LOVERS TRICKS.

A 4oung gentleman originally from New
Yorktbut now residing in New Orleans, recent
ly gotitto difficulty with tho private family
with which he boarded, became tired of tho
housetand quit it in disgust. This, according
tho Weekly Crescent, was what dsgusted him
Thdgentcman with whom he boarded had a
daughter an unkimmon nice young gal -
New York attempted to "go in lemons and
did-ds far as the old man was concerned for
he ha42 good name, good situation, in cler-
ical way, and q pocket always full of money
but Nfh the girl he couldn't shine" She had
long fgo bestowed her affections upon young
man, ho, though not saleur boy, had been
I" brct}a carpenter" and was gallant and bold. "
Thinfk at last came to a focus. The father and
| Ids3-.Axr compared notes, and couldn't agree.
SavG ftheI exercised his auihorisy, and pro
no,sf8sd that terrible word "must " in favor OF
NsAffkork. The daughter, to all appearance,
succmnbed. But she conferred candestinely
with iier carpenter, young Louisiana; and the
result was one of those Vaccinations which
true love always inspires the wit
and tls1 will to do.
In other words, the lovers resorted to the
plot diabolical. The young lady began to look
upolF New York with complaisance, and finally
!" caHt around to him in manner that made
him nearly wild with joy. 1t was not long be-
fore t5e thing was fairly and squarely under
stood between Now York, the young lady, and
the old man her father. Nothing was left but
for Ne1y York to shell out for preliminaries. He
gave his intended two hundred dollars to rig
herself out for the wedding, and one hundred
to th.s old man, to purchase few articles of
Furniture, necessary to convert one of the rooms
in thcihouse into bridal chamber. The young
lady, having her two hundred dollars begged
her father 10 let her spend the one hundred also,
and he handed it over to her.
Next morning, the young lady was missing,
and upon inquiry il was discovered that young
Louisiana was missing also. New York was
not lo,g in discovering that his dulcinea, and
"thc young man bred carpenter" had flown
together for a certain town in Mississippi, not a
thousand miles over the line. lie followed with
all pos sble haste, and reached the town after
them, but before they had time to get married.
judging rightly that marriage was the object,
he bad it stopped by making affidavit against
Louisiana rs thief, and causing his arrest and
Incarceration in Jail. Louisiana of course was
frantic, and New York was proportionally
proud But the young lady it seems, had been
neither lost nor won. Going before the Justice
who had caused her lovers arrest, piteous
tale she told, and many tears she shed. The
Justice was humane, and the young lady tears
being backed by an offer of fifty dollars in gold,
he gyented her prayer-which was that he
slie-}tk-,so with her and marry her to her lover

AS tiey passed by the tavern in which New
York was Indignantly taking bis case and
awaiting the issue of events, that energetic
young man suddenly saw his faithcss fair one
in the street He set about making inquiries,
and in few moments learned the dreadful
truth. He flew to the Jail, but the gate was
locked, and as the young lady, through the
Judge, had got the town on her side, there was
no admission for him, under any circumstances,
into the Jail. And so it actually took place
that, while New York was outside, cursing,
swearing, banging at the gate and making
fool of himself generally, the idol of his heart
was going through solemn ceremony, which
made her the rib special and extraordinary of
the poor young carpenter, forever and ever.
After that, the Judge, finding that New York
was not likely to bring forward any testimony
to sustain his accusation of larceny against
Louisiana, dismissed Mr.. and Mrs. Louisiana,
and then came homo in triumph. Thewife went
to her father spunkily and told him what she
had done, and how she had done it, leaving ii
to his discretion to make as good a settlement
as he might with the doubly bamboozled New
Yorker And this concludes the story so far as
we have heard. Whether New York got his
money back or not, we arc not advised.
