@ Two young lawyers, Archy Brown
and Thomas Jones, were fond of dropping
into Mr. Smiths parior and spending an
hour or two with his only daughter, Mary.
One evening, when Brown was there, auo
he and Mary had discussed every topic,
Brown suddenly in his sweet tones, struck
out as follows
s'Do you think, Mary, you could leave
father and mother, this pleasant home with
all its ease and comforts, and en'igrate to
the Far West, with Il young LAWYER: who
has but little besides his profession to de-
pend upon, and with him search out new
home. which it should be your joint duty
to beautiiy and make delightful and happy

Dropping her head softly on his sboui-
