"Now, Aunt Sally, do please tell us why you never got married t You know you said that once when "you was a girl you were engaged to a minister, aud you rrmiscd you would toll us all about it some time. Nowj aunt, please do." - : 7;' "Well, if I ever did see such girls in my, born days. Its tease, from morning till night. You must know all about everything you haven't no business to know anything about. Such inquisitive, pestiferous critters as you are ! When I wa3 vounsrL cirls "was different; they minded their own busi ness, and didn't go sailing around with a white string of beauxs, getting their heads tilled with all kind of nonsense. I never dared to ask my aunts, mar ried or single, about their affairs. Pretty i mess I'd got into if I had. When they offered to tell rrie anything of their own accord, I keptj my. mouth shut and listen. Everything is differ ent now-a-days; young folks have no respect for elders. But os.T see Tni not going to have any rest till I do tell you, why just listen, and don't let me hear a word out of one of your mouths till I get through." j . "That's riirht, Aunt Sally, go ahead, do, and we'll keep perfectly still." "Well, you see I was about feven teen years old and I was living at Uti, ca, in the State of New York. Though I say it myclf, I was quite a good looking girl, 'and had several beaux The one that took my fancy most wa a young minister, a very promising young man, and remarkably pious and steidy. Fie thought a great deal of me and I kind a took a fancy to him; and things ran on till we were eugaged. Onrt evening he came to me I remember it as well as if it were only yesterday. When he came into the parlor where I was alone, he came to me and but, now, pshaw, girls! I don't want to tell the rct." i f "Oh,.unt Sally, for mercy's sake don't stop, tell us what he did." "Well, as I said, he came up to me and put his arms around me and rath er hugced me, when I 'got excited and somewhat frustrated; it was a long time ago, and I don't know! but what I might have hugged him. back a little. Then I felt bat just now- clear out, every one of you, I shan't tell you any more." j "Goodness, gracious, no,i Aunt Sally. Tell us how you felt. Didn't you feel good I And whatdid he do next?" "Oh, such torments as you arc ! I was like any other girl, ana pretty soon I pretended to be mad about it, and pushed him away, though I wasn't mad a bit. You must know that the house where I lived was on one 'of the back streets of the town. There was glass doors in the parlor, which opened right out over the street, and no balconv nor anything of the kind in the front of the house- As it was in the summer reason these doors were open and the shutters drawn to. I stepped back a little from him. and when ho edged up close I pushed him back again. I pushed harder than I intended to, and don't you think, girls, the; poor fellow lost his balance and fell through one the doors into the street, j Yes, it's so. ! As he fell I gave a scream! and caught him but I leclare I won't tell; any more. I'm going to leave the room." No, no, Aunt Sally. How did you catch him ? Did you hurt him mnch." "Well, if I must I must. He fell head first, and as he was going I caught him by the legs of his j trowscrs. I held on for a minute and, tried to pull him back, but his suspenders gave away, and the poor young man fell clear out of his pantaloons into a whole par cel ot ladies and gentlemen passing along the streets." j 11 "Oh, Aunty, Aunty. Lordy, Lordy 1" ; "There,' that's right, squall and gig gle'as much as you want to. Girls that can't hear a little thing like that with out tearing around the room, and be having in such way, don'tiknow enough toeome home when it rains. , A nice time the man who marries one of you will have, won't he? Catch me telling you anything again." 1 f ''" " " "But, Aunt Sally, what became of him t Did you ever see him again V "No; the moment he touched the ground -he; got up, and left that place in a hurry, I tell you it was a sight to see how that man did run. Father happened to be coming up the street at the time, and he said he never saw any thing to equal it in his ? whole life. I beard others gay he did the fastest run ning ever known, in that part of the country, and that ho never stopped or looked, behind until he jwas two miles out pi i town. V Hesontme a note a few days afterwards saying! that the en gagement must be broken - off, as: he could never look me in the face again alter what had happened. He went out West and I believe he is preaching out in Illinois. 'But he was so very badly frightened at the time he never dared to trust himself nrar a woman again. That, girls, is the reason 1 1 ev er married. I felt very bad about it for a long time, for he was a. real good man, and I have often thought to my self 'that we should always been happy if his suspender hadn't 'jiveu away?" The hot weather has produced some tall stories ; this is one of them ; "By a single incident, a pair of 'egg mer chants at Indipcndence, Iowa, last week unintentionally became poulterers on a large scare. 1 he porter suddenly heard a nois in the store-room, where there were 60,000 dozen of eggs packed away, prepartory to being shipped east, and on going to see what was the matter, found 720,000 chickens running about the floor. Thev had been hatched by the heat." More than 500,000 people bear testi mony to the wonderful curative effects of Dr.- Tierce's Alt. Ext. or Goldon Med ical Discovery. It cures Bronchitis, and the worst lingering coughs. As an An ti-Bilous medicine for "Liver Con plaint" it has no equal. It permanently cures constipation of the bowels, cleanses and purifies the blood and thereby cures Scrofulous and Syphilitic taints, and all dioases of the skin, as Pimples, Blotch cs, Boils, Hashes and Eruptions.
