AAUGHAbLE LOVE OTORY. IA Iicn OtQ
gentleman had an only daughter, pos
sessed of the highest attractions, moral,
personal and pecuniary. She was en-
gagged and devotedly attached to d
young man in every respect s7Orthy of
her choice. All the marriage prelimi
naries were arranged, and the wedding
was fixed to take place on q certain
Thursday. On the Monday preceding
the wedding-day the bride and groom
elect (who was to have received $780,
600 down on his wedding day, and
further sum of 100 900 on his father-in
laws death, an event which would prob
ably soon occur) had a little jealous
squabble with his intended at an even
ing party. The " tiff arose in conse-
quence of his paying more attention
than she thought justifabie to lady
with sparkling eyes and inimitable ring
lets. ...-.' lt.... liza aI,
The gentleman retorted, and spoke
tauntingly of certain cousin whose
wa;stcoat was the admiration Of the
company, and limited that it had been
embroidered by the fair heiress herself.
He added that it would be soon enough
to be schooled after they were mar
1ied, and that she had adopted the
breeches" little too soon. After sun
per they become reconciled apparently,
and the bridegroom elect, in taking
leave was kind and affectionate. On
the next morning the swain regretted
the angry feeling he had exhibited and
the cutting sarcasm to which he had
given vent; and as part of the amende
honorable, packed up q magnificent sat
in dress which he had previously be-
spoke, for bis beloved (which had been
sent home in the interval), and sent it
to the lady with the following note:
"DEAK 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 your
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 it
to his servant to deliver with the par
eel. But, as pair of pantaloons hap
pened to need repairing, heavailed HIM
self of the opportunity (the servant
having to pass the tailor,s ,shop) to
send them in another package to the
tailor. The man made the fatal blum
der! left the satin dress with Snip, and
took the note and the damaged trowsers
to the lady. So exasperated was she at
what she considered determined ind
deliberate affront, that when her ad-
mirer called she ordered the door to be
closed in his face, refused to listen to
his explanation, and resolutely broke
off the match. ,UA9iL5M y lG2
