A Way Gallo Husbands Have.

Paris Dispatch to he London Daily
Telegraph: The following is a curious
chapter from the life of a young Paris
ian, who is the son of wealty parents.
He was sent into a business house in
order to be trained in commercial pur-
suits, his employer being an apparently
prosperous merchant with "A pretty wife
who is gushingly described by a pictur-
esque chronicler as an adorable bru-
nette of twenty-five" Some weeks ago
the youth ran away to London with the
adorable brunette" and his employer
told the disconsolate parents OF
the don Juan" that the guilty
pair had taken Gl,O00 from his
safe. In the meantime the parents re-
ceived "A telegram from their son asking
them to repay the 81 900, and they did
so. A few days after the peccant and
prodigal youth appeared on the scene
alone and detected. The adorable
brunette" had left him on the banks of
the Thames and had fled, but the young
fellow was quite surprised when he was
told about the el 900. He had stolen
nothing, having gone to London with
his " money! Mime. '"Lasenk" also

but the attention of all became fixed on
the interesting couple.
"What shall we eat, love?" said
George, with an en%raptured look at his
divinity.
"Oh, l don't care what; anything you
like best, dear. l just want to sit and
look at you, you darling"
Eyes, but my cherub, you know we
must eat something"
well, l should just like to eat you,
you darling, sweet love-" and uncon-
scious of the surroundings, unconscious
Of anything but her devotion to her
liege lord, she threw her arms aboct his
neck and rained kisses upon his face,
which the young husband, nothing
loath, returned with interest.

self a quantity of underclothes and knit
herself some stocking. She bought a
make her wedding dress when the news
of her expected husbands marriage
reached her. She started out imme-
mediately for a lawyer and began the
suit for damages. Her only explana-
ton of Mr.. Ferguson's conduct is that
she believed "he wanted to be mean"
Mr.. Ferguson is happily spending his
honeymoon with his bride, who was a
maiden of fifty years. He seems very
little concerned about the suit and says

He passed his arm aroun her waist, he
pressed her lily hand,
Her heart stood still, she felt that he a kiss
was bent on stealing,
She tightly shut her eyes and strove her
feelings to command,
While surged the blood unto her cheeks,
her modest fears revealing;
Her waist he squeezed-she hoped, she feared,
she trembled and she gasped-
She never had been kissed before, and
twas a serious matter;
AT length he said, "Good night, my love-"
and dropped the hand he clasped,
And left the maiden fair unkissed and mad

His ExperieuCe,

Together, and of love we talked,
AS young folks do.
At least, l talked of love, and she
Kept looking tcnderly at me
AS II she knew
The sad, sweet pain of Loves strange ways,
All life was sweet, those perfect days.
Those perfect days. How l recall
Her every look and motion, all
Her dainty grace.
How tenderly my arm she pressed
While / my youthful love expressed
Till in her face
] seemed to see, with eager gaze,
An answering look those perfect days.
Those perfect daysl So sweet, and yeti
She may their wretched end forget
never can.
One day she told me that / bored
Her, and explained that she adored
Another man.
Henceforth why should ! sing her praisel
She left me in a perfect daze.

Poor Jenny's Sad Death.

Liverpool Courier: Jane Woodward,
aged twenty-one, lies dead from the
effects of a dose of poison. AT hcrlOdg-
ings was found the following letter ad-
dressed to John Horton, a mechanic, to
whom she was recently engaged:
Dear John: Will you forgive me for
treating you so nasty on November 20?
But | have repented since that time and
/ ofttimes sit and think of the happy
hours we have spent together and wish
| conld have got you to renew the old
love. But | suppose you have turned
against me altogether. Dear John, |
don't want you to give me all the blame.
If | were to explain all to you-but
it is no good doing that now, it is
too late. Dear John, it was not be-
cause Will had any love for me that he
went with me, for | plainly she that he
wanted to part us, for when you were
away for your holidays he got me to go
to n dancing-room, and | refused. |
wish | had kept the promise you asked
me-, but | have cried many an hour since
/ broke that promise. | think it was
the happiest time of my life when you
asked me to go those lovely walks in
summer when the hedges were green
and the flowers in bloom. 1t seems
heartrending to think our love should
be so changed and that we should pass
one another i'm the street as we did on
Easter Sunday. 1t is my wish for you
to have my watch and keep it as long as
you live, in memory OF your old true
love. Wishing you goodbye, and God
bless you. JENNY"

Romance and Realty.

1t is estimated that there are In the
neighborhood OF 1888 young men in
Buffalo, says the Courier. with real
estate on their hands which they wish
t%odispose of at a high figure-a figure
that will enable them to retire from
business and play pool all the rest of
their lives. But the motto should be
small profits, quick sales. A young man
bought a lot on Bouck avenue last year
at this time; he paid S12 a foot. A
month later he sold it for $15 and bought
a new suit. Then he invested the re-
mainder in an East Buffalo lot at $15 a
foot. In June he let it go at $40 and
proposed to his best girl the same even
ing.
She wanted time to think about it,
and while she was thinking he bought
another East Buffalo lot for $19, and be-
fore the glorious Fourth he sold it for
$50. The girl accepted him the same
night. After paying for the engage
ment ring out of the profits, bought a
lot out on Main streets, this side the
belt line for 1856 a foot. He's wonder
ing now whether to sell it for $50 and
get married or wait and sell it for $50.
The girl says she can wait if he can, so
they re sitting on the fence waiting for
the price to touch $50, in which case
they'll get married ten minutes later.

EIopement OF a Midget.
A ST. Paul dispatch to the N. Y.
Herald says: Albert Beadle, employed
by Mrs. Henry Hoskins in West. st.
Paul as coachman and man of all work,
had served the family in a similar ca
pacity in Dakota. Considering him to
be a treasure in the rough, Mrs. Hos
kins, on removing from Dakota to West
st. Paul, told Beadle he might keep up
with the procession, and he did. He
also, as other coachmen have done,
managed to fall in love with the daugh-
ter and heir to the Hoskins wealth.
Miss Hoskins is small in stature, but
has attained the age when the law says
she is her W mistress. Compared
with her, Mrs. Tom Thumb is a giant
ess. Beadle conceived Il liking for the
little woman, chiefly, as he claimed,
because of the i'll treatment she re-
ceived at the hands of the mother. His
affections were returned by the midget,
who is scarcely two feet in height.
The two eloped a week ago. The
mother traced them to Minneapolis.
Beadle was arrested and fined for alb
duction. Through the girls brother a
correspondence was carried on, and last
night the PAIR met again at the Office of
Justice Nelson and were married.
The mother has disowned the girl.
Beadle left with his midget wife for
Kentucky tonight.
