"You can't do it, EJ, ; h0 won't nsTt her; he's awful shy. Why, lie came hy hero the other niorning when I was hanging out clothes, and ho looked over the fenco and spoke,, biit when I shook out a nisht eown Im blushed like a girl and went away." '1 think I can manage it," fiaid Ed. ; but I have t lie just u little. Kul itien. it wouldn't be much harm under sucli circumstance, for I know hhs likes liitn, and lie don't dilike her, but, as you vav, tie s so any.

Wilbur. "Good morning Mr. Smil 7." "Good morning, M.

Words cannot do justice to panr 15 !1 or paint the cxpresiion of his face (is ho sat there completely dumbfoucded at his piece of ill-luck. After a while he stopped out of his boggy, nud get ting down on his hands and knee?, looked diver into the water.

Well, he must try and gt them some how, and no time to he lost for some one might come along nnd ask him what ho was fooling around there for. lie hud no notion nf spoiling his cloths by wading in with them on ; and besides, if he did, he could not go t tho widow's fiat iiigiu ; s.i he t.ir li a look and u -vii viip nviu ui see mat no cue was s;ght, and then uiidretsid -himself, h i i . , . in iv i' g his tl-.thcs in the buggy tj keep them clean.

Then his coat fell out and he slipped it on, nnd then making a desperate fp'.irt he clutched tho hack nf the seat and scrambled i", an.l pulling thn bnO'il r-be over his legs, stuifed the i-lher thing boi.e.uh.

JOHN R. KIL3Y. Sketches of the lives of man who deeply impress Ihe ago iu which they live, are exceedingly valuable. They stimtilato other hearts and lives, espec ially when it is made to appear that buc cesi has been attained iu the midst of obstacles seemingly insurmountable. The lata Hon, Kichatdson Kilby, hose plmtograph appears above, was a man of mailt. His name is a house hold word in thousands of families in Tide-water Virginia j and far beyond tho limits of his native State, lie was famil ial ly known ns an honorable man and counselor, ar,d as a made I CluUtian gen tleman Mr. Kdby was b.-rn in tho county of II mover, Virginia, on the !51st day ol IVcember, in the year, lSl'.l, and de parted this life ia Sull" ilk, Va., Decem ber liih, 1878. He was born of honorable parentage; and he might have enj iyed the best ed ucational advantages of his times, but fur the early death of b's f.ither. His wldoaed mother having to assume thn solo care fa number of small children, found it impossible U give to them more than a few sessions of tuiti r.i in what is called "as old fie! I school."
