ANOTHER COMEDY OF "TaE LOVE
CHAsE."-An indianapolis dispatch, of
the 9TH nit, narrates An interesting
love chase was brought to n sudden
termination in this city yesterday.
Some months ago, family named
Leadbeater, consisting of husband, wife
and two children, were living in SEEM
ing content in Connecticut. The wife
suddenly disappeared. A few days ago
Leadbeater received q letter from a
friend Richmond, saying that Mrs.
Leadbeater was living in this city as
the wife Of a man named Cook, and
that Cook was about to receive from
England remittance of twenty thou
sand pounds sterling. Leadbeater at
once came to Richmond, and in COM
pany with his correspondent came on
here arriving yesterday. His Rich
mond friend procured HIM an interview
with Cook, and while the two men
were talking over matters in saloon,
the Richmond man slipped out, went
to the woman, and gave her informa-
ton of the state of affairs, advising her
to leave the city, which she did. He
then returned to the saloon, and en-
gagged the attention of Leadbeater,
while Cook made his escape, and fol-
lowed tile woman. The disconsolato
husband is again of the track, and has
not decided whether to follow OF not.

! stored my ship with cleaning gold,
ana saw her snowy sails unfold,
AS TO the east she sped away;
foiled, and toiled, that gold to gain.
Then watched my ship sail DER the main.
Thinking Of her returning day.
~ her return, when she would bear
her countless treasures, rich and rare,
Gathered from lands across the sea:
planned to build stately home,
10 which my love would gladly come,
And share happy life with me.
The months rolled on and formed a year
Hope changed to doubt, and doubt to fear.
AS eagerly l scanned the sea;
For one by one the days went by,
but no sail came to glad my eye
My ship came never back to me.
The love sought 10 make my own,
Another Won; and, all alone,
sit beside the cruel sea;
My life seems like this waste of sand.
Stretching across desert land
Ship, home, and love ,.all lost to me!

"Yes-yes, open it quick! 1 am very

"lt's ours, all our's!" said Tom with
chuckle of inward delight.

too.
Young spIaslin himself opened it,
while Bibbs stood over him, with his
eyes opened to their utmost extent.
Oh, hope ! False vain delusive !!
What golden visions thou awakest.
that are but fleeting shadows! What
bright anticipations thou createth, that
are but designed to be crushed! What
ambrosial nectar thou presenteth, that
is but to be turned to bitter gall when
tasted!
In that little package, so carefully
done up by Scrimps & Scrubs, there
was-not what they expected-not a

Somehow the friendship of Spraglin
& Bibbs has abated considerably since
the day they received the package
from Scrimps & Scrubs. In fact they
are hardly ever seen together now.
