T have selected, however, and will subjoin to this, a poem which you may read and call your own, sacred to the memory of your dead. i Of my deep, personal sympathy with you in your bereavement, I need not. assure you. A bride on Christmas last and a widow before the leaves of your first wedded summer had begun -to fade! What could be more pathetic ? ‘The year that in most lives is.given up to the dear delight of love’s young” dream fulfilled, has in your case been crowded with trembling hopes and Jjoys, with sleepless watehings and anxious fears. Your marriage was an act of consecration, and well and faithfully have you performed your vows. - In these first days of’your. dreary grigf, you are perhaps conscious of but ong emotion, that of hopeless, yearning, loss; but the day will come, after the healigf hand of time has been pressedeipon your aching heart, when this‘year of deep and ‘maturing . } . ; 2 : experiences, will be looked back upon as the golden year of your life, the memory of which you would not part with for worlds. Because of what you ‘have-enjoyéd and suffered within its little scope, you will be calmer and ‘ more patient under future trials, and ‘ stronger for future duties. This life often holds within itself compensation for all its sorrows” nobly borne, and after it is over, we know there is Heaven beyond, where the sunshine of God’s smile will scatter every lingering cloud. ! : - 1 “As one whom his mother conmforty eth,” may the Lord bless and comfort: you.

Letter from ‘Huntingto’n County.’ MouNT ETNA, IND., October 9. . MR. Eprror :—Thinking a few items from this county would be of interest to the many readers of the BANNER, I have concluded to give a few ideas concerning the appearance of things in general at present. : The weather has been quite changeable during the past two weeks.— Jack Frost occasionally makes his appearance in this vicinity now-a-days. . The growing wheat is doing very well at present, but owing to the dry weather during the month of September, it is very backward and does not present that healthy and vigorous appearance seen’ in the wheat fields of Noble couifty. Corn was sligl{itly damaged by an early frost. Potatoés and - garden vegetables of all kinds have l)eelg‘ abundant. Apples are plenty, but peaches are ausgespielt. We judge from the number of young ‘boys and girls we have seen - busily engaged in gathering hickory-nuts, walnuts, etc.,' that thesé dainties are an abundant crop this year. The general health is very good, though we I‘egﬁg‘c to mention the death of the wife of John Heiny, an, old settler of this county,- who departed this life on the 4th inst. The funeral services were conducted in the Tunker church, at Lancaster, after which the remains were conveyed to the ceémetery near the church for interment. ‘Business of all kinds is in a flourishing condition. | : o _ Farmers are still threshing and busily Engaged at their Fall work. Taking a limited view of the country here as ' compared with Noble county, we are inclined to believe the latter suits our fancy better than this county; though we are not yet able to yield the superiority of the magnificent prairies of Towa, our former home, as adapted to the peasant. : W. H, CUSTER.

Tue Warsaw Union; wh‘tch‘ a little ‘ more than a year ago wanted Dan Voorhees nominated for Governor, thus “goes for” the salary-grabbers, of , ‘whom Dan is one: “Unless the few ‘democratic representatives who voted for the salary steal, prefer a 'violent to a peaceable politieal death, we ad--vise them to remain quiet and attempt no explanation of their official c¢onduct. Since there is no law to reach the perfidious chaps, they should rest content, with the present odium that, is attached to their career.” That's L‘ the way to talk it, Frank! o

-~ AWKWARD JEREMIAH. A young man fashionably dressed ‘and with the air of one who would be at home in society, reached Boston toward evening, by the Fitchburg rail‘road. He proceeded at once to a ho- : tel, not wishing to intrude upon his :relatives at that late hour and took a -comfortable supper. ‘After this he read the evening papers and then went for a leisurely stroll on Washington street. On his way he passed Vinton’s well known establishment, and itbeing a warm evening decided to go in and-have some . ice-cream. He accordingly ordered one, and while waiting to have it served, had an opportunity to look about him a little and take a quiet survey of ;the company assembled. These were chiefly ladies, and to ihose who are at all familiar with Bostén ladies, I need not;say that the faces were very wiell worth looking at. ’ Qur hero’s attention however was chiefly attracted by two young ladies who sat at the table nearest his own. They were apparently dbout the same age, whieh could, not have varied wach from eighteen. Both, too, were quite attractive in personal appearance. B s P ' They were conversing together in quite an animated strain on a variety of subjects. At length one said: “By the way, Emma,*h_ave I told you about the visitor we ‘expected ?” “No,” said the other. ; ' “It’s a cousin from the country, who, I suppose, will be a perfect rustic in every respect. Such fun as I may expect to get out of him!” . “What is his name?” | . ; “Jeremiah Outhank. ﬂ expect he will want us te call him ‘Jerry.”” . - The young lady. laughed. “His name lis rustic enough, certainly,” said she. “You mustnot keep him all to yourself, Alice.” | “I don’t intend to. I want somebody else to enjoy the fun”” . “Do you know how he yooks oy ; {“No; but I can imagine. In the first place, he is tall, awkward, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet, wearing, cowhi%e boots and a full suit of blue, includinga swallow tail, studded plentifully| with brass buttons. There, what de) you say to that picture?” - | ‘Emma laughed. - 5 “I say this,” she repliell, “that if he at all answers your description ” he’ will be a decided accession to our society. When do you expect him ¥” “To-morrow. Uncle iJerry wrote that. Jerry, as he calls him, will probably arrive ‘at that time.] :

“I will call.” “Do so by all means.” | With these words they rose from the table and left the store. ; . The young man had listened to their conversation with an air of mingled amazement and vexation.-—Not to keep the reader in suspense, we will state what has probably been surmised, that the chance listener to the young ladies’ remarks was none other than Jeremiah Outhank himself. Ile was quite the reverse of the picture which his cousin had drawn, being .as we have said, very gentlemanly, both in dress and address—He was born in YVermont where his fa.t(iler, good, honest farmer, still lived,but had enjoyed tlie advantages of ,ecklhca.tiqn in ‘the city of New York, wihiere he had an opportunity to mingle in society. This fact was quite unknown to his cousin. In fact, they ;were not first cousins, although the indefinite relationship was most conveniently expressed by that term. Hitherto the two families had known but little of each other. -“I will pay her off,” said the young: man to himself, with quite a smile. . The next morning he visited a ready made clothing establishment. “Have you any blue suits?” he asked. , “We have none made up recently. They are not fashienable in the city, you know.” ; 0 : “#1 am aware of that, but I intend to do a little masquerading.” i - “What, to personate a conntryman ?” said the clerk, smiling. B \“Precisely.” ' j “Then I think I can accommodate you. Not long since a. countryman called in -and ordered such a suit as you desire, and having been fleeced of his money by some sharpers, was obliged to leave them on our hands.” “The verything,” exclaimed young Outhank. . e ' “There is only one thing. |Fe was not so tall as you, and th‘.eyf‘l:'y be ‘somewhat short in the sle._e‘a‘\*egl and legs.”. : oo “All the better. Such is the traditional country fashion. ‘Will you let me see them ?” - 1 _The suit was acccordingly shown. Qur hero at once put ‘it on and could not help laughing at the' metamorphosis which it produced in his appearance. Ile hardly recoghized himself. s e . “I think I will keep them on,” he shid, and have the others sent to my hotel. I wanttwo articles more,some cowhide boots and a flaming red bandanna, and then I shall be fully equiped.” i The last mentioned articles were not difficult to procure. An hour afterward he knocked at the door of his relatives aristocratic residence. , _ i . ~ “Is Alice at hum ?” he inquired of the servant., : - “I believe so!” said the latter, staring at him with eyes wide open. | " “Then go and tell her that her cousin Jerry wants to see her. If she’s frying doughnuts or anything tell her I can wait in the sittin’ r00m.”."

The servant, stifling a laugh, went and reported the arrival to Alice. “Oh, charming!” said she, “I was just thinking what I should do for amusement. I am so glad that he has ‘come.” i Alice descended and entered the drawing room. . There stood before her the exact embodiment of the pictureshe had drawn the evening before. [ “How de do, cousin Alice? I'm Jerry Outhank. Expected medidn’t ye?” So saying he strode toward his cousin, and grasping her tapér fingers in apainful squeeze. / / “I am very well, thank you” said Alice, suppressing a smiles with difficulty, “I hope you left your family welli?i 4 8 ; “Fust-rate. Dad’s alive and kicking and mam’s'so’s to be about—all well except the white heifer—she’s took sick, and I'th afeared she won’t get over it.” St “That's a great pity certainly,” said Alice, with much ’sym‘gatb;y. A “I guess you'd thinkso. That ere “eritter used to ;iive fifteen quarts of milk a day which dad used to sell to the milkman for three cents a guart. O e Aainls asics mlabthois "It is certainly quite melancholy.” ' “Yes,” said Jérr%‘r‘ hes‘i’g?iri‘gly. looking perplexed. e R Y

- “When did you arrive in Boston ?” - “Last night.” L i “Where did you stop ?” ' : ~ “To the Tremont House. What do you think? The plaguey stage driver that took me there charged thirty-sev-en cents! T guess he seed that 1T was from the country and wanted to cheat me. j + “I believe that is the regular price,” said Alice. - “Shoo!. you don’t say so though. o guess you are made of money innßoston. It’s a big town though.” : -“Tt’s pretty large.” “I mever seed so many brick houses in my born days. There’s one thing I want to see though.” ; - “What is it ?” ' _ “It’s a ship. They have it in Boston, don’t they?” - : “0, yes, plenty of them at the wharves!” . : Gl . “Couldn’t you go out with me and take a walk down ‘there? I ’spose you're there most every day?" “It isn’t exactly considered proper for a young lady to walk down to the wharves.” ' o “Shoo! Then youdon’t want to go ?” ““] would rather, walk to the Conis mon. Heve you sden that A ~ “Yes, I seed it this morning.” o 3 “And what do think of it?” ; “It’s aregular shame; they shouldn’t let so much good land go to waste. It would be pretty good to raise potatoes on. I've agreat mind to tell the government I'll take it on shares.” ok “I don’t think it would do any good. They keep it for the children to play on and for the people to promenade.” < %To what?”? : ! “To take walks.” ‘ - “Oh, that’s the idea.” : At this moment Miss Emma Dick-son,--the otherlady, was introduced. Jerry made a shambling salutation and the young ladies continued to ply him with questions, enjoying not a little his rusticity. o Two or three days elapsed. Jerry made his home at the aristocratic mansion of his cousin. It would take altogether too- long to detail all the instances of rusticity during that time.

At this time his cousin determined upon a party, chiefly in honor of a young lady from New York, a representative of the best society in that city, to whom Alice wished to do special honor. :

" When Jerry appeared to escort his cousin down stairs to the brilliantly lighted parlors, she was surprised that he was attired in fashionable style. In reply to her interrogatories, he said: “I kinder thought I'd like to dress a little more in Boston style, so I went out and bought some new clothes.— They cost a mint of money—but darn the expense. “When I'm in Boston I'm going to do as the Romans do.”’ Alice was secretly glad of the change. Really her cousin looked quite genteel, much more so than she had deemed possible. ; Entering the room where a number had already assembled, Miss Emma Dickson took charge of our hero while his eousin did the honors to the arriving guests... . -

- Soon the New York belle arrived and was warmly ‘welcomed by Alice. Some half an hour after, Jeremiah found himself near her. To his surprise he recognized a young lady whom he had met in society. - i The recognition was cordial ‘on’ both sides. [They were conversing unnoticed by Alice, when the music struck up for a quadrille. ~ “Will you accept me in lieu of a better partner, Miss Vancouver?” asked our hero. : : The lady inclined her head on the affirmative. They took their ‘place opposite Alice and a young military gentleman. ; . _ “Good heaveny!” thought she, “how on earth did Jeremiah get introduced to Miss Vancouver? Ile will makeus all ridiculous.” . But she had no time. for remonstrance. The music struck up. : .To' her surprise, Jeremiah went through the figure with perfect propriety. He'did not jump about as she anticipated. . The quadrille over she went up to the pair. : s I didn’t know you had been introi { duced to my cousin,” said Alice. : “We have been acquainted for two years,” said Miss Vancouver, quietly. © “Where did you meet ?” asked Alice amazed, e e “In-New York,” said her cousin significantly, “I was at that time at college there.” Alice was overpowered with astonishment which she managed to conceal, however, till the party was over, when her cousin made an explanation, adding with a smile, “Cousin Alice, you weré hasty in assuming that all who live in the country were clod poles. If you will come to Vermont next summer I hope to convince you to the contrary.” e Alice did visit Vermont as invited. Her visit is likely to be a long ome, as she has become the wife of “awkward Jeremiaht? ° s

e eD B —— Strange Exploits of a Whirlwind. The neatest achievements of a tornado which passed over Sullivan county, New Hampshire, some days :Lgd, was the removal of the house of Bushwell Benway, of East Unity. The liouse was' a heavy one, forty-two by twen-ty-eight feet. Is was instantaneously taken from its foundation and moved forty feet, as if ‘it had slid on ice. Scareely an underpinning stone was displaced, not a thing was dropped into the cellar, which was deep and of the size of the whole hotse; nor was the ground where it stopped much disturbed. Mr. Benway was pumping a pail of water in the back room, and his wife was in the front room; both were carried along, only being aware that some terrible blow had fallen upon their dwelling, but having no suspicion that it had been moved, and neither of them was hurt. Many of -the windows were dashed out; every article: of erockery or glass was broken to pieces;cloths that were hanging about and other things were scattered and rode away. The back side of the house come in contact with the front doorstep, and perhaps the underpinning. Toe latter was handsomely laid upon the ground inside down, and although badly racked, the house stood, while the shed, some thirty feet in length, at the end, was entirely demolished.—Roston Transeript. -~ = It is said that the following, sung to the tune of “Old Uncle N gq%’ is becoming quite popular now-a-days:— “Then pull up the wicket and stake, and put by the mallet and ball, for no more croquet "Il be played this year—it 's getting too late in the fall.” | The dancing season is now upon us. | The formation of g}ubg of tg.xpsm{poxe.
