THE DENoUEMENT.
/ This brought matters nearly TO a
head. On Friday :here 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
ak o'clock. There was little time to
make kepreparations to deceive Romeo" F"
! At first it was resolved TO thrash him.
/ TO this the ladies demuIred, and it was
then decided to bring him TO the lady 5
house. present him to an assembled
company, and then falls tEp0so him.
Accordingly the young lady and her
aunt, followed by Uncle Henry, repaired
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-
sented by Uncle Henry to company oi
! ladies and gentlemen as "a fair speci-
men of New York lady masher
4 The scene that followed may be imag-
! ined A " sicker Romeo" was never
seen. In a rather manly way the fel-
low apologized for his first note, but
I defended the others. After receiving q
,series of wholesome lectures and being
made TO promise never to transgress
again, he was allowed to go. He begged
that his full name and address, which
he gave freely. would not be published
1t was so agreed, and hence the sup.
! preston of names.
