The lovers' telegraph. that mania which swept down upon Toledo like a hurricane, has at last moved away like a thund usd cloud and now the country towns are cateh- ing it, At Blissfield, the girl whom Elijah's cousin Fonzo goes to see; had a line of this lovers' telegraph stretcl hed from her window to the alley fence in the rear of the honse, and there Fonzo would sit and shiver and whisper sweet words of love to his Loocy, and she gushing with tenderness and love would whisper ever and anon over the Wires, "Oh, Fonzo, I'm so glad this telegraph was invented, for now we can talk and whisper swe t consoling words of love to each other, notwith~tanding the fact tint papa, the cruel man, has kicked you out «f the back door, and wont let yon come into the house any more nor speak to me." But the other day the old man, who had read about the lovers' te legraph, discovered the apparatus while prowing aronnd Loocy's boudoir. He put his wouth to the instru- ment and whispered : "1s that you, Fonzo dear ¥ Ag fate wonld have it, Fonzo was there, and he replied : "Yes lovely darling.

"Can't I come in and see you then precious 77 + No, sweet, it would not be prudent, but I will come and see you," #4 Oh, will you, Loocy. this telegraph was honey 77 Then the instrument was laid aside, and Fonzo struck a graceful attitude on a dry- goods box, with hit back to the direction from which he knew Tis Loocy would come, for he knew the dear girl would come up and throw her arms about his neck and kiss him, He heard her footsteps, his heart commenced prancing about in his breast like a frisky goat on a barn floor, but he pretended not to sse her. «Ix it you, darling 7" asked he.
