Going With the Girls

The entrance in society may be
said to take place immediately after
boyhood has passed away, yet mnl-
titude take their initiative before their
boards are presentable. 1t is great
trial, either at a tender or a tough
age. For an overgrown boy to go to
a door, knowing well that there are a
dozen girls inside. and knock or ring
with an absolute certainty that in
two minutes all eyes will be upon him
is severe test of courage. To go
before these girls and make tour
of the room without stepping on their
toes, and sit down and dispose of his
hands without putting them in his
pockets, is an achievement which few
boys can boast. If a boy can go as
far as to measure off ten yards of tape
with one of the girls, and cut it short
at each end, he may stand chance
to pass a pleasant evening, but let
him not fatter himself that all the
trials of the evening are over.
There comes at last the breaking.
The dear girls don their hoods, and
put on their shaws, and looks so saucy
and mischievous, so unimpressable and
independent, as if they did not wish
any body to go hone with them. =
Then comes the pinch, and the boy
who has the most pluck, goes to the
prettiest girl in the room, his tongue
clinging to the roof Of his mouth, and
crooking out his elbow, stammers out
the words Shall see you home ?
She touches her finger to his arm, an6
and they walk home as awkward as
two goslings. AS sooa as she is with
in her own door, he struts home, and
really thinks he has been and gone
and done it, She comes. to him at
last with dreams of Harriet aud cal
leo, and he wakes in TIE morning and
finds the door of life open to him, and
the pigs squeali6g for breakfast.

no further urging, and great many
ladies went also, regardless of the
storm. They soon returned, and their

frightful death we had escaped. The

She refused the profered gift for

her duty, and the knowledge of hav-
ing done so was all the reward she
asked. However, she finally accepted
the money and said it should go to ed

Didn't Know How to do It.

A Justice of the Peace in one of
the rural precincts of this county, was
called upon, last week, at late hour
in the evening, to perform the marri
age ceremony for young and inter-
esting couple. 1t was difficult to tell
whether the lovers or the Justice were
the most embarrassed It was his
first attempt to tie the knot, and be
didn't know how to do it, but he
made the attempt. They stood up
before him, and he commenced the
work by an address, partly religious
and partly official and finally broke
down He then made them join hands,
and declared them married, but at the
same time told them that they had
better send for another Justice, as he
was afraid that it wouldn't hold
that perhapsit was not done legally.

1t was late and the young couple
were in quandary. Finally the
young man said he was satisfied that
it would hold until next morning,
when, if there was anything lacking it
could be supplied by another Justice.
To this the lady demurred, and refus-
| ed to leave for home until she was
satisfied that she was legally married.
The. young man remonstrated-7the
Justice guessed they would find it
all right, 7but she was firm, and the
husband had to start off several miles
for another Justice. The Justice
came, and finished the job, and the
married couple departed, happy as.

Sharp Trading.

In the village of W. lived a man,
who had once been Judge of the Coun-
ty, and was known all over it by the
name of Judge L. He kept a store
and saw mill, and was always sure to
have the best of bargain on his
side, by which means he had gained
an ample competency, and some did
not hesitate to call him the biggest
rascal in the world" He was very
conceited withal, and nsed to delight
to brag of his business capacity, when
any one was near to listen. One rainy
day, as quite number were seated
around the stove in the store. he be-
gun, as usual, to tell Of his great bar
gains, and at last wound up with the
expression" Nobody has ever cheat
ed me; nor they can't neither"
Judge" said an old man of the
company, I've cheated you more'n
you ever did me. "
How so 2" said the Judge.
+" If you'll promise you won't 90 to
law about it, nor do nothing, I'll tell,
or else | won't-for you're too much
of law character for me-

half a dozen or more voices.
"I'll promise" said the Judge.
"and treat in the bargain, if you
have"
Well, do you remember that wag-
on you robbed me out of?u

Well, I then made up my mind
to have it back, and"
You never did !" interrupted the
cute Judge.
Yes did-and interest too.n

ragged Judge.
Well, you see, Judge, sold you

Long Ago.

From the CRATE the Goals are glowing,
On the wall and round the room F;
Grim and spectral shadows throwing
Dreary shadows, ghosts of gloom.
Deep within my heart the embers
Of the past are burning low,
And the shadows they engender
Are but ghosts of long ago.
Like glorious panorama,
Fit before my dreamy eye
Hallowed hill, and mild savanna,
Glover fields, and woods, and sky
Beams of joy and forms of beauty,
Pass before me to and fro;
O! to live were joy-not duty
In that lovely long ago.
Long ago 1t surely sdemeth
That an age has passed since then,
Since the vision that now gleameth
Mistily upon my ken.
Was scene of life most real
But the sweetest hours we know,
Soon are lost in the ideal
That we form of long ago.
Flowers of happiness and pleasure
Growing in our path to-day,
We'er not often want to treasure
But when they have flown away,
And we view them in the distance.
Of the dim past, how they glow
With Mortified existence
On the sky oflong ago.

Written expressly for ''THE PREss."l
To Annie.
BY Q. D. PHELIx.

Since like some enchanting vision,
From the regions of delight,
Thy angelic form, dear Annie,
First met my admiring sight;
I have bowed, willing captive
To thy beauty's magic might,
Yes, I've loved thee, from that hour,
With holy, ardent love,
Changeless as the stars that nightly
Sparkle in the world above
Nor can time or absence ever
From my soul that love remove.
Silently I've stood beside thee,
GazeG into thy liquid eye,
Watched thy smile of heavenly beauty,
Listened to thy stifed sigh
All thou didst not know that wildly
Beat loving heart so nigh.
Of the sacred flame that's burning,
Fiercely in my hear It's deep cell,
1 have never dared to tell thee
Lest it should the dream dispsl,
And my sudden waking ever
Break the sweet enchanting spell
Do not spurn the heart I offer,
'Tis loving, trusting one,
And till death shall still it's throbbings,
1t will beat for thee alone.
Have its deep pulsations never
Woke an echo in thy own?
Though thy love may be denied me,
And to another may be given,
I'll ever pray that choicest blessings,
May descend on thee from heaven,
And in whispering thy sweet name
Shall my dying breath be given.
