THE RUNAWAY MATCH.
Many vears ago there dwelt in the town
of P—, a pretty vtliagn, a’ distant some miles
from the market town, peculiarly comely
and graceful maiden, who had a decidedly
ugly and cross-grained but‘wealthy father
Minnie was Danforth’s only child, and
report said she would be his sole legatee.
ssKT’js'Lrr'-iis
The ap«rtlhg wand way. of
Minnie Danforth had stared up Uie finer
feelings of the whole maka portion of the vtl
and her suitors were numerous ; but
her father was particular, and none ane
ceededIn making ”7l headway against him or
her, 7 [
In the meantime Minnie had a true and
loval lover Wulffila in seqrot. His name was Wa'k
er—J«e he was simply .
farmer, employed hy old Danforth, who had
entrusted Joe with the management of his
place for Vgq pr three years.
Bat a very excellent farmer and good
manager was the plain, unassuming but
good-looking Joe Walker. He was only
tweflty-Uiree, and he actually fell in love
with beautiful, pleasant, joyous Minnie
Danforth. his old employer’s only daughter.
But the strangest part of the occurrence
was, Minnie returned his love earnestly,
truly and frankly, and promised to wed him
time. *
.
Things went on merrily for a white but
old Danforth- discovered •sertatrf glances

Joe learned the old man’s mind Indirectly
j*7 hand, ardtohu and he quickly sew that hla of case was
«...
K«m; aud so he at once set his wits to
work.
By agreement, an apparently settled
coolness was observed by the lovers towards
each other for five or six months, tnd the
all been premature. Then, by mutual con
sent, Joe absented himself from the house
*t evening ; and night for full three months
did lie disappear as soon as his work was
finished, to return home only at late bed
tiro' This was unusual, and old Danforth
determined to know the cause of It,
Joe frankly confessed that u>»iu3.artS» he was in love
«■;*
than three miies distant ; but, after several
months, the oid limn had .utterly refused to
entertain his application for the young
lady's hand.
Tijis was capital—just what old Dan
fort!l m()St j e3 n e j. This satistied him that
j ie j ia( j nia( j e a nflstake in regard to his own
child, and he would help to get Joe married,
and thus stop all further suspicions or
troubles at home, bo ne said .
“Well, Joe, js she a buxom lass ’ ^
-•Yes, sir,” said Joe. “That is other
folks say so. I in not much of a jud^e.
*
"And you like her ?”
“Yes, sir; yes."
“Then marry her,” said old Danforth.
“lean’t ; the father objects."
•“Pooh !’’ continued Danforth ), ; "let him
doso; , what i.i need-you care? „ Itun away
with her !”
“Eloptf?”
“Yes! Off with her at once ! If the gal
will marry you, alt right. Marry her and
bring her here. Ydh shall have the
cot.oge at the foot oi the lane ; I’d furnish
it f«r you , >our wages siull be inciiased,
and the old man may like it or not, as he
wi n ‘
jip *. ,_„
“Give me no , bats, t Joe. Do as I bid you ,
go about it at once, and-’
“You will stand by me?”
“Yes, to the last. I know you, Joe;
you’re a good fellow, a good workman, and
will make anybody a good’husband.”
“The old fellow will be so mad
though."
“Who cares, I say? Go on quietly but
quickly”
“To-morrow night, tlien,” said Joe.
“Yes,” said Danforth.
‘•I’ll hire Clover's horse—" '
“No iuu shan’t.
“No?”
“I say no. Take my horse-the best one
—young Morgan; he’ll take you off 4 in fine
style, in the new phaeton."
"Exactly,'
“As soon as vou*rc spliced, come right

U3 ,',
“Bah! u . , „ Tie , s an old ii» fool, i whoever i he I. is;
he don’t know your good qualities, Jon, as
well as 1 do. Don’t be afraid. A faint
lieart, you know, m ver won a fair
l^dy.”
•“The old man will he astounded.”
“Never mind, go on. We’ll turn the
laugh on him. I’ll take eare of you and
your wife at any rate.”
“I'll do it!" said Joe.
J 3 , h ru i r^sr fc
An hour after dark, on the following
evening, Joe made his appearance, decked
i„ a new black suit, and looking really
very comely. The old man bustled about
the barn with him, helping to harness
“young Morgan" to the new pluelon. and
fading the spunky animal himself to the
road. Away went the happy Joe Walker
. search of his bride. A few rods d s-ant
he foa.w her. as per previous arrangement. .
and . repairing to tbe next vjhage, the
parson very quickly made them one in

“I have 110 master,” replied the Amer

“Where’s your Captain then Sir ?”
“Jl e is below sir” was the reply.
On reaching the deck Captain Rogers
asked the Englishinati what he wanted.
The officer replied 1
“My commander wants to know by

To this the Captain replied: ”

The officer then remarked that his
commander considered it as an insult to
