Peterkin's Suit.
. -
Some twenty years ago I do not
know how many exactly, but it was
some tune during the war I lieard a
story which a soldier was reading in
a newspaper to a little group around j
him, to their great enjoyment. I !
shall tell it nly i brief, though:
I remember well, the filling n was a j
good part of it, which will be miss-1
illg ill Illy recital. '
Mr.
S. C. Peterkin was a prosper
ous youngish man of business who
got ahead iu spite of his coustitu
tional modesty. This was in his
wav .in' society more than in trade,
i. was afraid of women ihnr th:n
men.. For a lonir. loner time he lias
set his heart upon a lovely young
iady whose sweetness was like her
name, which .was Violet. He had
often called upon her, aud resolved
ag;n and again that he would
make her an offer-of his heart and
hand, but as often that heart failed i
him. Through the

hesitancy and awkwardness, hut
do-or-die determination, to ask her
if she would be his. AVith reimirk
able coolness, she rejdied:
"You should have spoken long

took heart. He would have the

A year of mourning wore slowly
away. He kept his eye on the wid

til a decent interval had passed.)

So poor Peterkin retired once i

the discomfited Perk m wished the
doctor might take enough of his

walking down Proadway one ay,

from a house upon your poor bus-j

took the doctor, and promised Mr.
Bright, if anything - happened to ;
Jones, I would certainly be his.
So you see I. am engaged. I am
