AN ELoPEMENT AMONG THE GREEN Noun
TAINs.-A correspondent of the Boston Mail
writing from Ludlow, Vermont under the date
of Nov. 14th, say:
Gan elopement came off here few days
since, which caused no little merriment in this
region, and will serve to show the true grit Of
the Green Mountain girls Mr. G. paid his ad-
dresses to a Miss D. for some months, without
opposition from any quarter All at once the
lady's father fatty refused Mr. g. his house
In this state of affairs Miss D. resolved on
something desperate, and putting on her Sun
day toggery, went ont to make some calls, the
the most important of which was at the Sta
ton House, where she called for ticket to
Rutland, Mr.. G.'s place of residence. Arriv-
ing at Rutland she proceeded at once to Mr..
G.'s boarding house, and quietly informed him
of the state of affairs at home, and that she
had come to get married, and to be married
she would that night or never. Mr.. G. finding
all arguments useless, "caved in" and the
thing WINS did While the marriage ceremony
was being performed in Rutland, a pair Of
boots was being propelled round This village
with great velocity. The fury of the lady's
father was in those boots He had missed bis
daughter, and was very busy trapping up
his neighbors, to make inquiries for her, with
little success, till he called on the ticket mas
ter, who informed him that the missing one
had taken ticket for;
"O'er the Mountains and far away"
in the night train. The secret was out The
old gentleman, full of wrath, Immediately pul
horse power in competition with steam, and
the morning found him in the presence of the
runaway and her husband. When he was In
formed of what had taken place, he thought il
of little use to show fight, and quietly tool
his leave.

"O'er the Mountains and far away"
Population of the United States

Each successive census ofthe United States
reminds US forcibly that power is travelling
westward, with increased velocity. But it is
also, although less perceptibly, travelling
south, In 1890, the center of population for
the United States was in Baltimore county
Nd, forty six miles north, and twenty-five
from Washington. In 1900, it was in Carroll
county, Nd, fifty two miles north, and nine
miles east of the seatof government. In181O,
twas in Adams county, Pa, sixty-four miles
north, and seventy-one west of Washington
In 1920. it was in Morgan county, Va, Al
miles north, and 81 west of our national me-
tropolis. In 1880, it was in Hamshire county
Va, 80 miles north, and 1o9 west of Washing
ton. In 1910 it was in Marion county Va,
SO miles north, and 16o ives of the seat of
Government Thus far it has receded ten
miles south of its first parallel of latitude, and
advanced 1872 miles westwardly. In 1850, l
Judge this center will besfound at some point
between CIarksburg and Parkersburg, Va,
and in a direct course to Cincinnati which will
probably be the center in 1870 or 1880.

A PRAYER.
BY ELIZABETH NJ. sARaEANT.

BY ELIZABETH M SAhGEANI.
i'll have erred in cropping for the light,
That streameth from the far off golden portals,
Chasing the shapows from the guilty night,
That broodcth o'er the tribe of errng mortalsi-
III have grasped at shadowy forms and fair
That fit in wildering grace above, around me,
Thinking the true the bright, the good were there
Nor soft TO break this spell in which they bound me
Father! forgive me.
III have ever found bitter tear
Coursing down cheeks with sin paling.
And left no ray of JOY to picture there
Prsmatic glory through the grief-drops fang;-
If l have heard amid life's human choir,
One tone with sorrows uumstaken quVer,
And touched all carelessy the answering Tyre,
Causing strings at the rude touch to shiver,
Father! forgive me.
If have ever turned with whitening scorn
To censure i'll, mistaken designing,
And drank not patiently the bitter cup
Which thou in love hast profered, unrepining;
If have learned not from earth's Holiest One
To bear its thousand ills, its wrongs, its sorrow,
As bnt the darkness fleeing from the day,
The dusky herald Of glorious morrow,
Father! forgive me.
And oh! i'll have ever caused sigh,
In any heart my own had loved to cherish,
Among the hopes of Immortality
Unwithering joys, when all around shall perish;
Forgive me this;-for all unwittingly
Was every tho'tless deed, each light word spoken;
Time, care, may dim the eyes we love to see,
But tears, which bid flow, tell of deep fountains
broken,
Father! forgive me.

| The SCHOOL MISTRESS AND HER CANINE
FRIEND.-One of the most touching instances
of canine attachment, of which we ever heard
was related to US the other day, by matron
of the neighborhood where the finale of the
melancholy event transpired:
A young lady of one of the northern towns
of this county, while engaged in teaching
school, the past summer few miles from her
home, was singled out towards the close Of
her engagement, without any apparent induce
ment by the dog of one of her employers, as
| the peculiar object of his regard, which soon
unaccountably increased to such degree that
he could scarcely be beaten from her side, or
prevented from entering the school house, TO
which he daily repaired. AT the termiu-
alton of her school, which she left in failing
health, when about to start for her paternal
residence, the dog gave signs of his deternin-
alton to follow her, which perceiving, she
turned to the owner, and soon affected pur-
chase Of the animal, which now joyously at
tended her home. Her first words on enter
/ ing the house, were-'Mother, have come
home to die, and have brought friend here
to watch over my grave After making this
remarkable announcement, she Immediately
took to her bed, and sank rapidly in typhoid,
which, in about a week, terminated in her
death. During her whole sickness, the faith
ful, ard evidently sorrow stricken dog, never,
but for few minutes at time left the sick
room, constantly lying deiectedly near the
head of her bed, and seeming but too blest
when permitted to lick her fevered hand which
was occasionally extended for his tender ca
resses. As her final hour drew near, he be-
came Indifferent about food, and soon refused
it altogether. After her death, which he
seemed to comprehend, he continued to watch
by the corpse, only at one time leaving it, and
that was when the cofiin-case, which had ar
rived with the coffin, was carried and placed by
the side of the grave previously dug in an en-
closure near the house. He then, having
somehow been made aware of what was going
on, came out of the house, went to the case,
and, with his paws, on the side, looked in, and
seemed to examine it attentively. He next
jumped down into the grave, and appeared to
inspect that also with equal care and atten-
ton. He then came out and hurried back to
his post by the corpse, which he continued to
watch, till it was brought out for interment,
when he closely followed the coffin, and look-
ed sorrowfully on, as it was lowered to its final
resting place, and the grave filed up When
his human fellow mourners retired, however,
he remained behind, and, lying down at the
head of the grave, could not be induced to
leave the spot, refusing for the first few days,
all food, then for a week or two, sparing, re-
ceiving it when brought to him, and, at last,
going occasionally to the house for it, but only
to despatch in haste what was set before him,
and instantly returning to his sad and lonely
vigil, which night and day, he still continues to
keep up over the remains of his beloved mis-
tress Green Mountain Freeman.

Moonlight on the sandusky.
The moonlight glimmers the dark SanDusky,
Which, wounded serpent, drags along,
Laving the pallid Sycamores that throng
lis oozy shores, where Bull-rogs, hoarse & husky,
Charm the lull'd air, oppressed by odors musky.
Slow moving, like ancient Man-of-war,
The armed Turtle paddles through the stream;
And, ever and anon, is heard from far
The dismal owlers melancholy scream.
The Fire Fly lights his phosph'rc lamp; and gleam
The eyes OF Coons, intensely bright.
The hybrid bat floats by in noiseless fight
And throned in musty swaIs, of sickly mein,
Pale Ague, lean and lank sits monarch ofthe scene

Better Laugh than Cry.

So say we. There's no use in rubbing ones
eyes and blubbering over all ills that flesh i.
heir to- The best way is to stand up to the
rack, and take the good things and the evils
as they come along, without repining; always
cheering yourself with that philosophic ex
clamation, "better luck next time!"
Is dame fortune as shy as weasel! Tel
her togo to Jericho, and laugh in her face
The happest fellow we ever saw, worked
hard, and slept upon plank, and hadn't &
shilling in his pocket, nor even coat upon
his back.
Do you find disappoint lurking in many a
prize? Then throw it away, and laugh al
your own folly for so long pursuing it.
Does fame elude your grasp? Then laugh
at the fools that are so often her favorites
She is of no consequence, and never buttered
piece of bread or furnished a man suit OF
clothes
Is your heart broken by some maiden!-
Then thank you stars that you escaped with
your neck, and make the welkin ring with a
hearty laugh. 1t lessons the weight of one,
heart amazingly.
Take our advice under all circumstances
laugh dull care away Don't be in hurry
to get out ofthe world-it's very good world
considering the creatures that inhabit, and is
about as full of fun as it can be- You never
saw man cut his throat with broad grin OF
his face; it's grand preventive of suicide
There is philosophy and good sense, too, il
laughing-it shows clear conscience, and E
sincere gratitude for the things of life, and ele
Yates US above the brate creation. So here
goes for humor, and we put in for our share
while the ball is rolling.
