Married the Wrong Lady.

Love is very uncertain thing and it is not
very safe to be too certain OF the symptoms
until they are unuistakaDle. Vienna has been
stirred up lately by the comlcal result OF a
strange love story. 1t seems that in the house
OF one Herr Kuhne, teacher OF languages,
DIR. Kant, a young physician, happened to make
the acquaintance OF a young lady, burdened
with some property, and thirty years OF age.
The lady, being unmarried, evinced some interest
in the young but rather abashed doctor. She
made love to him, IN TACT, very strongly, ana
persuaded him to visit her at her house. But,
alas he loved another lady. One evening,
while conversing with him, she said:-
with your favorable ideas OF matrlmony,
may / ask if you ever thought OF marrying,
yourselfW
DR.. Kant sighed; and his eyes resting on the
ground, hesitatiLgly muttered in reply =
81 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 hardly
aspire to her hand; and rather than allow my
self to be taxed with sordid designs, l will bury
my passion in my breast, and leave ii unaVowed
forever"
At an early hour the following day, however,
she betook herself to a solicitor, aud in legal
form declared her wish to present and hand
over as his property the sum OF $50, 600 guilders
(fl50O0) to DIR. Kant. When the document
had been signed countersigned, and duly com
pleted she sat down in the Office and enclosing
it in an elegant envelope, added the following
note:-
"Dear Sir:-- have much pleasure in enclosing q
paper which hope will remove the obstacle IN the
way OF your marriage. . .
"Beeve me, etc., ALICE MARTINI"
DR.. Kant-tor he, and no other, was the indi
vidual addressed-Was the happiest man i'll the
world on receiving this generous epstle. Re
| pairing at once to the parents of the Fraulelu
Fischel the lady OF his love, he proposed tor ano
received the hand OF a girl who had beer
| flattered by his delicate attentions. His reply
| TO Alice Martini besides conveying to her hi
| sincerest thanks, contained two cartes de oiSite
linked together with the significant rose.coloreC
| ribbon. Miss Martini forthwith sued the happ.
| bridegroom Tor restitution; but as no promise o
| marriage had been made, the case was, by 1--WE
| successive courts, decided against her.

Writing NEWSPAPER Articles.
NOr "a British ReUie a0.

FROM The Nor IN british Re0tei0.
1t is not enough to think and to know. 1t
requires the faculty of utierance. Certain
things are to be said, and in certain manner;
and your amateur article writer IS sure TO
strengthen in anY manner but the right Per
haps OF all STYLES of writing there is none in
which excellence is so rarely attained as that OF
newspaper writing. A readable leading article
may not he the work of the lottiest order, or
demand for its execution the highest attributes
OF genius; but whatever IT may be, the power OF
accomplishing it with success is not shared by
thousands OF clever fellows" Thousands OF
clever fellows, fortified by MIR. Thackeray's
opinion, may think they can write the articles
which they read in the morning journals; but
let them take pen and paper and try.
Men are rot born article writers any more
than they are born doctors Of the law or doctors
OF ply sic, as the ludicrous failures which are
every day thrown INTO the rubbish basket OF all
our newspaper Offices demonstrate past all con-
tradictiOn. Incompeiency is manifest in a
variety OF ways; but an irrepresnbe tendency
to fine writing IS associated with the greatest
number OF them. Gave clever young medical
student book about aural or dental surgery to
review: and the chances are ten TO one that the
criticism will be little less than a high.hoWp.
erandiloouent treatise on the wonders of creg
tion. A regular 'literary hack" will do tns
thing much better.
