VULGAR RoIANcING At SARAToGA.-N'
find the following account Of the first obi
Of romance" at Saratoga, this seas IN, il
the Saratoga P0st OF Monday:
among the first arrivals this season wa,
4 gcntleman'y chap-adorncd with all the
dignity and maguitcencc that the barber and
tailor are capable of investing the man with.
He put up at one Of the first class houses
and commanded all the respect and attention
that his apparent character entitled him TO.
His foreign airs ca led attention to him from
the visitors, and when approached his mo-
dcst but cold dignity rcpulScd them politely
leaving them to conclude that he was some
well bred noble, who would no: be disturbed
in his rcverics by commonplace approaches.
The ladies were the first to find out his no
bilitv. Every politeness was shown hin,
and his room was fragrant with boguets by
fair hands formed Yeti ion was COY and
cold as ever. until one evening while wan
dcring near the Circular Railway, met the
lovely and wealthy Miss -, Of GA. BY
occideHt the lady had lost her bracelet in the
path, and it would be ignoble for him TO re-
fuse to help her find it. They sought in
vain for the bracelet until il was too dark to
longer look, and fatigucd they sat together
on the seats in the grove. The lady forget

own, suggested her suspicious of his noble

mother. For week they were always seen
together-and who for the last few days has
walked beneath the splendid pines on Circu

father saw the attachment, and was not sur
priScd when the pretty Miss informed him
her hand was asked in marriage-and she
craved his consent. That consent was given
but not, however, until the old gent had
thought full five minutes upon the propriety
of enquiring himself into the pecuniary
condition of the suitor But what use,
said the daughter, of enquiring-is he not
a lord-and how insulting it would be to
even suggest that money was any considera-
ton for giving away your daughter The
Old man thought as thought the daughter,
and both slept that night surrounded with
visions of splendid cas,i,s-gay parties, Ii
vericd servants, and exclusive greatness

the first meeting after the consent to be
disturbed by one of the proprietors of

the lord for day with Il say, Bill, you
lousy skunk, why the ID did you leave the
road when we were short of hands, and

The lordly airs dropped-the lady's head fell
on her snowy bosom, as with faint shrek
she fell back into the arms of The father
