MARRIED THE WRONG LADY.

Love Is very uncertain thing, and it is not
very safe to be too certain of the symptoms 10.
I'LL they are unmistaksble. Vienna has been
stirred up lately by the comical result of
strange love story. 1t seems that in the house
OF one Herr Kuhne, a teacher of languages, Dr.
haunt' young physician, happened to make
tne acquaiotance of q young lady, burdened
with some property and thirty years of age.
The lady being unmarried, evinced soue inter
est in the young but rather abashed DOCTOR
She made love to him; in fact, very strongly,
and persuaded him to visit her at her house.
But, alas! he loved another lady. One evening,
while conversing with him, che said:-
"With your favorable idea of matrimony,
may l ask if you ever thought OF marrying,
yourself"
DR. Kant sighed; and his eyes resting on the
ground, hesitatingly muttered in reply:-
Il have already thought OF marrying, and
made my choice, but
"But?" the lady hastily interposed
"But," he continued, the lady is rich, very
rich, and am poor am afraid could hard
ly aspire to her hand; and rather than allow
myself to be taxed with sordid designs, l will
bury my passion in my breast, and leave it un-
avowed forever"
At an early hour the following day, however,
she betook herself to solicitor, and 10 legal
form declared her wish to present and hand
over as his property the sum of l50, 900 guild
ers (el5,0O0) to DR.. Kant When the docu
ment had been signed, counters;gned, and duly
completed, she sat down in the Office, and, in
closing it in an elegant envelope, added the fol-
lowing note:
"Desr Sir: have much pleasure in inclos,ng
paper which l hope will remove the obstacle
in the way Of your marriage Believe me, &c.
"ALIcE MARTINI"
Dr. Kant-for he, and no other, was the in
divideal addressed-was the happiest man 10
the world on receiving this generous episte:
Repairing at once to the parents of Fraulien
Fischel, the lady Of bis love, he proposed for
and received the hand OF a girl who had long
been fsttered by his delicate thought and un
moved attentions. His reply to Alice Martini,
besides conveying his sncerest thanks, con.
tanned two cartes de visite, linked together by
the significant rose coored ribbon. Miss Mar
TIM forthwith sued the happy bridegroom for
restitution, but as no promise of marriage had
been made, the case was, by two successive
courts, decided against her.
TROUBLES OF NOTED WoMAN.-The New
York papers give sad account Of the fate of
the once celebrated Mrs Eaton, whose influence,
in the DAYS of Andrew Jackson, vas sufficient
to cause rupture in his Cabinet, and to pro-
duce alienation OF kindly relations between Jack.

New York, 10 the possession and enjoyment IF
