The dearest wee foot I have e'en seen la shoe I've seen fairy feet, but oh, zouu's! The tiniest foot that e're dimpled the snow Is merry and sad Mrs. Brown's. Oh, who is it wears any happier face, As she scatters her smiles nil nroun In spiteof an aching heart throbbing within. Than my sweet little friend, Mrs. Brown? A laughing, asighintr machine on the fly Is stitching up grand ladies' gowns; 'Tis music to me, for it goes with a tread And the delicate tread's Mrs. Brown's. It's but little she dreams, and still less docs she care. With her laugh and hcrsighs sodeepdown, TJow they thrill every chord la. this lone heart of mine; I'm afraid I'm in love, Mrs. Brown. rornsu the question. Curious and Ludicrous Ways in Which It i Sometimes Done. Examples) Which May bo of Value to tho Feint-Hearted Young Man Woman's Adroitness in Treading On the Bashful Suitor. Sir Arthur Helps believed tliM never siiur the worl.l bewail did two lovers make love in exactly tlie same way as any other two lovers. Whether he is right is equally beyond proof of disproof. Certainly no question has been put in a variety of ways as the most momentous one a man can ask or a woman answer ; how it is put de pending upon time, place, circum stances, and the temperament of the individual concerned. A MARRIAGE WITH A GENEROUS MO TIVE. A curious marriage proposed was made by a reverend bachelor who en tered tho matrimonial state on his death-bed. "When iu his seventy third year the minister had a severe attack of paralysis, which left him so weak nnd helpless tha feeling that his end was not far distant, ho pro ceeded to put Ids worldly affairs in order, llis parish being au exceeding ly small one, and having been always a most liberal man, he had not much money to leave, which circumstances, had it not been for one reason, he would not have minded. For the last twenty years he had had a3 housekeeper, a steady, sensible woman, who had served him honestly, tended him like a daughter during his illness, and for whom he had quite a fatherly regard. It was on her ac count that he mourned his property. It would have been a matter tur tnank lulncss could he have left her as much as would have supported her comfort ably and respectably in her old age 6he was now about " forty-five. Alter weighing ami considering the matter for some weeks in every possible light, a way out of the difficulty suddenly flashed upon hint ; and, knowing the precarious state of his health, he re solved to execute his purposes at once. He called his housekeeper, and when she entered the room he made her sit down; and after telling her how anx ious and sorrowtul ho had been be cause he had no money to leave her, he continued : Ot courso you are aware that there is a minister's widows' Itmd, so that if the husband dies, his wife will have au annuity during her life. Xow,sup poaing you marry me, and although I uni almost iu at death's door, you will be amply provided for ju the future. "Will you consent to this?" ".Master, dear, you must be doting I "What would people say?" 1 was never moio serious iu my life, Mary ; and 1 am sure people will say we have both tic ted wisely iu the matter. Take lid the evening to think it over, and then bring mo your au swer." In the evening Mary told him she "would take him." So, ten days after they were married, and three days later the good old man died ; but his widow still enjoyed her share of the "widows' fund." A SOLDIER'S PROPOSAL. A young officer was dancing in a set of lancers in a crowde I drawing-room with an extremely pretty girl, to whom he made himself most agree able After the dance was over, ho took her to a chair, and seating him self beside her, began to mourn his celibacy. "It is exceedingly easy to remedy that," said she. "I don't think so at all ; in fact, I do not know a girl who would marry nie." She laughed .and replied : "Just go and ask some one here to night, and I venture to say you will be accepted by the lirst." "Ahl I am not so sure about that. But will you take me?" ."With pleasure." And a lew months later they were married. 6HE CHANGED IIEU MIND. A m? goo i-natnred doctor was des perately in love with, and had been twice refused by a fair-haired little woman. But instead of the disap pointment curing his love, it only made the passion grow more intense. After the last refusal he told her that if ever she changed her miud to let him know, as his love for her wa3 unchangeable, and he would be proud 5" r is - " s y v i tr. .r - For Vice-President of tie Med States, : S v ' viS - ' ' GEN. CHESTER A. ARTHUR. OF USTTETW TOEK. to Ikj her husband. Some months later he was driving homo from seeing a patient, when he saw his lady love riding in his direction. Supposing slio would merely bow and pass on, as she had often done before, he did not pull up his horse. But the moment Miss Dixon came, up to him she reined in her horse, stopped, and called out; "Won't you stop, Mr. Hill?" He raised his hat and replied : "1 shall be happy to do so," then J waited lov Iter to speak She was gazing at the ground and blushing deeply, but, quickly looking up, she lilled the doctor's honest heart wall surprise aud gladness by say ing : "Dr. Hill, I have been closely watch ing you lately, and seeing nothing but goounc!?s au i .noble mindeduess in your character, and believing you will m ike au excellent husband, i am willing to marry you."

Mr. Smith, coining all the way from Australia on the lookout for a wife, saw a young governess on - board a Glasgow steamer, whom, from her kiuUuess and attention to some chil dren under her charge, lie fancied would suit him. So he weut and in troduced himself, and taking a seat beside her, said : "I am tiity-threo years of age; have an income of a thousand dollars a year; am a toial abstainer from intoxicating drink : have a good house near Mel bourne, and all I want is a good wife to complete my possessions. "Would you mind taking me?" She quietly replied: "I have no objections." Aud a lew uays later they were made one. NOT TO BE FOILED. A young man of about twenty-seven years of age, with neither money nor the prospect of getting anv, came to the conclusion that the best thing he could do would be to marry a "rich wife" and live on her money. Among his many acquaintances was a widow lady of about twice his age, with three children, but with a steady income of two thousand a year. Her he resolved to marry, and, in order to cultivate her friendship, he took her presents of tlo'weis and fruit, and gave the chil tiren Looks aud rides on his horse. The lady kindly received his attentions gave hiin the liberty of her house, and treated him like a younger broth er in every respect. The young fel low, interpreting her kindness to suit himself, an 1 believing he had nothing to do but ask her, ventured one even ing on tho subject in the following manner : "I wonder very much why you don't remarry, Mrs. L ." "Simply because no one wants a willow with three children." "I know, one who would be proud to have you and your dear children," said the wooer, feeling the worst was nil over. "Indeed, you are most flattering this evening." "Xo; I am mot flattering. I love you, and would be proud to be your husband." She looked coldly on him; tlieu re plied : "You mean you would bo proud to own my money, sir. I have been vast ly deceived iu you." Then pointing to the door, she continue i : "Leavo my house; an I while I live never dare to re-enter it." QUAINT AND LUDICROUS PROPOSALS. "When Lord Strangford sat down to criticise a book of travels bv Miss Beaufort, ho little dreamed that be fore long he would write to the young authoress ; "I was thinking tho other day about a communication from the Emperor Akbar to the King of Portu gal, which contained a request for copies of the holy book of the Chris tian?, and in which the following sen tence occurs: 'In the world of hu manity, which is the mirror and reflection of tho world of God, there is nothing equal to love or compara ble to human affection.' For many years I have felt and known this, though I never said it till to-day to any one. When you next write, please give me the possessive pronoun of titc iirst person." Surely never was a declaration made in quainter fashion, saving perhaps, by the Scotch beadle, who led the manse housemaid to tho churchyard, and pointing with his finger, stammered: "My folk lie there, Mary; wad ye like to lie there?" Or the lugubri ously humorous Irish lover who took his girl to seethe family vault, aud then aud there asked her if she would like to lay her bones beside his bones. Louise de Suvoie popped the ques tion to Bourbon, but had to take ".No" lor her answer, the constable curtly declaring that the disparity of years between them, and his own feelings, rendered the union impossible. A lady's proposal. If ladies sin against propriety in taking the initative, they can hardly be blamed for bringing a shilly-shallying or over-bashful lover to point, when a good opportunity presents itself. Such au opportunity sufficed to end what had been a somewhat te dious courtship. The young man, paying his usual evening visit, asked his lady love how she got along with her cooking. -Nicely," replied she. "I'm improv ing wonderfully, and make splendid cake now." "Can vou ?" said tho young fellow, isnorautly rushing on to his fate. ""What kind do you like best?" "I like one made with flour and sug ar, with lots of raisin, currants aud citrons, and beautitully frosted on the top," responded she. Why, that's a wedding enko I" cried he. "I meant wedding," said she : and there was nothing left for him to say he meant weddiug, too. WOMEN FIND A WAy. Equally cleverly cornered was tho Western man whose girl told him she was a mind reader; whereupon ho naturally inquired if she could read what was in his mind, eliciting for reply: "O, yes! You havo it in your mind to ask me to be your wife; but you are just a littlo scared at tho idea." It is plain the notion did not scare her any more than it did the Gallo way girl, who, when Jack, coming in to the kitchen whilo sho was prepar ing breakfast, said: "I tlnufc I'll marry ye, Jean !" answered ; "I would be mnckle oblige! to yo if yo would!" and so concluded tho bargain, not even stipulating like an other ready lassio on accepting as sud den an oiler : "But ye mauni gie me my dues o conrtin' for a' that, Jamie." The right of courtship is ono out of which no woman ought to allow her-" self to bo defrauded. PROPOSING BX PKOXV Little as faintheartedness in a lover may be to the liking of a fair lady, it is suflicicntly flattering to bo condon ed; hut when any Caleb in search of a wife chooses to sue by delegate, ha assuredly deserves to lail iguomiu iously. Love is not to bo won by an attorney, and oftentimes tho attorney has thrown his client overboard and can-lid off the prize himself, as hap pened when William Grimtn weut courting in his brother's behalf. Hooker escaped that risk by leaving everything, even tho selection of the lady, to Mrs. Churchman, who found him a wife and achieved a son-in-law herself at the same time. Proposing by proxy is the rule, not the exception in Greenland. Time was when tho Grcenlanders won their wives by capture; but since their conversion by Danish mission aries, they have become the tamest of wooers. Now a candidate for the holy state goes to a missionary, and tells him he want3 a wife. "Whom?" asks tho missionary, and learns the woman's name. Sometimes the man answers : "Yes, she is not unwilling ; but thou knowest womankind." Usually the answer is "Xo." "Why "have you not asked her?" in quires the missionary "It is difficult ; girls arc prudish; thou must speak to her." Accepting the office, the good man sends for the girl, and after a little conversation, says : "I think it is time to have thee mar ried." The girl declares she has no mind to wed. "That is a pity," says the mission ary. "I had a suitor for thee." Of course the damsel is curious enough to want to know who tho suitor may be, and of courso her curiosity is sat is lied. "He is good for nothing," sho ex claims, with a toss of the head. "I wont have him." "But," tho go-between urges, "ho is a good provider ; he throws his har poon with skill, and, moreover, ho loves thee." Still pretending to be obdurate, the girl answers that she will not consent to tho match. "Well, well, I will not force thee; I shall soon find a w4fe for such a clever fellow," says the missionary, making believe there is an end to the matter. The girl does not go. She stands silent for a littlo while, then in a low voice 6ighs out : "Just as thou wilt have it." "Oh ; it is as thou wilt ; I'll not per suade thee," replies the clergyman. Then, with a deep groan, the maid en says "yes," and tho matter is set tled. A CANDLE FR0P0SAL. Dumb declarations are in vogue too among the Boers ot South Africa. Mr. Anthony Trollope tells us that when a young Boer goes in quest of a wife he puts on his best clothes, sticks a feather in his cap, provides himself "With a bottle of sugar plums and a candle a wax one if possible mounts his horse, rides to tho house holding the young woman he would honor, hangs the rein3 on tho gate, dismounts and enters. To mako the point quite clear, however, he offers a candle to tha daughter of the house. If she takes it, it is lighted; the mother sticks a pin in tho candle to show how Jong the young people may re main together without iutcrruxjtion, and she and everybody else retire. Chambers' Journal. The Domestic Uonthly for August. It might not seem unnatural if the sultry weather of late July and early August had the effect of diminishing the fashion intelligence of the world, but it is evident from the pages of the Domestic Monthly that nothing is far ther from the mind of the fair sex than the intention of forgetting, simply be cause the thermometer is in the nine ties, the necessity of attending to the demands of the toilette. A large variety of ladies' and chil dren's costumes and garments is pre sented, with full and precise descrip tions and instructions as to making them up in light summer fat Tics and other material. The remainder of the fashian department is divided into fall articles, seasonable fabrics, trimmings, shoes and slippers, millinery, coiffures, lingerie, fancy and art needlework, &c, nearly all of them fully illustrated. The literary department maintains its standard of excellent ' family read ing. The present serial by Ellis Con way will be followed by a singularly fascinating narrative in two parts by Mary Ainge De Vere. This author contributes a charming poem to the present number. There is also a poem and a story by Eben E. Iiexford. an in teresting Art Paper by Mrs. Merighi, and a striking paper on Secrets, which will be read with sspecial interest by all who think it possible to keep their own counsel in this age f progress.
