Love Without NonacniA.
Once upon a time there waa a fair
young maiden, whose name was Ma
ry, although thoy called her Moll,
for short Bho wasn't a tall, dark
eyed maiden, with clow, transparent
bkin, and lips like cherries, and
chocks suffused with blushes. She
didn't haye glossy hair, swocping
back in wavy tresses from bur queen

lleb's. No. thore was none of those
tiling) on tho contrary, she wits
short, and thin, and had red hair and
freckles, and Bho also sported snag
gle teeth and wore pads but still she
was a right nice gill, and there fell

prico of paufs to po flopping around
on tho wet grata with his g od
clotboa on besides, he noror carod
anything about streamlets or any
kind of cold water, except to mix
with his gin. No sir, it was exceed
ingly strange, but this infatuated
William met her at tho alley gate,
and there stood right up on his lojs
and says
"Say Moll; old gal, s'poaon wo get

But how did Mary bchavo t Did
she go dropping to sleep on tho
bricks in adoudktint, or did slio hidu
her geutlo hand on lus uliirt bosimi
to conceal her bluri'.io.t t No, she
didn't, and she didn't nay, "I ara

"I'm in Willy j I'm thogul for these

Anil instead of referring him to
her father, hlio only said,
"Won't tho old man bust r!;;ht
out when you tell him f Hal ha!"
and she laughed.
But she didu't ask William to try
lo molify her fund father. No, no.
Sho very w ickedly advised bim to
"P'iko tho old gentleman in tho nose,

was a funny girl, this Mary.
Now, tho old man wasn't wealthy,
for ho sold soap fat for a living, und
so ho didn't think Bill was nomng
around for his stamps i so, when
Bill anted him, ho neither orderod
him fiercely away, nor did the dewy j

her al on;,', for lie was glad to get rid
of her, ho was, nnd William would be
the sumo mighty soon, for nho was
awful rough on victuals, and always
broke plates whun she got mad.
.So you see there really wai no ne
cessity for William to como at mid
night's solemn hour,, in a cab, and
throw a rope ladder up to the win
dow, and whihtle, three times on his
lingers, and then go up hand, and
bring her down in uno hand and her
trunk iu tho other, and a baudbox
and umbrella under each arm, and a
whole lot of bundles, and then get
into tho cab, and lly to soma distant
Hhoro. That's tho way it would have
been in a novel i but Bill said he
wasn't on that lav, so ho just went
out iuto tho yard, und out of ptiro
joy he skinned the cat thrco or four
times on tho grapo vino orbor, nud
then went and got his butcher curt,
and drovo her right down to tho
magistrate, to get the job done for a
quarter for ho said ho was bouio on
tho low price, he was.
But tho very queerest thing of all
was that Bill had no tall, dark ruf
fianly rival with a slowling visngo
and black whiskers, who lluw nt him
with drawn dagger and a hor3o pis
tol in each hand, aud a muttered
curse upon his lips, and cried wildly
for "Revenge I Ha! ha! nnd said
"Death I'T md "Villain, thou diest!
Not any. Thore was another fellow
in lovo with Mollio, to be sure, but
ha was a weak-eyod young man who
bad lanur hair and wore cpeciucleg
and a oboUo collar, ana always look
ed acareJ when you hollered at him.
so, when he aatr that Bill had the
best of the girl's affections, bo looked
all serene, and said, "(Jo in Billy, if
