"C.ess," the New lpsk :oy,esrondent of the
Chicsgo litter Ocean, tells the following story:
One of the most brilliant bellies that this
country has ever boosted of was Boston
girl, whose beautiful face was known in
every large city and pleasure resort of the
East. Tall, with & superbly moulded figure
and elegant carriage, she had an oval face
Of such exquisite loveliness that it inspired
the pen of more than one of our native
poets and the brush of great English ar
ust. Her TEXTURES were Us regular as those
of Greek antique, but had charms cold
marble fails to express, in th. delicious COL
oring of rose and white, the great violet
eyes, sparkling with wit and animation, and
the curved red lips that parted over small,
translucent teeth. Some of the best blood in
New England ran in her veins, but the fam
lily impoverished by misfortune, could not
afford the proper setting for this human
gem, SO beauty that would have shone in
cashmeres was condemned to cambrics, and
daisies had to take the place of diamonds.
The one desire of her friends was for her
to make rich marriage, and they were
highly gfsti6ea on hearing of her engage
mert to an exceedingly wealthy young New
| Yorker. He was q parvenu-vulgar, uned-
ucated, ostentatious-but he had money
enough to gild his vulgarities into "eccen-
| tricities, and to make society blink its eyes
when he committed himself in the drawing
room. The wedding took place with great
eclat-preciods stones, Pinard and live
prince were features of the occasion, and
