Taste in Wives.

From the New York Tribune.
A worthy young Connecticut farmer being
persuaded that sit is not good for man to be
alone" came to this city to seek q wife. Sew.
eral of his %neighbors had taken to themselves
helpmeets from among the plump and pleasing
immigrants, and these matches had all turned
out 30 we'll that he was minded to follow suit
But having inspected tho arrivals OF eligible
girls at Castle Garden for two or three days,
and not having as yet seen any one to whom
his heart went out, this adventurous agricul.
turist bethought himself of another plan, and
one for which, indeed, he had no warrant
Of neighborly example. He had read in the
papers some little time ago an account OF the
arrest OF . young woman named Emma LARA
bee for burglary. This young woman was de-
scribed as . professional burglar, and 1t was
said she had an uncomfortable passion for
that kind of illegitimate amusement Now il
occurred to the young man from Connecticut
that If Miss Larrabes would marry him he
might be able to reclaim her, and forthwith he
sought her out As he promptly ascertained
that she had a prior engagement in the peni-
tertiary, it may be hoped that he will detach
his affections from this bright particular star,
and rest content with some less notorious but
probably more trustworthy maiden from over
the sea, il indeed the good state of Connecticut

can wife.
But though his taste in choosing awife may
seem odd it is but the outcropping OF a ten
dency which is by no means new. When, for
merly, Australia was q penal colony, the set
tiers were allowed to marry the female convicts,
and it was observedthat those women who had
the hardest records always were snapped up
frat. In the same way when young women
have committed startling crimes they have in.
variably attracted suitors if they escaped the
gallows. A remarkable instance Of this was
the case OF Madeline Smith, q Scotch girl of
good family and position who poisoned her
lover in Edinburg some thirty years ago The
trial was very sensational. It was shown that
the prisoner had had q liaison with the de-
ceased, who was a Frenchman, and that desir-
ing to marry a man in her own station she de-
liberately murdered the lover. The Jury
brought in the Scotch verdict, ssnot proven, b
though her guilt was clear, and within a week.
she had more than twenty offers of marriage.
tlonghshe was known to be a poisoner. Cases
of this kind go to show that the women who
gush over murderers and fill their cells with
flowers, have not q monopoly of that particular
sort of folly, but that men, too, are amenabls
to the subtle magnetism of notoriety, and are
quite As capable of playing the moth to Grim
inal luminaries, provided the latter are young
and good looking. And it is not always that the
friendly wallis Of q pemrtentiary interpose be-
tween these fascinated moths and the fatal at.
traction which would 80 surely SINCE their
wings.

her mother received the letter from her
written in Paris, which we annex. and
with which we close our tale:
"MY DARLING MAMMA-You cannot
think how anxious / am to get back to
you, but our stay in this gay and wicked
city is again prolonged by business. When
wrote you last l told you that we should
leave in the packet which goes tomorrow,
and by which Arthur will send this.
''The strangest circumstance has taken
place, and it will keep us here until az
other packet leaves.
1t seems some years ago, when Arthur's
grandfather died, the executor of his will
turned the estate into money and ran away
with it. He came here and invested 1t,
and by fortunate speculations increasedit
very largely, and when he died last year
he left an immense estate. He was child
less and had no near relatives, and he
made will leaving it all to Arthur. 1t
may be, too, that he was conscience-smit-
ten, for it seems he had made inquiry about
the heirs of DR.. LIE Verrier and learned
that Arthur was his only child.
"Haughton II lie Verrier's factors
were notified few days ago that such a
will existed, and that Arthur could get
the property by taking the necessary legal
steps, and he will remain here now until
he gets possession of it. Therefore the

CHAPTER XXXI.

They had not proceeded far in their ride
ere Frank introduced the subject which
was uppermOst in his thoughts. Clare
| begged him to drop it, telling him it was
| something she could not talk about, but
when he said to her that he had talked
with MT. lie Verrier long and freely about
it, her heart melted towards him. and she
poured out her feelings to him freely. She
told how like q thunderbolt Arthur's let
ter came upon her, telling her she was re-
leased.
1.-The mystery to me is, Glare. how you
came to ask him to release you"
Il ask him?" Clare exclaimed, with
establishment. Il never dreamed OF such
a thing"
''He says you wrote requesting him to re-
lease you, and he responded Immediately,
telling you that you were free"
''UOW could Arthur say that" said
Clare. 81 always thought him so truth
full"
Gle is, Glare, the soul oitruth. lie would
not tell what was false for the wealth Of
the world. You must certainly have
written to him something to that effect"
"But / did not, Frank. Could l ask
him to release me from vows which were
the JOY of my life; from bondage sweeter
than ever freedom was to those who priced
il m0sti He was the light of my eyes,
Frank, the music of my soul, the breath
OF my life. l would sooner far have
thought Of cutting off my right hand than
OF asking him TO free me from my engage
ment."
There must be some mistake about it.

II do not know of any,
"He certainly received letter purport-
ing 10 be from you, such as l have
related to you. He repeated the letter to
me, word for word. By the way, where
are your letters to him: Have they ever
been returned to you!'
''They have not. He wrote me that he
would leave them with Uncle HaughtOn,
subject to my order, but never sent for
them; Of course they are nothing to me
now, do not desire even TO rest my eyes
on them again. l suppose Uncle Haugh-
ton has them still, but l wish he would
burn the package. Several times l have
tried to bring myself to tell him so, but
my aversion to abiding to the subject has
kept me silent. Until this conversation

mouth about this matter to anyone but

Our travellers were on their wav the
next evening, ard the impotence Of the
one party fully kept pace with that of the
other.
They made the distance in less than
three days, and reached Glenside twenty
four hours before the happy hearts which
were awaiting their arrival looked for
them.
Louise had said Frank would be COM
PEELED to spend one day in New Orleans.
and possibly two,to attend to all the COM
missions she had given him, have the ex-
PLANTATION with Arthur and make a short
visit to his parents. Clare knew in her
own heart that he would not come alone,
unless Arthur had left the city--indeed,
they all looked for him with Frank though
no one had said so.
Though they came in Unexpectedly the
group they surprised were talking of them
when they opened the door and entered
unannounced.
Who can paint the joy of that meeting!
Frank and Louise thought they were as
happy as it was possible for mortals to be,
but the joy of Arthur and Glare far trans
cended theirs. Their bitter estrangement
was at an end. The misunderstanding
which had deprived one of health and both
OF comfort for months past no longer
existed. No happier group ever gathered
around one board than they were there
that night.
''And what is to become of Miss Thomp-
son? said Frank, ''shall you attempt TO
bring her to punishment for the fraud
which she has committed and which has
cost Tou so much misery?"
