II Romantic Experiences of n Man with Five
SwertheartS.

In this city certain drug house employs
among its clerks "a nice young man ~
among his circle of intimate friends he
enjoys a distinction which though not as en-
viable as less festive youths might covet,
serves nevertheless a wholesale warn
ing 10 other rash adventures in the lists of
love, whose ambitious aspirations cannot be
confined TO single victory over the affections
OF susceptible femin nifty, but are ever strained
toward other conquests- He brought his fascI.
nations successfully 10 bear on five fair damsels
OF our city. Five several times did he plight
his faith, five several times promise his pre-
cIous hand and heart In marriage TO five but
too eager and too credulous expectants. The
lovely quintette Were mutual confidants. One
unlucky day, when taking notes of each others
feelings, and divulging the name of the happy
gallant who had extorted the prom ise of mar
rage from each, they made the tartling dis
covery that each claimed the man of rhubarb
and squills. How TO punis h the male coquette,
The ingenuity of the mother of No. was not
long at fault. Young Bluebeard was politely
invited 10 tea. He fell into snare. While
enjoying tste-d-tets with No. 1, ten minutes
later appeared No. 3, and at similar intervals
the remaining victims. There was no escape
for the terror-stricken youth, and he quailed
before the anger that flashed from five p airs of
the brightest eyes that e. Yer pierced q suscepti-
BILE heart He did what Drawer men would
have edone-acknow ledge the corn. In extenua.
uon. he pleaded that his feelings changed in
spite Of himself: that he didn't mean TO be
hckle, but that he always loved most the pretty
girl he had happened to see last. OF course
such logic had anything but a soothing effect
on that awful council Of injured loveliness.
Humbly Jepentant, crestfallen, and bearing
himself like man with several fieas In his ear,
a wiser man. There are hints that a sugges.
ton was made by one Of the far tribunal look
ing 10 the application OF a twisted piece Of
untanned bovine epidermis 10 his shoulders,
but the prudent lugdment of the dignifed ma.
iron forbade the inflIction of additional morti.
