THE "AGopE or LOVE- IN England
There il in one Of the villages OF England,
called Spaxton, we believe, curious eStab-
lishment, called "Agapomene, or the Abode
Of Love" What sort of love abideS there
we are unable to say, whether 1t be the aus
tcrc love Of the continent Shakers, or the
more alluring deity of the modern Tree 10y
ers." The head Of the institution IS Mr..
Prince. and the jewellers in his Agapomene
are sometimes called PrlncelteS. The name
gets into the newspapers sometimes, connect
ed with claims about property, and proceed
mrs to get possession OF wives, who, aban-

entering into which, the new corners make
deed of transfer OF their whole estate TO the
lord OF the establishment, with condition
that it shall be absolutely forfeited to him II

sisters, getting tired of the connection, with
drew, and wanted TO ret back his wife too,
not forgetting her money, some tToto,
(thirtv thousand dollars, Of which she ought
TO be possessed. The lady wont leave the
happy retreat, and the gricying husband
made application to the police to compel
Mr.. Prince 10 restore her. But the stub
born woman went before the magistrate and
testified that she remained Of her own free
will and she was accordingly permitted 10
70 back. The husband, however, was II
sturdy Welshman, who would not give up
50, and organized Il plan for carrying his
wife away BY force Of arms to the lawful
abode Of coniugal love- bat he found her So
carefully guarded. Whenever she walked
abroad in the garden, that he had to give II

now takes is IN application or suit by the

fortunes OF two others o.: his sisters. who
