Beautiful BOuquetiere
Who had created great sensation in Paris. The
story was eminently Partisan one. The bou-
quetiere was an embryo Cora Pearl. Every one
said that the sensation could not have happened
out of Paris. Every one was wrong, however.
The sensation has happened out of Paris 1t has
happened on a ferry-boat between this city and
Brooklyn. At o'clock of any afternoon cross
on one of these ferry-boats, the Union, for in
stance, at the foot of Fulton street, and you
shall see a sight which will give you high idea
of one of two things-the nonchdldnt deprayity
of male residents on Brooklyn Heights or the
ingenious tribute which our ferry-crossers pay
to youth and beauty. At that hour a youthful
5ouquetiere of remarkable beauty, and not more
than seventeen, is to be seen offering her nose
gays for sale, and apparently unconscious of the
warm glances showered upon her. She
is not blonde, she is not a bru-
nette. She has brown hair and
hazel eyes, and remarkably red sensuous lips.
Her skin is as soft and sweet petals of the
magnolia. Her dress is plain and neat and
just short enough to reveal half an inch of white
ankle losing itself in coarse but well-htting
shoes. The girl is a born coquette, virtuous as
yet, but intensely vain, and on the road to ruin
! said she was unconscious of the warm looks
showered upon her Close scrutiny, however,
will detect that she is but too well aware of them
and that she knows how to distinguish between
those whom it will be worth her while to remem-
ber and those whose acquaintanceship can
confer no sort of prestige upon her The
slight compression of the proud and pouting
lips, the soft curl which sometimes moves
them, an occasional almost imperceptible toss
of the neat Greek head or shrug of the hidden
shoulders, whose outlines are elaborately indi-
Gated beneath the thin tight dress, a momentary
toying with the single rosebud pinned ostenta-
tiously upon the centre of a bosom whose tender
half-maturity belongs, as yet, neither to girl
hood nor womanhood-these are little evidences
of self-consciousness which prove that the
damsel is not unaware of her very great attrac-
tiveness. No one knows her name, but she goes
by the name of the Brooklyn Bouq',etiere. She
has the finest and freshest nosegays that are to
be culled in the suburbs of New York; sells
them for twice as much as other flower
girls, and gets her price without its being
grudged. Already her pensive eyes are illumi-
mated with sad glory, premonitory of a swiftly
advancing fate. The life of a bouquetiere is not
long for her. A few days, or a few weeks, and
the ferry side will know her no more. l shall see
hers plendidly equipped driving through the park,
and intoxicated with the entrance to a career
from which there is no return, in company
with hundreds of others. / cross that ferry at
night, and gaze upon that sweet young thing-as
pure, as fragrant as fresh, as yet as the flowers
she offers for sale-the vista that is to be her
future unrolls itself before me, and l survey her
rapid transit through the various levels of
palace, brothel, hospital, and grave.
This is the sermon read to me this morning by
the bouquet bought of her last night and which
now breathes forth its perfumed, moralizings
from its vase of fresh water.
An Aggravated Case of Aurora FIOydism
has occurred down on Long Island. Miss Brad
don has written in vain, and the notorious Dean
Boxer case having resulted in the highest pitch
of earthly happiness to the parties most inte-
rested, has utterly failed to point the moral
which was anticipated from it. regret to an
nounce, therefore, that another young female of
good family and great expectations has leopard
lied her relations with society by falling in love
and clipping with her fathers coachman. In
order to fully understand the incidents about to
be mentioned, must request the reader Gas the
novelists say) to step back with me for period
of six MONTHS At that era young
man named Corson made his appearance among
the then snow-clad verdancies of Glen Cove,
and after wandering about in demoralized and
listless manner, succeeded in finding a situation
as coachman in a family that shall be nameless
for two reasons. The first of these is that have
a great respect for the family whom the afilic
