The First Fellow She'd Had.

Twas dull, heavy evening the light
Of the dozen gas Jets along the street
only served TO make the haze and fog
visible. The clock just tinkled forth the
hour of nine, and with the usual remark
that "'twas time honest folks we're abed, +"
old McGunnigiggle trudged on upstairs,
followed by the aged partner of his sor-
rows and searcher for his joys.
Don't you young folks sit up till the
morning paper comes, this time, shouted
she over the banister.
"No-o-o," replied sweet voice from
the parlor; "we won't, Will we ?" said
she in an undertone.
mot if 1 know it, was the reply. az
the odd folks are going to be as sour as
this, guess I'll skip now" and he
reached for his hat.
"See here p and the girls eyes
cleaned with earnestness you're the
first fellow I've had, and you've got to
put down that hat and set up and court
me in good shape. I'm homely, know,
but L can build better bread, iron a
bosom shirt handsomer, knit pair of
stockings quicker, and make one dollar
and thirty-seven cents go further than
any girl in the village. Them's my re-
commentators.
" That suits me exactly" and his hat
few into corner, and that evening the
details of the wedding were all arranged.
He depended on girl as smart as that to
get the best of the old folks.
