After reading a bagfull OF such mes
which these good folks were so earnest
about; so in the next issue there ap-
peared this notice:
marian would state TO her numerous adj
| mirers that she has decided away her entire
| property, to take effect on her wedding

former correspondents. retracing their
matrimonial offers. The minister said

But the mail also brought something

she put on her strongest glasses and

Miss Marian pushed back her glasses

A few weeks after Miss Marian
called on me. Her face was radiant
as she invited me TO her wedding with
the Captain.
He doesn't spell any better than
the law allows, and he has horrid
way of commencing every word with a
capital; but that don't worry me bit,
because always expect TO 60 with
him everywhere, and there'll be no &C.
casion for writing letters. Besides at
my time of life person can't expect
everything in husband, and he is Just

well of him. Pm sure 1 can never be
thankful enough to YOU for my happi-
ness"
That was in 1875. Circumstances
prevented my going TO the wedding.
Marian gave UP sewing after her mar
riage. and so 1t happened that never
saw the Captain, and rarely met the
Captains wife. But last week she
came to me-not at all in spirit of
thankfulness--dressed in deep mourn
ing.

She turned on me with considerable
asperity.
Take for granted that man isn't
worth selling to junk-shop who pro-
poses to woman in that fashion; and
the woman who accepted him ought to
be put into strait-jacket. Everyone
has to play the fool ut some period of
life. Ny time was late. but acted my

My sewing-room has regained long
lost picture. Marian sits there plying
her needle and adjusting her glasses
they are ten years stronger than when
she sat there before-as quietly as
though she not only never INDUCED in
lover, but rs if dream of romance
had never entered her humdrum
thoughts. -LuLy 4. Littleton.
