HUMOROUS. How Ben Purtle Got His Wife. A WESTERN STORY. The very climax of ugliness was Ben Purtle. He was red haired. and each hair stood as ifeIcerished the supremest contempt for its neighbor. His ice was freckled as the most bespotted turkey egg. His nose supported at the bridge a lump, while the end t urned vici ously to one side. His mouth had every shape but a pretty shap . His form was as uncouth as his face was ugly. The very elimax of upliness was Ben Puri,e. What was more, still. Ben had a hand sone, bouncing. looming wife such as can only be grown upon a country farm. "How the deuce," said I to Ben. one day, "'did you ever get sueh a wife, you uncouth, missharnL . quintessence of monstrosity. Ben was not at all offended by the impertinence of my question and forthwith began to solve the mystery thus : '"Well, now, gals what's sensi sible, ain't cotched by none of your purty and hifalutin airs. I've seen that tried more'n once. You know Kate was allers considered the purtiest gal in these parts. and all the young fellers in the naberhood used to try to cotch her.-Well, I used to go over to old Sammy's too, just to kinder look on, you know, and e sh1ip eves at Kate. But mc y as I had no more thought that I could get Kate than a Jerusalem cricket could hide in the hair that wasn't on oM Sammy's bald head --no sirea. But still, .I couldn't help going, and my heart would kinder flutter, and my eyes would burn all over, when I'd go to walk with Kate. And 'one day when Kate sorter made fun of me like. it almost killed me, sure.; I went home with something.like a rock jostling about in my breast, and declared I'd hang myself with the first plow line I found. "Did you hang yourself ?' No ; daddy blazed out to me f'or takin' old Ball to the paster in the morning, and scared me so that I forgot it." "Go on," said 1, seeing Ben pause with apparent regret that he had not executed his vow. "Well, soon on Sunday morning -I reckon it wals a year after that langing scrape-I got up and scraped my face with daddy's old razor, and put on my new copper as britches, and a new linsey coat mammv had dyed with sassafras bark, and went over to uncle Sam my's. Now, I'd got to loving Kate like all creation, but I never cheaped to any one about my feelings. But I knowed I was on the right side of the old folks." "Well, now, ain't it quecr.", con tinued Ben, "how a fellow will feel sometimes ? When I got there and seed Kate with her new homps pun frock on, I railly thought I'd -take the blind staggers, anyhow." Ben paused again to brush the fog from, his eyelids, and then con tinued : "WeIl,I found the order of the day was to go mustadine huntinhg. J-oe Shap and hi-s two sisters, and Jim Bowls was thar. I'd knowed a long time that Shap was rite after Kate, and I hated him worse than a hog hates to find a road out of a 'tater patch ; but I didn'it let on. Shap had on white britches and fine shoes and broadelot h overceoat, but everybody knowed he wasn't worth a red cent- Hie walked with Kate, and you ought to have seen~ the airs he put on. It was Gliss Kate this. and Miss Kate that,' and all suceh nnsece. After awhile we came near a slnvugh we had to cross on a log, and I'd a notion to pitch the sassy good for nothing into the water." "Why didn't you !" I asked. "Stop, never mind," said Ben, giving a nludge. "Providence done all that up brown. iNothing must do but Joe Shap must lead Miss Kate across fust. Hie jumped on the log in Ligh glee, ahd took Kate's hand, and they put off Just as they got half way acr-oss, a tarnation big bull frog jumped off into the water-you know how they holler-'Snakes !' screamed the foch and knocked Kate off to jump and had Kate out of thar in no time. And dy'e think the scamp didn't come up after we'd got out. and said Are you hurt, Miss Kate ?' " "My dander was up. I couldii't stand it-I catched him by the seat of his white britches and 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. Me and Kate put for the Iouse. When we started ot" Kate "Den, let me 1old to your arm, I kinder feel sortar weak." "Great Jiminy ! I felt so quar when she took hold. I tried to say something nice, but my (rot ted mouth wouldn't go olE no bo\w. But .1 felt as strong as an elephaint. and helped Kate along. By aiid hv. Kate said "Den, that Joe Shap's a good for nothin'.sneakin,' cowardlynobody;. if he ever puts his head inside of our house again, I'll souse him with the dish water, sure." "I tried to say something again, but hang the luck. I could, say no thin', but squeezed Kate's hand., and sighed like a cranky bellus. We'd got clean out of sight of the others. Kate says: "Ben I feel that you are my protector, and I believe daddy's right when he says you're worth all the rest of the boys in the na berihood. "Ben Purtle," savs,I, "this is a great day for you, and I made a tremendous effort to get my mouth off again and out it popped sure 'Kate," says I, tremrbling all over, "1 love you to distraction, andl no mistake. I've loved you long and hard. My heart's been almost broken for year's, and I want y.m to say right straight up and down, whether you're going to have me or not ?" Kate hung down her head and didn't say nothing but I felt encou raged, for she kinder sighed. Says I, "Kate, of 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. Lordy how I did feel. I felt like a stream of warm water. or sassafras tea, sweetened with molasses, was running through my bones !-and I just cotched her in my arms and kissed her andl she never tried the first time to get loose. *Ben was so 'overcome with this narration of courtship, that a pause for breath was-necessary. "How long after' that," said I, "before von were married." "Old Sammy was mighty proud, and so was the old1 'oman, about the thing, and we got married next fall after the muscadine scrape." "Do you think your wife .lovesh vou ?" I asked. "Why, lordy, yes. She t hinks i'm the purtiest and best feller in the world. I tell you, sir, it's no use talking ; hifatin airs, and quality dressing, and cologne, and such things, ain't gwine to go down with.sensible gals, sure." L~osr ED1Ton.-Our editor is lost !-he is gone-went off several days ago for JTefferson. We have consulted the Jimpieente and the Marshall papers (they ouight to know every thing') but not a word do we see about the whereabouts of our ediitor. We heard once that he went to marryx a couple somewvhere, and forgot his mar riage ceremony, and had started. in search of that; then we heard that he hiad g'ot drowned in Suh phur'. but uiponi reflect ion we knew that was not so, for Sulphur is3 as dry as a powder-horn. anid besides that, our editor is an immersionist and takes to water like a duck; and we know he could not drown. Now, if any of our con freers find him, please persuade him to come back home-for the devil is really turned loose in our office and we annot manage him; he needs the pious admonitions of our editor it acts like a charm, and1 makes a :ecent devil of him. If you do not see our editor, if you hear of him, please write him a letter, and tell him we are not all well, and we are pretty near out of wood and soap, and he must come home soon. 'Wondler if the Jimplecute has not our editor stowedl away in .IAVmo( IT OUT.-A gentleman, ridhg through the country a few days since, struck up with the fol lowing rich "case," and giving, as it does, a new phas' in that nature common to us all, we gladly give it a place.

NEWFOUNDLAND B3ABIEs.-The s1icy Ieart's Content correspon dent of the Boston Journal says What amuses one at irst in these houscs is the inevitabie bahv. or the twins in arms. There isV a by in every house, and cords of litile cliiHren everywhere.-But all the :ia!)ies are of the same age! To 1ie sure, as the yonug lady re marked, labies are always in sea son ;' but it didl seem strange that thea should all bc bcorn ainout the same time at IIcart's Content. The life of the fisherman may possibly account for' this "infant phenomuenon." At this season. for instance, all the boys, and near ly all the able-bodlied men, are at Lab)rador.'

Two full sessions of Lectures each year, commencing the first of October, and con, tinuing until April. The Disseeing Rooms are open, and private ;ectures and quizzes continue dnring the entire year. The tirst session continues until Christmas, or for three mo !hs, aud the second until the first of April, or three nionth,; the two constitu, ing one full course of lectures. Examintation of candidates for giaduation will occur at the end of each session. REQUISITES FOR GRADUATION.-The re, quisites for graduation are three sessions of lectures, ard three ye:rs study; or four ses sions, including two years spent at the Univti t1 y. TinE SYSTEM OF MEDICINE TAUGHT. The University is a liberal medical school, in which all branches of medicine and surgery are taught, including the preparatory studies, without regard to any sectarian views. Hence, while they deprecate the exclusive ness of Allopathy,Homeopathy, Eclecticism, Hydropathy, ete.,-they believe that all pi in ciples of cure and therapeutical agents should be taught in all well-regulated medical schools, and that every intelligent, honest, and thorough practitioner is entitled to all the courtesies and privileges of the profes sion, without regard to his pera iar notions in therapeutics. FEES .-The fees for a libranell.s,including all the tickets, matriculation, and dissection, are $60 a session, or $120 per year. Those who purchase tickets only have to matricu late once, which makes the second session $55, including demonstrator's fees, or $115 for a full course. To aid young men of moderate means, the University has issued five hundred sebolarships, which are sold to first-couie students, for $75. and to.sccond, course students and clergymen for 850, each constituting the holder a life member, with the perpetual privileges of the lectures, and all the teachings of the school. The o lv additional fees are a yearly dissecting and matriculating ticket, each oi wh:i is S!. THE ADVANTAGES OF SCHOLATSIs. The student hvlding a sencGarship can enter the Collg at any time during the year, attend as Iong as he chooses,an.l re enter the Institution as frequenrly as desired. It requires no previous reading or study to en;ter the Universi:y on scholarships, hence all private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholars.hips, can prosecute other business a part of the time. The 'candidate for graduation can present himself a: any time, and receive his degree as soon as qualified. In case a student should hold a scholars I ship and not be' able to attend lectures, it can be transferred to another, thus prevents ing any loss. Parents, guardians or filends of studentsI wish ing to purchsse scholarsbips for them, a year or more before their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half the'price, and paying the balance when the'student a.n1ers. -Physicians and benevolent -men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men, by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to obtain an honorable profession.
