CONYERS,GA.. THURSDAY OCT IS), 1870.
Pcnping the Question.
•Why doi t yoi get married 7 said n
bouncing girl with a laughing eje, to a
smooth faced innocent youth.
•Well, 1- said the >oulh, stooping
■holt with a grasp, nnd fixing his eye,,
on vacancy with a puzzled and foolish
eiprt ssinn.
• Well, go on,’ said the fair cross ques
tioner, inclining, almost imperceptibly,
war to the young man. Now just ten
nir right out you what 7
•Whv, I—pshaw. I don’t know.’
•Yon don’t know, 1 sny you do ; nos
•ome John, I want to know.
•Oh, I can’t tell you.’
‘I say iou van. Why, you know 111
never mention it ; nd yon may tell of
me, of course, you know, for haven t 1
always been your fiiend V
‘Well, you have, I know,’ rep’icd the
poor beleaguered joalh.
•And I’m sure I always thought you
liked me,’ went or, (lie maid n, in tender
ami mellow accents.
‘Oil, I do, uprin my word ; you, indeed
I do, Maria,’ said tin* unsophisticated
youth, very warmly ; and he found that
Maria had unconsciously,placed her hand
in his open palm.
Then there waa a silence
•And then—well !’ said Maria drop
ping her eyes on the ground.
‘Eh V Oh. well’’ said John dropping
his eyes and Maria’s hand at the same
time.
‘l’m pretty sure you love somebody in
fact,’ said Maria, assuming a tone of
raillery, I know yon are in love, and
John, why don’t you tell me all about it
at oncet'
‘Well, I *
‘W<ll, I——oh 1 you silly mortal, what
.is there lo be afraid off
‘Oh, it ain’t because I'm afraid of any
thing at all; I’ll—well, now, Maria, I’ll
tall yoa.’
•Well,"now, John.’
‘Yes.’
‘I lam in love ! don't tell; you won’t
will you T’ said John, violently seizing
Maria by the hand, and looking in her
lace with the most imp’oring expression
‘Why, ot course you know, John, I’ll
never breathe a word about it; you know
I won’t, don’t you John ?’
This was spoken in a low whisper,
and the cherry lips of Maria were so near
John’s ear when ho turned liis
head to look at her, there might have
occurred a serious collision.
‘Well, Maria,’ said Tdfp, ‘l’ve told you
now, and so you shall know all about it.
I haye always thought a groat dual ot
you, and ’
‘Yes, John.’
‘I am sure yon would do anything for
me if you could.’
‘Yes, John, you know I would.’
•Well, 1 thought so, and you don’t
know how I’ve wanted to talk to yen
about it.’
•I declare John, I—you might have
1 old inn long since, if you wanted to;
for I never was angry with you in my
life.’
‘I know you wasn’t, and 1 havo often
felt, a great mind to, but ’
‘lt is not too late now, you know,
John.’
‘Well, now, Marin, do you think I am
too young to get married ?’
‘lndued I do not, John ; and 1 know ii
would he a good tiling for you too, lor
everybody sms the sooner young people
get married the better, whm they are
prudent and inclined to one another.
‘That’s just what I think, and now,
Marin, 1 do want to get ludrried, and
you'll ’
‘lndeed I will John, for you know 1
was partial to you, and I have often said
so behind your back.’
‘Well, I declare, I have all along
thought you won and object, and that is
the re tson I have been afraid to ask
you.’
‘Object! I'll die first ; so you may ink
of me anything you please.’
‘And you’ll grant it ?’
‘Then 1 want you to pop the question
for me to Kate Sullivan ’
‘Wiutl’
‘Eh!’
‘Do you love Kate Sullivan?’
‘lndeed I do, with a I my Le.'irt.’
‘I always thought you were a fool,’
•Eh!’
‘I say you are a fool, and you had bet*
' ter go home. Your mother wants you
von—you Stupid !’ exclaimed the mor
titled Maria in a shrib treble ; and she
gave poor John such a slap i*t the face
'that it sent him reeling.
Unhappy Maria—the course ot true
love never did ran smooth.
