A fast young man 'deckled to makc a formal offer of liis band and heart, - all he was worth. He cautiously prefaced his declarnlions with a few questlons: Did she love liim well enougli to live in :i cottage with him? Was she a good couk : rm iiJC ujluk t a wife's duty to niake home happy? Wottld she e&n&ult his tastes and wishes concerning her associatesand piirsults in life? Could she tnake her own eloUies? etc. The young lady said that before she answered his questions she would teil him of some negative vlrtues she possessed: Slie never drank, smoKed or chewed ; never owed a bilĂ­ to lanndress or tailor; never staid out all niglit playing billiards; never lounged on Street corners and o;led idily iris; never "tood in" with the boys for cigars and wine suppers. "Now,'1 said she, rising indignantlv. "I am aseured that you do all these things, and yet you expect all the virtues !n me, while you do not possess any youraelf. I can never be your wife;'' and she bowed him out, and left him on the doorstep a wiser man.
