THE HYMENOMETER.
The hands of this instrument, the won
derful, never failing predictor OF matri-
monlal events are amoXe. Aha! Tney
stop. CHANGING at the dial ono notices
them in sweet rGpOse in front of two
names. One is that of Il young man ia
II Fourteenth street fuel office. the other
that of II young lady who is engaged in
teaching, and is the sister OF Il newly
elected county official. The hands ia
this case are settled to such solemn re-
pose that it is easy to predict tiat the
happy event will occur in the near
future.
Again the hands are trembling and
point to " nnmeS-One thai of Il gen
tlcman who has II leaien occupation,
the other that of IA young lady from

lent between Sixteenth and seventeenth
The hands are ~suspiciouSlv Restless, but
it is believed that the glorious date is
near at hand.
Again the subtle magnetism Of cupid's
presence cause the hands TO change
their position. This time two new names
ARE pointed out-those of II young gen.
tleman holding Il position in tho barb
wire fence concern, and n young lady
living on Eighteenth street. There
