These few words may probably serve to explain the unusual favor with which Miss Sallianna seemed to regard Verty the empressement with which she gently fanned his agitated brow the fascinating smile which she threw upon him, a smile which seemed to say, "Come! confide your sorrows to a sympathizing heart." Verty, preoccupied with his sad reflections, for some moments remained silent.
Youth is proverbially unreasonable and fastidious on these subjects, and Verty, with the true folly of a young man, could not discern in Miss Sallianna those thousand graces and attractions, linguistic, philosophical, historical and scientific, which made her so far superior to the child with whom he had played, and committed the folly of falling in love with.
Jinks cleared his throat Miss Sallianna blushed. "Really " said Mr. Jinks. "What children!" said the lady, with a patronizing air; "Reddy, do you know your lesson?" By which question, Miss Sallianna evidently intended to reduce Miss Redbud to her proper position of child. "Yes, ma'am," said Redbud "and Mrs. Scowley said I might come in here." "With this young man?" "Yes, ma'am.

"By all means there is just time." "How, sir?" asked Mr. Jinks, as they moved toward the tavern. "I have just ordered my horse." "To ride?" "Yes." Jinks sighed. "I must purchase a steed myself," he said. "Yes?" rejoined Ralph. "Yes. To make my visit to the perfidious Sallianna." Ralph laughed. "I thought you had abandoned her?" "Never!" "You wish to go and see her?" "I will go this day!"
Miss Sallianna listened with great equanimity to this outburst, and smiling, and gently fanning Verty, said, when he had ceased speaking: "Don't agitate yourself, my dear friend. I suspected this. You misunderstand my paternal counsel in suggesting to you a suspicionative exemplification of dear little Reddy.
Miss Sallianna gazed at him with a curious smile, and after a moment's silence, said: "Suppose you sit down for a minute, Mr. Verty, and tell me all about this this highly intrinsic occurrence. You could not repose your sorrows in a more sympathetic bosom than my own."
"Highly! divinest Miss Sallianna! highly is not the word; extravagantly is better! In the presence of your lovely sex we feel our hearts expand; our bosoms hem! are enlarged, and we are all your slaves." "La!" replied the voice, "how gallant you are, Mr. Jinks!" "No, Madam!" said Mr. Jinks, "I am not gallant!" "You?"
Before that gentleman was aware of the fact, Miss Sallianna had been overcome by nerves, and reclined in a faint state upon his bosom. We need not detail the remaining particulars of the scene whose outline we have traced. Verty, who had received all Mr.
This was the simplicity of our friend Verty; and he unconsciously commenced the overturning operation by saying: "Redbud, did you find the flowers you wanted?" The young girl replied: "Oh, yes!" "'Beauties of nature, Miss Sallianna would call 'em, would'nt she?" continued Verty, with a smile. "Now, Verty!" said Redbud, reproachfully.
