Going out and coming IN
A SrECuLATIoH.-Thc following incident actually
took place in Baltimore few weeks since As an evl-
dence of the truth Of the event is said that the com
panons Of the young woman We're not long n di1coy-
erng that OF their number all OF a sudden lc't
their ranks.
"How do YOU sell these foFers?" said good looking
stranger of one of the southern States pretty lit
tie dansel in the market who had hitherto been com
PEELED to sell pinzs posie- and similar notions honestly
to maintain herself and family.
twenty-five cents, sir" said the maiden holding up
to the gaze of the stranger sweet-5ccnted bunch.
"Cheap" said The gentleman.
Indeed they are" said the maiden.
$50 much 50, that I cannot possibly CONCEIVE no"
you can make 4 living at the business"
"Ah, sir said the pretty damse the times are so
hard that we are compelled to do the best we can BF
economy sir we manage 10 get along. Did those who
live in geriug palaces but know how severe is the
lot Of the poor and detected might, perhaps get
trine more for our labor But alas! sorry am TO be
compelled to say IT, truly, justice Is phnd, ana aim IN
deed is the vision of opuieace'
Here the stranger touched by the powerful remarks
of the pretty flower gi was seen 10 drop ms head,
and Leu fall tear Of sorrow. Recovering however,
he continued as follows:
Here my pretty one why not tlIn your attention to
something more protmble:'
~ know not what sir, said the girl
"Why not turn your attention to speculation.|
But know not what kizd sir,' said the girl, and
If did, ann not possessed Of the capital
CON said the gentleman, ''there are some kinds Of
speculation in which to meet success capital IS not
required.
Name it sir
Marriage
"Sr," aid the little maiden ''my chances in that
kind of speculation are poor-poor indeed
perhaps not so poor you imagine
II have now on my hands Il dear father and mother
to support by my little earnings, and to marry youth
as poor myself would only be heapng misfortune on
our already over-burdened shoulders
''But perhaps, in the search you might fall in with
some one who has of this worlds treasures than
yourself"
o. "But get him, modestly articulated the girl!
'''Twere an easy task, ii he loves you."
"But where shall find him? Which way shall
look?"
Here my pretty one said the gentleman, at the
came time throwing his eyes upon the young girl IN
such manner as to leave no doubt on her mind that
she was adored by the stranger.
The couple became morelntlmate with
each other The stra Ger bought the flowers Of the maid
en- and, as a compensation, he gave her fortune oil
one hundred thousand dollars, with written contract
that himself should be thrown into the bargain.
They are now man and wife-the aged parents are
cOmored in their declining years-the maiden IS M
longer obliged t0 vend her nosegays-aud the stranger
doubtless blesses the hour he visited the city Of monu
ments and went to buy the bluoeyed maiden'5 charm
ing flowers.
