l loved charming maiden fair,
A little hannsomc creature,
With dark blue eyes and golden hair,
A gem in form and feature:
Iworshipped her with all my heart,
That charming little elf,
But true love never does run smooth -

All things went lovely for awhile, ..
Immensely were our blisses,

And theatres, full many;
gave her presents, rich and rare,
Because she hadn't any;
AL! that did--just think OF it,
One night at the Adelph,

"You know how tits yourselt"
My heart began to flutter then;
Said I, "Who is that fellow?"

And then began to below.

Not Good Enough for Her.

The ancestors of the good people of
the United States came to this country
ostensibly to escape the prosecutions
of aristocratic England, but, alas for
the Inconsistency of human nature,
they were very far from abandoning
aristocracy when they left the mother
country. They brought it with them,
together with all its accompanying no.
tions and absurdities, and have left it
to their children as an inalienable leg
acy, which they seem to be trying to
increase every day.
In the days of the good colony of
Virginia, the distinctions between rich
and poor were based upon laws, which
like those of the Medes and Persians,
altered not. One of the most devout
followers of this code was wealthy
planter, living in what is known as the
Northern Neck. He was in all other
respects q frank, open hearted, manly
gentleman; but his estimate of his fel-
low.men was founded upon the pin
ciples that governed his selection of
his horses-blood. Wealth, too, was
by no means an unimportant feature
with him. He had our human weak
ness, and, like all of us, was influenced
more than he even believed by pounds,
shillings, and pence.
This Mr.. c. had quite large
family, among them daughter whose
beauty was the standing toast of the
country. She was just eighteen, and
budding into lovely womanhood. Not
only was she beautiful in person, but
her amiable disposition aid many &C
complishments made her more than
ordinarily attractive, and half the gen.
tlemen of the Northern Neck were al.
ready sighing for her love.
There was in the country at this time
young man who was already rising
high in the esteem Of his neighbors.
He came Of good family, but was, as
yet, poor young surveyor, who had
taught himself his profession, and who
had spent much of his time in travers-
ing unknown forests, with nothing but
his compass for his guide, and his
chain for his companion, locating
lands, and settling disputed titles. He
was model of manly beauty, and ex-
celled in all the various feats of strenth
in which the olden time Americans
took such pride. He was calm and re-
served, and there was about him dig
nified sweetness OF demeanor that &C.
corded we'll with his frank independ.
encc of character. He was q great fa-
vorite with all who knew him, and
there was no gathering to which be
was not asked.
Mr.. O. seemed especially to like

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
"YOU KNOW HOW IT'S YOUR

Dear Nellie, Sunday night, you know,
hadn't much to say,
And yet twas twelve o'clock or so
Before went away;
You saw that halfthe time watched
The clock upon the shelf;
Oh, Nellie! how l wished you might
See how 1t was yourself!
I wanted so to tell you,
What I've waited long to say,
But heart and spirit failed me,
My courage died away;
Now, Nellie, only listen
You roguish little elf!
I'm sure you'd pity me, at least,
1t you knew how il was yourself!
Excuse me, Nellie, darling,
I've loved youlong and well,
Then let me keep this little hand,
Nor rall my hopes dispel;
love you more than all the world
Can give Of power or pelf-
But words are weak when hearts would
speak
"You know how tits yourself!"
Her lips but family quivering,
Her shy glance upward THROWN
I gently drew her to my side,
My beautiful! my own!
We sat there ali the evening"
"Twelvc" came from the mantel shelf
The rest you must imagine-for
