But Pm talkiug in my sleep"
Some folks are in the habit of talking
in their sleep, and Miss Betsy Wilson was
Of that number. This popularity she ac-
cidentally revealed to Jediah jenkins in
careless, conversational way. Jediah
had just finished the recital of matri-
monial dream, in which the young lady
and himself figured as hero and heroine,
he having invented the same, for the sake
Of saying at the conclusion that it was
too good to be true,' and thus, by speak
ing in parallels, assuring the damsel of
what he dared not speak plainly. aa
'Inever dream said Betsy, but / some
times talk half the night, and tell every
thing l know in my sleep
You don't say so.'
Yes, can never have secret from
mother; if she wants to know anything,
she pumps me after I've gone to bed, and
answer her questions as honestly as if
my life depended on it. That was the
reason / wouldn't go to ride the other
night / knew she would find it QUIT is
awful provoking -,
Some days after this, Jed called at the
house, and entered the parlor unanoun-
ced, found that Miss Betsy, probably over
come by the heat of the weather had fall.
len asleep on the sofa.
Now, Jed, as the reader has surmised
had long felt an over-weening partially
for the young lady and yearned to know
if it was returned; but, though possess
ed of sufficient courage to mount the i'm
minent deadly breech'-or breeches-
| Commercial ones, we mean) he could no
muster spunk enough to enquire into tht
state of;iier heart. But he now betheugh
himself of her confessed somnambulic To-
quacity. aud felt that the time to ASCERTAIN
his fate had comc.s1 Approaching the so

AN INTERESTING LETTER.-The fines

AN INTERESTING LETTER finest
Of wits, Oliver Wendell Holmes, sent two
poetical letters to the Post Office" of an
Episcopal Fair at Pittsfeld. In one of
them the first stanza was:
"Fair lady whosoe'r thou art,
Turn this poor leaf with tenderest care,
Ambush, o hush thy breathing heart
The one thou lowest will be there"
On turning the "poor leaf" there was
found dollar bill with some verses be-
ginning:
- Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not a truthful letter.
This is the one (l) thou lowest we'll
And nought (O) can make thee love it bet
ter 10)

Romantic.

The following thrilling extract is taken
from an unpublished romance:
"Listen to me, Gaspardo, do. When
/ first met the lady Arabella in the bril-
liant saloon of the Court de Pompereno,
[ was struck with the spiritual lustre of
her dove like eyes. In short my friend,
l loved her, although knew nothing of
her birth, fortune or station. Twas one
moonlight eve, in the garden of old chau-
teau, when pressed her to become my
own, my cherished bride. She shrank
from ME saying:
"You knowest not whom am"
81 care not" said passionately.
g Then Isdo," cried she in piercing
tone; "I am your unknown wash woman,
and I'd thank you to pay me for the six
pieeesI washed for you last week.
'sGaspardo, T. left forever the sunny
cline of Italy a broken hearted man.

How TO g Go IT. Go it strong in your
praise of the absent. Some Of it will be
sure to get around. a
Go it strong when you make love to a
pretty widow. More people have erred
by too little than too much in this partic-
ular.
Go it strong when taking up contribu-
tions foracharitable purpose. It will pay.
Go it Strong when you make public
speech. Nine people out Of ten never
take any allusion unless it cuts like short
:h:Rdled whip, or a rhinoceros eowhide,
Go it strong when you advertise. Bn-
siness is like architecture-its best sup
porters are full columns.

A Humorous Incident.


A laughable incident occurred recently.
the circumstances of which are as fol-
lows: An old gentleman farmer, who had
two handsome daughters MAS, SO cautiousst
Of his charge that he Fould moi psrsait !
them to keep the company Of yonng zen. /
However, they adopted The folIoviae ex-.
pedient to enjoy the company Of thelr.
lovers After the old man retired to rest
the girls would hang a sheet out Of the
window, and the beau would seize hold o &
it, and with the assistance Of his ladlt
love, who tugged Justify above, would.
! thus gain an entrance. 1t so happened
one evening that the girls hung out the
sheet too early; for the old gentleman, by
some ill-wind, was accidentally around tho
corner, and spying the sheet, could nots
conjecture the meaning of its being there,
so he caught hold and endeavored to pull
| it down; the girls above supposing Il to-
tbe one of their beaux, began to hoist
and did not discover the mistake till thAs
iold mans head was level with the window
| sill, when one of them exclaimed---ssO Oh
Lord! it's dad.n and letting go the sheet.
down came the old gentleman an the
ground, dislocating one shoulder, which
convinced him that to make old maids Of
his daughters, was matter not so easily
accomplished, and Withdrawing all further
Opposition to their keeping company, he
Twas soon father-in- law. q Sc =. TseAs-s
