The Young Lady From Boston.

A MONG the city visitors who are
IA spending the season in our place, is
Boston gentleman and his daughter,
a highly cultured young lady of twenty,
with refined manners, aesthetic tastes
and eye glasses. At the boarding. house
table, one day last week, young Mr..
Sampson, who is clerk in dry goods
store, observed, as he waited for his
dessert:
Did you see that tall book agent in
town to-day"
1t being very warm, nobody vouch-
safed reply, but young Mr.. Sampson,
not at all disconnected by the outburst
of silence, continued:
He was In the store this morning, to
show me his book-medical work, or
Illustrated bible, or something of that
sort. 1t was right hot, and was sitting
on the counter, kinder thinking like,
when in he comes, takes off his coat
and pants"
Here Mr.. Sampson was interrupted by
the smashing of plate, which had
fallen violently to the floor, beside the
young lady from Boston. After the
hired girl had removed the broken
pieces, and the confusion had subsided,
Mr.. Sampson resumed his narrative,
without noticing the agonized express
sion on the Boston young lady's face.
"As was saying-he comes putting
into the store, sets his valise down with
bang, takes off his coat and pants
o
"Qh !" screamed the young lady from
Boston, in an awful voice, that cracked
the soup-tureen from Alpha to Omega,
and fairly made the hair of the bachelor
boarder's wig stand on end. And then
as Mr.. Sampson opened his mouth as If
to continue his story, she fell under the
table in stony faint, and was borne
to her room in state OF rigid insensi-
bility.
After quiet had been restored, and
everybody had silently said nothing for
some moments, young Mr.. Sampson
remarked in very soft and gentle
voice, as he waited for his second piece
Of pie:
He comes into the store, you know,
and he takes of his coat, and pants like
dog, and says, Ia this hot enough for
you ?''
