Had an Object.

A New Yorker who was in Missouri
last Fall found a number of men dig
ging ditch between two small lakes.
81 don't see the object," he observed,
NO." dryly answered the boss.
'The lakes are too shallow to be
navigated."
"Well?"
"And the ditch can't be of any use
except to the fish.
"Mebbe not"
"Say," called the nettled New York
er, "what isthe object of your Internal
old ditch, anyhow"
"To issue 100000 worth of bonds
on" was the calm reply.

"You are, really, a very hard per-
son to help" cried Amelia. Here is
a pile of might-be'sl If all that you
fear is going to take place, we must
salam, and give your love-troubles up,
for what can we do?"
On this ! mentally cursed myself
for fool, for was not one, to go and
invent difficulties, and damp the ro-
mantle fancies which rendered these
cousins my warm allies? Looking
humbly at them both, | begged their
forgiveness, and promised never to
express any more apprehensions nor
to entertain any further forebodings,
but to take things as they came, and
if the wind drew ahead on one tack
to shift the helm and try the other
tack.
There's nothing else to be done,
Jack" said Sophie; 'for if mamma
won't, and Florence won't. and Mr..
Hawk won't-if it is to be all won't
"Then, of course, it must be won't
with me" said I, finishing her speech
for her.
They stayed awhile chatting, and
before leaving asked me again to dine
with them. | should have been well
pleased to accept the invitation, but
considered ! would stand a better
chance of preserving their esteem and
affection if, now that was out of the
house, | did not dose them too often
with my company; and, besides, if
this courtship of mine was going to
involve much waiting, whether it
came to anything or not, should | not
be dining at their house often
enough 4?
eff ever you want the phaeton, or
feel disposed for a canter, you have
only to send message, Jack" said
Sophie; and then, giving me tender,
sentimental shake of the hand, my
cousins went away.
