A Married WON rams Pavors.

How little do the rc=iaents Of such a crowd
ed city as this tsays the Boston MaiD know or
imagine the trials and Temptations that besst
the puth of the young and inexperienced, and
the artful and skilful manner in which mar
ried people are occasionally done by their
dissatisfied and warm -bloOled counabial part
ners. Reports Of new cases are reaching US
almost daily, where households arc broken up,
and bloody noses and cracked heads abound
IN profusion, from the discovery Of the ictul-
gence of unlawful passions on the part Of
those who are forgetful OF their marriage
VOWS. But believing that a general publicl-
tion of tntrigues dc amour is not conducive 10
virtuous and healthy public appetite. sTo
refrain from speaking of such cases unless We
consider them Of particular interest TO cur
readers. The following case is TOO good 70 be
lost. llJfla -.f 1-.
Somo time sinee-it matters not when ex-
actly-there resided in Biadcford, Me a
young and lovely damsel, Of such brilliant
beauty that she was eagerly sought after and
fattered by all the married and unmsr ried
rakes in town-making her believe that God
never formed a child in 80 delicate and classic
mould for physical labor, and she shoull
therefore amass gold and silver, the eostliest
of dresses and Jewels, by her fascinating beau.
~. Alas : the bait was but too tempting, end
she fell. She soon became the inmate Of a
house Of pleasure in this city, where she was
seen and loved by a man, who, for the want
of a more appropriate name, we shall cali
GraSs-(though he no doubt claims to be
somewhat more surs, at presently
The courtship, as may well be imagined,
was but Of short duration-for the girl, de-
| lighted with the idea Of Honse, and Grass,
believing that he had found an angel in petit
coats, the marriage rite was performed without
delay, and the happy couple took board in
Lowell streer Now Mr.. Grass could not have
done q more unwise thing, for a boarder in
w nj VT mo- ria.a Ixrs sls,
name Of O., who to add to his other dangerous
qualifications among the daughters of Eve,
possessed form and features most comely 70
look upon. ...
The motto Of Grass-prompted no doubt
both by industry and necessity-was 'early to
bed and early TO rise, and the sun, had it
ever had modesty enough to blush, would
have often given way to such emotions, on
finding itself preceded in its morning raInbles
! by the light-headod-we beg pardon-we
meant light-hearted and unsuspecting hus-
band! .... ..-. - ...
The labors and inolinations of C. prompting
| a different course Of action, his motto was
''to bed and rise-aceOrding 10 circumstan-
| ces.'1 -r. f.-
After knowing the peculiarities Of the above
| characters, and that the lodging rooms Of Grass
| and the printer were rather Familiarity located,
| We think the reader will not be greatly sur
/ prsed to learn that the lady, moved by COM
| passion for the loneliness Of the young man
| during the "duH gray mornings of the past
l few weeks, considered il her philanthropic
l duty TO see that be should be wrapped in arms
| of greater warmth and more cougenial 10 his
taste than those of Morpheus. Under this con-
| structien Of her ideas of duty, she for some
| time paid her morning visits of mercy, with as
much regularity as the biz boots Of Grass
| clumped down stairs ID the taps Of the seven
i 0 clock bell.
But in q large boarding house there is al
| ways sure TO be some one about with sharp
eyes TO keep posted in Advance Of the press in
the dOings and sayings uf those who, are not
| oyercareful in their conduct. l., a young
boarder, congratulating himself that he had
"smelt a mice" set his tran for Tat, but
| being bluffed of with what lie considered
rather unnecessary indignant modesty, he
"peached" on the iniulgent lovers to IT, has-
band, and brought a whirlwind about their
heads, the like of which they had never seen
| or read of.
The husband suddenly returned 10 his room
the next morning, and finding his vie in the
| act Of leaving il, he commenced with his
1 strongest argument first, by knocking her
down, and following up his advantage after
her partial recovery by pulling her hair and
| boxing her ears.
Hearing the cries Of his "ladye lore" c.
rushed into her roOm-without finishing his
toilette gallantly defend her, when Grass,
| who is a three-fsted muscular fellow, left his
wife and pitched into the lover like MiSsis-
| sippi steamboat into a sandbank- c. ran for
his life back into his own room, crying muir
der'' at the top of his voice, but before as
| sistance reached him from the other boarders.
| he was treated with such a beating as is sell
dom received outside of the prize ring
| To avoid further trouble from the same
quarter, Grass and wife now took board at
| another house, and L., the informer fearing
| to have passed over to him the dose that G..
had received from the infuriated husband,
took his departure at the same time.
Since the above occurrence c.. has been on
| the constant lookout for the cause of his pun
| ishment; but with one exception only has
been unsuccessful About eight clock on
Tuesday evening, 1. suddenly entered an Of
fee where G. was seated, and to the astonish-
ment Of every one present the latter sprang
towards him with the ferocity Of a wild cat
| And now came the tug Of war, Both parties
ran down one street, through a second, and up
q third, impelled by the most powerful of mo-
| tive-love of life-and the most deadly re-
venge- The loss Of life, however, had the
best wind and escaped, but G. says it is only
for few days. In the present aspect of af-
| fairs we are looking every moment for the re-
4 ceipt Of startling news Of " assassination'-
" horsewhipping >" death from fright"-or
"a printer has bit off the nose OF an enemy,
and has been bound over TO keep the piece"
