IT OILY aE= THE 02EE DAY. Though swiftly Time, and rapid wings, Has borne s from old scenes we knew, - Yet memory oft the picture brings In glowing colors back to view; Thus early friends remember when They first as school-boys-met in play, And yet, though years have passed since then, It only seems "the other day." The form of her we loved of yore, To whom we pledged affection's vow, Will glide before our eyes once more, Though but in memory living now; Of that dark hair one tress alone A treasured gift-is spared decay, Yet words in that familiar tone Sjeem only breathed " the other day." Those friends appear no more the saMe That shared our mirth and dried our tears, Or taught us childhood's favorite game The dear old friends of early years; But when we ask if they forget Those memories of the past, they say "Tho' time has wrouaht some changes, yet It only seems " the other day." HOW BEN PIRTLE GOT HIS WIFE. The very climax of ugliness was Ben Purtle. He was red haired, and each stood as if it cherished the supreme.it contempt for its next neighbor. His face was freckled as the most bespotted turkey eg. His nose supported at the bridge a large lui;, while the end turned viciously to one side. 114i mouth had every shape but a pretty shape. His form was as uncouth as his facie was ugly. The very climax of ugliness was little Ben Purtle-what was more still,Ben had a handsome,bouncing, bloom ing wife-such as can only be grown upon a country lawn. " Huw the deuce," said I to Ben one (lay, "did you ever get such a wife, you uncouth, mishappen, quintessence of monstrosity ?" Ben was not at all offended by the inperti nence of my question, and forthwith began to solve the mystery thus: "Well, now, gals what's sensible aint touched by none of your purty, and hifalutin airs. I've seed that tried mor'n once. You know Kate was allers considered the purtiest girl in these parts, and all the young fellers in the naborhood use to try to cotch her. Well, I used to go over to old Sammy's too, just to kinder look on, you know, and cast a sheep's eye at Kate. But marsv sakes! I had no more thought that I could get Kate than a Jerusalem cricket could hide in the hair that waqn't on old Sammy's head-no siree. But atill I couldn't help going, an' my heart would kinder fButter, and my eyes would burn all over, whenever I'd go to talk with Katy. And one day when Kate sorter made fun'of me like, it almost killed me sure; I went home with something like a roek jostling about in my breast, and declared I'd hang my self with the first plow line I found." " Did you hang yourself?" " No; daddy blazed out to me for rot taking old B.dll to the pasture in the morning, and scared me so that I forgot it." " Go on," said I, seeing Ben pause with ap parent regret that he had not executed his vow. " Well, so one M mnday morning-(I reckon it was a year after that hanging scrape)-- got - up and scraped my face with daddy's old razor ; and put on my new copprus britches, and a new lihsy coat mammy had dyed with sassafras bark, and went over to Uncle Sammy's. Now, i'd got to loving Kate like all creation, but I never cheeped to anybody about my feelings. But I knowed I was on the right side of the old folks. " Well, now, ain't it queer," continued Ben; "How a feller will feel sometimes)? Something seemed to say asJ went along,." Ben Purtle, this is a great day for you," and then ikny heart jumped and fluttered like a jay bird in a trap. And when I got there and seed Kate with her new checked homespun frock on, I raily thought I should take the blind staggers, anyhow." Ben paused again to brush the fog fromt his eyes, and then continued : " Well, I found the order of the day, was to go muscandine hunting. Jo Sharp and his two sisters, and Jim Bowels was thar. U'd knowed a long time that Sharp was right after Kate, and I hated him worse than a hog hates to find his way out of a tatter patch ; but I didn't let on. Sharp had on white britches and fine shoes, and broadcloth overcoat, but every body knowed he wasn't worth a red cent. He walked with Kate and you ought to have seen the airs he put on. it was "3Miss Kate" this, and " Miss Kate" that, and all such nonsense. After a while we come near a slough whar we had to cross on a log, and IPd a notion to push the sassy good for-nothing feller into the water." " Why didn't you ?" "rStop, never mind," said Ben, giving me a nudge, "Providence dlone all up brown. Noth ing must do but Joe Sharp must lead Mliss Kate across fust. He jumiped on the log in high glee and took Kate's h.ind, and they put off. Just as they had got half way across, a tarnation big bull frog jumped off' into the water-you know how they holler-" Snakes !" screamed the fool, and knocked Kate off up to her waist in the nasty, black, muddy water. And what d'ye think he done ? Why ho run backwards and foreds, a hollerin' for a pole to help Kate out of the water. Kate looked at me, and I couldn't stand it no longer. Cur chuck I lit ten feet from the bank at the first jump, and had Kate *out of there in no time. And d'ye think the scamp didn't come up after we'd got out, and said: "Ar you hurt, Miiss Kate ?" "Mby dander was up. I couldn't stand it ; I cotched him by the seat of his white britches and his coat collar, and gin him a toss. Miaybe he didn't go clear under when he hit the water. I didn't see him out. 3fe and Kate put for the house. When we ,started off, Kate said: "Ben, just et me hold on to your arm, I kinder feel sorter weak." Great Jiminy! I felt so quar when she took hold. I tried to say something nice, but my drotted mouth would not go off, no how. But I felt as strong as an elephant, and helped Kate along. ~Bimeb Kate siaid: "Ben, that JeSharp's a good for nothing, sneaking, cowardly nobody ; ef he ever puts his head inside of our house again, Il souse him with dish-water, sure." I tried to say something again, but hang the luck, I couldn't say nothing, but squeezed Kate's hand, ansi sighed like a cranky bellus. When we'd got clean out of sight of the others, Kate says: "Ben, [ feel that you are my protector, and believe daddy's right when he says you're worth all the rest of the boys in the naborhood." Ben Purtle, says 1, this is a great day for you, and I made a tremendous effort to get my mouth off again, and out it popped, sure enough. "Kate," said I, trembling all over, "I love you to destruction, and no mistake. I've loved you long and hard. Miy heart's been almost broken for years ; and I want you to nay right straight up and down, whether you're a-going to have me or not 7" Kate hung down her head and didn't say nothing, but I felt encouraged, for she kinder sighed. Says I, "Kate ef you're a gwine to have me, say so, and ef you don't want to say so, .just squeeze my hand." Well she squeezed my hand right off; ILorry how I did feel. I felt like asa stream of warm water or sasafras tea, sweetened with molasses, was running through my bones ! and I just cotehed her in my arms and kissed her, and she ,never tried the first time to get loose. Ben was so overcome with this narration of courtship, that a pause for breath was neesar. " How long after that," said I, " before you were married?" ."Old Sammy was mighty proud, and so was thild 'oman, about the thing, and we married nex fall after the muscandiue scrape." "ID you think ydur wife loves you pe" I asked. " Why, Lordy, yes. She thinks Pm the pur tiest and best feller in the world. I tell you, sir, it's no use talking; highfalutin airs, and qualitr dressing, and cologne, and such things, ain t gwine to go down with sensible gals, sure." A COOL APOLOGY. They had a ball down at Waverly, the other night, which brought out some remarkable ex perience. Among other events, the following instance Of a cool apology took place: Bill P. is known all over, and Bill was at this ball in all his glory. All of his necessaries for pleasure on hand-good music, pretty girls and excellect whiskey. The evening passed off rapidly, as it always does, and Bill had at about one o'clock become pretty happy. Stepping up to a young lady, he requested the pleasure of dancing with her. She replied she was engaged. " Well," said Bill are you engaged for the next set ?" She said she was. "Can I dance with you the next then?" "I am engaged for that also." "Can I dance with you to-night ?" "No, sir," with some hesitancy. " Go to Baston," said Bill, highly indignant, and turned on his heel. After a few moments, Bill is accosted by the brother of the young lady, and 2harged with insulting his sister. Bill denies but professes himself willing to apologise, if he has done wrong, and accordly steps up to the lady, when the following conversation ensued: "Miss L., I understand I have insulted you 7" " You have, sir !" "What did I say, L " s " You told me to go to Boston." " Well," said Bill, "I have come to tell you that you needn't go !" I; A BAD Box.-A man pretty comfertably drunk was holding on to a post at 'Burlington Slip, when a friend inquired what was the mat. ter. " Matter," said the fellow, " I'm in a quan. dary ?" " What do you mean by a quandary ?" said his friend. " W hy, if I hold on here I shall freeze to death, and if I let go I shall fall into the dock." THE EXCHANGE, (NEXT DOOR TO B. C.
