Honorable COurtship.

/ We heard a very pretty little incident
the other day, which we can not help
relating. A young lady from the South,
it seems, was wooed and won by youth
full physician living in California When
the engagement was made the doctor
was rich, having been successful at San
Francisco. 1t had not existed six
months, however, when, by an unfor-
tunate investment, he lost his entire
''heap." This event came upon him, il
should be added, just as he was about
to claim his bride. What does he do?
Why, like an honorable and chivalrOus
young fellow as he is, he sits down and
writes the lady every particular of the
unhappy turn which has taken place in
his fortunes, assuring her that if the fact
produced any change in her feelings to-
ward him, she is released from every
promise she has made him. And what
does the dear, good girl do? Why, she
takes lump of pure gold. which her
lover had sent her in his prosperity as a
keepsake, and having it manufactured
into ring, forwards it to him, with the
following Bible inscription engraved in
distinct characters on the outside EN-
treat me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee; for whittier
thou goest will go, and whittier thou
lodgest will lodge; thy people will be
my people, and thy God my God. where
thou diest will die; and there will be
buried; the Lord do SO to me. and more
also. if aught but death pa,i me and
thee" The lover idolized his sweet
heart more than ever when liz. 'rceived
this precious evidence of he de. otion
to him both in storm and sun lne. We
may add, that fortune soon again sniled
upon the young physician, AID that he
subsequently returned to tn NJ h to
wed the sweet girl he loved :, who
loved him with such undyins a.,e,-tion.
Reader, this is all true Yong aides
who read the Bible as close, e he
roine of this incident seem have
done, are pretty sure to mas good
sweethearts and better wives.

And Nell obeyed. She and Jane
worked as they never did before in all
their lives. Sunset found the kitchen
as clean as a new pin-the unfortunate
jelly banished, and the daintiest of SUD-
per-tables set.
And as the sun went down, Nell her
self walked down the garden path to
meet her husband, robed in crisp, white
muslin, a scarlet ribbon coming her
waist, a rose in her hair.
81 am glad to see YOU, Mr.. Warbur-
ton," she said, smiling. "You have
found me in great tribulation to-day. l
attempted what l did not understand,
and got into trouble. Ned, dear, forgive
me, and bring your friend in to support"
"Oh, Nell, what brute l was!"
