Two young lawyers, Archy Brown and
Thomas Jones, were fond of dropping into
Mr.. Smiths parlor and spending an hour or
two with his only daughter. Mary. One
evening when Brown and Mary had discuss
ed almost every topic, Brown suddenly. in
his sweetest tones, struck ont as follows -
6. Do you think. Mary, you could leave father
and mother, this pleasant home, with all its
ease and comforts, and emigrate to the far
west with a young lawyer, who had but little
besides his profession to depend upon, and
with him search out new home, which it
should be yo'r joint duty to beautify and make
delightful and happy, like thiss" Dropping
her head softly on his shoulder, she whisper
ed, II think could, Archy." "Well," said
he. "there's Tom Jones, who's going to emil
CRATE and wants to get wife; I'll mention
it to him"
