Miss CaIdweil's Love Grow cold.
LOuisviI Post.

NNtsn S"u"NAh <ohS oEVW oiu
Louisville Post.
A young lady who is visiting here
and who is a very intimate friend Of
; ; Miss Mary Gwendolin Caldwell, has
just received a letter from the young
heiress, whose engagement to Prince
Murat has attained so much no o.
riety. Miss Caldwell writes to her
friend that the formal bethrothal
has been indefinitely postponed on
account Of an unwritten law of the
French and Italian aristocracy,
which requires the contracting
parties to produce, at their betroth-
al, the baptlsmal certificates Of their
parents and grandparents. This
Miss Caldwell is unable to do, as
there is no record of her grand
mothers baptism, and a hitch in
the proceedings is the result. Miss
Caldwell intimates that she would
not care at all il the wedding should
not take place. Miss CaldwelI's
friend thinks that if the whole thinks
that if the whole thingfalls through
it will not be the fault of the bride
groom nor of The laws of aristocracy,
but Of the fair fancs herself. This
is not the first time Miss Caldwell
has promised her hand in marriage
and has -econsidered her action after
the engagement had been made pub
lie. She was engaged to an Italian
Prince about three years ago, and
the match was considered the best to
made in Europe, but, like several
Others before, il was broken OF by
the young lady. Miss Caldwell's
first love was young lawyer Of
this city, but the engagement was
objected to. lie has since married.
In a former letter Miss Caldwell
said: "You may be sure that | al
ways intended to be my own finan-
cier. | am willing to allow any
husband ! may have a sufficient in
come TO enable him to dress we'll
and pay his club dues, but he will
never have the management Of q
cent Of my principal. MARY ha:
a will Of her own" said our mutual
friend, "and she means what she
says. Perhaps Prince Murate found
this out before il was too late"

The Lost Novel.

Alas! my summer novel
! mourn it with a sigh;
The day | rashly bought it,
A friend was standing by.
Forthwith the book he borrowed,
To be returned that night;
And since that fatal moment
Ii ne'er has blessed my sight.
He lent it to his cousin,
And she enjoyed it so
She lent it to a peighbor,
Who kept it on the 60.
And lent it to her uncle, -.....-
Who lent it to his girl,
Who lent it to her teacher,
Who, with another whirl. SO
Sent it unto a nephew, ~.{ 4
Who lent it TO a friend,
Who sent it to a roommate,
And, oh, where will it end?
Throughout this maldening bust
ness .@~#
Une hope alone see:
Mayhap, in all this lending,
IL may be lent to me. 5E
