Two months ago, . gentleman Of Cincins
natl married . young lady, beautiful, &C.
complshsd, wsalthy-in . word, q bslls.-
All that money and society could do for
her had been done. Good offers Of mar
riags had been refused, until. At last. mar
rying, she gave up all-friends, home,
everything aud, In return, got nothing.
The wedding was, Of course, . brillian. AZ
fair. But, alas the bright dream of hap
piness tho bride had pictured 10 herself
was soon dispellsd, and the bright sunshine
Of hopo was succeeded by cloud Of sor>
row and regret. Her husband proved him
self forger, was arrested for felony, and
obliged to fee. It was not simple case Of
one grave fault committed under extenua-
ting circumstances, but systematic series
Of forgeries; obtaining money under false
pretenses; evading the payment Of hotel
bills whilst on their wedding tour; being
brought home drunk to his wife Of only .
week expelled from the Fifth Avenue and
Burnett houses fer not paying their board
The bride was obliged to return to her
fathsr's housa ."a ~. I~.b.nd, for giving
. check on bank where he had no account.
Was arrested and incarcerated, and, upon
| obtaining ball. lied. This is q sad, sad
history, and should be . warning to youns
ladies'. The parents objected to the match
bu; could do nothing but consent. theil
daughter being intent on the marriage.
