for an airing. Passing by narrow

Justine Cardoni came to Louisville
with an Italian family as one of its
members, and was employed in sell.
ing fruit about the streets, as stated
in tho commencement OF this article.
She was extremely beautiful, but
modest and retiring in her manners
The writer has often wondered why
il was that n person like her could
confine herself to the drudgery Incl
dent TO the occupation she followed
so industriously. She was evidently
OF superior class TO all those with
who she associated and among whom
her lot was east.


a few years ago she married gen.
tleman from neighboriDg city. who
became attached TO her by meeting
her OIL the streets selling apples. He
was a lawyers ripe scholar and a
perfect gentleman. To prevent in
vidious remarks and insinuations he
removed from Louisville to the place
where he now resides with his elegant
wife and lovely children, for he is pos
sessed of a suiiiciency OF this worlds

door through long life 20 come.


About one year ago our Italian
died / won't say where, because il is
Unnecessary, and on bis death bed re-
yeaied TO the priest the state of facts
shadowcd forth in the beginning of
this article. The reverencd father,
knowing the Importance of the com
munication, and the then high social
standing of the lady and family al.
fected thereby, procured the services
of an experienced attorney; had the
statement drawn up in legal form and
properly attested. In addition TO his
statement locket was produced by
the dying man that he said was at.
tachcd 10 n small gold chain on the
girls neck when abducted by him
In this locket were the miniatures of
n gentleman and lady. said to be the
father and mother of the girl.


The revelation of the dying man
proved that the once beautiful apple
girl of Louisville was the daughter of
Madeline Josephine Giaccomo and
her husband. the poet. holar, and
scientist of Milan, aud was the right
full heir TO immense estates in that
country.


The dying man further stated that
he was paid for abducting the girl by
relatives, who, in case of failure of
heirs in that line, would inherit the
estates then in possession of Rinaldo.


The priest was the first TO break the
ws of this good fortune TO the fam
ily Of her who was thus elevated TO
aiiiucri:e and social position, and after
a short correspondence and trip TO
Italy, by The husband and wife, all
was established that the reader antici-
pated.


The wife of the lawyer, who resides
in neighboring city, is by yIrtue of
her birth countess, and possessed of
an estate of more than ten million of
francs. They have five children
three daughters and two boys. The
girls are the reproduction of the Ital-
ian mother, and the boys combine the
physical development of both parents.


When we see poor girl toiling in
menial employments TO earn living,
treat her kindly; treat her as you
would wish your child to be treated
were she stolen away from you and
became an outcast. Shield all such
from harm and pollution. for so doing
you minister to an angel perhaps
God will reward all such as shield the
poor orphan, the wanderer, or the un.
fortunate, no matter whence they
come or what their conditions in life
might have been.
