\ FORTUNATE YOUNG WOMAN.

FORTUNATE YOUNG WOMAN.
Miss CORA ERWIN of Kansas CITY had
expected very soon to dance blithely at her
own wedding. but her tickle sweetheart, re-
aliZing at the last moment his inability to
appreciate the loneliness concentrated in the
person Of the average Missouri maiden,
proved recreant and the ceremony was per
manently postponed. Miss ERWIN properly
enough resented the implied contempt OF
her hitherto undOubted charms and carried
her woes and numerous fervid letters TO
convenient court. A gallant and sympathizing
jury decided that $40, 900 was little enough
for the young man TO pay for not keeping
his arr of the contract, and ace Ordingly
Miss ERWIN is endeayOTing 20 Salve her
wounded affections with that sum. While
she was somewhat at fault for putting her
trust in young man who located in the
overlooked Missouri town when he might
have come 10 the Northwest, there is Vet
hope that Miss ERWIN may rectifY her
error by coming To ST. Paul herself With
farther exhibition of the business
sense which has characterized her she
would find no trouble in investing her
$1,000 in profitable ST. Paul real estate,
while there would be even less difficulty in
securing some young man, more faithful
than the Kansas Cityan, to share with her
the comfortable little fortune so rightfully
wrnng from the latter's pockets. But il is
10 be hoped that the young women Of St
Paul will not regard Miss ERwIN's mode of
procedure thus far as precedent invariably
10 be followed.

OF ducats enables them 10 possess, to shar-
ing limited income with the deprivation
or accustomed selfish indulgencies. OF
course there are MANY young men who take
a different view of the matter, and
having made the experiment find
that crossing the matrimonial Rubicon
brings with it, perhaps, a decrease
in the luxuries of bachelordOm. but far
more than compromising increase in.the
truest comforts Of life But now the ques-
ton becomes one, not Of sentiment. selfish
ness and shel1els alone. but Of life and
death Recent statistics prove indisputably
that while of 100, 900 bachelors between 20
and 25 there are annually 1900 deaths,
while out Of 100. 600 married men the an
nual deaths were only 600. Similarly be-
tween the ages of 80 and SIS 1.5o0 bachelors
die. while only 900 married depart for a
better land. With the bright business
prospects which are now seen in every
branch Of commerce. young men will do
well to ponder on these statistics, and if,
for no nobler reason. allow themselves to
be bound with the silken cord through a
due regard for that principle Of self-pTeser-
walton which is the first law of nature.
