a Romantic Story:

5 At the commencement of. the pres-
.ent century a young man n4ade bis
appearance in Stratford, and spent a.
few weeks at the tavern which, then:
existed to afford shelter to stage coach
travellers, Whence he cams, and his
business, none could guess Directly
opposite the tavern stood the small
cottage and forge of a blacksmith NAM,
cd Folsom. He had, daughter who
was. the beauty of the Village, and it
was her fortune to captivate, the heart
of the young stranger. He told his
love, said that he was from Scotland
that he was travelling incog, but in
confidence gave her his real name,
claiming that he was, heir to.a large
fortune. She returned his love and
they were married. A. few weeks
thereafter the stranger told his wife
that he must visit New Orleans He
did so, and the gossips of the, town,
made the young wife. unhappy by
their disagreable hints and jeers.-t
In a few months thehusband returned
hut before week had elapsed he. re-
eeived a large budget of letters, and
told his wife that, he must at once re-
turn to England, and must go alone,
He took his departure, and the gossips
had an other glorious opportunity to
make confding woman wretched.
To all but herself it was a clear esrse
of desertion; the wife became a moth
er, and for two years lived on in ST.:
lence and hope. AT the. end of that
time letter was received by the STRAIT
ford beauty from her husband, direct
ing her to go at once to New York
with her child, taking nothing with
her but the cloths size wore, and en-
bark In ship for her home in Eng
land.
70 On her arrival in New York she.
founda ship. splendidly furnishd with
every CONVENIENCE and luxury for her
comfort, and two servants ready to-
obey every wish that she might ex-
press. The. ship duly arrived, in Eng
land and the Stratford girl became.
mistress OF superb mansion, and as
the wife of baronet, was saluted by
the aristocracy as Lady Samuel Ster@
ling. -

years ago, the Stratford boy succeeded
to the title and wealth of his fathers,

age and Baronetage," he is spok en- Of

Russell writes from Hong Kong
as follows: 'tI saw the sale of fami-

band and father was in California, and
perhaps l can do no better than tc -ell
you about it. There were five children
three girls and two boys. We had
passed them three times il our chairs
during the day, as they stood beside
the road, dressed in their holiday attire
of black. The silence. they observed
whenever any person passed, and their
downeast looks, created curiosity on
our part to know their business there.
Arr Hung, our waiter, was called up
and asked the cause of this little par
ade. Why, said he,. the girls, and
perhaps the whole family, are for
sale We stopped our chairs, and
stepped out to have talk with them,
using Arr Hung as an interpreter. +
''The mother was wrinkled and
gray, hung her head. as if she was
afraid to look us in the face. But the
children, with exception of the
oldest girl, looked cheerful, and were
quite pleased with their holiday at
tire. The oldest girl was sixteen, and
the oldesl boy fifteen. So said the
gruff old broker who had the party in
charge, and who seemed quite anxious
to dispose of his wares. After great
deal of quizzing and evasive answers,
the broker told her that her husband
and father was in California, and had
neglected to pay his note given for
his passage, and that his family were
now offered for sale for his debt, He
hoped to b, 1, to pay the de with
the sale of the two oldest girls, but as
he had received no offers. He said
that the family became security
voluntarily and he never knew case
where they did not voluntarily offer
themselves for sale if the note they Sc
cured was not paid.
SIN reply to our questions he said
that when customer bought child
or person, the person was made at
once the owner of the child, body and
soul. No Cinnamon would dispute
the purchasers right to do whatsoever
he pleased with the human being he
had paid for. The boys would make i

course of few years, be worth for

How Lean Folks May Grow Fat.i

{ From the Germantown (Phila.) Chronicle
Ia We published a week or two since
a card for those persons who sought a
reductive boarding house system by
which their superfuous- adipose might
be dispensed with. It tssems that DR.,
.Dio Lewis has been thinking in hthe
interest of an opposite elass--thoso
who are thin to unloYeliness, lie
certainly has the larger enterprise. -
For one fat person there ajdozen, or a
score, of lean ones. They are dried

How their bones rattle in. the wind !!
There are cavernous hollows in their
temples and cheeks while their eyes
roll like great black China saucers.-
1t seems that they have been drinking
vinegar all their lives. or. have the
consumption or have allowed life to
ooze out of theE in some unlawful
way We always feel for ithem.o so
does DR.. Dio Lewis. We eea"e always
afraid that in the crowd they. will get
jostIed against us, anili their sharp an
gles-bones which neseuslIion of flesh
covers2wUnil d0Ifs harm In fact,
we set them down as a dangerous class
in the community. Fat people are
heavy and dozv, AMI a burden !. to
themselves. Our feductive boarding
house contemplates them as unfortun-
ates. and is itself pure philanthropy.
But lean people are really dangerous,
and in this age ofphosphates are often
carried off in the night and burned
for dry bones, No doubt a large per-
centage of murders could be traced to
some sort of leanness or other.
Now DR.. Lewis comes sensihly to
the rescue He sends these skeletons
to bed betimes, They have ratified in
between the sheets ordinarily at | I or

will never do. They must bid the
busy. tea-steeped,s gossipy world fare

tagging out Of the flesh results in part
from late hours. Susie used to be a
buxom maid. Now she has tight
skin across her pinched nose anc anx-
ious cheeks. Susie has been to more
evening dress parades for young child
dren than is consistent with hes tn and
flesh. So. though Susie is scarcely in
her teens, she bids fair TO be one of
those old skeletons that rattle in the
wind before she is twenty two. All
the healthy, happy juices of life are
going in this folly, and she will be old
and dry, and fritted away and good
for nothing very young. And the'I
case is the same with Mary, and AL

raised his arm to strike. Grippe,

would have gotten the start, is a ques-
