A BREACH OF PRoMIsE.-The Hawaiian fair, we
have thought, are rather less inclined to trihe with
the feelings of the sterner sex than their foreign
born sisters. A case has recently come to our
knowledge, however, which you'd apparently 60 to
show that they are capable of education in affairs of
the heart as well as in other matters. A pretty we'll
TODD Celestial paid his addresses to a native damsel,
and in course of time the pair were duly engaged to
be married. The delighted swain, with pardonable
pride, determined that the object of his alteration
should be arrayed in the best of g store clothes, -
and came down handsomely for millinery, and silks
and laces were bought and made up in profusion.
Thus everything was going on swimmingly, and
John was impatiently awaiting the happy day that
should unite two hearts that beat as one" Alas,
"The best laid schemes Of mice or men,
Gang aft agley"
So in this case, before the arrival of the suspicious
morn, an inauspicious GOODNESS came over the young
lady, eliminating at last in her positively refusing
to marry John at all Prayers and supplications
were of no avail. She wouldn't, and she didn't
As a last resort, John demanded back-not the en-
gagement ring-but the wedding clothes the calicoes
and the silks, the jaunty hat, the wondrously high
heeled shoes, the snow-white hose all, even to the
which in his moments of misplaced con-
6dence he had bestowed on the false and tickle fair.
But she didn't see it in that light. The goods were
her own, by gift, and she meant to keep them. With
that practical sense OF the fitness of things char
aeteristic of his race, John brought his case to the
and the result was that the young lady's
parents listened to reason, and the dry goods were
20 the bereaved swain. He finds, however,
that the possession of the casket without the jewel
does not satisfy the cravings of his heart, and his
is declining. Besides, there is no telling if
the clothes may fit the next fair one on whom he
shall place whatever amount of affection he has left.
