DEAD GEORGE.
A young- lady living in Yorkshire dismissed the young man to -whom she was engaged, because he drank. A few days after she had told him she would never see him again, a little boy brought a note from the wretched young man. The note read — 1 Faithless, yet still beloved, Fanny,—My sufferings are more than I can bear; I cannot live without your love. I have, therefore, just taken poison, the effects of which 1 am just beginning to feel. When yon read these lines 1 shall have joined the great majority. See that I am
decently buried, and slied a silent tear over my tomb in remembrance of the happy days gone by.—Your dead George.” When the young lady had finished reading the note, she asked the boy who brought it what he was waiting for. u De gemmen tvhat sent it told meter wait for an answer” was the reply.
