Courting a Flirt. -23 Y IL ELLIOTT at'inung Yt was-evening. Pale Luna, the sit -very queen of night, .had arisen, and was r.theddipg:herleafy rays o'er all the earth. .:The evening insects had commenced their night's sing-song devotion, and-the air • was laded vith the " balm of a thousand flowers." John Pickens and Fanny Ashley were -walking in it 'beautiful grove on the I.bankit.of the Ohio ou the evening above alluded to. 'And now, before wo tell you how they .-walkod, and why they walked, we will *lay allude to their" former history. John was a handsome and iutelligent man. Ile had adopted the profession of the law, whereby he expected to win honor and fame,-and bread and butter. John was a good fellow—in exceed ingly good fellow; but he was very im pulsive and susceptible. John had been in love at seven dif ferent times in his life ; but he had al ways managed to come out without being very much slaughtered. Poor John! he was destined to be awfully slaughtered this time. Fanny Ashley was the handsomest woman in the world. There was no mis take on this point. She was universally acknowledged to be, by all odds, the prettiest woman that ever trod on shoo leather. No person denied it. Such pearly teeth ! Such bewitching, lan guishing, love-lit, slaughtering eyes ! Such peachey, plumey cheeks I Such beautiful, crow-black, curly tresses! Such. —oh my ! Language fails to give even a faint idea of Fanny. But Fanny had one fault—one very grievous fault. Fanny was a confirmed flirt. Hundreds of the noblest and fairest of ,the land had come and flung their hearts down before Fanny, only to be laughed at and turned away. Fanny had j ilted many. ➢Zany a heart torn,smashed and bleed ing had crept from beneath Fanny's frowU and Fanny's laugh. Before we proceed further with our tale, we should perhaps say that 'twas but a fortnight since John met Fanny. They met, "'twas in a crowd." John fell iu love instantly. Did Fanny do likewise? No. But cruel, heartless, beautiful bewitch ing Fanny did worse. She by her actions, made John believe she was equally slaughtered. John asked and received permission to visit her the next evening. John went. The lawp flamed on the table, and John's love flamed in his bosom. But John didn't propose. No, 'twas too soon. John thought ho'd wait a day or two. The evening passed beautifully, de lightfully. Fanny was all smile. Her ,conversation was of the highest order. John was in ecstasies. John believed he had met his fate, - He believed he had nothing to do but propose. Poor John The next time John and Fanny met, it was at a pie-nie. lie danced with her seyersl times 'math the shade of the old magic trees. She was excruciatingly beautiful that clay. As John said, " she looked duced well—she 44, by jingo 1 ." , John Bali t# 6ll g4t be had nothing to ,do but propose. " But," thought John " I'm sure of der—what's the use of hurrying ?" And John determined ho would sail fe' days longer around the shore, and not plunge at once into the Elysian sea. Tia feared the joy would be too great —ho feared ho could not stand it. Poor John ! We will return. to the grove. John and Fanny walked on. John had de termined that this should make him the happiest man in the world. Jle intended to propose under the quivering leaves of the forest trees. He ipteuded to propose whilst pale Luna was flooding tim earth - with her silvery rays, and Whilst the grasshoppers and katydids were singing and dancing around per• And he did propose. Poor John! They walked on until they came to a log. The log ;was a foot hi g h. They sat down. In glowing oolors John painted to tho faik being the happiness of the marriage state. He had never explored it.

When they bad finished the second kiss John sprang up—he could stand it no longer—he would smother in bliss. He must come to the point. He asks her to be his . wife. - He got poetical. He asked her to sail with him adown life's tempestuous stream; and should the waves run high he would manfully battle them away. He would be by her side in all trouble and danger; lie would Pluck for her the fairest flower that g rew on the banks of the stream ; he would— " Ha! ha!" laughed the maiden.
