" But, then" sighed the young man, ss he
hitched along on the rail, "the woman you loved
didn't own sixteen mules, and hare clean 10U
bales OF cotton to SELL"
AN AWKWARD AVoWAL.
l. writer in the Paris CadrtUari says: The
hurry Of young man to say II will marty"
above Ill, when he does not see what his inter-
locutor carries in haud-is sometimes exceed
ingly inconvenient. The other day worthy
citizen encountered, AZ he came out of fancy
store, : young man whom he had met Ut the
bathing place month bef0ra-
"Hold!" said he, to himself, that isthe young
fellow whom ne used always to meet On the
shore when took WALK With Victor1ne."
He ran toward the young man and said,
Don't you recol1ect me3"
..Hea1ens!" he exclaimed, turning deadly
pale; and, seiziDg the old mans hands 80 that be
could inh.ct no injury, he added, II am ready
to marry her, sir.
ITO marry he1!" exclaimed the citizen, in
amazement.
"Yes, sir, have done very wrong. I know
it. But all can be repaired. What do you wish7
luve her-love her Like = fool
"Love ?-who?"
'4Victorine."
"Victorine! Ma1heureu1! Why, that is mY
wife"
WHICH He WOULD RATHER HAVE.
A Detroita1 OF liberal education (says the
Free Pyess) has been greatly annoyed because
his wife and other women are not better posted
on history and other matters connected with the
growth or Welfare Of the country. The other
day he carried home big history and handed it
to his spouse with the remark:
There Mary, want you to commence at
page one and see If you can't learn some
thing"
She agreed to become his pupil, and when he
came home to supper he found herreAding away,
hair down. slippers on, all the fires ont but ons,
aud no sign OF supper:
why how's this7" h" inquired !; ''are you
Sick! No."
"Tell where's my supper?"
81 don't know anything about your supper"
she replied as she settled back in her chair:
" but can tell you about the first discovery Of
Florida as straight as astzing!"
That history hasn't been opened alnce that
evening.
