ga late philosopher, in speaking of
love letters, says, the ancients dealt in
Dillets, but they were altogether of diff.
sferent kind from those used by the mod

were addressed, not to the understanding
but the head. In those days, counting

AN ORIGINAL LOVE STORY.

He struggled to kiss her. She struggled the same
To prevent him so bold and undauHted;
But, smitten by lightning, he heard her exclaim,
"Avsuns SIR :" and OF he avaunted.
Bot when he returned. with the fsnsish laugh,
Showing clearly Lat he was afrontsd,
And threatened by main force to carry II off.
She cried Donf!" and the poor fellow dsnted
When he meekly approached, and got down at hel
feet
Praying loud. as before he had ranted,
mat sne would forgive him, and try to be sweet
And said, Cant you !"-the dear girl recanted
Then sofoy he whspered-"How could you do 80
certainly thought I was Tilted,
Sut come thou with me, tn the parson wen 60:
Say, wilt thou, my dear ?" end she wited.
Then gaily he took her 10 see her new home
A shaniy by no means enchanted
"See here can live with no longing 10 roam, .
He said, e. Shanr we, my DEAR" so they shan
