Rested Her Head.

There was a social gathering at a Bockland house the other evening, and among those present was a young man from Boston, who had come down for a season to rest his intellect, and daring the evening he cprraled a pretty girl in one corner of the room, and laid himself out to talk her dizzy and impress her with a becoming sense of his superior style. He rattled along for an hour or two about himself, the girl now and then improving a chance to pnt in a monosyllable, and the yonng man thought she was getting tolerably awed, when the father bore down on the pair and anxiously exclaimed: “See here, Maria, y6u must be careful—you really must. Bemember that you’ve been sick sot a fortnight, and the doctor said if you came here tonight you must make no effort at all—you must keep your head rested.” “Pa, dear,” returned the pretty girl demurely, “don’t worry. lam not exerting myself at all. 1 have been talking with Mr. Beacon. My head feels nicely rested.” And the young man from Boston soon after exensed himself, and went up-stairs into a dark room and leaned his head against a window pane and tried to think.— Rockland Courier.
