A Fable

Once upon g time a fond mother dis
approved of her daughter marrying,
says Yong's Magazine This was the
more awkward because the young lady
had picked the young man out. Also
he had wealth, And the mother, who
was widowed, had not the wherewith-
al to furnish her daughter with the Va
riety of frocks and things whish her
youthful heart craved.
4 might not object to the man SO
much" said the mother one evening
if you would only let me see him. But
here is man whom l have never set
eyes on, and yet one whom you insist
on taking for husband. I don't IN
derstand such serCecy!"
Replied the daughter: IF l ever in
troduced him you'd insist on marrying
him yourself"

Her BaShful Beau.

An intensely bashful young man was
driving one evening with a young lady
whom he had been calling on for some
time previous. The stiffness of the ey-
ening and the beauty Of the scene
around him inspired his courage, and,
sitting stiffly erect and with his face
forward, he asked suddenly: May
kiss you?"
Surely" she coyly replied.
"Aw," he said his face scarlet, and
larruping his horses to a run-"aw
was only foolin'. "-Lippincott's.
