Still, Joe was not to be "headed off,"
or wade to wait and pine for weeks and
months in dubious uncertainty. 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

the eyes of many others. Seen through

took himself and' bi 4 hat through the

Rose in answer told him plainly, that he
must never expectanything from her to

surprise; be showed his cloven-footed de
sign, and was dismisied.
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;

with the aanghter of his employer, but,
for certain ideas of wealth, n match was
opposed by the father. The consednence

was that the yenta man was forbidden
to visit his employe 's house. The old

cloak. The couple ade him the inno-
cent beater of their C rroipcndence. The

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
