ALovER DIsCoMFITTED.-The follow
ers of every branch of business always
have more or less joking among them
selves. When q number Of young men,
for instance, are brought together in
one room where they follow the partic-
ular vocation they may be engaged in,
they will have their jokes among and
about each other; and it very often hap
pens that some incident will occur that
will interest and amuse those outside
their circle Printers like jokes; and
when they can saddle one upon fellow
typo, their ecstacy knows no limit. A
case of this kind transpired last Mon
day evening in this city, and we con-
slider it worthy of recital. Two or three
months since one Of our gay and festive
typos became alarmingly enamored of a
sweet and buxom lass Of sixteen gentle
summers there or thereabouts-who
was paying a short visit to some friends
in Wheeling. While the charming lit
tie "duck"-Typo called her "ducky"-l
remained in the city our dashing Young
Lothario was constantly worshipping at
her shrine, whether upon the street or
in the parlor on the ottoman at her feet.
Wherever 1--WE will call her Minnie, for
short) Minnie went, Typo was sure to
90. Minnie she went home one day
and here the poetry ends, for Typo
could not follow, and with sad heart
and heaying bosom he alighted from the
balloon of aerial bliss in which he had
been TRANQUILITY waiting along, seized
parachute and came back to earth to
resume his daily and nightly toll and
it so happened that the first item he set
up after landing upon this terrestrial
sphere was one about woman being
arrested for drunkenness, who was
lodged in the lookup. Typos heart
was mellow. He said "it was too bad"
He said he could not understand why
a woman would do that"-and then his
heart commenced gushing. That same
heart has kept up q very considerable
"gush" ever since up to last Monday
evening, when he was informed that
the object of his hearts alteration had
arrived in town. But before we launch
out into this sea of nectar to take sly
sip of its sweetness, let us pause and
cool ourselves with little explanation.
She had come! She had come to spend
a week OF two! Typos co-workers in
the ''art preventative" had heard of it,
and knowing so we'll the longings and
warnings of the young mans soul, they
bethought to joke him. They crnelly
did so. They told Typo that she was
here. and that she desired him to call
upon that (Monday) evening, as she
would leave the city Tuesday morning
at six o'clock! Typo was at work, and
he could not leave it unless some man
filled his place, and he could find no
one. His heart Immediately collapsed.
In tone that would have drawn tears
from a stone, he exclaimed, Boys, you
don't know how feel; you may laugh |
at me, but-but-I must 60 and see
Minnie !" The "boys" commiserated
his condition. They could not help it.
Since he had been informed of her pres |
ence in the city he had set three or four
lines, and Minnie's name occurred about
every other word. He trembled in
every limb. His heart beat-all. He
perspired freely. Finally he obtained
permission to 60, when he donned his
best "bib and tucker" and flew upon the
wings of love to nestle at sweet Minnie's
side and bask in the sunshine of her
smiles-but Minnie had gone to church
Typo was sorry, but said he would fol-
low her. He went to church, for the
first time in seven years. 1t may be a
little strange that Typo suspected moth
ing at Minnie's absence, after sending |
such o touching request that he call
upon her. But Typo didn't. Love is
blind-and Typo went to church, OBJ
tanned seat, scanned the congregation
and finally his anxious eye rested upon
his divinity. All, ha, how happy then
was he! He swelled up like toad
and watched her. His eyes "was sot."
After long watching and waiting, the
benediction was pronounced, Typos
heart commenced to bob, he took long
breath, stationed himself at the door,
saw her coming alone, swings his right
elbow to be sure it is flexible, is just
raising it for her sylph-like hand to en-
Irvine itself around, when in steps an
other gent who carries off the prize.
Perhaps the only remarkable feature of
this affair is the fact that Typo has
broken out with the measles.
