TIM LONE WIDOW :
Or, Three liremerhher Hileveleaerike. •
liOrS110117; TAM
Mr. Paul fiennett died in a fit of apo
plexy. Mrs. Dennett was, of course, a
widow. People pitied her, and sympa
thized deeply with her, and she'admin
istered to herself large doses of effectual
consolation in the shape of black crape
and bombazine. After two years of
mourning (sincere, we have every rea
son to believe!) Mrs. Dennett laid
black aside, (it had begun to grow a
little rusty,) and substituted lavender,
and in duo time lavender gave way to
green ; and conceived the idea of adopt
ing a boy to run errands, do chores, etc.
The urchin whom Mr. Dennett had him-
self taken into his family, four years
before his death, had grown to be a
1 young man of twenty; and the girls
all pronounced him a fine, handsome
felk)*, and on their authority we veal
tare to recommend him as such. Oth
ers beside the girls thoughtbso; Mrs.
Dennett herself had long been of the
same opinion, and as she was both rich
and handsome, Mr. George Jones valued
her estimation of his virtues very high
ly, and after the instalment okthe now
boy, Jim Snip ? . he offered the widow
the benefit of his name. Mrs. Dennett
blushed—shed a couple of tears over
the memory of the "dear departed,"
and straightway gave herself into the
keeping oy Mr. J ones.
A very happy life they led to all ap
=nce—th e widow,(now Mrs. Jones,)
e rejuvenated; and George's
whiskers and aquiline nose made him
look ten years older—so the neighbors
said. Ten years passed away—" ten
years of unalloyed bliss," as Mrs. Jones
was wont to say, arid George was at
tacked with pneumonia, which ended
his career in a brief period. At his
death he was laid by the side of the first
husband, and again was black crape in
requisition.
The two years of stipulated mourn
ing over and Jim Snip, now twenty
two, thought h o could do no better than
proffer himself for the widow Jones'
consolation. Widow Jones was "lonely
like, without any body to keer for,"
and she, appreciating his kindness, ac
cepted his proposition, and became
Mrs. Jim Snip. Shortly after their
marriage Mr. Snip, who by the way,
was somewhat afflicted by that terrible
disease known among the French as
faineantise, deemed it prudent to adopt
a boy to wait on him, "and," as be jok.-
ingly said, " for Mrs. Snip's fourth hus
band!" Mrs. Snip, on being consulted,
thought it expedient to take a girl too,
while they were about it : " as it would
save her a sight cf steps, and be handy
to have around."
The choke fell on John Hawkins, a
lad of fifteen—the son of a poor farmer
in the vicinity; and Mary Smith, an
orphan, habitue of the almshouse. John
was an exceeding smart fellow, and
'limy was a pretty blue-eyed lass of
twelve years. The children agreed
wonderfully well, and Mrs. Snip de
clared " they were a mighty main' about
the house."
. Six more years lied swiftly on, and a
sudden cold did the business or Jim
Snip. He "shuffled off hia mortal coil"

GETTYSBURG, PA.:
At the expiration of fifteen months,
Mrs. Snip, having got "in the marry
tng way,' proposod to give John Haw
kins a life interest in her estate as junior
partner. She gave the astonished
young man two days and one night to
consider the proposition, and John, who
was deep in love with Mary Smith,
scarcely knew whether he was living or
dead. no really did not know what to
do; it was a tempting offer—the widow
was rich, and only twenty-six years hie
senior, and John was " on the fence,"
ready to jump either way, hat could not
exactly make up his mmd which. So
he asked Mary's advice.
Now Mary Smith was &sensible girl,
and she loved John Hawkins passing
well, but she knew that Mrs. Snip pos
sessed the power to turn them both up
on the world without a farthing—more
over, Mrs. Smp was troubled with the
asthma, and had frequent spells of the
cholic, and was rich to boot—so she
told John it was best to accept the
widow's offer, and trust to providence
that she would in time be taken " from
the evil to come." With this very
pious decision their confab came to an
end'. John went directly to Mrs. Snip
and testified himself ready to take the
vacant place of "poor master-Snip;"
whereupon, the widow kissed John's
chin, and the bargain was sealed.
Three weeks of manufacturing pies,
puddings and sweet cakes (people had
victuals worth eating in those days,)
and then there was a grand wedding.
Through it all Mary Smith wont about
singing as merry as a lark—Mary's
trust in Providence was miraculously
strong!
Five long years glided by, and Mrs.
Hawkins was taken sick one day with
dysentery. Mary flow around the
'house like a bird—she thought the
hour of deliverance was near at hand.
Alas ! for the fallacy of human hopes !
Mrs. Hawkins' bold on life was strong,
and what was more, she was determin
ed it should always continue so. Four
weeks of violent illness—the physicians
pronounced her case hopeless—when
lo! as if by magic, the death-struck
woman rallied, grew better, sat up,
and is a fortnight, was again "as good
as new."
Mary Smith talked of going to the
factory, but John, ever hopeful, told
her to wait a little longer. So Mary
tarried.
Two years more, and returning from
the church, one Sabbath, with a vicious
horse, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were
throwniforom the eurrasp, me Mita, a.
was so balky injured - that her racoverT
was considered extremely doubtful.
But just as Mary began to look with a
reasonable degree of complacency to
the comfortable berth of Mrs. Hawkins
2d, Mrs. H. premier, began to improve,
and it was not long before she was fully
restored.
Sick with hope deferred, Mary again
suggested going to the. factory, and
,pgana John perituaded her to wait a lit
tle longer. So little Mary tarried.
She had had numerous offers of mar
riage, but she bad refused them all,
hoping that her patience would in time
be rewarded. Vain 1 Vain
Ten years flew along, and Mary, now
an old maid of nearly forty, still ro•
mained at the farm house. Most of her
rejected admirers were now married and
had families of their own springing ap
around them.
In spite of innumerable burns, scalds,
fevers, freezes, blistering' s, broken bones
and apoplectic Ate, Mrs. Hawkins still
"continued," and to all appearances
got smarter every day. Poor John be
gan to decline as she grew young.
Some of the superstitious neighbors as
serted that Mrs. Hawkins was a vam
pire, and sucked the very life out of
John; while others, not so romantic
by nature, did not hesitate to declare
that John's debility came of his sacking
the cider-mug I These latter people
were right, as it afterwards appeared,
for John died very suddenly in "a spasm
of highsterricka," as Mrs. Hawkins said,
but the physicians gave it as their opin
ion that ho perished from "excessive
absorption." Whether from bodily,
or spiritual absorption, they did not de
cide.
After the funeral, Mary Smith went
to the factory, and is there now fur
aught we know to the contrary.
The last we beard of widow hawking,
she was looking about for another boy
to adopt, and we expect every day to
receive au invitation to her fifth wed
ding. So much for the tenacity ante
in a "lone widder woman."
Good reader, our story is a true one,
which accounts for its lack of embel
lishment. We did not think well to
pile on the varnish too thick, lest the
original stock should become a non
entity.
/6PA little dv•-year-old friend of oars
was the other day puzzled, as many an
older head has been, in trying to form
an idea of the spirit as distinct from the
body. We endeavored to explain.—
" You said you loved me just now ?"
" Oh, yes—best!" " What do-you love
with, your forehead ?" "No." "Your
handf your foot? your cheek? your
eyes ?" " No—no--" and the inquiring
hand fluttered from one member to
soother as they were mentioned, paus
ing at last over the heart, with a tri
umphant " Oh, I know now what. Hove

Constitutional Convention treikted him

the Ohio Constitutional Convention
compelled him either to vote for that
