Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1873-10-23

Don't be afraid of a little fun in
the family. A merry disposition is a
godsend to home. There's the case
of a man on Nelson street, for instance.
Saturday he went into the kitchen
ahead of his wife, and seeing two
huckleberry pies steaming on the ia
Bile he hastily concealed them in the
ice-chest, which stood open in the
back hall. Then he went down town
chucklng to himself and ten minutes
later the ice cart drove up and the ice
man brought in fifty pound cake, and
started for the ice echest, followed
closely by the fond wife expatiating
upon the "muss." He put the cake
upon the edge of the chest, and gave
it push over, and when it came down
on those two steaming pies, buckle
berry geyser followed, and the ice
man with eyes and face full of dis
charge, tumbled completely over the
woman, and disappeared out of the
door. The wife recovered her balance
as speedily as possible, and catching
up broom went after the ice-man,
but he escaped her; then she came
back and looked in the ice chest, and
and down at the oilcloth, and up at
the ceiling, and around on the walls.
The men at the store who were let
into the joke by the Factions Nelson
street man, are anxiously wondering
how it turned out-Danb'uy Ne'cs.

Or for any favorable account from him
further. They were willing to believe
him dead, or worthless. A runaway,
they thought, had but few chances
left for him.
But he disappointed the jealous-eyed
ones bitterly. He had now come
back an active and influential man. al
ready in the possession of considerable
money, and on the high road to an
almost limitless fortune. He had EN-
barked in business with another gen.
tleman in the metropolis, and they
were successful beyond even their
most sanguine hopes.
And many and many a pleasant
time had the two lovers meeting
again, down the road by the old beech
tree.
They sat beneath its shade upon its
twisted roots, and talked in tender
voices Of the times that were gone by,
OF their separate experiences, hopes
and fears, and the future, now opening
so brightly upon them. What dreamy
hours those were to them !!
A bright and golden morning in
October had come. The sun had a
genial warmth, just tapping up the
heavy dews, and rolling the white and
vapory mists up the hill sides.
The clergyman was there, likewise.
There were happy smiles on all faces,
and merry hearts even among those
who had full reason to sorrow.
William led Ruth into the room,
and both stood before the clergyman
In a few moments he pronounced them
man and wife. Ruth's hope had not
finally failed her.
They received the congratulations
of their friends, and left for the city
again at once.
The change in the feelings of Ruth's
parents was quite as sudden as it was
complete. Their preiudices were all
routed.
They reached town safely. Will
lam Britton. on an early evening
thereafter, introduced his partner to
his bride, hitherto keeping it entirely
secret whence he had brought her,
or who she was.
His partner was the gentleman who
had, only the same summer, offered
himself to Ruth for a husband.
The surprise was great, and per
haps the chagrin was greater I; so he
resolved to make his own joy the
greatest and most unaffected of all.
Ruth was lost to him. He had but
single step left him, and that was,
to marry Mary, the sister Of Ruth.
This step was taken at the earliest
day practicable. No one could be
more surprised and gratifed than the
parents at hearing of the relation borne
by the stranger to William, now the
husband of Ruth; yet stranger things,
as well as more joyful, have often
happened.
