says the Raleigh Standard, and they
acted sensibly indeed. All day long
they were fixing up their house. The
woman vowed she wouldn't marry till
she "seed every thing fixed" Hand in

the streets and buying provisions and
furniture for the house. And at last.
when all was done, the woman walked
down and peeped in and said, snow,
John, I'll marry you," and they went
and were married, and marched
straight down into a snug little home.

PERSONS who are in the habit of pass
ing in the neighborhood of the Post
Office in the evening, says the Portland
(Me.) Press, Il not help noticing a
little n~ewsdealer who is always crying
bitterly for some one to buy his last
paper that he may go home. OF course
he finds n number of sympathizing per-
sons who buy the paper, and bid the
little fellow to go to his mother. As
soon, however, as the purchaser is out
OF sight the little chap procures another
paper, and goes through the same per-
tormance. Some times the police find
him at his post until near midnight,
and are obliged to send him home. He
probably sells twice as many papers AS
any other boy in the city.
