DIsAPPoINTED-Alas, the course of true love
does not alwas run smooth, as may appear from
the following A young man after much en-
treaty got his charmer to agree to marry him.
He then went to the City Clerks office and
there had their names entered as by law re-
auired Five days or more after he went to the
Clerk for certificate of punishment ID. L.
r. told him that he could not give him one OF
his little printed forms with the names of the
two. and greved that he could not do so be-
cause he could not take his paper dollar. In
short Hosea told the young man that the cruel
sparient' had been there and forbid the bans.
Last evening the persistent lover went to inter
cede with the hard hearted parents They were
relentless, the young man became indignant,
hot words followed, and the father drew his
seven shooter. Thereupon the luckless young
man left but as he went down stairs the moth
er threw heavy rug after him which sent him
to the foot of the stairs at a single step. He
found no fault with the warmth of his recep-
ton, but concluded it was 1ather hot for him
and went to find the young lady, who was not
present at the interview, purposing to elope and
oct married. He found the girl, but to his
grief she not only refused to run away but told
MIN she wanted no part of him. The victim Of
mishaps was by this time in state of frenzy
and was last reported to be intent on suicide il
not watched.

BRONCHITIS is an irritation or infam-
nation of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lung. 1t arises from a
cold settled in the throat, from catarrh extend
ing to these parts, rom scrofulous affections,
and from severe uses of the voice. The irrita-
tation from this latter cause commences in the
larynx and glottis, which are the organs of the
voice, and, extending downwards, produces
hoarseness, coughing and splitting mucous
matter, sometimes mixed with blood.
1t is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to
spread into the lungs, and terminate into coz
sumption. 1t is in the cure of severe and obsti-
nate cases of this disease that DIR. S. d. Howe's
Arabian Milk Cure has achieved the most un-
paralleled success-See advertisement w&t
