declare it's too bad ! why didn't
you tell me this before We were
engaged, and the day set? and
the tiny lip shook in tremor as
the curly head tried to find an
easy place on the points of the
palings.
why, Susie ! what can you
mean? what have | said to make
you feel bad?'
You said you loved somebody
else, so you did
why, no, pussy; what silly
goose you are. l said I loved
nature-but not the Same as do
you. Her | love with awe and

'The-the one you like so, and
are still kind o 'fraid off,
Dear me, what q little tease
You are said l loved nature
Yes, that's the name-but who
is she? Is she young?'
Gracious, mol Thousands Of
years old. Nature is what makes
the grass grow, and the flowers
bloom, and the-hang it all, pus-
sy, you know what I mean
why, yes to be sure. Is that
ali you meant, Fred? How STU
pid 1 was! I'm so glad, though,
we can 90 on being happy, same
as ever, and my dress won't be
thrown away after ALL and the
girlish face rippled with smiles,
and soft hand nestled again upon
Fred's arm.
i would have been a poet,
Susie, but nobody would ever
print any Of my pieces. When a
person loves nature it is sure
sign they have genius. A love
for trees, flowers, and other
things that grow makes US better
and wiser, and should be Guilt

Well, l just more than like

Does that count for anything,
Fred p
Hum. Yes, it indicates candor.
But 1 say, Susie, when we get
married, and my grandmother
dies and leaves her money all to
me, We'll buy nice little cottage
down the river somewhere, on a

Nonsense why, no, certainly

TO the decks OF fast ocean steamers for Liver

barrels shall remain on deck during the yoy-
age. and If the weather keeps cold the quails
arrive in London as fresh as when they started.
Quaiis cost the Western shipper fifty-five cents

from SIS to 81 dozen. The Western shipper
therefore hopes to realize handsome profit on
