BEN HARDIN's WIFE.

Romance is sometimes embodied in fact
six inches long. Old Ben Hardin, of Ken
lucky got wife by rich and funny strate-
gem
In the days ofhis young manhood, he was
at work hard on the farm of a wealthy land
holder in that State. and there sprung up be-
tween the young laborer and the old man S
daughter WHAT is often called secret attach
ment. BY the BY attachments are generally
secret Ben and his dulcinia made up mat.
tiers in proper time. and without the knowl-
edge or consent of his intended father-inlaw.
Indeed the old man had never suspicioncd
that the aspirations of the youth were tend
ing towards an alliance with his family and
if it had ever occurred to him re would have
spurned the thought. Ben was aware of
bis aristocratic notions, and Of the existence
of almost unsurmountable objections to the
match So one day, consulting the ingenui-
ty of his nature, he devised ways and means
to bring it about. fe
Going to the old man, he told him that
unfortunately be had conceived liking for
the daughter of wealthy farmer in the neigh
borhood, that 1t was impossible 10 gain the
consent Of the girls father; that be loved her.
and she loved him and asked what course he
would advise him to pursue.
"Won't she run away with your" said the
old man.
"She might answered Ben'''if ! could
make the arrangements. Do you think il
would be honorable for me to take adyan-
tage in that way"
certainly" replied the originator Of the
plot. There would be nothing wrong"
Ben kept at him, and SO enlisted the old
gentleman that he made him tender Of his
horse and few dimes to carry out the elope'
mont The place Of meeting was arran ged,
and. reader. You know what followed. Ben
run off with the old mans daughter, fact
which the old fellow snutfed in the next morn
ing's breeze, and one which chagrincd him
not little. Winding up as novels do; Ben
and his wife were forgiven.

DUTIES TO rnE DEPARTED.

a false, sad notion has injured many, thai
VIC owe it to departed friends to die to those
who remain, to die to our race, to feed on
dark pictures of life, to reject the blessings
which our kind Father has strcwcd in ouI
path, because some have been taken from us
1t ought to be the influence of bereavement
of the Danished loved ones from our sight
to give us more revcrncd and quickeuing con-
ception Of the spiritual nature Of the undying
soul of that futurity through which our fac
ulties and affections are TO expand into divine
life and felicity; and under this hope VIC
should desire to enter nobler field Of action,
now the departed have gone to see, to love
and serve the infinite Father with new fer
vor and elevation of sprit--and we should
strive to sympathise with them by rarticpa-
ton in their progress We apt to feel as
ifnothing we could do on earth bears relation
to what the good are doing IN higher world
but it is not So Heaven and earth are not
so far apart Every dsinterested act every
sacrifice to duty, every exertion for lone Of
the least Of ChIist's brethren" every new in-
sight into Gods. every new impulse given to
the love Of truth and goodness, associates us
with tho departed, brings us nearer to them,
and is as truly heavenly as is we were not
acting upon the earth, but in heaven. These
are common truths, but we do not feel them.
The spiritual tie between us aud the depar
ted is not felt as 1t should be- Our union
with them daily grows stronger, it we daily
make progress in what they are growing in.

the honest mind that the services Of moro

A BEAUTIFUL SKETCH.


We are indebted to writer in the Cbica-
60 Journal for the following sketch Of do
nestle scene that cannot fail to touch chord
in every parents heart
Yesterday we saw wagon loaded with
wheat coming into towp--nothing strange in
that, certainly A man driving the team, and
woman perched on the load beside him and
child throned in the woman's lap--nothing
strange IN that either. And it required no
particular sbrewdness TO discover that the
woman was the property personal, of course
of the man, and that the black eyed, round
faced child was The property OF both OF them
So much we saw 80 much we suppose every
body saw, who looked II is fair Inference
that the wife came in to help her husband
trade out portion Of the proceeds Of the
wheat, the product Of so much labor, and so
many sunshines and rains. The pair was
somewhere this side fine point Of obser-
walton, isn't it ?-this side of forty, and it is
presumptive if blessed like their neighbors,
they left two or three at home "to keep
house" while they came to town. perhaps
two girls and boy, or, as it is immaterial to
us, two boys and one girl. Well, follow the
pair in and through until the wheat was sold.
the money paid, and then for the trade. The
baby was shifted from shoulder or sat down
upon the floor, to run into mischief, like a
sparkling globulc Of quicksilver on marble
table, while calicoes were priced, sugar and
tea tasted and plates ''rang." The good wife
looks askance at large mirror that would
be just the thing FOR the best room. and the
roll OF carpetfng, of most becoming pattern,
but it won't do, they must wait till next year.
Alb /! there is music in those next years, that
orchestras cannot make. And so they look,
and price, and purchase the summer supplies,
the husband the while cycling the roll Of bank
notes growing small by degrees aud beauti-
fully less Then comes an "aside" confer
ence, particularly confidential. She takes him
affectionately by the button and looks up in
his face--she has fine eyes, by the by--with
an expression eloquent of do now, it will
please them So" And what do you suppose
they talk about Toys for the children;
John wants a drum, and Jane doll and
Jenny book, all pictures, 'jist like Susan
So and so s." The father looks ''nonsonse,
and feels in his pocket for the required silver,
and the mother, having gained the point. has
tens away, baby and all to the toys Their.
acts the mother --she had half promised, net
all, that she would bring them something, and
she is happy all the way home not for the
bargains she made but for the pleasant sur
prise in those brown parcels. And you ought
to have been there when she got home, when
tho drum, and the doll, and the book were
produced--and thumped--wasn't it great
house! Happiness is so cheap, what won
der there is no more of it in the world
