What She Was to Jim.

At the county fair a young lady and her beau were promenading about the grounds, says the Mount Carmel (Ill.) Register, the young lady carrying the buggy whip in one hands decorated in a most noticeable manner by a vivid gxeen bow. They presented a verdant appearance, and it was rather difficult to decide which bow was the greener, the one on the whip or the one walking by the young lady’s side carrying the red shawl. A shower coming on suddenly, found the young people without a convenient shelter. A good old lady called to the girl to “hurry in out of the rain if she didn’t want to get soaked,” to which the dear young thing was heard to reply, looking lovingly all the while at the “green bow” at her side, and not the one on the whip. “This little bit of rain can’t hurt me. I ain’t no sugar nor salt, but I’m somebody’s hftney; ain’t I. Jim?” If Jim didn’t say yes his looks showed that he thought it.
