A FAST YANKEE.-An eastern Paper pub
fishes the following story: "a gentleman
living at Saint Joseph Island was engaged to
be married to pretty French girl, aud the
banns were published in the Catholic church
on certain Sunday The next day. Yam.
kee made bet of $lCO with a friend that
he would marry the girl himself The money
was placed in the hands of third party: the
Yankee called upon the young lady and pro-
posed marriage She answered that her be-
throthed had already given her $40 with
which to buy bridal costume, but she did rot
like him very we'll. The Yankee overcame
this difficulty 10y handing her a like amount,
and adding thereto another forty dollars, re.
marking, There's his forty dollars. ard I'll
20 forty better" The lust SAY" Of the YAM
kee overcome the scruples OF the young lady;
she took the Yankees money, returned the
forty dollars to her old lover, and was mar
rled within an hour to his competitor But
the best of the joke is that the ST. Joseph
Islander was not entirely distanced, although
beaten at his first game, but successfully
co"rted the sister of his first fiancee and was
married to her in the course Of a month.
