Mr. (Ireysark took his leavo. resolved tliat he would without delay formally propose U Phyllis, and If her au-vv-.T should lie favorable, Indite his letter to Mr. Fleming. Accordingly, the next mornlntT he poured out his soul to her. and rt-elvtsl lo r ass'-ut to hb pr'ix.s;.l. coTidiiional uin the approval of her father.

Perhaps Fleming was a strange sort of man, under a cloud, or of eccentric habits. At any rate, rhyllis was a lady, as waa her aunt, and his ardent nfT.-etlon for the simple-minded, bright-faced girl over- nri'e his little doubt. He called Mr. I'enn in. gave him In structions to show iiolxxiy ii.lo the pri vate room for un hour, and settled hiru c'if down to indite the epistle to Mr. Fleming. After much destruction of paper, he produced a:! exact account of his court ship, with a statement of his position in life, and the request that Mr. Fleming tiike a week to consider the "vital ques tion " emo.!;e l In the letter. Mr. Orey.-.irk placd 'Lis in "n cnv-l-ope h.I !rc--s.-d to RoU-rt Tienrt g, Esq., nr..! that again In an envelope which he purposed to hand to the lady at lirighton.

Tho purpose c this papier is, how ever, to present, in a succinct way, a few of the quuLntueases of pronuncia tion and construction held to by the southern people as a class. Among these the first that comes to mind is the custom of omitting the last two letter3of such words as "more," "store," "four," which are pro nounced "mo," "sto,"and "fo." " What o'clock is it V" you ask the Carolinian, and ten to one lie tells you it is " half-pas' fo', " if that happens to be the Lour. An- thcr common Southernism is the use of "like as if," or "like" for the worJs "as iL" " .She 1 joked like she knew me," is a common expression, or, fsho looked i liko as if fdic'd die."
