CHICAGO Tribune: g a young man
read in the Ledger a few days ago,
that if you wanted TO find out if wo-
man you had selected for your future
spouse had good temper. you ought
to take occasion TO step on nef dress,
or snap the stick OF her fan, or in some
other way annoy or discohipese her.
"If," said The great authority who pre-
sides over the column of advice, " if
she betrays no sign of i'll temper, she
will prove a model WIFE" According
ly the young man seized an opportu-
nifty when his sweetheart was rigged
out in her most killing array TO step
on her trail and pulled out three yards
of gathers, with rip like peal of
thunder, exposing about three quar-
ters of the framework that makes her
dress stick out behind. But, instead
of meeting the accident with quiet
equanimity, she turned round and jab-
bed her parasol into his eye, called
him junk-headed leper, and asked
him why he didn't wear his feet side
ways. lie expressed himselfas thank
ful that he did not marry the girl be-
fore finding out what sort of aitemper
she had, but the doctor. doesn't think
his eve will grow out again.

He hastened to WOO her, and sweetiy he wooed,
For his love grew until a mountain it grewed,
And what he was longing to do then he doed.
In secret he wanted to speak and he spoke;
To seek with his lips what his heart long had

So she managed to let the truth leak. and it
loke.
He asked her to tide to the church, and they
rode.
They so sweetIy did glide that they both said

And they came to the place to be tied. and were

pointed first lieutenant of Geographical
engineers. On May 9. 1861. he threw up
his commission as major, First Cavalry,
