Paying Attentions

AS 1t Is obviously a young mans duty
to pay attention to some young woman,
considering that this is really the chief
motive of social intercourse. it is rather
hard upon him that he no sooner begins
10 1uhll his mission, and calls and drives
ana dances more or less boldly with one
damsei than all the match making
mothers and all the single women, to
nom a love affair, anybody's love af-
ialr' is precious and entertaining, in
terchange ideas upon the subject, and
report that young Crayon is in love with
MISS Coupon; and although he may
never have thought of love in relation
to Miss Coupon, and although he may
possibly have drifted into a genuine af-
lection sooner or later if nobody had
meddied, since proximity is a dangerous
factor, and brings about moro marriages
than matchmaking, the prema-
tnre report has a very damaging effect;
he begins to see that unless he is serious
in paying attentions he is compromising
not only himself but the young woman,
and keeping other suitors at a distance;
and although he may not know whether
he hes any positive designs or no, and
his emotions may be in a state of evolu-
ton, and ne may not entirely understand
his WI designs, yet he is put upon0 his
guard, the cordial relation between the
two cools, and he earns the name of be-
ing a heartless t%ri1er, or is forced into a
hasty declaration before he is 9eady to
make it. Naturally the locker on says
that he ought to know his mind; that he
has no business to devote himself to a
woman whom he doesn't love. But love
is not an instantaneous affair, like being
struck with lightning; it is a growth.
And how, prithee, is young man to
know whether he loves or not, if he
may not live more or less in the com.
partnership of that "not impossible
she" Z II he may not have opportunity to
observe and study her? To be sure,
Miss Coupon may object to being made
a study of, to being placed under the
microscope, and then by and by turned
aside as an imperfect specimen. But
she has the same privilege herself, and
would be sadly shocked if any one sup
posed that she would accept a lover
without some knowledge of his quail
fcations. One might ask if she, on her
side, had serious and matured designs
when she answered his notes, accepted
his invitations, his bouquets, and on
%fectionery; if she were not also attempt
ing to discover if he we're her ideal.
We do not dispute the fact that there
are many mon who firt, maliciously, so
to speak, who do not mean to fall IN
love, who have themselves well in hand;
bue they need not be ~confoundcd with
those who are simply trying to discover
their heroine. -Harper's Bazaar.

another Lincoln Aneciote.

Seymour Curtis is one of the charac,
tiers of Stratford. He went to the war
as ifer, and since has been what may
be called an ardent, working Repub-
lican. He comes to Bridgeport nearly
every day, and on his last visit told the
following anecdote, never before
printed:
During the presidential campaign OF
1856, when John @. Fremont was the
Republican nominee, Mr.. Curtis, in
company with James Booth, came to
this city to hear Lincoln speak. As
Lincoln stepped upon tho platform to
begin his speech, Booth said to Curtis:
"N hat a homely man! He's the home
lest man I ever saw" But as Lincoln
talked and waxed eloquent, Booth
brought his clenched fist down on Cur
It's knee (and the latter said ho hit
hardl, and said: Seymour Curtis,
he is not SO bad looking, after all! He
grows handsomer all the time" At
last, with q sledgehammer blow of his
fist OF Curtis knee, Booth exclaimed:
Curtis, he is the handsomest man /
ever saw!"-NeU York Tribune.
