A Short COurtshfp.

A GERMAN living in Hyde Park, who
had the misfortune short time ago to
lose his wife, leaving him with q large
family of young children to look after and
care for, was in a peck Of trouble until
last week. He could not get any one
competent to take charge of his family
and manage the mansion according to his
idea. He tried servants, sisters and
sisters-in-law, but it was no 60, and he
finally make up his mind to get a second
wife-a mother for his children. He
thought of every girl and widow of his
acquaintance, for miles around, but could
not hit upon one that he thought he
could live with congenially. A happy
thought struck him. lie had heard of
advertising for wife, and of women in
serting notices in newspapers for hus-
bands. He invested five cents in New
York Herald, went home, locked himself
into room, and Immediately went for
the page that contains the personals and
wants. After careful scrutiny he hit
upon q name whose fair possessor he
imagined would make him a genial CON-
panion, and his children kind and loving
mother. Thenext morning after breakfast,
he told his mother, who had then charge
of his household, that he was going to
New York. but he did not mention his
Grand. He carefully noted in his men,
orandum the name and number of the
fair advertiser. He arrived in New York
that night. The next morning after
breakfast he started out in search of the
residence of the woman he wished to
make his companion for life. After half
an hours walk he got on the right street.
and when within few numbers Of the
house where the beau ideal of his thoughts
was living, he stepped into lager beer
saloon to get glass to steady his nerves
and revive his spirits for the trying or.
deal. In conversation with his German
brother he revealed the object of his visit
to the city, and pointed to the house
where "she" lived. His friend remon.
strated with him and told him not to GO
there, or else he would regret it the long.
est day he lived. He then proposed to
furnish him a wife. The offer was accept
ed, and the old gentleman went into his
house and brought forth a hale, hearty
lass of the Teutonic stamp. After few
hours conversation, they concluded to gel
married, and married they were that day
