MRS. FLINT'S MARRIED EX-
PERIENCE.
- (co -Nam uee .)
"Yes, her children praise her in the
gates, or they would hey if she'd had
any. I feel her loss. And. Scripter
says, 'It is 'not good for man to be
alone.' Scripter is right. Yoq aro a
woman that's seen affliction too, Miss
Geld ; you've passed under the tod.
Well, folks must be resigned ; profess-
ors like you and me have got to set ex-
ample. We can't fault the Lord when
He takes our companions away, and
say,. 'Why do ye so r as though 'twits a
man done it, We've got this treasure
in earthen vessels. Well, to come to
the pint, I come over to -day to see of
you wa'n't willin' to- consider the sub-
ject of uniting yourself to me in the
bonds of marriage."
"Oh.!" said the astonished widow.
"I ddn't want toAmAry, ye none," he
went ; "take time Ott. I should
like to get my answer right off, but I
can make allowance for bein' bnex-
pected.! I'll come agin next week—say
this day week. I hope you'll make it a
subjectof prayer, and I expect you'll
get light on your duty by that time.
I've got' a good house, and a good farm,
and I'll do well by ye. And. moreover
and besides, you know Mr. Pratt's folks
..are pressed some for room, I expect. I
yttess they won't stand in the way of
gour goin" to Bassett. Good-day—
good-dry"
And che Widow received a calm up-
and-dowa hand -shake, with which de-
corous caress the deacon—for we can
not call him the lover—departed, leav-
ing Mrs. Gold in a state of pleased
amazement, partly because she was a
woman. and a widow, partly because it
was Deacon Flint who had asked her to
marry him ; for the deacon was a pillar
in Bassett church, owned a large farm
and a goodly square house, and was a
power in the State, having: twice been
sent to the General Assembly. She
could not but be gratified by the pre-
ference, and as she pondered on the
matter it grew more feasible. Her girl
was her's na longer, but a Wife and
mother herself, and she who had been
all in all to Mindwell was now little
more than "grandma" in the house—a
sort of suffered and neceseary burdeta
on Samuel's hands'but here a home of
her own was offered her, a place of
dignity among other women—a place
where she could ask her children to
come to her, and give rather than
receive.
There is nothing so attractive to' a
woman who is no longer youug as the
idea of a home. The shadow of age
and its infirmities affrights her; loneli-
ness is a terror in the future, and the
prospect of drifting about here and
there, a. dependent, poor, proud, un-
welcome, when flesh and heart fail, and
the ability to labor is gone, makes any
permanent shelter a blessed prospect,
and draws many a woman into a far
more dreadful fate than the work -house
mercies or the colder charity of rela-
tives.
This terror was strong in Mrs. Gold's
feeble heart. She was one of the thou-
sands of women who can not trust
what they do not see, and she mis-
judged her daughter cruelly. Mind.;
well felt that to -day, as her mother
avowed to her Deacon Flint's offer and
her own perplexities. When Mrs.
Gold asserted that her daughter could
never--un.derstand what it was to lose a
husband; Mindwell felt a sure but un-
spoken conviction that the terror of
such a berea,venient, which confronted
her whenever her heart leaped up to
meet Samuel, was experience enough
for her to interpret thereby the longings
of a real. bereavement ; but she only
colored faintly, and answered:
"Well, rabther, I don't see my way
clear to offer you any advice. You
must use your own judgment. You
know Samuel and me think everything
of having you here, and the children
just begin to know grandma by heart.
But I don't want to be ' self-seeking; if
it's for your best good, why, we sha'n't
neither of us say a word. I don't
skerce know how to speak about it, it's
so strange like and sudden. I can't
Bay,no more than this: if you're going
to be happier and better off with Dea-
con Flint than with your cavilfolks,
we haven't no right to hinder you, and
we won't."
Mindwell turned away with trem-
bling ups, silent because. strong emo-
tion choked her. If she had fallen on
her mother's neck and wept, and begged
her to stay, with repeated kisses and
warm embrace, Mrs. Gold never would
have become Mrs. Flint; but she could
not appreciate Mindwell's feeling, she
took her conscientious self-control and
candor for indifference, and her elderly
lover loomed through this mist in
grander proportiots than ever ; she re-
solved then and there that it was her
duty to accept him.

Mindwell had gone down stairs to
find. her husband, who sat by the fire
fitting a rake -tail more firmly into a
hay rake. He had been caught in a
distant field by a heavy - shower, and
was steaming now close to the fire
place, where a heap of chips was lighted
to boil the kettle for tea, Mindwell
stole up to him and laid one hand on
his handsome head. He looked up as-
tonished at the slight caress, and saw
his wife's eyes were full at tears.
"What's the matter, darling ?" It
was like a kiss to her to have him say
darling, for sweet words were rare
among their class; and this was the
only one he ever used, kept sacredly,
too, for Mindwell.
"Oh, Sam," she answered, with a
quiver in. her delicate -Voice, "don't you
think, Deacon Flint wants to marry
mother."
"Thunder an' guns I you don't mean
it, wife? Haw ! haw ! haw ! It's as
good as a general trainin'. Of all
things 1 What does she say to't ?"
"Well, I'm most afraid she favors
him a little. He's given her a week's
time to consider of it ; but someway I
can't bear to have it thought of."
"Don't pester your head about it,
Miss Pratt. You can't make nor med-
dle in such things ; but I'm free to own
that I never was more beat in all my
days. Why, Amasy Flint is ,town -talk
for nearness an' meanness. He pre-
tends to 'be as pions as a basket of
chips, but I hain't ho vital faith in that
kind o' pious ; I b'lieve in my soul he's
a darned oil hypocrite.";
"Oh, Sam! Sam ydn hadn't ought
