Proposed and Accepted.

MANY of the customs of the Friends are very beautiful; and while their home-life is almost without reproach, their love-making is not always even as vehement as the following conversation suggests:—
“Verily, Penelope, the spirit moveth me and urgeth me wonderfully to beseech thee to cleave unto me until death us do part. Doth thine heart incline unto me, and peradventure do I find favor in thy sight?”
“Truly, Obadiah, thou hast wisely said; and forasmuch as it is written, ‘it is not good for man to be alone,’ and because my spirit doth incline unto thee, verily I will sojourn with thee henceforth and forever.”
Such sentiment is of the kind that lasts.—Youth’s Companion.
