bonds of matrimony. She consented,
and started the following day with him
TO this city. On arriving here, he took
her to the residence of his mother, very
respectable widow lady, and introduced
her to his mother and sisters as his wife.
They received her kindly, and all things
passed Oft pleasantly for some weeks.
during which time she frequently impor.
tuned him to perform his promise ia
her. He put her off with frivolous ex-
cuses, until ut last the secret leaked out
that they were not married as represented
by the son.
Upon the mother ascertaining this fact,
she became highly indignant, and yery
properly ordered her to leave the house.
This the son refused to let her do, de-
claring that so long as he had any right
under his mothers roof, his doxy should
also remain. The mother then impor.
tuned him to make her his lawful wife.
This he also refused, alleging, as an ex-
cuse, that he did not believe in tying
himself to woman's aprong strings.
The mother, unable to help herself, las
she was solely dependent upon her son
for support,) was obliged to submit.
Consequently they have lived together as
best they could, up to this time. The
girl, who is now enciente, accuses the
mother with frequently abusing and mall
treating her, and asks the Mayor to in
terpose in her behalf, and compel the
woman from i'll using her; also to oblige
her lover to support her, or pay her board
in q private family, so that she may leave
her tormentor.-N. Y. Express.

THE LAST CASE OF MODEsTY.

Daniel Meredith, in q soiled coat that
might have been claret -colored once, was
desired to plead to the charge of intoxi-
cation.
"Indeed, sir" said Daniel, IL am over.
whelmed-struck all of . heap, as the
saying is. You see this crimson suffu.
sion on my conference.-the. Mere
dith's countenance was sufYused, but
whether with ingenious shame or old
Holland, we can't pretend to say that
suffuslon, sir, tells more plainly than
words can speak, the distress and an
guish Of mind l feel at being arraigned
for the low, execrable. detestable vice of
drunkenness. Sir, my ears tinge with
the word; / feel my cheeks scorched by
the damnable consciousness of my of.
fence. Oh in pity allow me to hide
my face from this respectable assembly,
and especially from your Honor, who,
being a perfect model of sobriety your.
self, cannot be supposed to have any
sympathy for the weakness of others.
My modesty, sir, is shocked above all
healing remedies. Where, where shall

wildly over the floor of the office, as if in
search of an auger hole.

Mr.. Meredith; go and take better care of

"That was spoken like your Honor.
Yours is the most exalted kind of virtue
that can overlook the nissteps of an
erring, frail fellow creature. Sir, there
is one thing more, if I might dare to
speak"

"Oh, what model of goodness !" ex-
claimed Mr.. NJ, with uplifed eyes and
hands. "Your Honor encourages me to
beg the loan ofa quarter, I'll pay it faith
fully, sir, as soon as l am brought up
again"
"This is modesty with a vengeance, g"
said the Mayor, with justifiable indigna-
ton. "Begone, you imposter and take
care that you are not brought up again,
or your sham modesty shall not save you
from the extreme penalties ofthe vagrant
act
Heavens who would have thought
that asking for the loan of a quarter
could make such an alteration z" said
Daniel, meekly, as he retired from the
tribunal.-Sumday Mercury.

SEDUCTION CASE. An exceedingly
pretty little girl, apparently but 16
years of age, wearing most bewitching
hood, appeared at the Mayors office
yesterday morning, and said she wished
to make complaint against her lover s
mother for abusing her. From her state.
ment, it seems that she is native of
Auburn, in this State, where some IA
months since she became acquainted
with the young man, Ia moulder by
trade) whom she calls her lover. They
met several times at balls and parties,
where they became acqualnted-and he,
protesting great affection for her, pro-
posed marriage, and after consultation
with her mother, she accepted the offer.
The day was fixed on for the perform
ance of the nuptial ceremony. All things
went on smoothly for several weeks,
during which time he succeeded in Sc
ducing her, which becoming known to
the girl mother, she ordered the young
man never again to enter her roof. This
quite exasperated the girl, who, in turn
declared that if her future husband could

and find boarding place where he, could
visit her. The mother only became the
more angry at this declaration on he1
part, and bade her do so if she wished
The young man was made acquainted
with the whole affair at the earliest op
portunity, and he, like . true Cheualier
offered to find a boarding place for hel
and himself in the house in which ht
was then stopping. This arrangement
was agreed upon, and the young lady
true to her word, left her mothers roo
in anger, perhaps for ever, without
parting adieu, or word. Some days sub
sequently, however, the girls mothe
traced her to her new quarters and trie'

course and return to her parental rool
but all to no purpose. The authorize
