POetical Elopement.

A vecy singular scene was enacted upon
our streets few evenings since, one which
should be warning to young men not TO trile
with the affections Of young lady and excite
hopes which they do not propose 70 crafty
A young man had for long time given
special attention TO young lady, and the
friends all supposed they were engaged
Indeed we have reason for believing that such
was the fact But marriage was postponed
and the young man finally felt disposed to
break of his engage nent, and commenced
flirting with another young lady. Young lady
No. , as is common on like occasions, did not
relish this treatment. The more she reflected
upon the injuries inflicted upon her the more
reyengeful she became.
The young man, instead of repe nting and re-
turning to his first love, persisted in neglect
ing her and spent his leisure hours with his
new flame
Matters went along thus for some time until
on the evening referred TO, when "a new turn
was given to the wheel Of fortune. The
young man and his lady friend No. were
promenading the street leisurely, enjoying
each the society of the other and the two pre-
senting model personation of moon-struck
lovers. Their .mbles took them by the
home of young lady No. L. She was sitting by
a window and observed their slow approach.
The green-eyed monster, with all his seHti-
ments of .atred. revenge, and feelings of
wrongs endured, took possession of her. As
they came near, she rushed from the house
into the street and seized young lady No. , oy
the hair, which, fortunately, was put on, u
and void Of roots, otherwise the scalp, and not
the waterfall, would have come off. After
jerking off the hair, the victim Of her wrath
was thrown from the sidewalk into the street
At this point the young man interfered and
took young lady No. by the arm, when she
dealt him blow that raised him entirely off
his pegs and sent him to grass with blood
flowing from nose, ears and mouth. The in
] jured girl then ran into the house, sized a
cane, and rushed into The street again, flour
| ishing her weapon at furious rate, but before
she had reached the spot where she left the
young man he had got upon his feet again and
made off like quarter horse.
Spectators think the young made q
! lucky escape, as one blow from the cane,
welded by tie powerful arm of the injured
, one, would have put end to his fitting

ARE WOMEN NATURAL LIARS?
! The Revolution says. Ever since the
world began, it has been tie fashion TO accuse
women of falsehood and deceit. Is there any
justice in the charge! So long as the days of
