N point has come under oui obser alton which
has some considerable romance about IL, and
may interest few OF our readers espe cially of
The fair sex.
A few months ago a young lady of prepos-
sessing appearance made her entree into the
fashionable circles of Saginaw, Michigan. She
va possessed Of beauty. and rumor said she
wss possessed OF houses and lands and green
backs. Su1tors hocked around her like bees
around fragrant flower, and one after another
of the young Michiganders proposed. wa re-
leetsd, and went away disconsolaie. Two
suitors, however, possessing drawer hearts, re-
fused 70 be daunted by the previous i1-fortune
Of their associates, and made love 70 the fair
one assiduously. Their opportunities were AT
last rewarded, aud they went home with the
full consciousness that they possessed The fair
damsel's true love. The young lady, however,
did not feel quite comfortable. for she found
herself engaged 10 be married to two young
men, with the law against bigamy staring her
full in the face. She tried in vain to pick a
quarrel with one Of them. They were both the
NEST agreeable OF men, refusing 20 take um-
bragg a. the most exacting of her demands.
At last the condition of affairs became unen
durable. and she resolved to rid herself of one
of Der lovers; but which one TO discard she
could not tell, for she loved them both alike
She therefore left II entirely TO the gallantry Of
the lovers. She told one Of them that she
could not marry him, and gave reasons. He
gave UP all Cldim 10 MS rfV8l.
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 wsuld she wed. So No. two was cast
adrlft. and the aforementioned luxuriated in
the smiles of his adored one. Preparations for
the nuptials commenced in earnest, the young
Michigander disbursing freely from his purse
10 defray the expenses Of the occasion. But
lover No. two, who, by the way, is q young
Hilwaukeean, threw himselfintO the m iden
way. The sight of this honest Badger COM
plerely eclipsed the charms of the Wolverine,
for time, and she returned on the evening
before her appointed wedding troubled in
spirit. She asked her lover to wait till ten
o'clock for her final decision. This he reIuc-
family consented 20 do, using az the same time
his utmost endeayors to convince her that duty
and Inclination should prompt her 10 fulfil her
vows. She at last gave a renewed promise 10
be his on the morrow, and he went home hap
py
He had gone but a few minutes when a ring
came 20 the door. The young lady went TO
answer IL. when, behold, ii was the Young

boscIn. The inmates of the house heard a
