A Model Letter.

This is what may be called a sample practical affection. True love is not content to bask in the sunshine without an umbrella handy in case of rain. The following letter is a sample in question: “ My Dear Husband: I got here last night all safe, and was met at the station: by uncle and aunt. They were so glad I had come, but were sorry that you were 1 not along. I miss you so much. We had hot rolls for breakfast this morning, and they were so delicious. I want you to be so happy while lam here. Don’t keep the meat up-stairs. It will surely spoil. Do you miss me now? Oh! if you were only here, if but for one hour. Has Mrs. O’K brought back your shirts ? I hope the bosoms will suit you. You will find the milk tickets in the clock. I forgot to tell you about them when I came away. What did you do last evening? Wefe you lonesome without me ? Don’t forget to scald the milk every morning. Ana l wish you would see if I left the potatoes in the pantiy. If I did they must be sour by this time. How are you getting along? Write me ail about it. But I must ckwe now. Oceans of love to you. Affection-, ately your wife. “P. B.—Don’t set the teapot on the stove.” —Danbury Nrnxs
