Romance at a watering Place.

A correspondent of the Boston TrapslJer,
at Newport, overheard the following conver-
sation: st aaa 9af.4ae. sra. ~ .fas.;,a
mo, Harry dear, we must part. ! think
it is awful cruel of pa, but you know he
never encouraged you. He says you are nice
enough, but that q young man nowadays
must be able to support wife in the style to
which she has been accustomed, and that you
know you could not do, dear. So must
give you up. That Gus. Evans fairly hate,
with his little, swapping eyes, and his bristly,
ugly little moustache--ugh! but he has
lovely pony phaeton, which is all at my ser
vice, and diamond big as walnut on his
shirt bosom, and pa says he has lots of mo-
ney, and owns real estate and railroad stocks,
and don't know what else, and he says
must be civil to him and marry him if he
asks me; and know he will, for the other
night he got right to the point and was Just
ready to ask the all-important question, when
pa dropped in to look for his paper, and that
ended 1t for the time" - 0.t 81 ..a-5.
= But don't you know me?" the young
manly fellow at her side asked, with twinge
and tremor in his voice; ''you know you
have given me cause for thinking so, and
hoping. s.,a .q.s.ss..- .,,e.,s-,1'g. l., ..I
"Why, yes, of course do! How silly |!
Love you! you know / love you, and it is

know never can exist without the comforts

and my diamonds, my horses and my parties,

do now, and those things you know yop

vexed, viii you; but It is Better that we
should part, and you won't try to see me,
much, win you, till after I'm married?"

His voice was hard, and strove to be cool
and unconcerned, but it trembled a little, and
his face was very white as they passed me.
But her smile was as sweet and self-satisfied,
and her eye as clear, as though she had moi
wrecked young mans happiness and thrown
him aside for brainless jumping jack with
money, and as though her life was not to be
a vapid, tiresome round of fashionable emp
tiness, with none of love or usefulness to
sweeten it. ,.sf.. g., .as.s. 81. . !

Can It be that the heated term has snything
to do with the fearful extent to which blood
shed prevails throughout the country2 Never
have the papers chronicled such q number of
brutal murders, cruel assaults, stabbings,
shootings and n,aimings as have filed their
columns during the past two weeks. The
New York and Philadelphia journals daily
show sickening list of fearful crimes, and
from the south and west the telegraph sends
its appalling quota to swell the list. Even
our Blake street last evening witnessed an
other stabbing affray, and we may at any
moment expect repetition of similar yio-
lence. In one paper we have lunatic chop
ping off mans head with an ak In another
crazy woman beating out child's head
with billet OF wood. Drunken men with
out number seem inspired with q mania to
kick their wives to death, and ruffianism runs
riot in outrages upon helpless women Even
boys seem to have caught the fever to slay,
for the papers TEEN with murders perpetated
by young ruffians scarcely out of leading
strings The rivers give up their dead with
terrible frequency, and with blood -chilled
numbers, and marked with every sign of
violence. Suicide also rides rampant, and
the carnival of crime wants no feature to
render its horrors complete. Il Is not only
In this country that these dreadful crimes oc-
cur with such unheard of frequency, but
European Journals are daily filled with ac-
counts of them. Their prevalence, must be
owing to something more than mere chance,
or the desire for gain or revenge it would
seem as though tile excessive and long con-
tinued heat fired mems blood and reused their
yiler passions. II Is subject well worthy
the attention of philosophers, and one that
would afford some curious and interesting
statistics. es.-DenUef 1Fjbaf5e.. tffii3#JaTu HB III

A Fool For Luck. .

John, the fool of the New York San. was
made rich in spite Of himself ut Long
Branch, and this was the way it was done;
: Just as was the hungriest, Lonsfellow
apd Harry Bassett were brought out, and
they went round the corner like two Colts
reyolvers. All the nice young men around
me stood up and bowed and scraped and held
up one finger, as if they were stopping an
omnibus. They all yelled: GA hundred to
eighty on Harry Bassett.n They all appeared
to be so very polite, that held up my finger
too, and nodded and bowed back to ali of
them. | never saw such . polite lot of young
men before. You would haYe thought / was
the Grand Duke Alexis. kept up the bow
ing game just as long as they did, and soon
the race was over, and must confess was
agreeably surprised to see about four hundred
young men file up and each one chuck 800
bill into my lap. Then thought that lot of
young men just about the incest lot of young
men had ever met There sat with $40, 900
in my lap, and, to my astonishment, ! found
out that all the time was pointing my finger
and bowing back to 'em darned if wasn't

then says: s'Well I'll look around, and If /

call and take this. Not long ago Pitts said
to himself 4 tTm getting rather along In
years, and guess I'll get married., His busi-

ing ON lady friend, he opened the conyer-
sation by femafking that he would like to
know what she thought about getting married.
.'Oh, MIR. Pitts. she replied, 'sihat is an af-

ested, and prefer to leave 1t to yourself =
"But," says Mr.. Pitts, '.you are Interested,

lady blushed very red, hesitated, and finally,
as Pitts was very well to do In the world,
and morally and financially of good standing
IN society, she accepted him. Whereupon
the matter-of-fact Pitts responded: t'Well,
I'll look about, and If i don't find anybody
that suits me better than you, III come

If men could purchase manners as they do
their clothing, It would be great benefit to
sadly deficient In that respect. We, are gruff
and morose, and act for the most part as IL
the world was made for our special benefit,
and we were the only one In It. We crowd
and jostle along the walk, occupy the largest
possible space In the cars, tread on our
neighbor's corns, and generally pay no atten-
tion to either the persons or the feelings Of
others. And we boast of being people of
good manners! Heaven save the mark 4
company of trained monkeys have as much.
We act very like the ''niildest man that ever
scuttled ship or cut a throat, and vet fiatter
follow in due time, and society run far more
smoothly In It's grooves than 1t does now.

For Glras Only.

You are TO allow no personal freedom from
gentlemen of your acquaintance. If finger
is put out to examine chain on your dress,
draw back and take 1t off for inspection if
you choose. The reason of this is very clear
to those who are better acquainted with the
world. The reason is very clear to every
one who comes to twente-tiye years of age.
A girl who protects herself from the free
dom so much in yogue in society, increases
her own value. If she only knew It, with,
those she may have to repulse, don't be-
lieve in prudishness or suspicion, but do
believe that men and women who are not
content with the friendship that can be .ex-
pressed by frank, kind eyes, and cordial,
brief hand shakes and clear words one is not
ashamed the whole word should hear, should
know what intoxication they are sharing,

The whole civilized world having of late

The animal is indigenous to our State, is
the growth of our peculiar civilization, be-
longs to us We proceed TO enlighten the
seyans of the press. The Hoodlnm is male
of the human species, of the genus homo.
He dresses in broadcloth, wears polished
boots and carries q long cane. He is too
lazy to work; he is to proud to beg he istoo
cowardly to steal. He lives off the hard
earnings of the sin and shame of some poor
girl whom he abuses and neglects. He stands
on the street corners with his Hoodlum COM
radest of an afternoon, stares in brazen vul-
garity at honest women, and assaults with
rude gestures and indecent expression the
soiled doves as they flutter by. He has re-
spectacle relatives from whom he borrows
when the wolf chaees him too closely, and
during election times he sells his influence for
coin and aids to control political results. He
travels on shape and talent; he bullies the
weak and he fawns upon the strong; bis am
bition is to get some sinecure berth in poll
tics; he is night watchman or, has q special
policeman's beat-duties which he never per-
forms except to collect the money. He lives
at free lunches he anluses himself by rowdy
actions attends excursions. . His strong eff
forts isto keep out of the clutches of the lawl
He is the friend and counsellor of thieves,
swindlers and confidence men; and finally
adopts the felon's profession then he ceases
to be a Hoodlum. He becomes drunkard,
and is then called a hummer He gets shabby
and finds no frail woman to support him he
is then vagabond and loafer. During the
time of his earlier success he hangs around
theatres; knows and is useful to actors and
actresses; heis q clackett and deadhead. He
brings up in the home of the ,inebriate, the
county hospital, or the State prison. He is a
disgrace to, his family and 8 nuisance to the
