POLLY SNITTERS.
A Tale of the Shenandoah.
By GALE PART1NaroN.

Charming Polly Snitters lived with her
father, Jim B. Snitters, in the beautiful and
fertile valley of the Shenandoah.
The house in which the aforesaid charming
Polly first oped her eyes to gaze on the benign
but pock- marked countenance of her beloved
pap, was cross between poets cottage and
an ordinary cow>shed.
Polly never INDUCED in those romantic
thoughts which other young ladies imbibe in
reading novels. She couldn't read; Polly
couldn't, She was about as practical and
sensible young lady as you could find in o
and that's saying great deal.
She could make the best hard soap from
the least lye of any other gal in the county !;
Polly could.
Jump a fence, tree 'possum Why Polly
was accomplished, though she couldn't read
make use of these preliminary remarks
concerning Polly, to convince the reader that
she was unsophisticated as young lady in her
circumstances should be. Polly, charming,
practical Polly loved.
Squire Sibert's Joe was the victim. She
had named the pet calf after him. Many and
many a night Polly lay in her bed Con the
foor) thinking of Joe Sibert and of the happy
scrubbing his check shirts.
said before Polly was practical in her
ideas
One Sunday night as Jim, Pollys pap, sat
on an old wood-horse near the door, with his
heavy boots propped against the jam5, he heard
the distant baying of the hounds as they pur.
sued some animal on the far off mountain.
Jim pressed his fingers to his lips, sent a
strnaT1 Of knhaccO i1ica o0ainSf ba Faoa Of
Po!lyss calf which was standing near the door,
and said:
"Poliy, I'll bet gallon of Ticker them ere

"Well, what if they is. papr We ANT
got nuthin' ter do with EN-" That's the
answer that charming Polly made her pap.
''Poll, my DEAR" replied her pap, Joe
Sbert is likely young feller. / wish you
an hind pull together, Poll, that do"
''Pap, you know Joe don't wear no gallus
ses on Sundays an he likes lcker orfulIy too,
pap" said Polly with wink at the pet calf
which she had named after the young man
whose frsities she was bringing to light.
eff Joe don't wear no gallusSes. an if he
do git shakey non an then, them's his
virtues" retorted Jim in a tone of repsoof.
81 don't banker arter Joe, no how" spoke
Poll with another wink at the calf Jim gave
the calf shot Of tobaceo-juice between the
eyes, rose and addressed Polly thus "You
don't banker arter him! Well now if you
don't go to the sarcus what's comm next Fri
day with Joe, bsuise my corns if there don't
be ALFRED fuss round here"
Polly loved to hear her father lAud Joe's

However, they went. Joe was drtssed IN
his best holiday apparel Hetook PARTICULAR
pains to exhibit his new suspenders, y letting
their ends hang below his vest pockets.
Polly watched the equestrians vault over
the banners and ropes with the most exquisite
delight.
Joe took advantage of her good humor to
offer himself as her future partner. "Oh !
Polly" he began. 81 Ain't much good at usin'
big words; but 1 tell you plump and plain
that wants yer hand"
'Thar's my hand, you goose, if thatll do
you any good" replied Polly, placing her
plump sun>burnt fist into Joe's.

it's out now. That's what mean" ssid Joe
with an audible groan. which attracted the at
tention of the boy who was selling lemonade
to the spectators
'No, l won't marry you Joe Sibert."-
This answer seemed to seal joss fate. The
world appeared as first>class hunbng to him,
and the wide ocean that he had SO often read
of, shallow frog>pond. In fact Joe felt like
going up to the lions den and thrusting bis
head into the mouth of the largest of the
beasts right in Polly presence.
But he did nothing Of the kind. He simply
bought pea. nuts, prize. candy and lemonade
for Polly until she declared her intention Of
marrying nobody but himself Polly knew
how to soften Joe's wrath She was practical
Joe's heart beat as it never beat before. The
world was the best world he ever lived in and
the broad ocean he had read of wasn't frog
