The Latest Game.

A NICE, romantic story is told in
Eastern papers about a well dressed
young man who appeared at a Ver-
mont hotel recently and made himself
very popular. He swelled around rath-
er fashily for few days, when pref
ty young lady, who seemed to be all
alone in the world, made her appearance
at the same tavern, and set the hearts
OF all the impossible youngsters therea'
bouts in a fiutter. Her charms were
canvassed very fully by u coterie OF
young men at the supper table, among
whom VAS the flashing individual we
have referred to, and be especially be-
came very warm in her praise. Final
" he wound ups glowing eulogy with
the assertion that he wonld marry her
if she would have him, and offered to
make a substantial wager that be pos
sessed the courage to propose to her on
the spot. and have the marriage cers-
monv Immediately performed. The
bet was accepted, as well as the prop.
sal OF marriage, which was promptly
made by the young man. A Parsor
was called in and The twain were made
one in short order. As soon as the
happy bridegroom received from hi
friends the sum wsgered be departed
on the wedding tour And now SOM
BODY is mean enough to circulate th,
insinustiop that the young couple hs'
already been man and wife for year.

The SmiI er's Dying Words.

From the New York Herald
Although the poet puts the saddest
words Of tongue or pen into the pluper-
lect tense, potential mood, of the subs
tantive verb, there are many whose
saddest experiences are those actuated
BY "it was rather than by ut might
have been" We think that the great
Smier's valedictory, if it spoke what he
really ielt, would have regretted that
his term WAS at an end, instead of sug-
costing painfully how honest and fsith-
Iul he might have been. IL did suggest
this. When he alluded to committing
mo act which has proved that conf
dence misplaced he was simp y insinu
ating that Nesbitt and his father-in-law
were good abb in that twelve humid
red dollar check matter, that Credit
Mobiier stock was not a sinful thing
to own al all, and that Hoax Ames was
an honest, honest man. 1t was pitilul
but Colisx is dead now, and 80
