A WOMhN'S LOVE,
by RARY X. DALLAS.


A woman's love is a very unmanagca-
BILE thing; generally very absurd thing
1t is almost quite sure to fall On the wrong
object, and to shun the proper one, cspec-
tally if the woman is romantic.
Nothing could have been more sensible
than for Rosetta Muir to give her heart
to the handsome Maurice Darrow, who
had courted her smiles for two long years,
and who was not only rich, but good aud
noble into the bargain; but, instead she
chose to fall desperately in love with
Charley Carlton, who, besides being ny no
means handsome, was comparatively poor,
and cared just nothing for her--nothing
from her point of view, at least, though
he liked her we'll enough, was often found
in her society, and he thought her very
pretty.
He was by no means to be blamed ioI
The affair. 1t would be more sensational
to say that he had striven to win her heaf'
merely to play with and cast it ASIDE pu'
truth compels US to aver that he had don'
no such thing. The poor girl had manas
ed the affair entirely herself-had made
him her beau ideal; invested him VIII
all the perfections under the sun; hun'o'S
/ made up her mind that She was quite un
worthy Of him, and taken to tears rec
eyes, deep sighs, and the composition Q
sentimental poetry, which she COPIED IN
little red book, with lock and clasp an'
had some faint idea OF forwarding IL U
him at her demise, which, according Z
! her calculations, must occur very ihor'iy
All this sounds very foolish, little short Q
idiotic; but just as every smoker can ca . re
call that awful space Of time whlcn iollo" l' ~
ed the consumption Of his hrst cigar
such horrible thing to him, such iun'
thing to everybody clse--so most suScsP'
