"THE COMING ."--In the imagi- nation of every young lady, the coming man is handsome young officer with pearly teeth, coral lips, rosy cheeks, cur ly hair, blue eyes and black moustache, who is dying desperately in love with her, and who is coming some day on a pran- cing gray horse, with long flowing iall' to propose to her. Money is no object. for the thought of money does not vulgary intrude itself into the young lady's ima- gination in connection with her Coming Man, only he must be beautifully dressed. and have handsome riding whip, and iingling spurs,and neatly-rolled whiskers, as tight as watch-springs. Alas! how many thousand are still waiting impatient. ly, and yet confidently for the advent of this Coming Man Punch.
