A Widow in Trouble.

We have a story of real life to
give our readers-and here it is fur
nlshed in a rough way, by a cores
pondent, who vouches for its truth:
Exchange Paper.
A gentleman from other parts late
ly made tender advances to a fine
looking widow, residing in the city
Of. Having gainedher affections,
he popped the question in the straight
up and down mode of assailing wild
owed hearts. He was of course ac-
copied. and the preIiminaries were
settled. Another house was to be
selected in a more central section of
the city, and after the ceremony her
splendid furniture was TO be convey
ed TO their new home. The sutton
procured a fine mansion, and had
had it furnished with the household
concerns of bis intended, and decora-
ted with all the pride of love re-
Quilted The lady, dreaming of that
bliss which all ladies dream Of when
about getting married, and cherishing
visions of smiles by day and smiles
by night, known once before, but
long. long ago. prepared herself for
the important change.
The gentleman, not liking the man
ners and habits of the city, he being
a full blooded sontherner, suggested
the propriety cfremoving to the south.
The lady had no particular objection,
and she agreed, as it is expressed in
the good book. TO leave father and
mother and follow the stranger. So
she consented, and gave him q writ
ten order to sell, Internationally, the
whole of her personal property.
DAYS passed on. and the gentleman
ceased vIs.tingher. which fact brought
dreadful doubts to her still confding
heart, and 10 the agony Of suspense
she sought his Whereabouts. She
found him in the handsome mansion
which they had so lately decorated,
but which now displayed nothing but
bear walls. Her reception was cold
and formal: and when she trembling
Iy mentioned something about their
intended union, the gentleman swore
a little. and expressed a desire that it
should be postponed two years! His
words fell ike frozen dew upon the
bIighted heart Of the poor widow
the shock was more than she could
bear, and Keeling she fell and tainted.
The gallant loUer, instead of attempt
lng to restore her, deliberately seated
himself and awaited her revival.
When the lady recovered, the
whole truth Of the deception came
upon her-she became almost frantic,
and tore from her hair her combs and
ornaments, at the same time tramp
ling rich iewelry under her feet
Writing under the agony of disap-
pointed love. she rushed desperately
upon the fellow who had so basely
deceived her, and tore from his per-
son q handsome gold watch, which
she, in the tuiIness of her love had
given him; but he was too strong for
her, and wrenched it from her grasp,
observing at the same time, 'if you
don't behave yourself, madam, | shall
hold You monstrous uneasy?
The lady has since had the advice
of gentleman Of the green bag, but
as she gave IN unconditional order to d,
sell, she WAS told hat she could OBJ
tain no relief through the law; OH the
contrary, bringing an action against
him. she would cnIy expose hersel!
to ridicule.
