A Laughable Love Story.

A rich old gentleman had only one
daughter, possessed of the highest at
fractions, moral, personal and pecuniary.
She was engaged and devotedly at
tached to young man in every respect
worthy of her choice. All the marriage
preliminaries were arranged, and the
wedding was fixed to take place on
certain Thursday. On the Monday pre-
cedlng the wedding-day the bridegroom
elect (who was to have received $4,000
down on his wedding-day, and further
sum Of 100000 on his father-in-law's
death, an event which would probably
soon occur) had little jealous squabble
with his intended at an evening party.
The /" tiff arose in consequence of his
paying more attention than she thought
justifiable to a lady with sparkling eyes
and inimitable ringlets.
The gentleman retorted, and spoke
tauntingly of q certain cousin whose
waistcoat was the admiration of the
company, and limited that it was en-
broidered by the fair heiress herself
He added that it would be soon enough
for him to be schooled after they were
married; and that she adopted the
|
per they became reconciled, apparently,
and the bridegroom elect, in taking
leave, was kind and affectionate. The
next morning the swain regretted the
angry feeling he had exhibited, and the
cutting sarcasm with which he had CIV
en- it vent; and, as a part of the amendt
honorable, packed up magnificent satin
dress which he had previously bespoken
for his beloved (which had been sent
home in the interval), and sent it to the
lady with the following note -
"DEAREsT JANE-I have been unable
to close my eyes all night, in thinking
of our misunderstanding last evening
Pray pardon me and, in token of YOU
forgiveness, deign to accept the accom-.
panying dress, and wear it for the sake
of Your most affectionate
HENRY"
Having written the note, he gave il
to his servant to deliver with the parcel
But, as pair of pantaloons happened t.
need repairing, he availed himself of th'
opportunity (the servant having to pas
the tailor's shop to send them in an
other package to the tailor. rhe maj
made the fatal blunder left the satir
dress with Snip, and took the note anC
the damaged trowsers to the lady. 81
exasperated was she, at what she con
sidered determined and deliberate af
front, that when her admiror called sh
ordered the door to be clsscd in his face
refused to listen to any explanation, AM
resolutely broke off the match.

EDITORIAL OPINIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as q general rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits of something
which the advertiser desires to sell.
The editors and publishers of the paper
in which it appears are not responsible
for its statements. Sometimes, how
ever highly important discoveries or in
ventions, announced to the world through
the business department of the press,
seem to demand u few words of editorial
commentator. We have no hesitation
in saying that the excellent medicine
introduced by DIR. Joseph Walker, of
California under the name of VINEGAR
BITTERs, belongs to this category, and
has a just claim to a favorable notice.
There can be no doubt as to its utility
| as tonic, stomachic and Alternative
We are cognizant of many instances in
which it has cured cases of chronic dys-
pepsia supposed to be incurable, and
know that the estimation in which it is
held as remedy for bilious and nervous
disorders, intermittent and remittent
fevers, rheumatism and general debility,
is founded on experience and well de-
served. The testimony of ga cloud of
witnesses" goes to show that it is emi-
nently useful in a large majority of the
disorders to which the human family
are subject. The fact that it contains
no alcohol commends it to the confidence
of that large and increasing class of the
community who insist that all spirituou:
stimulants are active poisons.

A Fathers Advice to a Bride.

Said young husband whose business
speculations were unsuccessful, "My
wife's silver tea-set, the bridal gift of a
rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin.
1t involved hundred unexpected ex-
penses, which, in trying to meet, have
made me the bankrupt l am" His ex-
perience is the experience of many 9TH
ers, who, less wise, de not know what is
the goblin of the house, working its de-
struction. A sagacious father of great
wealth exceedingly mortified his daugh-
ter by ordering it to be printed on her
wedding cards, "No presents except
those adapted to an income of 81, ,OOO."
Said he, "You must not expect to begin
life in the style am able, by many
years of labor, to indulge; and 1 know
of nothing which will tempt you to try
it more than the well-intentioned but
pernicious gifts of rich friends" Such
advice to a daughter was timely. Ii
other parents would follow the same
plan, many young men would be spared
years of incessant toll and anxiety; they
would not find themselves on the down
ward road, because their wives had
worn all of their salary, or expended il
on the appointments of the house. The
fate of the poor man who found Inch
pin, and felt himself obliged to make q
carriage to fit it, is the fate of the hus-
band who finds his bride in possession
of gold and silver valuables, and NJ
large income to support the owners golo
and silver style.
