A HUNGARIAN WoMAN's ADVENTURES
WITH HER HUSBANDS.

For the benefit OF that venturesome class
of people who, like those possessed of an
irresistible desire to risk their lives among
savage African tribes, would-the sad ship
wrecks of so many OF their friends not
hstanding-venture on the treacherous
sea of matrimony-for their benefit, | re-
peat, it becomes an imperative duty for me
to make known aunique chance of counubial
bliss which has lately come TO my notice.
1t is of Katharine Chasna, of Verbo, in
Upper Hungary that speak, and let him
that would secure a prize in the marriage
market hasten to the land of pomade and
paprika, and without moments delay
make her his own. For time is pressing :;
she has often been snapped up, and will In
all probability be very soon snapped up
again. A wife who thoroughly under
stands her social duties, and who is perfect
in her PAGES, Is, take it, universally &C
knowledged to be desideratum :" and
if the lady l now have the honor to intro
dnce to public notice does not fulfill this
condition, then nobody ever will. For, like
hersister inholy writ, she has had seven hus-
bands, and the last one has just died. Here,
however, the smile comes to an end for
instead OF the sevenfold widow following
her masters, Katharine Chasna is as sound
as bell, and if what is generally said be
true, has but one anxiety in life, and that
is to get married. sobald ais moglich p"

the list at the ripe age of eighty, seven, held
out thirteen years, and died fortnight
after his one hundredth birthday. How
long he would have lasted under favorable
conditions is an interesting but now boot

Katharina's mind that she was fain to

abundant black hair, and does not look a

has cast her flashing eyes on youth OF 81,
