From the Neto York World
Mrs. Sarah J. Wilson, of No 1873 Howard
street, Newark N. j., has been in sore dis
tress for the past four days. Her mind has
grappled with an unsolved financial, social
and amatory problem, and she has come off
somewhat the worse for the encounter
Jersey equity in the shape of His Honor
Mr.. Justice AMI Dean, of the police court,
has ste Jped in at the last moment and
rudely upset Mrs Wilson's solution of
puzzle that has hitherto been dealt with
oAly by big-brained but inexperienced
funny editors, and expert but wrath pref
udced fathers. The problem is this:
"Wha is it worth to let young man wear
out your furniture while he holds hands
with and otherwise courts the girl of the
ia nily"
Let all true lovers listen to this tale; let
all good maids moderate their sweethearts'
calls thereby, and let all mothers, fathers,
teachers, guardians, and sprint al pastors
and masters ponder deeply and profit by
the complicated experience of John Dennis,
Ida J. Morgan, and Mrs. Sarah J. Wilson
Ida is dark haired, bro %n-eyed, red
checked and pretty. Not beautiful enough
to make poet sit up all night trying to
fl I'd love-word to rhyme with Ida, but
still a plump ard pretty young person.
That is what John Dennis thought of her
when he first met her last summer out in
Warwick Orange county, n. Y, and that
is what he thinks of her to this day. Ida
moved to Newark a little more than three
months ago to live with her ault's sister-in
law, Mrs. Sarah j. Wilson. Mrs Wilson lives
on the top floor of No. 133 Howard street
in q small suit of small rooms, each of
which is as bright and sweetly aired and
neatly kept as if the President were going
TO live in it. John began to call on Ida
when she came to town just as he used to in
the country She did 1t listen to popular
clamor and scorn his humole suit because
his name was Dennis. Far from it, she en-
outraged him to call often and not be in a
hurry to go. hoping that thereby, mayhap,
her name might become Dennis. And in
deed his status was as opposite as possible to
tina, of the Sunday-bre scherless poet who
thus bewails his lot.
When called on Miss MCGEE
did it surreptitously,
And thing were far from pleasant when came
to say goodnight
Her father in the front yard
Was layin for me viclously,
And Towser in the back yard was spelling for
fight.
No; far from it.
John Dennis courted Ida j. Morgan unre-
mittingly from the time of her arrival at
Mrs. Wilso .'s until she moved away las,
Monday, and, for all that good lady knows
1t is now necessary t. 60 a little ahead
of the ale for minute, to the end that we
may all be ell informed aud able to con-
der what afterwards is related with calm
ness and dispassio1ate justice. Ida j.
packed her turnk Monday and
to move. She had paid her board
up to next Saturday night, but
Mrs. Wilson forbade the girl to take her
trunk away until she should have give up
$40 more-S6 for three months washing
and "a for what Mrs. Wilson then and
there defiled as swear and tear on house
hold effects. caused by the coming in and
going odt of a friend"
John Denuls was that friend, gentle
reader.
Ida fed to Mr.. Justice AMI Dean and
had Mrs Wilson taken before the honorable
police court on Charge of attempted lar
ceny. Mr.. Justice d an said: st seams
to ne that the defendant Wilson had no
rigat to detain the cnattels of the co n
piai lant Morgan. Possibly Sc Is due the
said Wilson for washing, but what proof
is there that the hereinbsfore mentioned
friend of the said Morgan did then and
there wear and tear $4 worth Of tho said
defendant Wilson's furnitures And the
courts have held (257 Barb.) that there are
other ways of collecting dues Q279 N. Y,
1868 than by the cumbrous aud larcenous
procedure of detail ling the trunk of the
debtor j49 and 81 I'd 76 of Hun: the Peo-
pie, er REL Jeynkyns, VS. Tregaskis). So
the defendant Wilson must not dis rain the
trunk of tue complainant Morgan"
This decision SHOWS conclusively that Mr..
Justice AMI Dean is a bachelor.
Ida j. Morgan sent an expressman
around and got her trunk and so moved to
another abiding place. Mrs. Wilson thinks
she is still $40 out. The World sent a re-
porter out to have consultation with Mrs.
Wilson and find how she had computed the
"a costs, which would have formed a pre-
cedent Tor all owners of courted-upon fur
niJure only for the ruthless decision Of Mr.
Justice AMI Dean. Mrs. Wilson, as has
been said, is mournful. She led the re-
uorter in o her prettily furnished parlor
