A Wife for a SOap-FactOry.

THE following sketch in the New York
Mercury may be a trifle overdrawn, but
is none the less interesting on that ac-
count:
James Brodhead, a young lawyer IN
Western town, though bright young
fellow, did not have many clients. HIS
pocket book was by no means plethorlc,
| a fact in part due to the attentions he
paid TO Miss Belle Mondon, the only
daughter of Cyrenius Mondon, the rich
est man in the place. Belle fully de-
served to be yearned for. She was as
good as she was pretty. She had many
| suitors, but gave James Brodhead the
preference. She knew he loved her, and
she told him she reciprocated his pas
sion. Unfortunately, her worldly-minded
father did not see it in that way, and one
day forbade the young lawyer his house,
and informed his weeping daughter that
she must dismiss all thoughts OF her
lover from her mind. Mr.. Mondon was
man of strong will, and Brodhead knew
his case was about hopeless. "Elope
with her," suggested his fast friend and
chum, Johnny Sanders, an ingenious
Young fellow, who, somehow or other,
always succeeded in benefting by his
smartness others than himself. Won't

him as best he could and, after leaving
