JJAKGAIMS -AT 0ct.31 3m PEASE OLD STAND. How Ben Purtle Got His Wife. The Very climax of ugliness was Ben Puvtlel He was red haired, and every hair stood as if it cherished the most supr> me contempt for its neighbor. IT> face was truckled as the most bcspotted turkey egg; his nose supported at the bridge a tinge bump, while the end turned viciously to oue side. His form was as un couth as his face was ugly; still, what was very stiange, ho had a most hand some, bouncing, blooming wife, such as only can be grown on a country farm. “How the deuce,” said I to Ben one day, “did you ever, get such a wife —you uncouth, misshapen quintessence of monstrosity ? Ben was not at ail off nded at the impu dence of my question, and forthwith pioceeded thus to solve the mystery: “Nil gals, what’s sensible, ain’t eo'cited in your higldalnten airs and quality dressin’ and cologne. You know that Kalo was always called the prettiest girl in all these parts, good tempered, too, and all tho fellows tried to catch her. 1 used to go over to Uncle Sammy’s just to look on, you know, and cast sheep’s eyes at Kate, but lord sakes! I had no more idea that I could get Kate than a Je rusalem cricket could hide in the hair on Sammy’s bald head. I oould’nt help sighing, and my ears would burn and my heart kind o'flutter whenever I would talk to K ite One day when Kate sort ’o ma ie fun of me like, it almost killed me sure. I went home with something like a rock jostling around in my breast, and c’veu a’uiost thought I’d hang myself with tho first plow line I found.” “Did you hang yourself ?” I asked “No! Daddy blazed off at me for me not taking old Ball to pasture in tie morning and scared me so bad that I forgot all about it.” “Go on,” said I, seeing Ben pause with apparent regret that he had not executed his vow. “Well, one Sunday morning, I reckon, about a year after the hang ing scrape, I got up and scraped my lace with daddy’s razor, and put on my new Jinsey coat and coperas britches, mamy had dyed with sassa fras bark, and fixings, and went over to Uncle Sammy's. Now I’d got to loving Kate by this time like all crea tion, but I’d never told anybody about my feelings. Well, when I got there, I found Joe Sharp and his two sisters were there, and that the order of the day was to go a muscadine hunting. Joe Sharpe was flying around —Miss Kate this’ and Miss Kate ’tother’ —by and by we came to a nasty black muddy slough that we had to cross on a log, and nothing would do but that Joe Sharp should lead Miss Kate across. They got about half way when in went a tarna tion big bull frog, and in went Miss Kate to the waist in the nasty, black, muddy slough. Joe ran backwards and forwards on the log hallowing for a pole to help her out. I was in there, and had her out loss than no time. Joe Sharp came up and says, ‘Miss Kate are you hurt V’ My dan - der was up, and I couldn’t stand it. I just caught him by the seat of his white trousors and the back of his coat collar and gave him a toss. May be he didn’t go clear under when he struck the water. I didn’t wait to see him out. Me and Kate struck right out for the house. By and by Kate says: ‘Ben, just let mo hold on to your arm; my knees feel sort ’o week.’ i made a tremendous effort to say something nice, but confound the luck, I couldn’t get my mouth off no how. But I felt as strong as an elephant, and helped Kate along. By and by Kato says: ‘Ben, that Joe Sharp is a good for nothing, sneaking cowardly nobody, and if he puts his head inside our house again, I’ll souse him with dirty water, sure.’ I | made another tremendous effort to ' get my mouih off, but nothing could I say. By aud by Kate says: ‘Ben, i I feel that you are my protector, aud : believe daddy about right when he I says you are worth all tLe boys in the 1 neighborhood.’ I made another tre | meudous effort to get my jnouth off, and out it popped sure enough—said 11, ‘Kate if you are going to have me, just say so, right str light up aud down.’ Kate didn’t say anything, but hung down her head and kinder sighed. I felt encouraged; said I, | ‘Kate if you are going to have me just ! squeeze my hand,’ and she squoze it right straight. Great geemeny, how j I did feel. I felt like a stream of sas [ afras tea, sweetened with molasses, was running through my bones I cotched her right around the ueek and kissed her square on the mouth, aud she never tried the first time to get loose. Old Sammy was mighty well pleas ed about the thing, and so was the i old woman, and we got married the very next fall after the muscadine scrape. ' $2.50 A YEAR; How a Woman Shut Her Eyes and Waited to be Shot by Her Husband. John Wilson has for more than a year lived with his family in the third story of lid Blocker street. He is 41 years old, and his wife is ten yeaie younger, and pretty. They have four children, the oldest of whom is a boy of 7. Wilson is sober and industri ous, but bis jealousy of his comely wife amounts to a mania. The neigh bors in the building say that he has no ground for his jealousy, and Mrs. Wilson says that she loves him too well to be untrue. He has of late been a night watchman on a steam boat wharf. At one o’clock yesterday morning he went home, and told his wile that he intended to kill her and himself. “I was sitting in n chair,” says Mrs, Wilson, “and there wasn’t any way of defending myself. I was certain I was going to be killed; and oh, how I dreaded the shot! I seemed to think of a hundred things in a second. My husband took a revolver out of his pocket and then I shut my eyes. I didn’t scream or say a word, but just -at still with my eyes closed, expect ing to be shot. The revolver went off once, and I was surprised that I could not feel the bullet hit mo. I didn’t know how I really was shot aud didn’t feel it for some reason or other. Then another barrel went off, and then an other, tid five shots had been fired. My oldest buy, who was abed, cried when the last one went off, and then I opened my eyes. I tell you it was awful, waiting that way to be shot.” Wilson had not shot at his wife, but at himself. Quo bullet went into his stomach, one into his hand, two into the wall, aud the li th, striking a knife in his pocket, glanced off and wounded the boy slightly in the head. Two alarmed females called a police man, aud the father and boy were taken to the Bellevue hospital. Mrs. Wilson was with her husband yester day, seemingly soiicitous for his re covery, which is considered certain. — New York Sun. The Vegetable Bitters Man. Josh Billings has this to say of the vegetable bitters man: Whenever a man gets ded broke, and kan’fc think ov nothin to raze tfie wind with, and hiz untie won’t hav him boardin at hiz house enny longer, and hiz boots want tappiu the wust way, he takes sum rubarb root, fu katuip blossoms, and sum black cher ry tree bark, soaks them fourteen hours in cheap whisky, and goes bed long into the life-renovating tonik bizziness. He placters every fence, saw mill, log, ston wall, aud cow’6 back, from Portland, Maine, to San Francisco, with red-yellow plakards, offering to ht-al tbe halt, make the blind talk, aud the deaf see, aud renew tho livers of all kreation for one dollar and a quarter a bottle. He takes rooms at sum fust-clo-i. hotel, drives four in band, and never is seen only on the jump. He is az phull of business as the su perintendent of a Sunday skool on a piknix day; and call on him when you will to collect yure little bill of eight dollars he has just left for Baltimore, or won’t be home from Nu Orleans until week after next. Theze men are not all of them tin skrnpulus; some of their kompounds are too siipple to do any hurt or good, and the worst perhaps that kan be sed of them iz, that they knowingly prao tiss upon the kredulity ov humau natur. The vegetable bitters man is a knn niug critter, full of pomposity, fre quently ucknmulafes a fortune, but never kan entirely outlive a certain kind of rubarb and katuip smell that scents his reputation. Forgiveness. The mantle of charity ought to be thrown around ihe faults of our fel low beings. “Ihy sins be forgiven thee,” should be the answer for us to give to those who have sinned against us, and wished to be taken back to our bosoms and be as they once were, pure and sinless. Forgive and for get; memory will not let us forget, but is iu the power of exalted human benevolence. Saddening scenes will often press themselves upon our at tention, even when we do the beet to prevent them. So scenes of inharmo ny between ourselves and our human relations will arise in the soul, hot withstanding the presence and influ ence of that principle Christian char ity which should inspire every human soul with its divine effulgence. Yet memory, however, faithful to her trust, will not prevent ns from being lenient towards the faults and follies of others, and even to forgive their departure from a true life.
