THE DENoUEMENT.
This brought matters nearly to a
head. On Friday there was great hustle
in the young lady's house in Elm street.
Uncle Henry was in New York when
the letter arrived. He got home about
six o'clock. There was little time to
make preparations to deceive Romeo"
At first it was resolved to thrash him.
To this the ladies demurred, and it was
then decided to bring him TO the lady's
house, present him to an assembled
company, and then fully expose him.
Accordingly the young lady and her
aunt, followed by Uncle Henry, repa red
to Military Park at the appointed hour,
and there easily found Romeo" vio-
lets, cane and cigar. The ladies clev-
erly carried out their part, and led the
fellow to the residence in Elm street.
He was taken into the parlor and pre-
scented by Uncle Henry to a company of
ladies and gentlemen as ga fair Speci,
men of a New York lady masher.'
The scene that followed may be mag
ined. A "sicker Romeo was never
seen. In a rather manly way the fell
low apoloyized for his first note. but
defended the others. After receiving a
series of wholesome lectures and being
made to promise never TO transgress
again, he was allowedto go. He begged
that his full name and address. which
he gave freely, would not be published.
1t was St agreed, and hence the sup
preston of names.
