Wanted 80 A Wife.

Ina pretty cottage not many miles from the
Forest City," dwells the widow Ray ana her
only daughter Nellie, a pretty, warm-hearted
girl of seventeen. As they were abundantly
able to live in deness, or to do as they pleased,
it is not remarkable that time often hung heayi-

Gently left large boarding school, to the great
delight of her mother, and a certain young man
who had looked, but not yet breathed his love.
But what need is there of words, when the
sweet mystic signs Of the tenderer passion are
so felt and understood that they need no inter-
probation ? Yet, notwithstanding all this, it
CHANGED as she sat dreaming in the soft and
hazy light of September afternoon, that her
eyes fell upon and were arrested long enough to
read the following lines;
WANTED; A young man of prepossessing APP
pearance, and whose ancestors might (if they

who had been doing over her knitting for an

Nelly explained, adding quite warmly;
''0f course, aunt Polly, | don't mean any

Polly. "ln my young days, men didn't have

the old lady resumed her knitting with a sigh
for the degenerate times, while Nellie sat down
and penned the desired reply on the whitest and
finest of cream-laid
