Letter to Capt. Jos. ConstaRtin.

Dear Sir-Mr. presi-
dent of eotton-mill ait Union, s.. q.
he doesn't want to see his name in
print-had two offers of 500 gallons Of
paint: 81 30 and S1.25. Took the 81. rs;
and got skinned. He'd have got
fhree-quarters skinned if he'd taken
the other.
The 81. 30 was fullgallon; the sl.25
was lS per cent short. The full-meas-
ure-paint was adulterated 40 per cent;
the short-measure paint was adulter-
ated 45 per cent, besides having benzine
IN the oil; don know how much.
Devoe lead and-zinc wasn't sold in
the town then.
1t doesn't pay TO monkey with paint.
Deyoe costs less than any of 'em:
not by the gallon, OF course; by the
house and year. That's how to reckon
It. Go by the name.
Yours truly,

However, Cornelia," she added, "un.
less your father is perfectly agreeable
and satisfied, l would not advise you
to make any engagement"
The answering of these letters was
naturally Cornelia's first afternoon
thought. To write to Joris was de.
lightful thing, an unusual pleasure,
and she sat down, smiling, to pen the
lines which she thought would bring
her much happiness, but which were
doomed to bring her great sorrow:
My Joris! My Dear Friend:
lis scarce an hour since received
your letter, but have read it over
four times. And whatever you desire,
that also is my desire; and l am de-
ceived as much as you, if you think I
do not love you as much as l am
loved by you. Come, then, this very
night as soon as you think convenient.
If my father is in a suitable temper
it will be well to speak plainly to him,
and I am sure that my mother will
say in our favor all that is wise.
What more is to say will keep for
your ear, for you are enough in my
heart to know all my thoughts, and to
know better than can tell you how
dearly, how constantly, how entirely I
love you. Yours forever,
"Cornelia."
