An ElOpement Frustrated.

An infallible indication Of the warm
season is the number Of elopementS
which are chronicled in the local
columns of the domestic exchanges. One
of the most touching idyls of the season
is told in impid prose by the Dayton
(Ohio) Democrat. lie was poor: she
was young; her parents were sensible.
He was forbidden to enter the house and
she to leave it. Her chamber was in the
second story and underneath the win
dow was q grape-arbor or rack. At the
hour appointed for loves adventure he
made the preconcerted signal from shady
corner Of the street and she answered it.
She had change of clothing slowed
away in avalise which she had borrowed
from her brother without his knowledge.
She opened the window and lowered the
valiSe to the. ground. Then crawling
out Of the window and straddling one
of the raftcrS of the grape-rack, she crept
down to the post and thence, as it were,
Skinned it to the ground. Everything
looked auspicious, and they were in great
glee, when to her horror she happened
to observe that she had on pair of old
rubbers instead of her shoes, which she
had taken off in her room, and had for
gotten to throw out upon the grass.
This was q sad state ofaffairs, as it would
not look well for Il young lady TO go
travelling among strangers with pair Of
rubbers, and nothing else in the form of
shoe leather; and besides, rs it was
damp and cold, her health would be en-
dangered. Just what to do greatly dis
tressed their ardent young hearts. A
proposition that he should climb up to
the room and get the shoes was not
favorably entertained by the dashing
young man; but while they were dis
cussins it their pretty little scheme sud-
denly collapsed. The big brother turned
up Unexpectedly at the front gate. The
girl sat down on the the and burst
over the fence with uncommon agility.
There was domestic tableau in the
parlor and the young lady was sent to
bed

Aneedote of Oueen Victoria.

The queen was not twenty years OF age
when she assembled the throne. Coming
into possession of power with n heart
fresh, tender and pure. and with all her
instincts inclined to mercy, we may be
sure that she found many things that
tried her strength OF resolution to the ut
most. On bright, beautiful morning
the young queen was waited upon ut her
palace, ut Windsor. by the Duke OF
Wellington, who had brought from
London various papers requiring her
signature to make them operative. One
of them was sentence of court martial
pronounced against q soldier OF the line
that sentence that he be shot dead:
The queen looked upon the paper and
then looked upon the wondrous beauties
that nature had spread to her view.
"What has this man done?' she asked.
The duke looked ut the paper and re-
piled: "Ah, my royal mistress, that
man, I fear, is incorrigible; he has de-
serted three times" And can you not
say anything in his behalf, my lord?,"
Wellington shook his head. "Oh! think
again, / pray you Seeing that her
majesty was so deeply moved, and feel
Ing sure she would not have the man
shot in any event, he finally confessed
that the min was brave and gallant and
really good soldier. But" lie added:

charge you, your grace. to let me know
the result. A good soldier, you said.
Oh, l thank you for that! And YOU may
tell him that your good word saved
him." Then she took the paper and
wrote with q bold. firm hand across the
dark page the bright, saving word
Pardoncd" The duke was fond OF
telling the story; and he. was willing
also to confess that the giving of that
paper TO the pardoncd soldier gave him
far more JOY than he could have expert,

What Came Of Planting Trees.

About twelve years ago gentleman
engaged in business in New York city
purchased farm in the interior Of that
State, and set about improving it in az
cordance with his own tastes and no.
tions. The farmers about him at first
laughed in their sleeves at his attempts
ut "book farming" and predicted GER
tain failure as the result of his expert
ments. Being an admircr Of the beauti-
full. his first move was to surround his
place with shade trees. and to give orders
for their careful attention and culture,
He next employed the columns Of local
paper to prove to his ncighbors the ad-
vantages of trees, not only for shade and
shelter but also aS Il means Of protection
against storms. A circular was printed
and distributed, setting forth the matter
more fully. and giving directions rs to
what varieties to plant, and how to care
for them after being set. Meetings were
called and the matter discussed, until at
length the neigliborhood caught the
spirit of progress. and tree planting
mania set in. The highways were
adorned for miles, and yards heretofore
bare of shade were now adorned with n
bountiful supply. The good influence of
that mans example spread until the
leading roads in the whole town were
coverted into avenues of shade, and the
unattractive village transformed mt
length into one of the most lovely towns
in Central New York. A short time
since the place was visited gentleman
from the city-a son of the party who
first led the way in tree planting-and it
was with difficulty that he recognized
the spot. The old farm and the neigh
bors' farms and the village streets were
adorned with graceful elms and naples
from twenty to thirty feet in height.
Strangers had heard of the place, and,
attracted by its beauty. had chosen it
for their home, and fine residences now
graced the shady avenues. The old
farm, which his father had purchased
for $1,000. has been since resold for
$50. 900, and like advance in property
has taken place throughout the town.
The gentleman "builded better than he
knew" We doubt not whether, with
all his far-sightcdness, he ever cX-
pected such results us have followed
from his efforts. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

4 Sons Ingratitude.

In the Essex Market police court, in
New York, William Flannelly, 81 years
of age, bent and intirm, accused his son
of defrauding him out Of his home and
then turning him out in the middle Of
the night at the end of a pistol TO die in
the streets.
"What is the trouble between YOU
and Your son" said Justice Murray.

asked Justice Murray.
The Old man turned round, but before
he could reply Court Roundsman Reilly
said: Il have known him for many
years: The old man has always been re-
gardcd as n kind, sober man.
William Flannelly admitted that he
held full possession Of his fathers
property, and that the old man had on
several occasions left the house after
midnight and remained out until morn
SAnd you did not go to see what be-
came of him?n asked Justice Murray.
No, answered the son, with smile.
What did you do on those nights?"
asked Justice Murray of the old man.
The policeman on post will tell you,
your honor. l didn't want to bring dis
grace on my own house, SO l walked,
and walked the streets the whole night

Young Flannelly was required to give
$1,000 bail for good behavior, or 60 to
the penitentiary for six months.

A REAL SURPRIsE.-One of those pleas
ant episodes in a faithful minister's life, oc-
Cured to Rev. Joseph Emery and family,
last Friday evening. On that evening some
twenty persons, who reside across the river,
in 1 inn county, made an unaannounced
visit to the residence of Mr.. Emery, (who
was not at home at the time), bringing with
them a most generous free-will offering in
the way of hams, -four, potatoes, butter,
canned fruits, ETC., and money to pay fer
riage for year. The ladies also brought
Their baskets full of cooked provisions, and
spreal bounteous repast, of which all par
took heartily. A messenger was di spatched
for Prof. Emery, and the evening was spent
in singing and pleasant conversation. Be-
fore parting, the blessing of God was invok-
el upon the kin donors. About III o'clock
P. NJ, the cheerful party took their leave.
accompanied by the heartiest wishes of the
minister and his wife for their future happi-
ness and comfort, both in the life which now
is and that which is to come. Prof. Emery
has been preaching to these people once a
month for the past four years, and the above
is bk a token of the appreciation of his
services Almost every family in the entire
nei 5hborhood contributed something.
