done up tout West but also, because, unlike most
other reports upon ''out West" | vouch for
the truth of it, being well acquainted With the par
ties concerned.
A young clap III Il hcfgii'orlng town oi our
'W ovcrenc State had for Il long time been pay-
ing ss ''partickcler'' addresses to Young lady "a
WHOM he was cngagcl-For long time things
went on swininSly, until wtIiina fcw months when
Tor some cause tile match was broken ur-whethcr
at the individual inStigation of the Young lady, or
the mutual agreement of each, depouert saycth
not. Young ''Gentry," however, was determined
not to be loscr IN the operation, and accordingly
presented to his ''laithlcss ducina' for payment a
long bill of charges which he had occurred in .ca-

With true "Woman's Rights spirit, the lady
caslled the above, and hadit duly receipted-merc-
ly rcmarking that 'justice would demand that he
should bear at least half the livery hire, as he
certainly enjoyed the rides as much as herself
There is a lesson of wisdom in the above to all
'yomg Gents who shall find themselves in the
starvation with this unfortunate youth-viz:
'.jiltcd" How infinitely wiser the course that he
pursued, than if, with despair pictured on his coun
enancc, and a hempcn rope in his hand he had
rushed to the woods, and suspended himself from
SaSsafras limb to the great inconvenience of his
breathing apparatus, or perhaps hurled himself mad
~ down the abyss of the mill pond, and become
food for catfish and poll ywogs, or far worse, in
his unmitigatcd thirst for revenge, deprived some
of the domestic animals of their "caudlc appenda-
gcs.'' Learn wisdom from this We Suicidal swans."
There is another thou -l of considerable impor-
tancc suggested by the abovc-whether or no.
those ladies, Il should shy womcn) who are con-
stantly ranting about their "abuscd rights" and
prl wing to be raised to ..lcvcl with man. would
be willing to share half the expense of their gal
lantings with the other sex!
would state, for the further information of the
public that this Interesting swain has lately ia
ken a "rib," who, he boasts ''has dimes cnuif to
keep him without workin, shood he live to be as
old as Mctliusalv."
Yours for ''NIodcrn Progress
