to all, bachelor and epinster-dom; and though
r.the Ides" have come they are not yet ever.
For the instruction Of our youth we give from
one Of our exchanges the following details Of
the manner IN which the thing is done: :
There will be great deal Of marrying and
giving in marriage this fall. Indeed, the hap
ptpastime has already become serious one
--in extent only. We advise both sexes to
DO on the alert--for just as certain as enuf-

had been on terms Of intimacy with the family
forabout FIVE years, but "never spoke of iove;"

This took Smithson little aback, for he
had spent the pi eceding evening with the fam

courage he said: o
:"I. have come to ask you"
"Not here, .Janise-not now-oh!"
"That is, stammered Smithson, "if you're
not engaged
'"Oh, oh! water. quick" shrieked Jane.
"What's that" inquired her farther, .'who

Then advancing and taking poor Smithson's

aThereupon mother and children crowded
upon Smithson and wished him Joy, and com.

told to them as profound secret. So Smith
