DID HE PROPOSE?

‘What is it? he demand, vaguely staring around him.

‘You've drawn the big doll!’ cried Sibly Perey, dancing up to him, and laying in his:urms the huge waxen ab-! omitation, with its flossy vellow curls, and imposing white complexion ; while romebody els brought the big trunk and little bandbox.,

‘Its just like travelling with a wife,’ said Sibly, mischievously.

‘And what the~ahem! what am ] to do with it? asked our bewildered hero.

‘(tive it to somebody,’ asid Sibly, in- wardly hoping he would act promptly on the sugve-tion, and bestow the prize on her. ‘Any one would be delighted to receive sucha present.’

‘Goeat stupid fellow? cried Sibly spitefully, and she tripped buck to her table. saw sucha goose,’ said d three sis-

‘T never Laura Barrington, who had ters of herown at home.

‘But what am I te do with it ?’ said Mr. Ellerslie to himself, as he traversed the wittry gloom of the midnight strects.

‘Oh, Lhave it! lll give it to Fanny Clea—and sie can make a Christmas

present to ber little black-eyed cousin!’

And he laid the doll, rejoicing, on a sofa, and went to bed, sinking into dream land just about the time that Fanny ‘‘lea was teking the hair-pain-~ out of her magnificent golden hair be- fore the dressing bureau in her own apar{ ment.

‘Why. Fanny, what ails you?’ cried Dora, her ellestsister. ‘ You’re crying.’

‘Tm xo tired,’ guiltily confessed poor Fanny. .

And she wept herself to sleep, think- ing how foolish she had been, and that of course Martyn Ellerslie didn’t care a straw about her. Why should he ?

Mr. Ellerslie rose the next morning full of bis momentuous resolve, and made such « toilet, that the landlady’s little boy, seeing him go out with a big doll, neatly encased in a pastebeard box, under his arm, ejected, profanely : “Oh, my eve, what a swell!’

The black-eyed little cousin admitted him. Yes, cousin Fanny was at home —would he walk into the parlor ?

Aad our horo, before he had tairly made up his mind ia what terms to be- stow bis iit, tound himself bowing to a fair-headed vision ina sunoy little room, surrounded by heads of cut flow- ers,

‘How do you do, Mr, Ellerslie ?’ said Faony, coloring and smiling, ‘fam making bquets, you see, for to-vight.’

‘Exactly so,” said Martyn, and then he reflected) how mach more appropri- atea remark be might have made, and turned very red.

‘Pray sit down, said Fanny.

‘{—1, the fact is, Mixx Clen,’ said Mr. Ellerslie, plunging in sheer desperation into the midst of bis subject, ‘I have called —1 b ope you won't be vexed —you have only te say so, if you don’t like it.’

‘foeony dropped her sprig of helio- trope, and looked up in surprise.

‘T kuow itisn’tof much consequence,’ went oo M., Ellerslie, turning the paste- board box voued and round in coufusion, but if you ll accept it—T’ve koown and esteemed you so long, and

‘Not of much consequence, Oh, Mr. Ellerstie ! she repeated reproachfally.

‘Would you care for it ?° he demand ei, quite oblivious, in the embarrass~ ment of the moment, that he hadn't even named the gift.

‘Care forit ?’ the tears sparkled into Fanny's eyes, ‘when you know that l love you Martyn.’ And she ran into the arms of our astonished hero,

When he went down the door steps he was an engaged young man, and as fate woull have it, the first personage against whom he stumbled was Guy Barnes.

‘Hello! said Guy, ‘ what's up ?’

‘Don’t speak so loud,’ said Ellerslie, passing lis arm through that of his friend. ‘She’s engaged to be my wife.’

‘Who is?—the diviae Fanny, the fairest of her sex.’

‘Or course, who else should it be ?’

‘Bute! course you propose,’ persis- ted Guy. ‘ People always doget a little flurrird you know.’

‘Do they?’ - Well, I suppose that was the case with me. ButI don’t remember

‘Oh, don’t be such a ninny!’ said Guy Barnes impatiently.

‘} wish L could remember just what [ said, though,’ observed Mr. Ellersy lie.

And even after he was duly married he never could quite recall whether he propose or not. Bus as long as dear little Panny was ail his own, what did itsipily.

T. J. B. Harprxe, Esgq., Brockville, Ont.:—

DEAR Sin—It is now two. years since your “Cons ‘itutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “too good to true.”

1 was aiflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. - Tn reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars, ‘The inward ‘drop’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothermg and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1576, I secured three bottles, Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle | found decided re- lief, aud when [ had -sed two bottles and @ third. I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have uot used any since until of late I have taken som for a celd in my head

A sense of duty to surterc rs from that leath- some disease, Catarrh, prom me to : ye this + eects, unsolica with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper’ Yours truly, . 7
