A VERY PRETTY LETTER.
The Story Of Byron's Proposal to Miss
MiIbanke.

The Story Of Byron's Proposal to Miss
MiIbanke.
Byron's proposal to his wife, Miss
Milbanke, was made after sordid dis
cussion and study and lacked all inn
pulse. Lady Melbourne, who stood in
his; confidence, observing how cherries
and unsettled his mind and prospects
were. strenuously advised him to mar
ry. She suggested a certain lady. but
Lord Byron fancied the" idea of marry
ing Miss Milbanke.
mo" said Lady Melbourne; miss
Milbanke will not suit you. In the first
place, she has no fortune now, and you
want money Immediately. In the next
place. you want a person who will
have great admiration for your genius;
she has too great an admiration for
herself"
"Wefl," said Byron, ''as you please"
And. sitting down. he wrote a letter
to the lady recommended by Lady Mel
bourne. He received a refusal.
"Now, you see," said he. Miss Mil
hanke is to be the person, after all. I
will write to her"
AS soon as he had finished his friend.
still demonstrating, read the note and
observed:
"Well, really. this is a; very pretty
letter. It is a pity it should not CO."
s1Then 1t shall 60" exclaimed Byron.
And. so saying. he sealed and sent the
fiat Of his unhappy fate.

It. used to be said that no first class
European power could afford to 60 h,
war without receiving the sanction. Of
the Rothschilds. Today, according to
a writer in the New York Journal Of
Commerce, It can be- said that two
groups Of New York hnanciers virtu-
any dominate the larger financial af-
fairs Of this country, and woe betide
those who seek to try conclusions with
them. J. P. Morgan & Co. and the
Standard Oil interests, including e
81. Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
today occupy the same place in the
United States that the Rpthschilds
held and to a considerable. extent still
hold in Europe. The Goulds have
made a stubborn fight to preserve their
independence. but with disastrous con-
sequences, and as every fresh victory
adds to the power Of, the dominating
combination the chances Of successful
opposition diminish. ~'Tfs true tits
pity; pity tits tits true.* There Is not
an important railroad in the United
States that does not come under the
influence of these fnancfers, and the
evidences are that the scope Of this
community Of interest is steadily Wild
ening.

.You Of the younger generation"

ciate the Importance Of the conquest
of toothache that dentistry has made.
sToothache Is the worst torture that
yer afflicted mankind. Its pains
lancinating' they are technically called
are worse than the pains Of cancer.
Worse than cancer; that is the truth.
I have heard It from physicians; I
have heard it from three old people
whom cancer finally killed. They all
said that the pain of cancer at It's
worst was mild beside the pain Of the
worst stoothache.
.Toothache drove De Quincy to
opium eating. De Quincy, too, says Y

nave the passage by heart:
".No stronger expression OF tooth
aches intensity and scorching fierce
ness can be imagined than this fact,
that within my private knowledge two
persons who had suffered alike under
toothache and cancer have pronounce
ed the former to be on: the scale of tor
ture by many degrees; the worse. In
both there are at times l%ancinating
