I shall not soon forget that day,
Perehande the thoughtless may,
Day; fraugh:t with memories sad and street,
Fled With its acts away, - •
From mountain top to valley green,
•
Bathed brightly in sunlight,
While sparkling streams and songsterri• gay,
Hailed us with wx • • e g
When we ; as strangers hastened on,
. To join the merry throng,
To celebrate a festive day,
The aged and the young, '
Beneath the shady boughs we me_ti
Upon a carpet green, •
While smiling softly trent above,
The glorious sun was seen.
The-young, the beautiful were there,
Perchance the high, the low,
The_iviae,the good, the rich arid poor,
All, roaming to an.fro,
Each heart seemed bounding light with. joy,
As laugh and jest past round,
Then seated on our carpet gfeen,
We spread our, luxuries down.
With all the dainty things of earth,
The appetite to please,
While generous friends still kindly prompt,
• —Fa.rtake-of-this,—that,-these
No pomp, no ceremony show — ,
No fashionable air,
weet-smiling-nature-all-around, ,
he puxe - in' heart-tohee
But pleasures of that joyous day,
-ike-others-will-havelled
When memory dwells on those kind hearts,
Who tears of pity shed.
For oh the gentle kind were there,
Amid that happy throng,
To drop - a tear in sorrow's cup,
To help the weak along,
And I, of those, shall often think ;
(How sweet to memory yet,)
Tho' strangers still in name and form,
I never shall forget.
Who with that mother dropped a. tear,
When from her heart was wrung,
The cry, lost, lost my darling child
A mothers little son;
Those words of sympathy and love,
The,willing feet that ran,
To seek the little wanderer up,
The thoughtless lit lamb.
And when at last, the little one,
Is guided to her arm,
Found by a . stranger, - wandering far,
In team and sad alarm.
What tears of joy and gratitude,
Fell on that mother's ear;
From stranger's lips ne'er heard before,
Again may never hear.
Accept y.e sympathetic one,
The prayer this heart would send,
Thaflheast's as:warm, sincere as thine,
Smile on thee to life's end,'
And thou unknown. one, ever feel
Within.a mother's soul, •
There blooms the flower gratitude,
For bringing to the fold,
Her little wandering boy, so dear
Found on the highway of despair,
Weeping sad alone
For mother, friends and home.
Or if like him your footsteps stray,
Beyond the pasture green,
May angels bring thee back again,
To duty's path serene,
And bring thee, to a Savior's breast,
• From sin and death away,
This, this, the tribute I would give,
This shall I humbly pray.
Met in the golden morn of day,
We parted .at its close,
Cheered by Luna's silver beams,
Speaking of sweet repose;
Fatewell bright joyous, festive day,
Farewell each loving heart.
Met once upon life's ocean vast,
Met, but alas 1 to part,
Shall we when storms of life are past,
As friends of Jesus meet, . .
To celebrate His feast of love
At our Redeemer's feet?
God grant indeed it may be thus,
. The loving kind, sincere,
Meet oft as strangers in life's path,
No more, as strangers There!

fortnight that was fit-to elit— Why, ' the
stomach of a horse couldn't stand such

"Well," said Mrs. Austin, thoughtful
ly, "I s'pose all you've got to do is to say
the word. You and Bessie Barton have
-b-r
iten - keeping, - stea - dy - arnipany - nigh - about
a year,"
"Bessie Barton is no wife for me. I
would as soon think of 'marrying Sally,
there in the kitchen, as her."

IrsAustin-dropi. _-ner-knitting—an.
looked over her spectacles at her son in
"Why, Julius. What's the fuss ?"
- "There's - been - no great fuss, - only I told
her that if John Gillman wants to court
her now as bad as he, used to, I shan't
stand in his way. To come to the point,
mother, I want a wife who knows how to
cook and fix all sorts of victuals, and do
it up brown, too ; and I've found out
that Bessie can't get up any ordinary din
ner that anybody but a starving man
could swallow."
"And you used to be always harping
about the good dishes they, served at Hen
ry Barton's."
"Guess you haven't heard me say any
thing about.the dinner I ate there yester
day," said Julius, dryly, an 1 Mrs. Aus
tin shoved her spectacles up over her fore
head and exclaimed :
"Dear me ! Now, Julius you . don't say
"Yes—Henry would have me stay.—
Mrs. Barton was sick abed, and the hired
girl was away, so I had a chance'to find
out that the good dinners I'd had there
before weren't cooked by Miss Bessie, for
of all dinners I ever tasted,•my yesterday's
one was the cap-sheaf. The beef was burnt
black, and the pudding was soggy, and
the salad was enough to make a dog sick."
"No wonder, Julius," said Mrs. Austin,
somewhat anxiously, for. Bessie was her
particular favorite. "No wonder, I should
think, with her mother sick and needing
to be waited on, and the girl gone, and
half a dozen extra ahnds to work in the
harvest. One pair of hands can't do every
thing, nor one head think of everything
at once. I know that much."
"Nonsense, mother. It's no more work
—and I've heard more than one say so—
to cook for a dozen than one when a body
is about it. Isn't it just as easy to roast
a large peice of meat as a small one, and
to stir up a big pndoling as a little oner'
This was man's logic, and Mrs. Austin
being only a woman, of course could not
meet it ; so she made no answer.
"To tell the truth," Julius pursued with
a small measure of embarrassment, "I'm
sorry—not that I found it out, for it's a
lucky thing for me that I did—but that
is so, for in other respects Bessie is as
smart as steel." -- And Julius looked for
the moment as though to give her up caus
ed him real pain.
Mrs. Auston was not so disappointed as
to let the curiosity said to be so natural
to her sex remain long dormant.
"Well, Julius, who are you going to
marry ?" '
e "That's just what I don't know myself,
but I've hit on a plan by which I can get
the kind of wife I. want without the both
er of courting. I've vritten an advertise
ment stating my needs, desires, &c., and
this afternoon I shall take.it to the print
ing office,."
Mrs.. Austin dropped her knitting again
and ejaculated : •
"Tear me, what is the world coming to?
Here•he wants to do away with the good
old fashion of courting, and marry a per
fectstranger. What heathenish nonsense?"
gOld fogyism is passed away. . The
world is growing wiser,".said Julius, sage
ly as he foldedA closely. written sheet of
paper which he deposited...carefully in his
pocket, then tapping...the pocket signifi
cantly, he added,,.‘!.This.will get me a wife
that you will be .proud Mark my
word about that." •
While Julius had been conversing with
his mother he had likeivise been busy in
brughing his hair, adjusting his collar and
putting on his coat, and noir taking his
hat and gloves,
he went out, saddled a
horse and took his way to the city for the
express and only purpose of having his ad
vertisement inserted in one of the dailies.
Mrs. Austin watched him until he dis
appeared, with a troubled countenance,
then suddenly a shrewd smile flitted over
her face. She arose from her seat, say
ing : •
"Yes, Julius, I shall be proud of the
wife that I.am going to help you to get.
I know all about these things, and I'll
warrant Bessie was mortified near about
to deitb over that very dinner. She - knows
how to cook. I've been there te lea when
I know she made the cake 'and biscuits
dliad - thon -- light and rich as - a cor
and baked to aturn."
How much richnesS there might or
might not be in a cork,. Mrs. Austin did
not stop to consider, but telling Sally to
have the bay mare before the• buggy, the
little woman made herself ready for a
drive.
The'next day 4 - ulius drew from hiiipock
et a newpaper and shoiied his mother a
long and very explicit matrimonial ad
vertisement to which the not very poeti
, is is - 0 '4l V
. tii: l, was a : -
Suddenly Mrs, Austin was Wonderfully
taken up with her son's plan forgetting a
wife.
"She couldn't see after all," she said,
"why the advertisement wouldn't be just
e s mg.
The next day brought a half dozen let
ters in as many different styles of writ
ing in answer to the advertisement. Ju
lius proudly showed them to his mother,
who declared "that she was sure every
one of them came from somebody's men
folksi - -the-writiokl-scrmannieh - ."
She excepted, one, however, which was
certainly delicately penned and signed
"Dora Mead."
_"_You_don't_want to write_to_the_whole
posse, do you ?" said his mother. "If I
were you I'd begin with this little dainty
one." .
So Dora Mead's letter received an an
swer. More came from her and were
promptly replied to, and at the end of a
fortnight Julius felt intimately acquain
ted with a lady he had never seen. He
knew her side color if lildr_and_e,yes,_and
what_wns ofmore_satisfaction-to-hiin-,-h -
knew - that-she-could-prepare-the most
tera ding dishes fit for a prince, for by
is I esire she had written out and sent
him her methods for making various
sorts of edibles. These recipes MrsZAus
tin had indulged her son by "trying,"_ and
Julius had been enchanted by the lucious
results, and the happy fellow was sure
that thus is the easiest manner possible he
had found a woman worthy to be his
wife.
Julius was so perfectly satisfied that he
did not ask permission, nor desire to see
the future Mrs. Julius until he should
see her in her bridal -robes. The day for
the wedding was:finally set,and Julius was
a little surprised and a good deal vexed
when Dora insisted upon the wedding•
taking place at Henryjßarton's. His fam
ily, she wrote, were the nearest kin she
had in the world, and since they were per- .
fectly willing, - she should very much pre
fer being married at their house.
"I don't believe I care anything for
Bessie now," muttered Julius, as he read
DOra's Letter. "I'm determined I won't
any way since lam going to marry an
other, but---, well confound it,l. don't'
like the notion of having Bessie by when
lam married; but Dora seems so set a
bout it I suppoded I shall have to let her
have her way."
Julius was uncommonly serious and re:
ticent, as, with his mother by hie side he
drove to the house of Henry Barton on
the day appointed for his wedding. He
was going to the very house where he had
passed so many happy hours with Bessie.
Going there to be married, not to-her, as
his heart at this late hour told -him he
should be, but to another, one whom he
had never seen, about whom--he kneW
nothing save that she could name ingre
dientS; and the quantity of each, necessa
ry to make certain delectable dishes.—
But was not this enough? Julius tried
to reason with himself that it was. He
thought of Bessie's spoiled dinner, and
tried "to steal his heart more sorely against
her but in vain, he was in Bessie's home
—breathing the air she breathed, seeing
the scenes with which she was familiar.
her birds were singing in the cage over
his head, - her flowers were blooming in
the window. Everything spoke ..to him
of her. He felt- that moment that he
loved her only, and he-vas thinking of
her when his thoughts should have been
given to his bride, until some one came
for him. .The few. guesps who had been
invited; and minister, Were waiting in the
parlor, and the bride -was • -in readiness.
Mechanically Julius followed his con
ductor to the room- where . for the fait
time he was to , behold his bride. The
door was thrown open. His mother was
in the room looking mysteriously myrth-'
ful. Two or-three of the , neighbor's girls
who, from their dress; were to act a
bridesmade,- were there,.aml Bessie, also
dressed inWhite, with a few pale roses in
her hair. .
But where was the bride ?
Julius stood in awkward , sileace.;look
ing about the room.
"You wonder where she is ; .Dora
Mend I Mean," said his mother, "Come,
Bessie, don't stand there Cushing . ; so
come forward and let this dainty , . epicure
know how he has been outwitted."
Bessie looked almost ready to sink with
shame. Covering her face with her hands
she dropped into a seat.
"Lawful sakos7 said -Mrs. Austin,
persuasively ;."you. needn't, take on so,
Just because your name

lius, I know by your looks that you re a

And Julius was only too happy to do
as his mother suggesaa;.ind when he led
his bride, blushing!`celestial rosy red"
before the aged. minister, who can tell how
many degrees happier he felt than. an
hour before he had expected that the e
vent of his marriage with Dora Mead
could make him.

that the_prisoner (Stout) handled the des
