THE INQUISITIVE TIGER AND THE AN IMPERTINENT QUERY. * Do you know, she actually asked me if [ever posed for Dauber. * ** Well, what of that?" “What of that? Why, every one knows that Dauber is an animal painter.” LEAP-YEAR. + ©]})O YOU know it is leap-year?” she said As she looked at the rector and smiled, With a toss of her beautiful head ‘And the nalve grace of a child. ** Ah, yes,” said the rector ; ‘* I know, ‘And my heart is assailed with a fear Lest Cupid, in bending his bow, Should prompt you to ask me, my dear. “If you asked me pray how could I choose “To give but the sweetest surprise ?” * You certainly must not refuse.” ‘She said as she lowered her eyes. Outside was the roar of the street, ‘The flutter of leaves at the door ; Inside the hush, solemn and sweet— ‘The afternoon service was o'er. ‘They lingered a little apart— It was Lent, and the two were alone, Love lay like a kiss on each heart, ‘And life and the world were their own She raised her dark eyes to his face. “L want you to marry me." ‘* When?" He bent with a courtlier grace, His heart throbbing faster, and then He said, “* Dearest, can it be true?" His voice had its passionate charms ; He bent lower over the pew, He smilingly opened his arms. “Hush! Wait, dearest rector ; don’t tease. Yours might be an excellent plan, Hut I want you to marry me, please, To another adorable man,” EMMA. PLAYTER SRARURY. FROM JUDGE'S DICTIONARY.
