COURTISG IN OUR VILLAGE.
From an earesdropper 'oho ciU ROUGH for
the JOlloulngl
On last Thursday evening, about eight
o'clock, as l was walking on Back street,
overheard the following conversation by
q young gentleman and lady, Of the town ;
"Now, dear, you know have always
loved you and what makes you treat me
so cold and Independent!
Eyes, believe you. But, then, you are
too slow, and am tired of waiting, and
my love for you has grown cold"
ayes, know, darling, you once loved
me, and why can't you try and do so again
and make me happy, won't you, and make
me this promise that you will stop the
DR.. from calling on You, won't you, please
do and then | am yours always, even
unto death-storms, cyclones and hail
may come, but | am yours forever. The
DIR. has no home, and ! will have a nice
comfortable home as soon as the old folks
pass ont of the way as you know they
object for me to pay any attention to you
and this has been the excuse of my being
slow. Now, promise me what have ask
ed, won't you, dear, and make me happy
won't You accept me |"
She answered az guess so" and they
sealed it with kiss over the gate. The
young man wended his way towards the
depot slowly humming; "Whte wings
never grow weary" and the young lady
turned towards her home, only rod off,
singing in clear voice praise God from
whom all blessings how." Our wish il
that the promise may be kept, and that
they may see many happy days. We also
extend our heartfelt sympathies to the
other fellow-the Doctor.
