GENUINE AND TRUE.

thought of the young ladies with whom he
boarded. He replied that they were very
shy and reserved.

"That may be-" said the boarder quick

other man can accomplish"
The other was positive, and invited his
friend to the house to witness the triumph.
They entered the room together, and the
three girls were all at home sitting beside
their mother, they all looked as prim and
demure as John Rogers at the stake.
Our hero assumed very grave aspect,
even to detection, and having looked wish
fully at the clock, breathed sigh as deep
as Algebra, and as long as a female dialogue

now attracted the attention of the glIs, who
cast their slow opening eyes upwards to his
countenance. Perceiving the impression
he had made, he turned to his companion
and said in dolefuI voice." 1t wants

"Do you speak of dinner" SAID the old
lady, laying down her sewing work.
A silence ensued, during which the female
part of the household glared at the young
man irrepresslbe curiosity.
"You'll see me decently mterred," said
he, turning again to his friend.
His friend was as much puzzled as any
body present, and his embarrassment added
10 the intended effect. But the old lady
being no longer able to contain herself,

tone but that last night spirit appeared I'M
to me! Here the girls rose to their feet
and drew near--''and the spirit gave me
warning that | should die exactly at y
o'clock to day and you see it wants but hall

The girls turned pale, and the hidden
sympathies were at once awakened for the
doomed and departed one. They stood
chained to the spot, looking alternately at
the clock and at the unfortunate youth hs
