"Tyner's run away with the
cook /"
That was al! there was about il
and they had to get their owl
breakfast and content themselves
with muddy coffee, half-cookec
potatoes and beans, and overdout
meat. Numerous and diverse
were the opinions expressed upor
the. interesting occasion. The
foreman, for instance, vowed, in
language as concise as it was ir-
reycrent, that they should both be
brought back. The tcalcr was
the fair dalnsels brother, aud, bc
ing most interested, said not a
word, but toyed thoughtfnlly viii,
his measure, aud walked away
iuto the { rest, with a hard blank
on his down-looking visage. Two
sawyers, who had each regarded
the recent new gowns and bright
coIors coquettishly displayed from
the kitchen window as intended
for their approval "nly, and had
hated each otller cordially in con
sequence, pitled "poor Tyner,'
and shook hands heartily. And
all except the brother laughed
and made idle jests over il, and
told stories it put them in mind
Of, for that day and q few days to
come, AM forget it.
Mr.. William Tyner and his
blushing bride had an original
Wedding tour. And Jolly" the
horse, instead of hauling water
for the cooking Of breakfast, and
making hi,nseli generally useful
about tile camp that certain win
ter morning, us n well-behaved
horse should, was lending aid and
countenancc to the runaways, and
hauling the cook away from the
raw visnds. The beast had been
dubbed "Joliy," it is supposed,
because he was as far from being
jolly as al aged beast with few
teeth and grea; many crooked
joints could well be /; aud the
countcnancc he loaned TO the pair
OH this occasion, and which got
over the deep-drittcd path, with
it's lnw.hanging boughs, with
mighty breathing and many an
awkward stumble, looked more
a,tcnuaied aud melancholy than
ever. What with the load upon
his back-which consisted of the
cook and the entire supply OF
worldly goods beIo' ging to her
and 10 her stecdlcss cavalier-and
The load upon his feet, for the
snow was wet and packed, it was
the work of an entire day.to ac-
complish tho journey to the ncx'
camp, a distance ofhalfa score OF
miles.
Just as the sun was touching
the tops of the tallest pines with
its last light, the ed-shhted JUS.
tice, living half mile from their
destination, was called npon to
make Miss Polly Ensign Mrs,
Polly Tynor -which he did in a
smutty kitchen, with half a dozen
young Justices rolling ON the
floor; and the jaded beast stumbled
on, not only with the old weight,
but with the added gravity Of the
new responsibilities the lady had
assumed. a.
in half an hour Mr.. Tyncr put
up his horsc-the strifing fact
that it had Not been his horse
twelve hours before did not ap
pear to affect the ownership now
and settled down in Ills new
quarters, whicii he had engaged
a week before, in bis old capacity;
aud Mrs. Polly relieved herself Of
divers sl,owy ribbons aud bits OF
jewelry, and settled down among
the pots and kettles, In her old
capacity-just rs they both might
have done in the old camp, had
they chosen and act about it in
a way calculated to defeat all the
opposition. But where are the
Lri ght spots IL our commonplace
world, il you smother every out
burst TO ronauce? All ordinary
marriage would have been insi i'd;
this was startling! Besides, they
would have been shed at.
There was chopp'ng TO do, and
cooking to do, and WiIlinm and
l'O''y were both bu-y. william
was not n great deal with Polly,
as q matter Of course; but when
he wac by her he thought that
handsome swamper might be
farther away; and he thought, too,
that Hopping pancakee and trying
pork did not call for 50 layish r
display OF gorgeous apparel. She
