A NEW DEPARTURE.

A novel and startling mania in the matri-
monial line is developing itself at the North,
and it is one that brings great grief to the
younger female members of society. The old
women in the country have taken fancy to
marry young husbands, and their age and ex-
perience seem to put the younger charms of
rosy maidenhood at a great disadvantage. A
dispatch yesterday from New York an
nounced that one Sarah Fredenburg, TALL
dark, attractive and forty, and a
Sunday school teacher, had kidnapped
a boy of seventeen, named Ellsworth, fled
with him, and surreptitiously married him.
The boys bride is several years older than
his mother. But a few days back the papers
had an account of a suit brought by mature
woman against youth Of eighteen for Sc
duction and breach of promise, and some
months ago a Brooklyn woman applied for
writ of habeas corpus to get possession Of
the body of her baby husband, who was
forcibly detained by his hard-hearted and
obdurate mother But the richest case is
vet to be told. In Brooklyn, that
city Of manifold matrimonial mysteries,
there dwelt two well-to-do widows, aged res
pectively ffty-eight and sixty years. They
had been lifelong friends and their husbands
had been prosperous men and masons in high
standing, and died leaving their widows in
comfortable circumstances. They both had
families of grown children, consisting of sew
eraI daughters each, that were married and
settled In life with children of their own. In
the house Of the younger of these interesting
ladies' lived a young fellow named James,
Who had been for several years in the employ
III her husband. After his death he continued
~ reside in the house and attend to the
widows affairs.
III the course Of time the old lady took it
into her head, or heart, to yearn for this

young man, and she accordingly proposed
marriage, and was duly accepted and became
Mrs. James, This, she says, aroused the en-
Wy OF her friend-the widow OF sixty sum-
mers. This lady, says Mrs. James, immedi-
ately after the marriage multiplied her visits
to her house and was very fond of telling
how similar their lives and experiences had
been, except in one respect-Mrs. James had
been more fortunate than she In getting
young husband to cheer her declining" years
Mrs James could not exactly understand
what her friend meant by declining years,
as she had not been declined" yet she be-
gan to be very much troubled about the
frequent visits of her friend, which
were all the more alarming from the circum-
stance that 1t was always contrived that her
young husband had to see her friend home of
nights. This young man had not been secured
without sacrifices and troubles, and she was
not disposed to allow his susceptible nature
to be subjected TO temptation. Her married
daughters and sons-in-law had raised fear
full row when she proposed to marry him, and
had rufIIed terribly the course of her true
love. But what could she do She had to
let things alone and they soon came to
IleHus JteE lElellu nhu some money, ana
she induced the susceptible youth to
run off with her and help her spend
1t. They disappeared between two suns. and
the bereaved wife Immediately employed
detective to hunt up the truant and bring him
home. The guilty couple, however, escaped
pursuit, and went to q Western city and set
up as husband and wife. In the course of
time the wOman's money was gone and the
young fellow telegraphed to his wife for
money TO come home. She sent 1t and he came
back to her; she forgave him and they we're
happy. She Of sixty confessed her fault and
was also forgiven She of iifty.eight wanted
to know If her husband owed her anything.
for she wanted to pay IT, Oh no, not cent
she of sixty had led him astray. She had
given him $1,000, but she had done IL for love
and had got the worth Of her money In that
almost inappreciabIe article.
All she wanted was forgiveness. and this |
she was accorded, and at last accounts Mrs. |
James was caressing her Jimmy and show |
Ing him with pride and exultation to lot of |
reporters.
There is but one way for the girls to get |
sven, and that is by marrying the old fellows.
But this the girls have been doing all along.
Perhaps the proper question Is, what can be
lone to protect the boys?"

OBITUARY.


Mr. Clarke died at his residence in Oxford,
Chenango county, N. Y, on SUNDAY. June
G0th. He was the oldest son of the late
Ethan Clarke, was born at Erookield. Madi-
son county, in the year 1915, and removed
with his fathers family to Oxford obout 1921,
where he resided continuously until his
decease.
Few men were the equal Of Mr. Clarke in
point of business capacity, judgment, and
foresight, and his integrity and truthfulness
were never questioned. By his energy, at
tention to his work, and great capacity he
built up and carried on for long series Of
years what was for the locality a large mer-
camille business. In 1864 he established the
First National Bank of Oxford. ant. became
its president, which position lie held at the
time of his death. The bank was from the
start a successful venture, and that it was 50
was owing in a great measure TO his guild
ance, foresight, and wisdom. The instances
are rare where man without effort, without
