Jack, my dasIing!r and had thrown her
arms about his neck, hiding her foce upon
his breast.
TenderIy, lovingly. he put his arms
around her-he did not ask why she had
spoken--something told him that happi-
ness had come to him at last. .
When, several minutes later. the over
seer of the Mt. Robin farm did come
something the like OF which he had never
seen before. He saw Mr.. Trent holding
Miss Willis very tightly in his arms-in
the public road. In the broad daylight
kissing her very tenderly. He also saw
that Miss Willis rather seemed to like It
and, like the discreet man that he was,
he promptly retraced MS steps before they
had discovered his presence. Had the
worthy oyerseer been curious enough to
remain where he was. he would have seen
Mr.. Trent and Miss Willis. after little
while, go through the gate and slowly up
the path 10 the house, the young gentle
man. meanwhile. keeping his arm about
the young lady's waist.
That evening Jack learned from Madge's
lips the reason of her engagement to Han,
cock. Trent could never have guessed
that her father on his death-bed drew
from her promise that she would marry
her cousin when she attained her twenty
first year (Which promise was exacted. no
doubt. that Madge's little inheritance
might prop up the failing fortunes of her
fathers nephew, but he could appreciate
the sense of honor which persuaded her to
keep that promise faithfully. He was
very greatly surprised. however, when he
learned that Dir. Hancock had given
Madge her freedom (that very afternoon)
ostensibly through motives OF generosity,
really perhaps. through pique, and he
vowed that in future he would try to culti-
vate o friendly feeling for Bob Hancock.
and for the honor Of the family do what he
could to keep that young gentleman from
going to the dogs. But as Jack Trent was
very much like other young men what
pleased him most was what Madge said to
him at the evenings close" Jack. dear, L
have loved you ever since saw you at the
Assembly ball"
This confession was accompanied by a
maidenly and most becoming blush--as it
should have been-and Jack in his happi-
ness thought of the old couplet:
40 flame OF love, go quick to kindlel
D love Of woman, pure and true forever!'

Another Version OF n Famous Epitaph.
News FERRY. Va, July 5, 1891.
To be Editor of he Dispatch:

To he Editor OF me Dispatch:
A communication in your weekly edition
July Sd gives an old anecdote so different
from the true version. that | cannot resist
the temptation to send you the correct
one. which | received from an old gentle
man who died in this neighborhood about
fifteen years ago. and who knew all the
parties.
In the neighborhood of Brooklyn, this
county. lived q constable named John
Ferrel, who frequently amused himself
writing doggerel verses. In the same
neighbOrhood lived aschool-master named
Teazel. On one occasion at warrant
trial at Brooklyn Teazel offered TO treat
the crowd if he would write his epitaph.
which Ferrel agreed to do, and he CON-
menced the epitaph thus:
"There was "a man who lived Of late,
For whom angels did impatient wait,
With outstrctchsd arms and Wig OF ioyo
To watt his soul 70 realms above
Teazel was 80 much delighted that he
called the whole crowd up for treat. and
repeated it several times. Finally Teazel
becoming a little too full and quarrelsome
insisted that Ferret should complete the
epitaph. The latter seized the paper and
wrote:
"But upon one dark and stormy night,
Up slips the dovl like weasel
And down to hell he drags old Teazel"
STILL ANOTHER.
RuoKEBsvILLE, Va. July 5. 1891.
To he Editor Of he Dispatch:
The account given in your recent issue
of an old epitaph for M. Teazel seems 70
be a rehash of the old story told on Mr.
Keezel. of Keezeltown. Va. He kept O
tavern in the days of tayerns at the place
which bears his name. Late one evening a
tramp Gin those days not common) asked
for supper, lodging, and breakfast and rs
he had no money offered in lien of same TO
write his epitaph. This bargain was soon
made, Mr.. Keezel only asking payment in
advance. After few minutes study the
tramp produced as follows:
"Here lies n man who died Of late
For whom the angels all did wait
To bear him TO the heavenly gate"
He really could not finish then. but would
do so in the morning when his ideas were
brighter.
These lines so pleased the host that be
readily complied with his part Of the con-
tract, and only after breakfast, when the
tramp was about TO 90 did Mr.. Keezel re-
mind him that the epitaph.was not finish
ed. The tramp asked pardon for being so
remiss and again put on his thinking cap.
" Let me see; let me see. where had we
got?"
"Here lies q man who died OF late
For whom the angels all did walt
To bear him TO the heavenly gate"
