interesting and attractive enough to heartily
repay you for your trouble in writing to me.
win give you short sketch of myself
My parents died and left me at an carly age,
to combat with the world, with but few
friends, and no dollars. / serveda an ap-
premiership at the printing business, in my
native town-R-- r, Va. Soon az
ter commenced my career as journeyman,
I became acquainted with strolling Thcs-
plan Troupe, and joined the company as
their funny man. On account Of the OBJ
jections of relations, however, soon aban-
doned them, and applied for an engagement
in Irregular" theatre, at /, as Low
Commedian, which obtained. My friends
still opposing my theatrical career, retired
from the stage and became country edi-
tor. n ike most of that unfortunate class,
how lEr, found that the profession was
not as profitable, pecuniarily, as l could
wish, and gave up my paper in disgust
At present, have situation as book keep
er; in Horizon, Wis. All I need, now, to
make me perfectly happy, is nice little
wife; and hope you may, upon further
acquaintance, love me we'll enough to sup
ply my want. am sure shall love YOU.
HENRY FoNrAINE.
"Would you answer it, Nell:"
"Just as you choose. You will do Just
as you please any way. Ibelieve would,
though, for am half in love with him, my
self. but We will discuss this subject at
some other time, for it is time we went to
our Algebra class" .....
Strange to say, Mollic failed that day, in
her lesson. Miss Duplaine was surprised, as
Mollie was one of her best scholars. Our
recitations for the day being over, the SUBJ
ject was fully discussed in our room, and
Mollie proceeded to answer the letter. The
next week, school closed. Reader, do you
remember when you parted with your school
mates-left the scene of SO many happy
hours? The girls were busy packing their
trunks, exchanging pictures, and bidding
good byes. Mollie and were to travel to-
g.ther as far as Columbus; our trunks,
theref, r., were strapped, and we were wait
ing for the stage, which came at last, and
we commenced our journey. At Colum-
bus, we separated. took the morning
train for Tennessee, and she the evening
train for Virginia.
For nearly year, heard nothing more
of Mollie's love affair One morning, how
ever, received letter from her, containing
the news of her marriage with Henry Fon-
taine! She also wrote me that she and her
liege lord would soon be with me for short
visit
After anxiously watching the cars for a
few days, | at leugth welcomed them to my
home. We all enjoyed the visit famously.
Mollie persuaded me to accompany them to
their home in Wisconsin, where spent the
remainder Of the summer very pleasantly.
When we arrived at Horizon, Henry
sent wedding card to the Argus Office
Mr.. PoMERoy, the editor, inserted an elabo-
rate and highly complimentary puff, which
was written in his characteristic style
| Whether the ''bountiful supply Of rich
wedding cake" and 1.-The basket of spark
ling Catawba, fit for the Gods" had any
thing to do with the puff, l have never
learned
Henry and Moll;e are enjoying er great
an amount Of welded bliss as usually falls
| to the lot of mortal beings.
Reader, you have learned show Mollie
Munson found a husband"
