PrOpOsul Il of Marriage.

1t does not require formal asking
of the momentous question to consti-
tute an offer If marriage. Probably
the majority of swains do not say in SO
many words, "Will you be my wife?''
The compact between lovers is often
more In the language Of the eyes and
of the actions than in that Of articu.
late speech. The moment is fitting.
the surroundings are auspicious and
the hearts of the pair beat in union as
their glances meet. when all at once
they stand revealed to one another as
lovers and betrothed. They have no
need to ask questions at that time Of
supreme elevation, for they know all
they wish to know without such in.
quiries and spoken words, for words
which had heen premeditated, would
seem out of time, harsh, coarse, graf
ing and utterly inadequate to express
the delicious tumult of their souls.
The man may have spent many days
beforehand in constructing and polish
ing up a handsome declaration, yet
when the hour comes it strikes him
unexpectedly. and he either stammers
out words which would be unintelli-
gible to any other hearer than his fair
companion or he only looks what he
has to say, and gets his answer in an
averted and blushing face, q timid
glance, or soft pressure OF the hand.
After it is all done he cares not whit
about the ways through which the
happy end was reached; he has won,
that is enough.

lature and We are pleased to find him
occupying the same position 10 this.
He computed the deficiencies Of the
last two years--as is now shown BY tho
facts, and matured . bill which passed
the Senate for meeting them. These
deficiencies fof two years amount to-
half million Of dollars rather than
the taO0, 600 estimated BY Gov. Rob.
eTts. The grand problem now to solve
is how these deicisncies can be met
with the limitations Of the constitu.
tion, without haaarding demands upon
the Treasury in excess of its receipts
and the consequent depreciation Of
warrants. Gov. Roberts proposes tho
funding Of 100000 aud leaving tSs.
excess a charge upon the Treasury.
We submit whether post notes or war.
rants payable year hence, bearing in.
terest, may not be issued to cover the
floating debt in excess of the 100000
bonded debt. 1t appears as il this
would not conflict with the limitations
Of the Constitution. 1t would not DO
the creation Of debt, but its current
recognition and honest settlement.
The Constitution Cart. 3, SEQ. AZ
limits the creation Of debt to supply
deficiencies in the revenue. and clearly
contemplates that bonds shall not be
issued and sold in excess Of 100000
for raising money for these uses. It
certainly cannot mean to prohibit the
Legislature from formally recognizing
our existing obligations and giving to
the creditor an evidence of it in the
shape Of promise to pay at a future
day. We argue that the State Las no
right to issue its warrants on the
Treasury unless there is money pro.
vided to honor it. And this would in.
evitably be the case should the $780,.
OOO in excess of the $200, 900 proposed
to be funded, be sanctioned by the is-
suance of State warrants with knowl-
edge Of the fact that there would ba
no money to pay them.
We have great confidence in the
ability of the Finance committees of
the two Houses, which are composed
OF their very ablest membars, to deal
with this knotty question, and trust it
may be done so that State warrants
may be kept at par and the public SER
want duly compensated for his services.

And took the seat she offered him
Upon the sofa by her side,
Nor made the space between them less,
Which seemed so narrow, yet so wide.
Then gazing on the perfect face,
The dimped mouth, the serious eyes,
And drinking in with eager ears
The music of her low replies,
He let the bright hours drift away,
Nor told the secret of his heart,
Butwhen the shadows heightened lay,
Rose, all reluctant, to depart.
And stammered forth, with blushing cheek.

That she, for old acquaintance sake,
Would grant the rosebud from her breast.

And watched him leave her, with sigh.

And unmapped vastness Of his unknown start
Loves language, heard beyond the loui discourse
or perishabls fame. In every sphere
Itself interprets; and its utterance here
Somewhere In Gods unfolding universe
Shall reach our traveller, softening the surprise
OF bis rapt gaze on unfamiliar skiesl
