"Allthe world, "sSg Us Emerson, ''lovesa
lover" ard is interested In everything
pertaining to his or her welfare. For this
reason, If no other, says the Philadelphia
Record, the case Of Morgan VS.. Wilson,
which was docided last week by q right
eous Judge at Newark, N. j., has ap-
pealed strongly to the public sympathy.
Mrs. Wilson, the landlady Of a board.
ing-house, claimed from Miss Morgan, a
boarder, the sum Of "a for "wear and
tear on household effects; caused by the
visits OF her. beau;" and, as the young
lady very properly refused to pay 1t, the
landlady seized her trunk.
A more nagrant outrage than this on
the inalienable right OF lovers could not
be imagined. The damage to the furni-
ture was slight at best. There was a
depression Of some six inches deep in
the middle OF tho sofa, while the springs
were displaced, and the carpet in front
Of the sofa was worn into holes.
Far be it from us to seek to penetrate
the mystery Of that depression or those
holes. tits sufficient to say that such
conditions are not uncommon where
young couples are accounting, and that
they are founded on law as immutable
as that OF gravitation. There are
certain things needed in courting-a
cozy room, sofa, minimum supply OF
gas, and, on winter nights, maximum
supply OF coal. The knowledge that tho
dog is chained up, that the girls little
brother is not in hiding undcr the sofa,
and that the old man has taken cff his
boots and incased his feet in slippers
have also been claimed TO be aids to
successful courtship; although the
highest authorities on the subject have
never gone SO far as to hold that they
arc absolutely essential. In the alb
sence of q sofa rockingham has
sometimes been known to be sufficient
for all purposes; but 1t is tricky and has
grain of malice in its composition,
and experts have, therefore, generally
given their preference to the sofa.
The landlady's plea that "a was little
enough for three months courting was
promptly met by the judge, who held
that the question OF issue was
not she value OF the courting, but the
amount of damage done to tho furniture
beyond the ordinary wear and tear OF
three months. There was no proof that
Miss Morgan or her friend caused the
lamage, and as Mrs. Wilson, when she
received Miss Morgan as boarder, had
agreed TO accord her all the rights Of q
young lady, tho right to be courted was
necessarily included, and the seizure of
the trunk was illegal and unjustifiable.
The decision, so thoroughly based
upon right and equity, should go thun-
iering down the ages. Had the judge
been crusty old bachelor he might
have established precedentof the most
tateful character. Instead Of that Miss
Morgan has her trunk, and she would be
bold landlady indeed who should at
tempt in future to put sordid and mer-
cenary aspect upon the condition Of
carpet the holes in which may be typical
Of true love and devotion.
