A LIt.Is 81, Of ksmanos.
New York correspondence, tos.os Journ.

New York eorrsspondsnes Bostoa tournai.l
Last Summer q well.known and
wealthy manufacturer Of New England
visited tho White Mountains. He be-
came infatuated with one OF the walter
girls. He was seventy and the maiden
was seventeen. He agreed to give her
an education and adopt her. though he
had several daughters 81 his own. She
joyfully accepted the proposition, hung
her white apron behind tho door, and
started on hsr new life. OF course the
connection could not DO very satisfactory
to the family. Tho girl had q vein OF
shrewdness about her. and insisted that
q formal paper Of adoption should be
drawn up. This was done, and the girl
was sent 10 n well-known education
institution 10 receive q little polish. A
correspondence was kept up between the
parties. But to outsidsrs the matter
was not satisfactory. and the Principal
refused TO receive the young lady into
tho school after the vacation was over.
Soon after the gentleman became crazy,
and was removed TO o lunstic asylum-
removed. the girl said, 10 get him beyond
her reach. The rsmittances failed. and
Of sourse thsro was trouble In the new
school into which the girl had entered.
On the passing away OF insanity. the
infatuation Of tho old man seemed TO 20
with II. He tried to break up the cor
respondence. but without success. and
the family eIertsd all their influence to
recover the fatal bond OF adoption; but
the girl held on TO 1t. She had, besides,
a bushel Of letters breathing the most
ardent affection. A p~ecuniary negotia-
ton wal set on foot, which at first tho
maiden r%epudiated. She professsd to be
devotedly attached to the old man, and
did not want money. But 1t was dissov-
cred that the document, as a legal claim,
wa not worth the paper II was written
on. Then the girl came TO terms, and
the sum OF $751; 500 healed her broken
heart and wrung from her an obligation
that she would trouble the old man NO
more. She docs not propose to 60 in
search OF her apron.
