JOSIAR.

I never kin-forgit the day _ , -Tfyat we went out a-walkin', 'An' sot down ■on the river _bank, >"' An' kept on hours a-talkin'; He twisted up my apron-string, An' folded it together, An' said he thought for harvest-time JTwas cur'us kind o' weather*. The sun went down as we sot there— Josiar seemed uneasy, And mother she began to call: "Loweezy! O. Loweezy!" Aii* then Josiar spoke right up, As I was just a-startin', 'An*- said: "Loweezy, what's the use Of us two ever partin'?" It: kind o' took me" "by surprise, An' yet I knew 'twas comin' — I'd heard it all the summer long, . - In every wild bee's hummin'; I'd studied out the way I'd act, - But, law! 1 couldn't do it; I-meant to hide my love from him, But seems as if he knew it;- ---' An* looirin! down into my eyes : He must a seen the fire, An 1 ever sinec that hour I've loved An' worshipped my Josiar. —Hartford New-S.
