Letter says: "All mems wives who have
hitherto enjoyed the advantage OF our &C.
uuaintance are hereby notified that this
ceases to-day, never to be renewed. 1t is
with deep grief that we disrupt the social
relations which promises so much, but We
feel impslled thereto BY the first law of
nature. Our lady friends who have the
misfortune to be married to other and in
ferior men will please stick like leech to
their legal protectors, and not recognize US
on the street. We have taken considers bic
pleasure in their society," pleasure which
we tiattsr ourselves has been mutual-but
this thing can no longer be permitted to 60
on. We trust that our motive-which il
pure cowardice-will not be miscoustrued.
Somebody psrishes ingloriously every day
for being upon speaking terms with married
women, and we do not care to have our
turn come round. Deeply grateful for the
past forbearance of aggrieved husbands, we
make our bow and retire. Hereafter our
mods and smiles will be lsrished upon girls
and widows exclusively no others need
apply. Whosoever shall attempt to intro.
duoe US to his own wife, or that of another
man, will be regarded as q conspirator

is strong in US, and We do not wish to die.
