Desertion and Aasanay.-One Of the most
distressing cases that we have ever had occar
sion to notice, was brought before the May.
or on Saturday last. We al)ude to Q young
woman, badly dressed and covered in dirt,
who had been arrested on charge of insanity.
Some twelve or eighteen months ago, this
poor creature, then the handsome, educated,
Intelligent and accomplished daughter Of
wealthy gentleman In Southwestern Virgi-
MIA, became the bride of miserable adven-
turer, against the wishes and entreaties Of
her parents, and leaving home and its com
forts, started out in the world to brave its
storms with the man of her choice. A few
months satisfied the husband that he was not
to reach the money chests of the father, even
through the love of the daughter, and he
grew tired Of her, treated her brutaliy, and
1naily deserted her, leaving her no means of
support. Not willing to return to the pa
rental roof from which she had voluntarily
fled, and being unable to procure the neces-
Saries of life by her education and talents,
the heart-brOken young wife became the vic.
tim Of another decciyer, and joining her for.
tunes with his, assumed his name and appar
rently participated in his vices. After So
journ Of some months in Richmond the gay
but unhappy criminal found herself once
more deserted and thrown upon the cold
charities of an unforgfving world. Seeing
then the depths of her degradation-feeling
that she had obliterated all right to the pro-
lection Of her relatives-and knowing that
she had forever destroyed the kind eympa-
thies Of the truly virtu0us Of her own sex,
she became Q wanderer and an outcaat, .
prey to remorso, and an object of loathing
and disgust Thus situated her MUD gave
way under Its load of oppression, and she
was found strolling along one Of the roads
between this city and Lynchburg, destitute
Of everything valuable but life. A party Of
gentlemen who saw and recognized her had
he has % undertaken M the Kind once @ 81 CORES. M
ponding with her friends aud soliciting their
sympathy and aid In her BEHALF We have
omitted the names of parties to avoid. adding
fresh wounds to the already lascerated and
bleeding hearts of the young woman's fami-
ly-but may We not hold up her fate O. bea-
con light to Others Of her sex to warn them
of the shoals and breakers which ever line
the track of those who disregsrc the advice
Of more experienced friends, and bllndly dis
obey parental commands?
