sod Futc Of a Foolish Hoiress-Denoue.

W~iiIionaire's Daughter on the Town.
From the Warrington National Intelligcnesr.
March 2sth.l
Some years ago the fashionable world
of Gotham was startled from its proprie-
ties ut the announcement in g~ossiping
circles, and shortly sfterward in the
sensational papers, that Minnie Boxer,
the youthful daughter Of Mr.. Boxer, a
millionaire, had, in an evil hour, become
enamored Of her fathers coachman, and
consented to q secret marriage. Inc
foolish attachment became known to the
father when too late for remedy, and he
subsequently disowned the foolish and
erring child. Having carried of, with
her fathers consent, all her jewelry and
personal effects, she was enabled to set
her husband up in business-in q restau-
rant, we believe. Love in q cottage
went on smoothly until Mr.. Boxer died,
and it was found he had not forgiven
his daughter, and, as a consequence,
had not willed one cent Of his immense
possessions to her. Mr.. Dean, the
:.coachman husband" had a change
come DER the spirit of his dreams. In
the marriage he evidently had an eye
to the main chance-the money-bHgs OF
his father-in-law; and these failing in
their fruition, his love for Minnie
waned, chilled, till GOODNESS begot neg
lect; neglect brought forth weeping APP
pesls from the youthful victim of roman
tic attachment; begat abuse from the hus-
band; and thus in the struggle and tur-
moil Of life, Dean and his wife were lost
to public view, and the story which had
excited all Gotham became a part OF the
dim past. A subsequent act in the do
mestic tragedy has just transpired in
this goodly city, which we will briefly
relate.
A gentleman Of our city, who spends
considerable time in alternating the suf-
fering and want in the lower strata Of
human society, was some weeks ago,
called upon to help q woman in the
lowest depths OF privation, and in a per
sonal interview with her, although the
being before him was dressed in the
scanty, ragged and coarse CARDS Of
squalid poverty, and although her
breath reeked with the fumes Of villain
Gus liquor, yet there was that in her
manners, her language and her tone,
which surely indicated that she had
moved in higher circles, and that she
had been familiar with virtuous life.
An examination revealed the sid fact
that the degraded and poverty-strickeu
being befor him was the once celebrated
Minnie Boxer; that, abused, beaten and
starved by her husband, she was finally
compelled to leave, and, alas for human
nature! to drown her grief and sorrow
in liquor. The sympathies Of the gen
,leman were aroused, and he made tenn
porary provisions for her, and after
wards induced a religious society to
take charge Of her and give her q home,
Here she remained, apparently contant'
ed and grateful, for obvious reasons rs.

"This and nothing more" is one o.
the saddest events in domestic life, but
sorrowful thoughts suggest themsslve,
which are not creditable to human ma
ture. We cannot see that the sterr
father was justified, on any correct prin'
ciples, in thu, abandoning a daughter
10 a fate which he must have foreseen
We most sincerely trust, for the SAKE
Of human nature, that the consciences o
the brothers, who inherited the immense
wealth Of Mr.. Boker-thus increased b
