ladies who thilk proper to correspond With re-
ected lovers would perhaps do we'll to tske q
hint from tho following curious oss,, which is,
however, authentic. Mile. Felicie Naxy, who
ives on lbc farm of Peotec1to, 90 the Belgiao
frontier, was on the point Of being married,
when she received letter from an old sutton
asking her to reconsider the matter, and send
him an Immediate reply. A postage stamp
was gsllsDty iucosed to dtftay the cass OF
Transmission.
Ths answer dulY.Hritteu, Mile. May applied
tho stamp TO her fair lips; but ha dly had shs
done go when she felt sharp pain 10. her tom
que, aud ia less than 60 time that interesting
member became horribly elongated and in
famed and covered her With no5ome sores.
This discousolate one, Alfred Camin By name,
a farmer at PloboD. 10 the Nord. has been ar
rested, but declares that be used no noxious
drug, but simply ploistened corner OF the
stamp with his own lips-a delicate way of
stealing kiss. Such is the state OF the cas-,
as it stands at nresent, but the tale carries it's
own moral.-Raris Cor. London Telegraph.
