Popping the Questions.

One Of the Danbury young MEN VINO
has occasionally escorted a young lady
home on Sunday evenings, and went III
for lunch, after performing both ser
vices last Sunday night, suddenly said to
her;
"Do you talk in your Sleep
"Why-0o,' she answered, III sur
prise.
do you walk in your Sleep?' he next
inquired.
mo, sir"
He moved his chair an inch closer,
and with increased interest asked:
'Do you snore?'
NO" she hastily replied, looking
uneasily at him.
Al this reply his eyes fairly eparkled.
His lips eagerly parted, and az lie gave
his chair another hitch, he briskly in
guired.
"Do you throw oombings from your
hair III the wash basin?'
whats that?' she asked, with a
blank face.
He repeated the question, although
with increased nervousness.
NO, ] don't" she answered, in some
hasta.
Again his chair went forward, while
his agitation grew sogreat that he could
scarcely maintain his place upon it, as
he further asked:
"Do you clean out the comb when
you are through
"Of course l do" she said, staring
at him with all her might.
In an instant he was on his knees be
fore her, bis eyes ablaze with fam, and
his hands outstretched.
"Oh. my dear Miss, I love you," he
passionately cried. II give my whole
heart mp to you. Love me and [ will
be your slave. Love me as [ love yon,
and 1 viii do every thing on earth foi
you. Oh. will you take me to be your
lover, your husband, your protector,
your overything?"
It wa a critical moment for a young
woman of her years, but she was equal
to the emergency, as q womau generally
is, and she scooped him in.-NeTs.

Shot in the heart, perhaps, my
Arab steed sank down gently be-
meath me, but / receive severe blow
from something, l know not what
the splinter of shell, probably,
which crushed my lancer cap, and
almost stunned me. l must have re-
mounted myself mechanically, for
when we hacked our way back, and
reached the rear, l was riding a bay
horse of the Eleventh Hussars, the
saddle and holsters of which were
Shiny with blood. The horse fell
with me soon after, as it had been
disemboweled by grapeshot.
OF all those glorious regiments
who formed the Light Brigade there
came back but one hundred and nine
ty eight men; many of these were
wounded and many dismounted, and
when the rolls were called over at
nightfall, it was found that Ole hun
dred and fifty seven were dead, one
hundred and nineteen were wounded,
and three hundred and thirty fine
horses were killed, leaving more than
one hundred and thirty dragons I'm.
accounted for.
l had not the heart to number the
forty men who represented the two
squadrons which followed Lionel
Beverly. There, on the green sward
Of that Valley of Death, lay our gal
liant Colonel, cut in two by round
shot; Travers, torn to pieces by a
grapeshot; Howard, "the only son Of
his mother, and she was widow"
Frank Jocelyn, our old sergeant-ma-
j'r, aud an incredible number of 9TH
ers killed. The flower of our lancers
was there, and among them my faith
full follower, Pitblado, with rife
bullet in his leg.
Hot, breathless, stiff, sore and COW
cred with bruises, now discovered
that in the melee-though was un-
conscious Of having struck blow
there were at least twenty notches in
the blade of my sword, that I had
received three very severe lance
prohs, two sword cuts, and that my
uniform was torn to rags. When we
halted to girth up l threw myself on
the rich rass of the valley, and ia
king off my battered lancer cap, felt
the cool breeze most grateful as it
came from the distant sea. Th II
buried my face among the verdure,
less for GOODNESS than excess or weak
ness, and to hide the sorrow that
consumed me for the losses we had
sustained.
From the distance came the cheers
of the Heavy Brigade, avenging US
and completing the work we had be-
gun. Then the fierce excitement
the devil that had possessed me
passed away and I thought only of
the dying and the dead.
