We had . delightful stroll up Broad,
way apd about Union Square while she
explained the mystery. In a thou gltless
moment, she had answered matrimon-
ai advortsement IL Of ffeby tke to 1fr or
note. The advertiser desired an inter
view; but she was afraid, and preferred
to correspond for a while first. The let.
ters written BY her unknown friend were
exceedingly good and she, being ro
mantle, became deeply Interested in him.
He professed to be an artist, poor, but
having expectations, and suffering from
i'll health. In this character he excited
her womanly sympathies, her love of ro.
nance, aud her hopes for the future;
while the lofty spirit of resignation and
Christianity which his letters breathsd,
quite captivatcd her. At length. after
repeated portunities, she consented to
meet him; and if they were mutually
satisfied, to marry him private y-a step

which might be destroyed if his marriage
were known before a certain will was
opered. .g.n- l.. e
The day before this first interview was
to have taken place, she received MY
note, warning her of Morgau's real char
acter. !"
Well, I found her delightful ac-
quaintance, and her gratitude to me was
so great, that (ty a little delicate diplo-
macy) she persuaded her father, Presi-
dent of Wall Street banking house, to
get me very good position therein-a
place that suits me much better than my
Mail Station clerkship.
Lizzie is now my wife, and advises me
to publish this as q warning to young
girls who have fancy for answering ad
vertisements.
