sized the remark by a wise shake
of the forefinger, things have got
into a very bad way. The farm
is mortgaged to the last cent it is
worth, and I owe a heap of money
beside more by a long shot than
I know how to pay. What is to
be dom ?
I am sure I don't know, Peter,
replied his wife, but it seems too
awful bad to be turned out of
house and home at our time of life.
Xow, if our son John would only
marry Jonas Jirowu's daughter

be a perfect u'old mine to us. Of

That's a good idea, wife, and
Peter brightened up amazingly.
You always were a cute woman,
and the notion does you credit.
Ii.it do you think the young folks
woti'.d take to it ?
1 don't know, but it seems to me
that they've always taken a great
notion to each other ever since they
were children been more like
brother ami sister than anything
else.
ut suppose the IJrow n's would
object, as most likely they would?
You know we ain't on good terms
thick as the youg folks have been.
Til tell you what, Peter, is just
the tiling lor us 10 00 put up
John to elope with Sally.
Agreed. I'll leave it all to you
to manage.
Thus the matter was settled, and
the scheming couple went to bed
to dream of a speedy release from
their financial embarrassment-'.
Coincidences are sometimes of
the mo.-t curious character almost
surpassing belief in t oiue instances.
About the time of the above
conversation between Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, their neighbors, Jonas
Drown and wife, "held an import
ant conference.
)o you remember that ncte for
six hundred, dollars I gave for stock
last Spring? asked Jonas.
Yes, replied his wife.
Wei!, it's coming due in about a
month, and how under the sun
we're going to pay it I don't know.

We've done that till it can't be

Sallv wanting a piano. Where the
money is to come from is a mys

bankruptcy.

Smith gracious knows they're to
gether enough to take a notion
that way."
Yes, but I don't see how that
would help us any.
You don't, eh?" Well, I do. Ain't
his folks rich? and wouldn't they
bet him up handsomely? Then we

That's a good plan, was .Jonas'
conclusion, after profound medita
tion; but the difficulty , that the
Smiths are not on good terras with
us, and would be likely to oppose j
the match."
Then the best plan is to set the
young folks up to an elopement.
So it chanced that the lirowns
and the Smiths planned to dispose
of their children to their own pe
cuniary advantage. The next step

young ones to the proper shape.
John Smith wis a handsome,
brawny country fellow, with plen
ty of good sense, and an ocean of
love for Sally Brown. When his
parents proposed his marrying her,
he informed them that ho would
gladly do so, but he feared her
parents would object. Then his
hither slyly suggested an elope
ment, and o fie red to aid in carry
ing out such an exploit. John said
he would think about it.

brown hair had not a ripple out of
place, and her plump little figure
was ciu a-ed in a well-fitting dress,
which was neatness itself. When
her parents spoke to her about
John, she blushed becorninixly,and,
after close questioning, admitted
that she would be "tickled to
death" to marry him. She further
stated that they we:e running over
with love for each other; that the'
had long ago settled the question
of ultimate union, but that they
feared parental objection.
Xow, Til te 1 you what, Sally,

Yes, we would do anything to
make you happy, echoed the old

And if you were to hint to John
lnQ idea 01 an elopement, we
wouldn't lift our fingers to prevent
it.
Xo, repeated the old man,owc
wouldn't lift pur fingers to prevent
it.
In thus instructing their chil
dren, the Smiths and Drowns dis-
played very little knowledge ot
human nature. They should have
known that John and Sally would
upon the first occasion possible,
unbosom themselves; for how could
true lovers keep a r-ecret, and such

the next meeting each told the
other all he or she had been told,
by parental bps, but neither could
conceive the object of tiie old folks.
However, they were not over-disposed
to question the matter.
They were too glad that consum
mation so devoutly wished seemed
j so near at hand, to question how it
had been brought about. Con
scious that their progenitors were
up to some kind of trickery, they
resolved at once to avail them
selves of the opportunity to elope
before any change in the aspect of
affairs should occur. Having thus
concluded., they proceeded to lead
their parents astray.
I've been talking to John, said
Stilly demurely, to the old folks,
and we have concluded to elope
it is all settled, and we're ready
just as soon as it can be arranged.
I saw ra!!y last night, said. John
to his parents, and she agreed to
.elope with me; so I think the thing
had better ne hurried light along.
One week from this time all the
preliminaries had been arranged.
Sally had been supplicl with a
bran new dres and all the other
fixings, am John had been given
enough money to buy a suit of
wedding toggery. The respective
parents were laughing in their re
spective sleeves at their own cun
ning. The Ui'owus were overjoyed
at outwitting the Srniths,the Smiths
were happy at fooling the Crowns,
and both chuckled over a speedy
relief from financial embarrass
ment. The eventful night came, ami
John hitched up one of his father's
horses and drove over toward Sal
ly's domicil. When within a dozen
rods of the house he gave a signal
whistle, and Sally came out. len
der the peculiar circumstances they
feared no interference, and did not
deem it necessary to exercise any
grvat amount of caution. John
gave Sally a resounding kiss, help
ed her into the wagon, and away
they went.
Shortly after they departed, two
scenes transpired which must here
be recorded.
Jonas Brown returned from the
village store, and entered his house
in a state of great mental and bod
ily excitement. The latter was
caused by fast walking, and the
former by but the conversation
that ensued will best explain.
"They're gone!" exclaimed Mrs.
0-1
lrovn, exultingly, "and they'll bo
hitched in an hour or less." "
"The deuce they have! I hoped
to get here time enough to stop
'em. O 0 F
"To stop 'em?"
"Yes; that's what I said:"
"What for?"
"Just this: Old Smith hain't
worth a cent can't pay w hat-he-,
owes will behold out witlirPa

village." 0
"Goodness gracious!" gasped tho
old lady, "what shall we do?"
'TU tell you what I'll doally
shan't marry the beggar; I'll follow
them to Squire Jones', and get
there before the ceremony.''"
With this he hurriedly hitched
up a horse, and spuivjaway to
Squire Jones' house, about five
miles distant."
The other important scene men
tioned was at the Smith residence,
and was opetied by the precipitate
entrance of Airs. S., with the breath

"Has he gone?"
"Who?" inquired the husband.
"John."

Smith hurr-ied the old mare into
her harnes?, and rattled away to
ward Squire Jones' resilience.
John and Sally had proceeded!)
leisurely about five miles, the form

ing Sally on the seat with the other,
when the- heard the sound of
wheels a short distance in the rear.
They had just passed a long bend
in the road, and looking across,

frightened horse ran away with
the wreck of the vehicle.

We sometimes meet people who
seem to have no capacity for think
ing of, or taking an interest in any
thing outside of theirown person
al a Hairs. Such men grow narrow,
hard and selfish. Even from a
selfish point of view they make
a great mistake. Life to them is
meagre and barren. Tl.e'r resour
ces of hapjmiess grow smaller and
smaller. The opposite of this is
the habit which our religion com
mends and enjoins. AnO active,
scl-sacnficing interest in whatever
concerns the well-being of others
is the first among our Christian
obligations. This habit, like other
Christian duties, is to be cherished,
regulated and provided for as
airgssential element in our plan of
life.
