The Rejected Lover.

The rejected lover (says one who has "gone through the mill") should not propose again too soon. That will only annoy the object of his devotion, who does not like having to give pain again, and has not had time to change her mind. He should remain in an attitude of respectful sorrow, letting her see by implication that his heart is broken, and his life ruined, and gratefully acceptiing the position of friend which she is quite certain to offer "him ; she always wants to b? either his friend or his sister when she won't be his wife. That only shows that she can't bear to lose him altogether. By-and-by. when confidential terms are established, and she has grown to feel Jt would be difficult to get on without his friendship, let him begin cautiously paying a little attention to some other girl. lie must be as brotherly to herself as before. Then, when he has worked up her feelings to the proper pitch, let him gently say :—"Of course. Annie, if there were even the very faintest hope that yofS could ever, in no matter how long a time, get to care for me " And ten to one he will be looking at engagement rings that evening.
