Bill Nye's Engagement Broken.

81 have just received a letter from
my friend Bill Nye, of The Laramie
City Boomerang, wherein he informs
me that he is engaged to the beautiful
and accomplished Lydia E. Pinkham,
of Vegetable Compound" fame, and
that the wedding will take place on
next Christmas. To be sure am ex-
pected at the wedding, aud I'll be on
hand if can secure clean shirt by
that time, and the roads amt too bad
But Pm somewhat at a loss what to get
as a suitable present, as Bill informs me
in postscript to his letter, that gifts
of bibles, albums nickle-plated pickle
dishes, chromos with frames, and the
like, will not be in order, as it is utterly
impossible to pawn the articles of this
kind in Laramie City.-The Bohemian I"
We are sorry that the above letter,
which we dashed off in careless mo-
ment has been placed before the public,
as later developments have entirely
changed the aspect of the matter, as
the engagement between ourself and
Lydia having been rudely broken by
the young lady herself. She has re-
turned the solitaire filled ling, and
henceforth we can be nothing to each
other than friends. The promise which
babe fair to yield so much Joy in the
future, has been ruthlesslv yanke6
asunaer, and two young hearts must
bleed through the coming years. Far
be it from US to say aught that wou Id
reflect upon the record of Miss Pink
ham. 1t would only imperil her chan
ces in the future and deny her the
sweet satisfaction of gathering in other
guileless suckers like us. The truth,
however, cannot be evaded that Lydia
is no longer young. She is now in the
sere and yellow leaf. The gurgli.g of
girlhood and the rompipg, careless
grace of her childhood are matters Of
ancient history alone.
We might 60 on and tell how one
thing brought on another till the quar-
rel occurred, and hot words and an as-
saul. and battery led to this estrange-
ment, but we viii not do it. It would
be wrong for great, strong man to
take advantage of his strength and the

Society that if their charter doesn't cover such cases as this, the sooner they move for an amendment. the sooner will the public believe them to be in reality that which they now claim to be, actuated by humane motives. We ask their attention also to the frontispice illustration in last weeks number of the paper called ''The Judge,'' where young girl is posing be- tween the generous offer of a humane gen. tleman on one side, who offers shirts to be made for the magnanimous compensation of 45 c. per doz., and that of another who offers her refuge in the 'Palace of Joy" Perhaps careful study of the industrial system which makes inevitable condition of affairs such as this, will assist mater ially in enabling them to discern even the cause of Patrick Farley being obliged to drive a foundered horse and James Will son to half starve his COW.
