A "WAnNiNa to Lovers.--"Metildy, you nro the most good-for-nothin', triflin', owdacious, contrary piece thatever lived!" ? j ?*uh, ma," sobbed Mutiiua. "I couldn' help myself; I c?uldn'!'' "Ctouldn' help yourself? That's a pretty way to talk! Ain't he a nice young man?" "Yes'm!" "Got money?" "YeB'm!" "And good, kin folks?" . "YeB'm" "And loves you to destrackehun?" "Yes'm!" "Woll, in the name o'common sense, what did you send him home for?" "Well, ma, if I must tell the truth I must, I s'posc, though I'd ruther die. You sec, ma, when he fetch! his cheer clost to mine, and ketch holt of my hand and squez it, and drop on his knees, then it was that Iiis eyes rolled, and ho began breathin' hard, and his gal? lowses kept a creaked and a creak in', till I thought in my soul some thin', terrible was tho matter with his in'ards?his vitals?and that flustered and skeered me so that I burst out a cryinV Seoin' me do that he creaked worse'n ever, and that made me cry harder; and the harder I cried the harder he creak? ed, till all of a sudden it came to me that it wasn't nothin' but his gallowses, and then I bust out a laughin' fit to kill myself, right in his face; and then he jumpt up, and run out of the house mad as fire, and he ain't com in' back no more. Boo-hoo! ahoo! boo-hoo!" "Metildy," said the old woman, sternly, "stop snivlinl You've made an eyerlastin' fool of yourself; but your cake ain't all dough yet. It all comes of them no 'count, fa? shionable sto' gallowses; 'spen? ders' I believe they calls em. I Never mind, honey ! I'll send for Johnny, tell him how it happened, 'pologize to him, and knit him a real nice pair of yarn gallowses just like your pa's?and they never do creak." "Yes, ma!" said Matilda, bright? ening up. "But let me knit them." "So you shall honey! He'll vally them a heap more than if I knit 'em. Cheer up, Tildy! It'll all be right!? you mind if it won't." Sure enough, it proved to be all right. Tildy and Johnny were married, and Johnny's gallowses never creaked any more! A Montana Justice of the Peace doesn't splurge any when ho mar? ries a couple. He says: "Arise? grab hands?hitched?six dollars!" And that's all there is to it. An aged negro nurse and a cook, formerly slaves of the Polk family, were present at Mrs. Leonidas Polk's funeral the other day. They came from a distance to attend it. ill BOOKS FOB THK PEOPLE, Father Kemp's Old Folk's. Concert v_ Tunes. (40 Cento/) CONTTNENTAL HARH0NY-$1.60.
