THE FATAL SLEIGH-RIDE AND
ITS RESULTS.
In the snug little town of C , lived
a farmer somewhat advanced in years, - who
had an only daughter, whom he thought a
little the prettiest gal that lived in the coun
try. Now Hulda could have a new " calico"
when she wanted it; but there was eorae
ihjng else "in her mind's eye," far more nee
dy than dresses, and that was to be joined
in the connubial state. The father, or "un
cle Jim," as he was familiarly called, if any
thing he detested.it was getting married.
I have been once, be would say, when en-o-adeu4
in strong controversy with his daugh
ter anv3 have seen the folly of it. No 1 I
say a ai.'i and once for all, that you shall not !
And he wvtfld bring his hand heavily upon
the table wt.i-h shook and almost collapsed.
No wonder jfbor uncle Jim had seen the "fol
ly of being marnW," as he expressed it, foj
he had a spouse that continually henpecked
and harrassed him aJost to death. Now
HuldS loved a smart you'n man by the name
of JcrLiiah Sampson, ano: he 'loved her, in
somudh that he swowed that he wouidlnarry
i :t. that was
lio ih.cf inn fnr II thft- Cliance Il COUiui -I
tr court her.' was on the Sabbath conying i
from church. , -,
Hulda was silting plying her needi?; cne
cold winter night, with her father in the
back kitchen, when suddenly the door open
ed, and a note was thrust hastily in. She
ranaad picked it up, and alter brushing the
snow off she sat down to peruse its contcuts.
" What do you think it is, father ! i" said
she, after having fully digested it. and care
fully placing it in her bosom. 'Only think.
James Drown and Matilda Draper, and
and a whole lot of the boys are a going to
have a sleigh-ride, and and want me wsto
go; let me see, there is Matilda she will
wear her now bombazine, that her feller I
mean Thomas Smith bought hef at the vil
lage last week, arid ii I I go, X diall have
towear that old . faded cashinefe- Oh,
dear!" and here Hulda burst into a 'par
oxism ol tears.
" Mv daughter," cried urrcle Jim as Iw be
held wr sobbing, as if her heart r.-ould bcak,
"you must not think of going, for you canH
go, and there is an end otih&t. It's nothing
more than a contrivance arranged to have
yoib and that Jeremiah Sampson together.
I understand it; you can't deceive me. -Now
go to bed, and be a good girl."
Now if uncle Jim should give his own pri
vate opinion in relation to Jeremiah Samp
son, he would call him an honest, upright
and good-hearted man. But the real anti
pathy was, the union, with his daughter, or,
in other words, marrying; not that he did
wish Huida should not be married, but he was
afraid of something fhat he did not himself
know.
Hulda with big tears on her damask
cheek," reluctantly took the iamp, and wen
ded her way to her chamber, there to dream
of Jerry and the sad disappointment.
Moru. gay and beautiful, at length broke,
and the day of the sleigh-ride had appeared.
Hulda arqpe with a heart overcome withsor
row and grief, and prepare the rerAstfor
tne morning. .
" My daughter,"" said uncle Jim, as he
finished his breakfast and removed his chair
towards the fire place, " I have come to the
conclusion to let you, go to the slefgh-ride
this day on one condition.""
" What is that father V exclaimed Hulda,
as if a ray ofljope had made its -appearance.
" You may go," a thrill of joy gladdened
her very soul, " but if yon' do you must go
with me!"" '" '" !,'. :'v'"'- - -
A shade of dissatisfaction slightly darken
ed herTace, as,she thought of Jerry. After
remaining ima mood of contemplation for
some minutes "she joyfully said :
" Yes, father, 1 will go with you, but you

Tut. tut, Hulda, don't be, too hasty, for
I may not get a conveyance; let me see, here
is Squire Jenks sorrel colt wonder if he
would Jet him V and uncje Jim turned on
his heel, and forthwith started for the
Squire's. '
Hardly had he disappeared, wben the"
back door opened, and there entered nobody
else but Jeremiah Sampson. - "
Are vou coinff. dear Hulda?" were the
TGTiP be said &a he entered Up door.
"Yes, ,ve " she stammered. 'Tmt I hare I

soon had ber apron on to cover the guilty
part, if"itmlght be thus termed.

the charmm?: Hulda. sans ceremonie into tne
best parlor, to the astonished gaze of tho old
man. '.
"Why, how do you do?" exclaimed a
dozen voices at once, as she entered the
room.
Wlifrf's Wrrvar.d her eveff wandered
around the room, and in, a corned , secreted
she beheld his Iovelform. and rushed to hi 3
arms. What a hubbub, a errand meiee was
then. It however gradually subsided, as
fWv beheld uncle Jim. Hulda slid from
Jerry's lap, "as if n'othing had happened, into
a near chair, X7hile her lamer iookcu n, mm
Ys-ith a severe frown and sat beside her. It
wiis proposed by tho ceppanyi to play "Snap
Dragon." In an instant the .cry Snap Drag
on was Lcaid from every lip.
A large earthen platter was scon brought
full of "old whiskoV,"- set" down on the
table : raisins being furled, they.all seated
themselves around, with, the exception of
uncle Jim, who wondered when they were
going to have the-sleigh-ride.- The -.whiskey
being fired, a score of hands were plunged
into the burning element. '
" Oh! my hands," "cried one.
"1 have got the most," said another.
" J3oo-o6 oo." bellowed a thrid.
What a noise lo the ear of uncle Jim. But
with all his wilfulness, he could haidly re
frain from laughing,, as he saw the grand
rush. The play soon cred, and the dm
quieted, as they returned to their seats.
" The next play 'shall be marriage," said
James Erown.
"Yes! man iage," they all cried.
This wa? truly cutting to uncle Jim" but
he knew 'twas all a play," and therefore
was dprnivd v mum. In an instant a ecu-.

jerrV and Huida were called up.

At the recital of the sentence, undo Jim
succeeded in raising himself from the "sticky"
seat, and in a menacing tone said

" Little too late," interrupted Hulda, " for
I 'spose Jerry and me are one now, father,''
continued she, approaching him ; " further
more. I will make you acquainted with our
old minister Parson B." ,
Tho Rev. Mr. 33., for ii was no other, now
pulled off his complete disguise, and .shook
hands heartily with uncle Jim, ' whose rage
was now turned into laughter as he exclaim
ed . .- rs.
" That it was the first time he evef was
deceived in a Rev. gentleman, and more
particularly in a marriage ceremony, and lie
would knock under, if they, would tell him
who planned the trick so handsomely." . .
Every eye was immediately turned on

The hour of ten struckand each withdrew

is, that uncle Jirauhad fallen ini-love with a

A Sister's Value. Have you a siter ?
Then love and cherish her with all that
pure, and holy friendship, which renders a
brother so woiihy and noble. Learn to ap
preciate her swee't influence as portrayed in
the following words : .
"He who has never, known a jistci's kind
ministration, nor felt his heart warming be
neath her endeanngsmile and lovo-beainir.f
eye, has been pnfortunato. i'JtrJ. It is not
to be wo-CIed at, if the fountains of pu:c
feeling flow in his bosom but sluggishly, or
if the gentle emotions 0 his natuic lc lost in
the sterner attributes of mankind."
"That man has grown up among affec
tionate sisters," I once heard a lady of much
observation and experience remaik.
"And why do you think so ?' said I.
"Becausc of the rich deve.lopemcnt of ail
the tender feelings of the heart "
A sister's influence is felt even in mnn
hood's riper years; and the heart of him' who
has grown cold in chilly contract - with the
world, will warm and thrill with pure enjoy
ment, as some accident awakens within him
the .soft tones, thec'ad melodies of his sisters
voice ; and he will turn from purposes which
a warTtnd and 'false DhilosoDhv had reasoned
j- I r
into expediency ,and even weep, for the gentle
influences which had moved him ia his car
lieryears." - . .
