How Ben Purtle got a Wife-
The very climax of ugliness was Den
Purtle. lie was red-haired, and each
hair stood as if it cherished the most su
preme contempt for its next neighbor.
His nose supported at the bridge, a large !
lump, while the end turned viciously to
one side. His mouth had every shape
but a pretty one. Zl is f .rm was as un
couth as his face

some blooming wife such as can be
grown only upon a good old country
farm.
"How the dure;'' said I to lien one day,
"did you ever get such a wife, you un
couth, misshapen quintessence of mon
strosity ?"
Ben was not at all offended at the im
pertinence of my question; and forthwith
began to solve the question, thus :
" Well, now, gals what's sensible ain't
cotched by none of your purty hifalutin
airs. I've seed that tried mor'n once.
You know Katy was allers considerable
the puniest gal in these parts, and all the
young fellers in the neighborhood used
to try to catch her. Well, I used to jro
over to old Sammy's too, just to kinder
look on, you know, and cast sheep's ees
at Kate. But, Lord sakes ! I had no i

it almost killed me sure; I went home j
: ! wi!h something like a reck jostlin' in :.y j

the first plo-l l.e I found !"
"Did you hang yourseif ?" ;
"No, Daddy blazed out to me for not
taking old Bell to the pasture in the mer-;
ning, and scared me so bad that I fcr-
got it."
'Go on," said I, seeing Ben pause, j
with apparent regret that he had not ex
ecuted his vow.
"Well, soon, one Sunday morning I
reckon it was about a year after that
J i
hanging scrape, I got up and scraped my
face with daddy's old razor, and put on
my new copprus breeches and a new lin
sey coat inarm had di"? with sasafras
bark, and went ever to u:.Je Sammy's.

say, as I went along, 'Ben Turtle, this is
a great day for you,' and my heart
fluttered and jumped like a jay bird in a
trap. And when 1 got there and seed
Kate with her new homspun frock on, I
raily thought I should take the blind
staggers enyhow."
Ben paused again to brush the fog
from his eyes, and then confined :
" Well, I found the order of the day
was to go muscadine hunting. Joe
Sharp and his two sisters and Jim Bowls
was thar. I'd know'd a long time that

and a broadcloth ccat, but every body
knew he warn't worth a red cent. He
walked with Kate and you ought to have
seen the airs he put on. It was 'Miss
Kate' this, and 'Miss Kate' that, and ail
such nonsense. After a while we came
near a slough, whar 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, sympa
thising with the narrator.
"Stop, never mind," said Ben, giving
me a nudge. "Providence done that all
up brown. Nothing must do but Joe
must lead Kate across fust. He jump
ed on the log in high glee and took Kate's
hand, and oil" they put. Just as they got i
halfway across a tarnation bior En!lfrn-r

jumped off into the water. You know
how they holler. "Snakes !"' screamed
the blasted fool, and knocked Kate off up
to her waist in the tarnal nasty, black,
muddy water. And what d'ye think he
done ? Why, run backards and foreds,
hollerinfor a pole to help Miss Kate out
of the water ! Kate looked at me and
I couldn't stand it any longer. Curchunk
I lit ten feet frcra the lank at the first

"My dander was tip. I couldn't
stand it. I took hihy the seat of his
white breeches ajiyis coat collar, and
gin him a toss. 'JJ&y be he didn't go un

him out. Me and Kate started for the
house."
'When we started off Kate said,I3en

"Gepeat Jimmy! I feit so quar when
she tuk hold. I tried to say something
nice, but my mouth would not go off no
how. But I felt as strong as an elephant,
and helped along. Bimeby Kate said:
'Ben, that Joe Sharp's a good-for-nothing
sneakin', cowardly mbody; if he ever puts
his head inside of our house again, I will
souse him with dish-water sure.' "
"I tried to say something again; but
cuss the luck, I couldn't say nothing, but
squeezed her hand, and sighed like a
cranky beilus.
'We'd get clear out of sight of the
others, and Kate says
" 'Ben, I feel that you are my protec
tor, and I believe that daddy's right when
, , , ,
he says you are worth all the other boys
in the neighborhood

. Kate hung down her head, and said
nc.ilng, but I felt encouraged, for she
i
! kinder sighed.
'"Kate, if you are goin' to have me
say so, and if you don't want to say so,
j:st squeeze mvhand.'
"Well, she squeezed my hand right
oil Lordy how I did feel. I felt like a
stream of warm water or sasafras tea
sweetened with molasses was running
through my bones ! and I jist cotch her
in my arms, and kissed her rite in the
mouth, and she never tried the first time
itj jjei loose.
Ben was so overcome with the narra
tion of his courtship, that a pause for
breath was necessory
"How long after that," said I, "before
you were married ?"'
"Old Sammy was mighty proud and so
was the old woman about the thing, and
we married next fall after the muscadine
scrape."'
"Dm you th::.- v'.sr v.i 7 leves youyei'
I asked.
'Why. I.cnU. v! She thinks I am
the puniest a.-id best feller in the world.
I tell you. sir, its no use a talking; high
falutin airs and quality dressing and co
lone, and such things ain't a gwin down
with sensible gals, sure."
The .Mechanic.
A young man commenced visiting a
young woman, and appeared to be well
received. One evening he called at the
house when it was quite late, which led
the girl to enquire where he had been.
"I had to work late to-nht," he re
plied. "Do you work for a living ?''in-
fillired tin1 ri-tAnilied rrir! "Pnrti irU- '

This was the last time the mechanic
visited the young woman. He is now a
wealthy man and has one of the best of
women for a wife. The young weman
who disliked the name mechanic is now
the wife of a miserable tool a regular
vagrant about grog-shops and she, poor
and miserable girl, is obliged to take in
washing in order to support herself and j
Ciiin'rcn.
"i e who dislike the name of mechani
whose brothers do nothing but loaf and !
dress beware how you treat young
men who work for a living. Far better
disregard the will fed pauper, with all his
rings, jewelry, trazen-facedness, and
pomposity, and take to your affections
the callous handed, intelligent, industri
ous mechanic. Thousands have bitterly
regretted their folly, who have turned
their backs on industry. A few years of
bitter experience taught them a severe
lesson.
Why is a loafer in a printing office
like a shade tree ? Because we are glad
when he 'leaves.'

Farm and Garden.
Prepare for Planting Fruit Trees.
From causes we shall not now attempt
to explain, apples, peaches and pears are
not grown with that success which was
common in earlier times in this country.
This fact renders it necessary that a more
perfect preparation cf the soil before
planting be secured, and more thorough
cultivation be given the trees afterwards
It is now useless to think of receiving
profitable returns in fruits of these kinds
unless the trees are planted upon suitable
H VYO)ovv prepared. Preparing the
' 1 ' " - 1 1 3
soil for an orchard is not the work of a
day; if it is worth doing at all it is worth
doing well. This is true of all branches
of farming, but nnre especially true of
orcharding at the present day. There is
a wonderfully increasing demand for good
fruit; this arises from two causes: first,
from the increasing population and the fa
cilities for sending fruit to every city and
