THE CoURrsHIP OF GREAT MEN =


THE CoURrsHIP OF CHEAT MEN =
The Rev. &. C.. Goss lCctured in Utah
Hall, last evening", on The Moral As
pcct Of Courtship rs Illustrated In Dis
finguished Men of Modern Times He
said: Sir Isaac Newton is said to have
loved only once. This may be true,
but | hardly believe it. A man may
love a score of times and not reveal 1t.
The great Newton was a very eccentric
lover. He was in the habit of sitting
silently in the presence Of his sweet
heart for many hours. He was very
absent-minded, and il is said the es-
arrangement between him and the lady
was caused by his unconscious use of
her finger once as a pipe stopper. Young
girls had better never marry philoso-
piers if they yearn FOR the caresses of
affection"
The speaker next referred to Daniel
O'Connelrs coHrtship. ''He was a

should be honest and sincere, moi for

John Brown courted seven years with
out kissing the object of his affection.
After this Period had elapsed he asked
herif he might kiss her. She acquiesced
but instead of INDUCING in the luxury
he said: Let US pray. A kiss under such
circumstances is no kiss at all. Ny
experience is that a stolen kiss is the
best. | believe praying should be
more practised in connection with
courtship all along the line, but this
was not a time for praying. He might

Pawnlng q Wife,
(London Standard.)

Many strange articles have been
pledged by persons finding themselves
with an empty pocket and an lnexorable
creditor; but to few newly married men
would it occur to leave their wife behind
as a guarantee of payment for wedding
feast. This, however, was, according to
to French cotemporary, the means
taken by bridegroom who, after the
Mayor and priest had pronounced him q
benedict, repaired with the wedding
guests and his wife to St. 1laude, near
Paris, to wind up the day with a fitting
repast. Justice having been done to the
dinner, the guests bid adieu to
the married couple after the custo-
nary hopes for their future domestic
felicity had been duly expressed. Then
came the restauranteur with his little bill,
amounting to over 120 francs. The sum
was not a large one, but moderate though

the call made upon his resources was, the
bridegroom found himself unable to meet
it. Taking the innkeeper aside, he OK
planned that he had ''left his purse at
home," circumstance he regretted, since
it obliged him to leave "precious arti-
cle'' with his creditor for few hours
while he went to fetch it. The latter nat
urally expected that watch, ring or
something Of that description would be
placed in his hand as guarantee of pay
ment, but to his surprise, his debtor,
pointing to his young wife, told him that
he condded her to his keeping promising
to return and llberate her in . short time.
The offer was accepted, and the bride was
left in pawn. The hour of midnight
struck and found the anxious
bride still awaiting the return of her lord.
The restaurant was closed, its owner
grew uneasy, then angry, and ultimately,
finding it weary Work sitting up with
woman in tears, he ordered her to a gar
ret bed room, the door of which he care
fully locked upon his prisoner. The tol.
lowing day passed and the bride was un-
redeemed The inkeeper inquired if she
had any relatives, and on being answered
in the negative the exasperated creditor
informed her that she must don cooks
apron, and lay aside the orange flowers
and set to work to earn her daily food un-
til such time ~ her faithless husband ap-
peared to claim her and pay him. This
was sad sequel to the wedding day, but
perhaps ere now the police, aiding the
poor forlorn bride have succeeded in dis
covering the whereabouts Of her heartless
and ill-mannered spouse.
