Very Romantic.

In this case the young lady came tc
 Boston from a country town in New Hampshire. She was a good specimen of the country girl, in robust health, and formed after the English model in frame-or after what has been supposed to be the English model, for observe that Richard Grant White denies thai the English girl is of buxom build. This girl made no pretensions tc "style." She was well educated, and first got some copying work to do, later receiving employment in the public library. There her English lover saw her. He was the younger son of a dis tinguished and noble family, and he had very large wealth in his own right. He was here partially in the hope that change of air would cure a defect Of hearing with which he was afflicted. He used to visit the public library and talk, mostly in a business way, about books with this young lady. By and by he asked permission to call on her at her boarding g-house-one of the respectable but far from pretentious places in the city at which boarders are taken. She declined to accord the permission. He then one night left the library with her, and waited upon her to her boarding house door,, There her brother, who boarded with her, saw him, and objected to this being continued until she knew more about him. The gentleman then went to some friends in the city and procured letters setting forth who he was. On this the lady consented that he should call. He came regularly after ward, and soon formally offered himself to her in marriage. She refused him outright. She reminded him of the difference in their conditions and de- clared she would never agree to a mar riage which must be so distasteful to his family. Without telling her what he was to do, he took the next steamer for England, and in few weeks reappeared with collection of the most cordial let ters from all his near relations, promis- ing the lady warm welcome into the family, and accompanied by a really dazzling array of presents. She refused to touch one of them, and again declared that she would not marry him-this time because her own parents would object. The lover, in the same quiet way, started db OAOO lO1 buO 1NOM dlupoll1lO 1d1LI. He came upon the parents unheralded, and introduced himself. They too re- fused him. But they were struck with his manliness and simplicity, and agreed finally to leave the decision with the daughter. His devotion had its effect on her at last. She yielded; but, wit, genuine American independence, she would be under no obligation to him till they were married. She would not even accept an engagement ring. She made her own trousseau, and it was very simple. They were married and at once went abroad. She says the severest or deal of her life was when she first met her husbands relations. To show how simple her life had been, it is fact that at the reception there made for her she put on an evening party dress for the first time in her life. Her husband had the tact to take her very early to the continent. They spent year of travel there, and when she came home she understood all about what was required in her new life. One of her sisters was with her during this year, but after 1t was over came back to America and went to work to earn her living again. The couple visit America occasionally. They have spent one year in California. The marriage has proved a very happy one.
