An amusing matrimonial s5.FY - told of the

that two young pr,p pie became very muei,
smitten with each other, as young people
sometimes do. The Young woman's father
was wealthy Quaker-the Young man was
respectable hut poor. The father could
stand no such union, and resolutely opposed
it, and the daughter dare not disobey openly
She met him by moonlight while pre-
tending never to have seen him-and she
pined and wasted in spite of herself. She
was really in loye-a state ofsighs and tears,
which women oftener reach in imagination
than reality. Still the father remained in.

Time passed on, and the rose of Mary's da-
mask cheek passed Off She let no conceal
ment, like a worm in the bud pray on that

er asked her why she pinned. she always told
him. The old gentleman was a widower and
and he loved his girl dearly. Had it been
widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a
woman's pride never would have given way
before the importa Disies of q daughter. Men
are not, however, so stubborn in such mat
ters, and when the father saw that the daueh-
ter's heart was really set upon the match, be
surprised her one day by breaking out =
Mary, rather than NOPE to death. thou hadst
better marry as thee chooses and when thee
pleases."
And what did Maryf Wait till the birds
of the air had told her swain of the change,
or till her father had time to change his mind
again? Not bit Of it. She clapped her
neat plain bonnet on her head, walked direct
ly ihto the street, and went as directly to the
house of her intended as the street could car
ry her.-She walked into the hotel without
knocking, for knocking was not then fashion
able, and she found the family just sitting
down to dinner-Some little commotion was
exhibited at so unexpected an appairtion as
an heiress in the widows cottage, but she
needed it not. John looked up inqr iringly.
