Mr.. Editor, two of our girls went to visit
one of our bachelors recently, and it seems
that they were determined that he should
repay the visit, as one of the girls left her
gloves at his house go he would have to
bring them home to her. The bachelor
found the gloves after the girls left, and
be took his clothes brush and busted them
of, then wrapped them up in bis silk hand
kerchief and laid them away. He says
that the owner can get her gloves if she
will only come and stay with them.
That's right, friend bachelor, hold on to
those gloves until she says "yes." He
went to see one of the girls last third Sun
day night, but do not know whether she
promised to 60 and stay with her gloves
or not. The bachelor says that be hasn' t
got but three things that he is proud OF,
and that is his mules and chickens and
the pair of gloves. :.

A certain young mau went to see cir!

door but be failed. and Mr.. II. had to hold
an umbrella over the old gentleman while
he craWled into the window to unlatch

were quite troublesome that time.
