His Love Worth Even More.
“Clara,” he exclaimed, laying his hand upon his cardiac region, “I have long looked forward to this opportunity to , tell you that I love you with all the ardor of a nature free from guile or duplicity. Say the little word, Clara;, which will make me the happiest of men. Or, if your maiden modesty seals your ruby lips, give me some little keepsake which shall mutely say that my love is returned, and which shall he a constant reminder of this, my hour of happiness. Stay! Let it be one of your golden tresses, just one little lock of your fragrant hair.” Clara blushed, and, seeing that George took up the scissors from the table, she murmured: “Nay, George, never mind the scissors; here it is” (and she removed her affluent switch); take it. “It cost me $lO, but such love as yours is worth far more than that.” —Boston Transcript.
