mentioned above, proved a defaulter.
The checks drawn by Harriet upon his
affections were no longer cashed in
current coin of kisses, and the Bank Of
Love suspended payment. But a
threatened suit for wasted and mis-
placed affections brought the truant
swain to terms, and in consideration of
n solemn promise, that in lieu of mat
rimony, he would support her In good
style for the balance of her days, pro-
vide her with something to wear, some
thing to eat, a little probationary and
n roof to live under, the disappointed
damsel contrived to rclinquish all
claims upon her late %atiamced, and
consoled herself with the thought that
she would have nearly all the comforts
of married life without any of Its i'll
conveniences. For two years Means
kent to the curious agreement, until
getting tired Of a continued expense
which brought him no return Of we'd
ded bliss, and no return of any kind
other than q good conscience Is sup
posed to afford, he refused further to
provide for her support, and the af-
ficted lady now brings suit to recover
Z 800 for the shock her system
has sustained by his brutal conduct.
The reference will be heard Of at an
early date in the Fifteenth District
Court, and Is thereto plaglarize from
the story writers-to be continued. .

Plains plays the host but once a year,

The educational gardeners, whose
mission 1t is to cultivate the young
idea, have heen in council for the last
week, presided over by that clerical
genius, o. P. Fitzgerald. Now, the
Reverend O. P. holds orthodox views
about amusements. He believes 1t Is
uncodly to dance. wicked to visit
Woodward's Gardens. and that the pit

the bottomless pit of eternal perdition.
Judge then of the old mans horror
when Professor i. Knowlton jumped
OIL the platform on Tuesday and in
formed the ladies and gentlemen as
semtIed in scholastic pow-wow, that

the visible workings of his wisdom
teeth on Ills half paper Of solace, but
like q Christian rushing oil Apollyon,

Would the sheep, therefore, oblige him
by stepping forth from the goats, that

while the Superintendent, with 4 sigh
of sorrow, turned over his tobacco and
sat down in sad despair. Aud those
