. Under the man agement of Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of the Treasury, the inconvenient surplus was soon disposed of. The firet step in Mr. Cobb's financial policy was to get rid of the surplus left on hand by his predecessor. In this he succeeded. He not only emptied the Treasury, but things have been so man--aged by bira and his party friends that bo has not been able to again to fill it, but was compelled, as the House knows and! the country knows, to resort to an issuer of Treasury notes. Here, too, we bave had a sample of the wisdom and consist ency of the Administration; and, after the denunciation, so loud and so often re' peated, of "bank rags," have a recommen dation to issue Treasury notes. "Why not ask for a loan ? Simply because it was supposed the people might be beguil ed into believing that an issue of Treas ury notes was not a public debt. Ho be gan by asking for S5,OUU,000; then for S10,0U0,OUU; and finally for SI 5,01)0,000; and we now know that $40,000,000 will hardly carry tbe Treasury through antil tbe next meeting of Congress. Where has the money gone! What great improvements have been made? How muoh of this vast outlay has been applied to pay the thousands and millions of dollars due to claimants, whose claims aro indisputably just? Wbat. account can tho Administration render to tho country of a stewardship so discharged? A year ago tho whole country was re joicing in a constantly increasing prosper ity Commerce, agriculture, and manu factures, were all flourishing.
