Last winter wealthy Cuban conceived an ex-
travagant passion for quite pretty young VIZ
man dancing at leading Broadway New L ork)
theatre; wrote to her and solicited an interview
He poured his passion out IN burning WORDS,
and offered to pour out his gold as ireeiy; ou1
she informed him, as the celebrated Enghsn oiu
her opulent admirer, that the way to her ped
chamber Law through the church. He sought
to shake her resolution, but In vain, and IN des-
pair of possessing her otherwise, ne made her
his wife. He tired of her in few weeks, and
his relations were violently opposed to such an
alliance. he soon deserted her, and returned to
Havana.
Too proud to follow him, she went back to the
stage. and during the month of May clerk IN
commercial house down town fell In love with
her and went through the same experience as
the Snaniard. Hvmen before Venus for her;
and SO the young fellow, with degree OF dis
honor characteristic of an older and cooler heart
entrapped her into false marriage. His en-
ployer accidentally discovered the deception, be-
came interested in his pretty danseuse, and ap-
prised her of the clerks vlainy, assuring her ne
should be compelled to wed her. if she desired
it, by due process OF law.
Esmeralda declined to have anything more to
do with the rogue, and released him uncondi-
tionally The merchant was so much STRUCK
with the woman's spirit and beauty, that al
though be knew she had twice consented to marry
in cold blood he proposed matrimony to her. and
for the third time she accepted. Certain legal
steps are necessary before the last nuptials can
be consummated; but the commercial lover Is
desperately enamored of her, and has already
placed her in a handsome mansion and made her
a deed of the property, with $4,000 for pin
money. His friends are indignant, and aver
that he is infatuated. But he swears he loves
her, and will marry her, as soon as practicable
She says she is deeply attached to him tor his
kindness to and sympathy with her, and is no"
leading very quiet and exemplary life
Her .fa.ce is nearly forty, and has long beer
sought as husband in modish circles to no puf
pose. His liver seems to have struck now, anC
there is little doubt he will wed Esmeralda thu
winter, and snap his fingers at comment an'
criticism She will join Grace Church; b
passed upon by Brown; ride to morning service
with gold-claspcd hymn-book and look ten time
more as if she was born to it than many OF he
sex who pirate of blood and breeding.
