( About fifteen years ago, a young sail- j or, named Johns, a na ive of, Pcnrjn, j belonged to a coasting vessel 8nih"?v J tween that port and ne?was i the accepted ?uiior of Miss Cook, a < young girl of about bis own circtnn- ( stances, ont whose personal attractions B*incd the attention of more than one i tii&n of better ftatfon...

I Among these was n dashing, young \ fellow, a professed u lady Filler," from ' Falmouth, who bad once had a quariel 1 with young Johns on account of local ' prejudice, and whose attentions to Miss Cook were at first prompted by a spirit ' of roalioe to his adversary. lie took 1 her to places of amusement, rode or < walked with her on Sundays, and en- I dcarored to make his ^tentions to her 1 as public as possible. < Humors of this had reached Johns < on some of his trips home, but as he < never saw them together, he always 1 passed tbe tales by with as little alien- < tion as possible. Once, however, his vessel anivsd in port on a Sunday even- , log, and the lover, hastily donning hin i best suit, rushed off to see his ladvdove. j Slii Was net at home, having gone to j church.

The meeting- between tbein must have been both sweet and Litter?sweet in tho , knowledge of each other's .constancy? Litter in the certainty that they must liart, for it Was now too Into to retract.
