A Cautious Lover

John Shorger has been paying
marked attention to Miss De Smythe,
one of the bellies of Texarkana. He
has come very near proposing several
times, but did not dare to risk it for
fear she might refuse to amalgamate.
He got around it very nicely, however.
while escorting her home from church.
He said:
miss De Smythe, if there is any
thing in the world I dislike it is to
have a young lady refuse me. 1 wish
you would tell me if you would say
yes, in case I were to ask your hand
in marriage"
She suggested that he try it, but he
thought he had better wait awhile un-
til he could see his way more clearly

English Bea giles.

1t is very pretty sight to see pack
of beagles working in cover. How
they try every tuft of grass or
rushes! Soon you notice that they are
working more eagerly, and soon begin
to lash their tails, and suddenly out
bursts '.bunny" from his seat, sure
to be saluted by ahasty shot from some
one, not the least to its detriment, but
avery narrow escape for the leading
dogs. Away 90 the pack, making
the woods ring with their tongues.
Excited individuals run after them,
often with their guns on full cock and
their fingers on the trigger What their
ideas may be in this performance is
difficult to say, but suppose it is the
effect of that temporary insanity that
seizes many people at the sight of a
rabbit AS rabbit invariably runs
a ring and returns to it's starting place,
there is not the least use except fo
the sake of exercise in trying to follow
it; and the first one put up is safe to
run his ring, as the good shots will not
fire at him, that the youngsters may
have chance. and the Indifferent shots
are sure to miss the first through ex
citement. You hear plenty of shots
while the dogs are running, as other
rabbits, frightened by their noise and
passage, bolt from their seats and scut-
tie about everywhere. Besides these.
a few old cock pheasants, who have
strayed from the preserves, are sure to
be found and shot. You shortly hear
a shot from the cover the rabbit was
found in, followed by "Who-whoop"
showing that the hunted one has been
killed. Society.

member the Alps" To an ordinary man
these would have seemed simply insur-
mountable, but Napoleon responded eager
