THE CoACHY's BRIDE.

| The Victoria Morosini- Hulska mp
social sensation is thing of the past.
Last week the heroine went out of the
concert business, her tour terminating
in Chicago ina dismal failure, nobody
being sufficiently interested in the girl
to pay the price of admission to see her
and hear her sing. She, her manager
and her agent (husband) returned to
New York, and she found herself, per-
haps for the first time since her elope-
ment last fall, intelligently face to face
with her true situation and circum-
stances. Up to the present time, since
her marriage, she has lived in romance,
which blinded her eyes to the reality;
five months OF romance and now comes
the sober. solemn, plain truth. A little
while ago she was the loving ESQ she
thought) bride of proud husband,
talked about, sought after, criticised and
admired by the people, who condemned
her judgment, but applauded her cour
age; now she is the wife of an i'll
born, low-bred, ignorant, brutal sort OF
fellow, who is inferior to her in every
respect, whose tastes and sympathies
are entirely unlike hers, whose mode of
life is repulsive to her, and whom she
cannot help but despise for what he is,
has been and has done The fact that
he was her fathers coachman is not
cause for censure, nor does it run to
his discredit; the fact that he aspired
to the hand of his employers daughter,
and married her clandestinely, stamps
him as the knave. There are good and
honest coachmen, but they are not
proper husbands for the educated, cul-
tivated, refined daughters of the rich.
When they try to win such girls they
show lack of the honest manhood
which can exist in the poor and lowlv
as well as in the rich and noble; they dis
play inbern dishonesty, and downright
rascality. tits said that the girl is entitled
to no sympathy in such a case, as she
voluntarily threw herself away with her
eyes open. If her eyes were open, she
should have no sympathy. and ought to
reap what she had sown without COM
miserahon; but her eyes are not opened
until the fatal step has been. If Victoria
