BREACH OF PROMISE.

Our friend of the Tobacco Plant" refer
ring to . recent suit brought by lady IN
Mississippi, against gentleman for breach
of promise, asks how it happens "that we
never hear Of suitS for damages by deiuded
gentlemen against faithless inamoratasf Is
IT, he asks, "because the ladies never vio-
late their promises, being always too glad OF
a chance to marry, ever to break an engage
ment?" Oh, shocking! "Or is 1t, that they
are from principle more true to their word
than men7" This, he says, he don't believe
He cannot account for the phenomenon, but
so it is. He snever heard or read of suit
for breach of promise, in which the gentle
man was plaintiff. 1t is q bad rule which
don't work both ways"
Such cases are rare, but they nevertheless
do sometimes occur. A suit was brought IN
the CITY of New York, some years ago, by
heart broken swain, whose faithless love had
Tilted him. He was living, during their en-
gagement, in New Orleans, and had come all
the way from that city to New York to be
married. His journey was converted by
sweet anticipations into path of roses, and
little Cupids lowered about his imagination
day and night; but when he arrived at the
Empire city, the faithless she had betrothed
herself unto another man. "Phancy MS
pheelinx." He could possibly have sum.
moned fortitude in his soul to endure the de
ceit of woman, but thatiwould' mt pay his ex'
penses from New Orleans to New York Ac-
cordingly he brought suit for breach OF
promise, and laid his damages at Slo,ooo,
giving out, however, through his counsel
that if he should recover the amount SUED
for, he would appropriate the sum, expenses
deducted to an orphan asylum The cor
respondence between the parties came out
on the trial, and was of course published IN
the New York Herald. 1t was rich beyond
description. Such epistolary billing and COO
ing; such sugar, spice, nectar, honey and
alnbrosia, as every line of this damsels let
ter was freighted with, it is impossible TO de-
scribe. The jury, which was highly inteiii-
gent and manly, as all iuries are, did not he
state to render verdict to the aggrleveo
lover of one thousand dollars; but whether
the orphan asylum received any portion OF
it,, lever heard.
Suits for breach of promise by either OF the
sexes, are most common in that section OF
the country, where money is the standard OF
all value, and there is affixed to the heart
and affections regular market price, just
as there is to butter and lard. plaster OF
bank bills, laid over broken heart, imme-
diately heals all damages. 1t acts like
charm all round. The tickle swain is pun
ished in his tenderest point, other tickle
swains are admonished to be constant, and
the damsel, with the dover she receives from
the jury, becomes Immediately an object of
attraction in the matrimonial mart, and goes
off like hot cake.
