Loves. Young Dream.

The following choice piece of sarcasm
which p,lrports to have been written by
young lady in New York City to hel
prim, specialized maiden aunt in Boston
may, in truth, have been indited by
that amiable lady herself, with view
of exposing the absurd infatuation with
which girl-brides shut themselves up in
the delusiOn that their husbands are
embOdyments of perfection. Ifthe old
lady did write the document, it was
hardly fair in her to go and palm it of
on the Innocence of inexperienced bride
hood. Il. ..- ..... .. -..--
Ny Dear Aunt:-Although you told me
when 1 invited you to my wedding that
was too-young to marry, and not cap
able of choosing mate for life proper
ly, and with due consideration, l know
that you may now feel that | was wis
er than You thought. In selecting dear
Orlando have gained most Affection
ate and attentive husband, and one that
has neither fault nor a wise. Heavens
What must girl suffer who finds her
self united to dissipated person, neg
lectful of her and disposed to seek the
society ofunworthy persons, who smoke
drink and do all sorts of dreadful things.
Thank heaven Orlando is perfection.
To-day is my eighteenth birthday and
we have been married year. We keep
house now and L can bake pretty good
pies, only the under crust will be damp.
However, think that must be the oven.
Once l put peppermint in the pudding
sauce instead of Lemon favoring; but
then OrlOndo was trying to kiss me
right before the girl, who didn't like
either of us going into the kitchern at
all. i@ '- t'if- --l!..a
The flowers are coming up in our back
garden. We sowed great many seeds,
but hardly expected so many plants
Among the most numerous is one varie-
ty with very large leaf, that scratch
es ones fingures and don't smell nice.
| wonder wlrq it is? Orlando fright
ems me by talking about weeds; but
seed always come up, don't they
Dear Orlando, come back to him
asain-sO.eXcellent,t emperate and true.
Tell all the girls to marry as soon as
they can find husband like mine.
I have but one trial-business takes
him so much away from me. A law
yer must attend to business though, and
sometimes they carry on the cases until
two at night. Often and often he has
examined witnesses until half past
twelve and comes home perfectly ex-
hausted. And the nasty things smoke
so that his dear coat quit smellse of it.
And as it makes him rs i'll rs it does me
I have to airit and sprinkle the lining
with Cologne water, before he dares to
put it on again. H.-..- .'."
p | had a terrible fright the other night,
Orlando had told ME that business-I
think he said it was a case of lite and
dcath-would detain him late. So /
sat up, as usual, with book and did
not worry until one o'clock. After that
| was Il little anxious, confess, and
caught cold in my head peeping
through the upstairs window-blinds-
for, dear aunt, il was not until three
o'clock that heard cab driving up
the street and saw it stop at our door
then was sure some dreadful accident
had happened to Orlando.
| ran down to open the door, and Mr..
Smith, friend of Orlando's, who is not
l confess,very much TO my taste-such
red faced noisy man---was just suppor-
ting my dear boy up the steps. "a.
"Oh what has haprened?' cried.
"Don't be frightened, Mrs. White,"
said Mr.. Smith. Nothing at all, only
White is exhausted. Application to
business will exhaust any man, and
thought I'd bring him home ..I
GAN right Bella, said Orlando, Smith
tells the truth-l'm exhausted"
And, dearest aunt, he was so much so
