Then there is the dashing, spirited style of courtship, that is generally very attractive, especially to very staid and dignified women. Again, there is the die away, sent, mental style, particularly popular with school girls and all oilier girls whose head are well stored with trashy novels. There is deferentail, half-sad and respectfully tender hothage that a blase man of the world (ruefully con- scious of how lie has wasted the car- lier part of his life) offers to Some fresh young girl, whose sweet wo- manhood stirs up all that is noblest in him—in whose clear eyes be finds.

There are some who win by storm and sonic subtlet there are so many modes of court- ship that I will make no attempt to enumerate them, but will willingly give my reader a few instances that rise to my mind of curious courtships or curious episodes connected with courtship. I know an elderly bachelor who, after devoting mi st of 1 is lift to o - tics, came to the conclusion that he ought to marry and settle down.— Accordingly lie made selection of a very attractive young lady, to whom lie commenced paying his address s. The roll of sighing gallant did not st very well on him, however. He had so long and so deeply immersed himself in politics flint the scent of politics hung around everything lie said and did even around his love- making. At length the time arrived when lie thought lie ought to put the clima to his attentions. Availing himself of an interval when the coast was clear (even Hie ubiquitous younger brother, who dogs the foot steps of his sister and lier lovers), lie prepared himself for a plunge into the momentous question. He arose seized the back of his chair; and as public assemblies, he grasped out: “Tellow-citizens.-—”, His suit was unsuccessful; on what grounds I do not know.

EL SPEIR, SHOE MAKE ASTON, GA, that their son-in-law had done them a great favor in remaining with them and allowing his wife to do so. Speaking of a man marrying a wealthy girl brings to my mind the advice given by a Virginia judge to Iris son : "Now, my son, I don’tadvise you to marry for money,” said the Judge, "but while you are falling in love, it is just as well to fall in love with a rich girl as a poor one." This suggests again a striking remark I heard a very sagacious lady make not long ago. She was speaking of matches between voting girls and old men. “People sometimes say that the bride is really attached to the old throughout the multitudinous throng that filled the spacious area, At length there was a pause.

In the olden time, when a South - erner’s chief wealth consisted of no- groes, there was a young Virginian who owned two negroes, one named Bill and the other Fortimore (for in centric names.) The young man took Bill with him as a body servant, on a courting expedition. On his being questioned by the kitchen cabinet as to his master’s resources Bill succinct- more" (forty more.) which double entendre being misunderstood, as the i African Caleb Osbaldistone intended it should be, was only reported to the circle above stairs, rendering the fa- ther of the young lady increasingly gracious to the man who seemed des- ! fined to bring him so many "negroes- in-law,” as a wit of the day express ed it. ] Speaking of curious courtships, I must not omit one of which I heard |a few years ago. After laying his suit before the lady of Iris choice, the |young man concluded his pleading by offering the following induce ments : "If you will marry me I prom ise to make you a devoted husBaid, land to supp ort myself." It is a remarkable fact that no mat- |ter how o t n a man is discarded, lie will always find some ingenious so lution for it whereby to salve his wounded vanity. A man who had been discirded innunterable times, at length found tt fair partner, and on lier referring to his former failures, he solved them with admirable inge- unity, in a way that removed the sting i from himself, and at the same time afforded it handsome tribute to his |bride: "The fact is, lily love," said he, '"it was a want of earnestness that act ed as a barrier to nie throughout my courting experiences till I met you.

A gentleman of my acquaintance tells me lie has struck upon a plan which greatly lessens the risk of court- ship. It is this: When you project courting; make a list of several young ladies; placing the most attractive one! first on the list, etc. Go to No. 1 and pay her your addresses, but do not let her suppose that you are a hope- less, helpless captive entirely in her power. On the other hand, let her know that although you admire her above all others, you have a second and even a third chance in view, should you lie disapproved in your first.
