MARRYING FOR ..UsEFULNEss.n

A WIDowER, something over fifty
years of age, three years after the loss
Of his wife, thought to assuage his griei
by taking to himself a new companion
a comely young woman of tWenty-four
But being a jealous member of a church,
he was anxious to secure the approval
of his brethren before taking the step.
For this purpose he called upon the sen
ior deacon, a man of experience and
la shrewd observer of mankind, to learn
his views of the matter.
Deacon" said he, l have come to
ask advice on a very important subject.
[ am contemplating marrying again
Do you think there would be anything
ont of the way in it2'
Why, it is not wrong to marry 3"
answered the good man, but it seems
to me that it would strike your acquain-
tances as rather hasty for you to enter
that state so soon after the loss of your
excellent wife.
"But," said the caller, " should do
it under 4 sense of duty"
THAT might alter the case, I admit,
replied the deacon; but what makes
you feel it your duty to get married ?"
q think l should be more useful
You see I have a paying business, and a
comfortable, we'll furnished house; and
therefore l can give some one a good
home, and it appears to me- ought to
do so.
May I inquire if you have any per-
son in view?"
Yes; Miss W"
But she has home now; has she
not?'
"Why, yes"
"And she is in easy circumstances ?"
"Yes-I suppose So"
"Well my brother" concluded the
deacon, with a merry twinkle of the eye,
so far as the marrying is concerned,
considering your motive 1 do not know
but it would be we'll for you to again
change your condition. The only fea-
ture Of the case that I can see to be
open to criticism, is the choice you have
made Of a bride. As you propose mar
rying simply to be useful by giving some
one a home, it would therefore be con-
sistent only for you to select one who
needs such a charity. Now, there is
Aunt L., for instance, a most
worthy woman, but poor and in6rm, and
not much older than yourself She needs
some one to take care of her aud her
dependent children. Make her the Of
fer of your hand, and, having thus done
your duty-as this is oil you aim At in !

GEORGIA SCENES.

OLD STANWIx tells the following
Georgia story, and vouches for its truth
fulness
About tbirty-three and a third years
ago, there dWeIt in one of the rural dis
tricts of Georgia an old eodger by the
name of Butt-Cutt Kaylor, who had for
merly enjoyed the honors and emolu-
ments pertaining to the Office Of Justice
-of the Peace, the duties of which Office
he discharged with acknowledged 'abili-
ty; and so far as his neighbors we're ca
pable of judging, be appeared to be a
very honest man. He had, however, ao-
quired the habit of " trumping up" &C
counts against the estates of those of his
neighbOrs who were so unfortunate as to
! shuttle off their mortal coils within the
bonds Of the bailiwick He had carried
the practice to such an extent as to
arouse a suspicion in the minds of some
Of his meddlesome neighbors that there
might be something dead somewhere in
the seat Of hIs-6Dancial operations
Bob CrOgan, who lived in the neighbor-
hood, and run the postOf6ce at the cross
roads, being something of a Wag, and
having an idea that the 'Squire's honesty
should be quoted below par, concluded,
with the cOnnivGnce and assistancd Of q
few comrades, to 'unearth the sly old
fox and expose his rascalities. Accor-
dinghy, Bob pretended to die, was regu.
larly shrouded and laid out on the cool
ing board in the most approved fashion
and sOrrOWing friends proceeded to
spread the news of his demise, which
soon reached the ears of old Butt Cutt
He lost no time in repairing to the house
of mourning, carrying with him a full
and complete assortment of frst-clsss
coincidence and sympathy, for gratuitous
distribution among the members Of the
bereaved family, and the many sOrrOWing
friends of the supposed deceased, Who
were present when he arrived. After he
had relieved his heart of its burden Of
healing words, and had succeeded in
toleradle effort at crying, and was about
to leave the scene, he tenderly spoke as
follows:
An, poor Bob; m sorry he died,
he was a good felIer, and 1 allus liked
him. When me and him went to the
races at Augusta-noW high onto two
years ago-I loaned him hundred dol
lars to bet onto bay mare, and he lost
and has never paid cent of that money
from that day to this. Poor feller, he
forgot it I reckon, but its a honest debt,
of course l can get it out of his estate,
and"
Butt-Cutt didn't finish the sentence,
for just at this point Bob, the corpse,
slowly raised up in his shroud, and
stretching out his arms toward the old
rogue, as if to clutch him, yelled:
You are an internal old liar, and
if"
The din and roar drowned the rest,
and old Butt Cutt didn't wait to see or
hear anything more, but with the hur
ried exclamation, 'gOddIemity,' he shot
through the door hurried to his home, |
packed his traps and not only left the
neighborhOod, but the State Of Georgia |
forever.

Puff. puff. puff, puff. puff. puff. puff puff,
Snuff, snuf, snuff, snuff, snuff, snuf, snuff,
They pufFed and snuffed for hours and hours,
TIL lost were puf and snufing powers.
He dropped his eyesbecause he could,
She threw up hers because she would.
Between the two twas nip and tuck.
And who would win would be mere luck.
She hove a sigh-he hove one too,
They both felt better when they got through.
"CUelr' she sobbed. with fainting snuff,
"Heartless - he gasped, with feeblePuf,
He stroked his knees she tapped her toes,
Then directly right up TO their feet they rose.
He sidled that way. she sidled this,
And when they got sided they swapped kiss
Sweet Nancyr' said he: said she. 50 Dear jim!
And he hugged her, and she hugged him.
4" How silly Of you ~ they both cried at a breath
And they hugged each other almost to death.
Then they went down for an oyster-stew-
and that's the way to win and to WOO.
