He liked to bring.businesa to a "focus," and he plainly told Rose that his whole' being,his leart, souljuind and brains,(such as they were,)were, swallowed up in her; that he loved her better than he did his fdther, mother, brethers, sisters, his dog, or even himself! and(if she wvnld say "yes,'" and become "Mrs., Joe Green," immediately, he should be happy at once; but if sbe answered "no,l',his doom was sealed and he shouldn't thing of stopping, i this world any longer, 'but should' vonsi er-it his duty to make immediate arrange i eats to leave life's busy scenes, and be deposit-; ed in his last' resting place—a hole - n the! ground. , Rose listened patiently.

So things went , on for nearly tbtee years. The young Fountry Apollos finally made up their minds that Rose was poor —that her purse was shallow—and, her only capital rosy cheeks and bright eyes, which might fade, some time - or other; and as for her warm heart their hearts were so cold that it wouldn't bp congeni al, So they turned their ambitions hicks iopon her.

The couple ade him the inno- cent beater of their C rroipcndence. The , ycnsn.g lady pinned a letter inside the lin ing of the old man's cloak every day, and when the father went to the counting house, and threW off his cloak, the lover lad took- out the y's epistle, read it and sent the reply back in the same manner.
