The PcrpleXity OF Double LoVe-Trou'
B,cs of Young Lady with I W .

% From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
II has been said that "the course of
true love never runs smooth" What shall
be said, however, Of the course OF double
love? A case in point has come under
our, observation which has some considera-
bic romance about ii, and may interest 4
few of our readers, especially OF the fair
sex.
4 few months ago young lady OF pre-
possessing appearance made her entrce
into the fashionable circles OF Saginaw,
Michigan. She was possessed OF beauty,
and rumor said she was possessed OF houses
and lands and grccnbackS. SultorS lock
ed around her like bees around fragrant
dover, and one after another Of the young
Michieanders proposed, was rejected, and
went away diSconSolatc. Two Sultors,
| however. possessing Drawer hearts, refused
! TO be daunted by the previous ill-fortune
of their associates, and made love to the
fair one assiduouSly. Their opportunities
We're at last rewarded, and they went
| home with the full consciousness that they
| possessed the fair damScl'S true love. The
Young lady, however, did not feel quite as
comfortable for she found herself en-
gagged to be married TO two young men,
with the law against bigamy staring her
full in the face. She tried in vain to pick
4 quarrel with one Of them. They were
both the NOSE agreeable OF mon, refusing
to take umbrage at the most cxactng OF
her demands.
At last the condition of affairs became
uncomfortable, and she resolved to rid her
self of one of her lovers; but which one
to discard she could not tell, for she loved
them both alike. She therefore left it en-
tirely to the gallantry Of the lovers. She
told one of them that she could not marry
him, and gave reasons. He very gallantly
gave up all claim to his rival. But the
Young lady did not know her own heart,
for she soon sent for him again, and vowed
that him only did she love, and him only
would she wed. So No. was cast adrift,
and the aforementioned luXnriatcd in the
smiles of his adOrcd one. Preparations
for the nuptials commenced in earnest, the
young Michigander disbursing freely from
his purse to detray the expenses of the oc-
casion. But lover No. 2, who, by the way,
is young Mlwaukiean, threw himself
into the maidcn's way. The sight OF this
honest Badger completely cclipsed the
charms Of the Wolverine for time, and
she returned on the evening before her APP
pointed wedding troubled in spirit. She
ask ed her lover to wait till 10 O'Clock fol
her final decision. This he reluctantly con
sented to do, using at the same time his
utmost endeavors to convince her that duty
and inclination should prompt her to fulfil
her vows. She at last gave a renewed
promise to be his on the morrow, and he
went home happy.
lie had gone but few minutes when a
ring came to the door. The young lady
went to answer it, when, behold, it
was the young representative from the
"Crcam City," He extended one hand for
friendly greeting-she extended both
arms and fell-upon his bosom. The in
mates of the house heard noise at the
door, and went to see what Occasioned it
but all was dark and silent, and nothing
could be found of the fair young bride
She had gone forever from the gaze of the
Young Wolverine, and she, with her hus-
band, arrived in Milwaukee few days
since, wife, fully convinced that she had
made right decision in her choice Of
partner for life. If she docs not change
her mind before the honeymoon is over
we will be very much mistaken.
