MRS. FLINT'S MARRIED EX -
PER HINOE.
(canal/mare)
Such a relation is not a movable feast
to her ; it is once for all; and if the
circumstances or pique betray her into
this faithlessness, what does she think
of herself when it becomes inevitable ? -
The widow Gold did not tell. She
was paler when she turned from the
glass than when she looked. into it, and
she trembled when she went down stairs
to sign the papers before Parson Roberts
should arrive,
The beat parlor was opened to -day.
The high-backed chairs with old bro-
cade cushions that had belonged to Sam.
Pratt's grandmother were ranged along
the wall like a row of stiff ghosts; the
corner cupboards were set open to dis-
play the old china and glass that filled
thein;• there was a "bow -pot" of great
red peonies, abundant and riotous with
color and fatness, set under the chim-
ney in the well- whited fire place ; and
a few late'roses glowed in a blue china
•jar on the high mautel piece. On a
square table with a leaf lay a legal pa-
per, that Sam was reading, with his
hands supporting his head; as if it was
hard to understand the document.
The deacon, in his Sunday garments,
was looking at him askance ; and Mind -
well, with the • little girls, Ede and
clingiug to her gown, was star -
ng out of the window, dowiathe road—
staring but not seeing, for the *splendid
summer day that lavished its bloom
and verdure and odor on these gaunt
New England Mils, and hid their
rude poverty with its royal mantle,
was all a dim blur to the head -wrung
woman.
"Mother," said Sam Pratt, raising his
head, "do you know what's the sum
and substance of these here papers ; and.
do you agree to't r' -
The widow glanced aside- at Deacon
Flint, and caught his "married eye,"
early as it was to use that ocular
weapon.
"Why, yes, Samwell. I don't know
but what I do," she said, slowly and
rather timidly.
"Well," said Sam, rising and pushing
the paper away, "if you do, why then
you're pin' right into% and it's right,
I s'pose ; but, by Jiuks : I think it's the
d--"
Mindwell's touch_ on his arm arrested.
the sentence. •
"There's Parson. Roberts, Samwell ;
you jest help him out of the gig, will
you ? He's quite lame, I see."
Sam. Pratt 'went, with the half -finish-
ed sentence on his lips. He was glad
his wife had stopped him, on many ac-
counts, but he did long to give Deacon
Flint his own opinion of that prelimin-
ary contract.
He inddlged himself for this depriva-
tion after the stiff and somewhat mel-
ancholy wedding was over, and the
staid couple had departed for Bassett in
the Deacon's wagon, by freeing his mind
to his wife.
"Miss Pratt, I was some riled to hev
. you stop me when I was a-goin' to tell
the Deacon what I thought about that
there contrack ; but I don't never stay
riled with you, mares, as yoe'd ought to
know by this time;" and Sam empha-
sized this statement with a hearty kiss.
"Besides, I will own on second thoughts
I was glad you did stop me, for it's no
use pinclain' your fingers in a pair o'
nippers; but I do say, now and here, it
was the darndest piece o' swindlin' I
ever see, done under cover of law an'
gospel., you may say, for the deacon had
stack in a bit of Scripter so's to salt it
like. He's got the best of the bargain,
_ I tell ye, a long sight. I'm real glad
your father went and fixed that prop'ty
so she has the use on't only, for she
wouldn't have two cents in two years'
time, if she'd had it to do with what she's
a mind to."
"I'm glad he did," said Mindwell. "I
have felt as though mother would be
better suited if she did have it to do
what she liked to ssith ; but if this was
to happen., why, it's as good she is pro-
vided for ; she can't want for nothing
now."
"I guess she'll want for more'n mon-
ey, and mabbe for that too. The paper
says she's to have her livin.' ; now that's
a wide word ; folks can live on bread
and water, I expect, and. he can't be
holden for no more than he's a mind to
give."
"Oh, Sam, you don't think Deacon
Flint would grudge her a good living ?
Why, if he is near, as folks tell he is,
he's a professor of religion."
"I'd aalurned sight rather he was a
practicer . on't, Miss Pratt, Religion's
about the best thing there is, and mak-
in' believe it is about the vsust. I
b'lieve in Anaasy Flint's'religion jest so
farforth as I hear him talk, an' not an
inch further. I know he'll piuch an'
shave an' spare to the outside of a
cheese rind ; and I haven't nogreat rea-
son to think he'll do better by Mother
Gad than he does by himself."
Mindwell turned away, full of fore-
boding, and. Sam, following her, put his
arm about her and drew her back to
the settle.
"Don't worry, dear; she's made her
bed, and she's got to lie on't; but after
all it's the Lord who lets folks do that
way, so's to show 'em, I expect, that
beds ain't always meant to sleep on,
but, sometimes to wake folks tip. We're
kind of apt to lie long an' get lazy on
feathers. I expect that's what's the
matter with me. get my husks by-
and-by, I gaess."
Mindwell looked up at him with all
her heart in her eyes, bat she said
nothing, and he gave a shy laugh ;
their deep love for each other was "a
fountain shut up," and so far no angel
had rolled away the atone and given it
visible life; it was still voiceless and
sleeping.
Before her wedding day was over
Mrs. Flint's new life began, for Polly
Morse had been sent off e night be-
fore, being the en 4 of an even week,
lest she might charge ninepence for an
extra day; so her successor without
wages had to lay aside her plum -color-
ed silk, put on a calimanco petticoat
• and short gown, and proceed to get
supper, while Polly, leaning over the
half -door of the old red house which
she shared with the village tailoress,
exchanged pungeat re/masks with old
Israel on the topic of the day in Bas-
sett.
"No, they didn't make no weddies
heel ; there sva'a't nobody asked, nor
no loaf cake made for her ; he wouldn't
hear to't, noway. I'd have - staid and,
fixed up for her to -day, but he was
bound I shouldt. As for me, I'm most
areazin' glad to get hum, now I tell ye.
I'd a sight railer be in Sinsbnry prison
for a spell, if it wa'nt for the name
on't."

"Say, Polly, do you call to min

"Amen ! They'd be all fools,

man with a dry chuckle, as he dro

and sniffs, neither Polly- nor the new
Mrs. Flint had a truer friend than
Israel ; rough as he was, satiric s a
chestnut burr that shows all its pribkles
in open defiance, conscious of a sweet
white heart within, his words only Were
bitter, his nature was generous, kindly,
and perceptive ; he had become the per-
ipatetic satirist and philosopher that he
was out of this very nature.
Dowered with a scorn of scorn, a love of loy
and free with the freedom of indepe -
dent poverty to express pungently what
he felt poignantly, being in his own
kind and measure the "salt of tie
earth" to Bassett.
But in spite of comment and pity, t
thing was a fixed. fact. Mrs. Fbnt
married life had begun. under new ; al
spices, and it was not a path of tos
upon which she had entered. II
ousekeeping- had always been frog
ith the thrift_that is or was charaete
•tic of her race ; but it had been abUn
nt for the wants of her family. T
iands she provided were those of i t
lace and period, simple and primSi

ell filled with light bread of whe
nd rye both ; pies of whatever in
rial was in season, whose flaky chrl
nd well-filled interiors testified to h
owledge of the art; deep dishes,

It was a part of her "pride of life

Yet in his own way the deacon wa
edy enough. He had the insatia
appetite that belongs to.. people of
figure far more often than. to the
ut.
`He's a, real racer," said Uncle Is
1, reverting to his own experience in

rs. Flint was not "hungry or
kering," as she expressed it, but a,
sonabie eater of plain food ; b t
deacon's mode of procedure w 8

Obeying instructions, the small piebe

he ta,ble, transferred bodily to the
con's plate. "Seems as 'though my

as a hungry headache." And the

here were no amusements for hr
of the house. The younger peop e
