HIS WIFE.

With loves in Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Harrisburg, Syracuse, New York and Gin
Cinnati, and a plurality of engagements for
marriage, we find the dashing Harry to be,
after all, a married man-really bound by
the ties OF matrimony. While he is SPORT
ing the country over, from East to West,
there lives, in the quiet little town OF Bur-
lington, New Jersey, one of the most faith
full and eXtravagantly loving wives that
ever penned "My darling Harry" Every
day she writes to him in terms of most en-
dearing character, telling him of all her
joys and sorrows, continually pleading
with him to write to her often, to love her
ever, to be faithful, and giving toevery line
an adjective OF endearment. Some idea OF
the meanness of this affectionate wOman's
husband, may be CLEANED from the factthat
she frequently, and without success, inti-
mates how much she is in need of little
money. On one occasion she speaks of
being unable to have her trunk brought
from the depot, as she had not even twenty
five cents to pay for it. She also speaks of
her jewelry, which he had in pawn. AS a
sample of her correspondence, showing the
tenderness Of her regard for her husband,
we give the following:
.'.. wIFE's LETTER.
