WIND-GARDENS.
Midway between earth and sky,
There the wild wind-gardens lie,
Tossing s;ardeus, secret bowers,
Full of songs and full of flowers,
Wafting down to us below
Such a fragrunce as we know
Never yet had lily or roso
That our fairest garden knows.
Oh, those gardens, dear and fair,
Where the wild wind-faries : —
Though we see not, we can barken
To thorn when the spring skies darken,
Singing clearly, singing purely
Sonys of Elf-land, surely,
And they pluck the wild-wind posies.
Lilien, violets and roses.
Each to each the sweet buds flinging,
Fostering tending them, and singing.
The sweet sceut, like angels' pity,
Finds us even in the city,
Where we, toiling, seek as treasures,
Dull earth's disenchanted pleasures.
Ob. the gales, wind-flowers huluu,
Flowers that no mortal maiden
In her breast shall ever wear!
Flowers to wreathe Titanla's hair,
And to Strew hi-r happy way with,
When :-he marries some wind fuy with:
Oh ! wind-gardens, where such songs are,
And of flowers Buch happy throngs are,
Though your paths 1 may not see,
Well i know how l'uir they be.

A QUEER STORY.
[London Truth.]
Mr. Adderley Beuyon Byug was nearly, if
not quite, the richest commoner in England.
He was about thirty-Jive years Of age, tall and
Blight, with a pale, interesting face, and a
faded, yellow mustache. His vices were
comparatively few, and of a gentlemanly
description. His near relations consisted of
ii couple of married staters. lie had no en
tanglements, and was not a gambler. Need
less to say, therefore, that he was acknow
ledged by common consent to be the most
eligible parti in London. But though by no
means Impervious to the charms of the fair
sex, Byng was terribly difficult to please.
The loveliest young debutantes and the most
astute mothers had for years angled unsuc
cessfully for the glittering prize. But each
recurring season brought with it some fresh
er beauty or some more confident mamma,
and hence the hunting of Byng went mer
rily Oil.
lie liked to talk to women about pictures,
about poetry, love, trancen dental philosophy,
and matters generally mystical and ethereal.
He found thorn so much more tolerant than
men, and bo much less apt to detect his
utter and most ghastly ignorance of nearly
every subject upon which he conversed.
Men, in fact, consider* Byng an affected
nincompoop, an 1 only endured him for the
Bake of his wealth.
'•Why, the deuce don't you marry. Adder
ley remarked Captain Tom Carbury, one
day.
Tom Carbury was Byrne's man-of-all-work
and devoted adherent. He hud lived upon
him for some years, and i! was only when
his eccentricity and vanity became utterly
wearisome to the practical henchman that he
hinted at matrimony. Carbury, moreover,
did ii (it see why he should not make a pretty
good thing out of his patron's marriage by a
judicious arrangement with the bride's
family.
"Mv dear Tom," answered the trancen
dentalist, "where am 1 to find a woman with
a kindred spirit; with a soul above the com
mon things of earth; one who can really
sympathise with my own idiosyncrasy? 1 '
"Blessed it I know," answered the Cap
tain, terribly puzzled by his patron's words;
"but if I were in your shoes I should get
rather sick of being hunted about by all the
old dowagers In London, and ogled by every
inrl who comes out. I should marry one of
them just to spite the rest."
"1 certainly cannot marry them all,"
mused Bylug, languidly. "Well, Carbury,
JMI think about it,
The captain also determined to think it
over, for as stated, be was getting a little
tired of his position, He was a thick-set,
bull-necked man of two or three and forty,
vi iv fond of good living, and devoted to
London and Paris. Isj ings, on the other
Laud, pro)'. — d to despite frivolous amuse
ments lived like an anchorite for mouths to
gether, end was in the habit of occasionally
running oil' to wild and uncivilized
pints of the globe, when' the unfortunate
captain was forced to submit to very unwel
come privations^ A journey through Tarta
ry hail brought the captain to the verge of
rebellion, ami though he did not like the
idea of quarreling with his bread ami butter,
hi; felt that lie could not endure many more
Mich terrible experiences, so he began to
look about him for a helpmate suitable to
the errant philosopher. His difficulty nat
urully lay in tin) abundance of material
from which he had to make his selection
After mature consideration, however, he de
cided in favor of a certain Miss Constance
Laxington. She was exceedingly pretty, it
whs her first season, and her only near rela
tive was her father, a gentleman whose ped
igree wan much longer than his rent-roll.
Besides Mr- Luxinirton, as the captain knew,
was by no means overburdened with cash,
and was not likely to have any hesitation in
arranging some little scheme by which Cur
bury might share in the advantages Laxing
ton would derive from a brilliant marriage.
"What a deuced pretty girl your daughter
Is!" said the captain one evening to that
young lady's father, as they sat in the
Btnoking-rodln of the Lawn club.
"Think so?" inquired the other, who
knew that Carbury was not likely to make
mrli a remark out of pure good nature.
"Might marry any one," continued the
captain thoughtfully,
Laxington began to prick up his ears, nud
said, "Yes, I think she ought to do well."
After a little more preliminary fencing,
Carbury began to approach the point, "Shu
doesn't know in:, does she I"
"No, ami I shouldn't think it much use
if she did. He's list a marrying man, Is
be*"
"Well, I don't quite understand what
constitutes a marrying man," rejoined the
cautious captain; "but these things do hap
pen all tin- same. 1 should bo very glad my
self to see Byng married to a nice girl," he
added significantly; "it would do him a lot
of good."
Lnxlngton drew his chair closer to Car
bury, and the two became engaged in a con
versation apparently of the most absorbing
nature. After half an hour or so, Carbury
arose to go.
"1 suppose I must agree, I ,' remarked Lax-
Ington; "but you area terrible fellow to
d.-.i! with."
••Ail right," answered the other; "half
when she's engaged, and the other half on
the weddiug-day. Man alive it will bo the
making of yon !"
A couple of days later Captain Carbury
contrived that Mis? Laxington, chaperoned
by her aunt. Lad) Carraway, should be in
troduced to the philosophical Byng at a house
In Grosvenor square.
"You might do worse than marry that Lax
ingfun girl," remarked the captain to his
patron the next morning; "young and love
ly and all that; cot no inconvenient brothers;
and you would not be plagued with a mother
in-law. Not much money, but that doesn't
matter to you."
••She seems a nice girl,'* said Byng, in his
usual languid manner; "but how about the
father!'! ".• .'
"Oh, I axington's all right; gambles and
lares a bit, but be always settles tod lias
never been caught cheating. What more
can you expect now-a-daysf"
Byng was obviously impressed by the pro
bity of his father-in-law in posst.
••I'll call on Lady Carraway," he an-
Mvered; and the subject dropped.
Byng duly visited her ladyship, who was
naturally delighted to see him, and be made
himself* exceedingly agreeable to the fair
Constauce. That young lady heightened the
favorable impression she had already made
Uj>"n him. for although ims ;-ericnced slio
was a clever girl, and very soon discovered
the pet weaknesses of her admirer. Iv fact,
by the time he left the house he began to
tiiink that Carbury was a man of unusual dis
crimination, and that he might really take
into consideration the prospect of following
bis matrimonial advice. Miss Laxingtou
was charmingly unsoph'sticated, and at the
same time he" thought he could discover in
her inJieaUoub of tin possession of a soul
that 18 to say, of a \ disposition to appreciate
bis genius, and to share his philosophical
yearnings without any symptoms of bore
dom. So for a few weeks everything went
well. Byng was obviously fascinated, and
without being too. conspicuous in his atten
tions, he followed Miss Laxington's move
ments with considerable persistence, and
monopolized her society whenever they met.
Suitors of the detrimented type accordingly
dropped off in despair, and the engagement
was looked upon by the quidnuncs of society
as a practically accomplished fact.
Ascot drew near, and Bying invited Lady
Carraway and Ler fair charge to share his
box and drag for the meeting. This was for
him an unsual step, for he generally left the
selection and the entertainment of his guests
to the indefatigable -of-all-work.
Carbury therefore saw that matters were
reaching a critical juncture. so he thought it
advisable to make a few inquiries about the
pecuniary position of Mr. Laxington. He
did not succeed in hearing much. Laxlng
■ ton had been losing someweat heavily on the
turf, but he had paid up; and in the matter
of cards he did not seem to have been do
ing any good or harm. So Carbury felt for
the present no particular anxiety about this
little commission, and was satisfied to let the
course of his patron's love affair run as
smooth as might be.
Ascot came and went; Bying was languid
ly assiduous in his devotion to Miss Laxing
ton, while the young lady, perfectly dressed,
conscious of looking lovely, and fully aware
of the envy, hatred and malice which her
good fortune stirred up in the bosom of her
fair rivals, rfever enjoyed herself more thor
oughly or excited more admiration . With
the captain, things went somewhat badly.
He betted rather more heavily than usual,
and lost his money and his temper. Bying
bored him terribly, and he grew irritated by
Miss Laxington's sweetness. He sought
consolation in creature comforts and ate and
drank to an extent which would infallibly
have aroused his patron's disgust-, if that
gentleman had not been too much occupied
to notice him.
Monday night found Captain Carbury at
the Lawn Club. Fie had paid up his losses
with some difficulty, and felt irritable and
dyspeptic. He saw Laxington there and it
occurred to him that he might as well rind
out if that gentleman's luck had been any
better than his own.
Laxington teemed anything but pleased to
meet him, and responded to his friendly
greeting with the curtests of nod.
"By the way, old man," began Carbury,as
a plan of action occurred to him, "I want to
ask you a favor."
Laxiugton was evidently in a vile temper.
"You've come to the wrong shop for that,
my boy," hesneeered. •
''Had a bad week, I suppose," said the
captain, quite unmoved. "Well, I was go
ing to ask you to lend me £500, only for a
a week; fact is, I've been rather hard bit
Besides, you'll owe me more than that in a,
fortnight, I fancy. That little affair of ours
may be settled any da}'."
"I can't lend you .£500," growled Laxing
ton, "or 500 pence either; and as to what
you call our little affair, * have no idea what
you arc driving at."
'•What the deuce do you mean? Didn,t
you promise me a. thousand on the day your
daughter got engaged to Bying? , .
"No, answered Laxingtou. I never did
anything of the sort."
"Why. I've got your I. O. U."
"Very likely; there are a good many of'
them flying about. Wish you may get your
money!"
Carbury stared at his friend in disgust and
amazement. He could not, however, . ex
press his opinion of him in the sacred pre
cincts of a club, so he merely got up with a
curt "good-night," and left the room.
"That's your game, is it'" he muttered to
himself. "I'll be even with you yet. It's
not quite such a certainty as you think."
The next morning Laxiugtoo 'evidently
came to the conclusion that he had made a
fool of himself over night, for he called on
the captain and explained to him that he did
not mean what lie said. He had a devil of a
temper, he added, and things had been an
noying him. Of course it was all right about
the I. O. V. The astute captain accepted
the apology, but he nevertheless made cer
tain inquiries, which resulted in the unpleas
ant discovery that Lexington had lost over
£5,000 over the Ascot week, and had been
entirely unable to settle.
"A nice prospect for my £1,000!" mused
the captain, "but what a fool he was to show
bis hand."
That day Mr. Byng and his factotum
lunched together, alone, and the latterturned
the conversation upon Miss Constance.
"Have you settled matters in that quarter
yet?" he inquired.
"Not yet," said his patron, dreamily;
"but I am thinking of taking the plunge."
"What are you waiting for? Charming
girl — do nonsense about her; likes a good
feed, too saw her eat three plateful* of
lobster salad on the Cup day."
"Three platefuls of lobster salad?" cried
Byng. '
"Certainly," said the captain, eyeing his
friend maliciously. "Why shouldn't she?
Must have a wonderful digestiou. I couldn't
doit myself." V.:
•'How horribly material!" groaned Byng.
'■oh, nonsense! You don't expect a
well-grown young woman of five feet seven
Inches to live upon air. do you?"
"This Is not a subject for joking," said
Byng, severely, and the captain ventured no
further. But the philosopher was obviously
ill at case; he played with his lunch and
maintained a gloomy silence.
The season wore on, but Miss Laxington 's
engagement was not announced. People
began to think that it would not come ofl
after all. Lady Carraway grew anxious and
other fond matrons took heart once, again,
and cherished fond hopes that the prize of
the matrimonial market might yet fall to an
outsider. Miss Laxington herself, however,
was in no way disquieted. Her admirer was
perhaps less attentive, but his was not a na
ture capable of enthusiastic devotion. She
met him constantly, and could not fairly ac
cuse him of any definite neglect; she and
Lady Carraway, were often seen upou his
drag, and Byng invited them both to accom
pany him to the Eton and Harrow match.
This special mark of favor did much to reas
sure her ladyship, for P.yug had often told
her that though he wat particularly fond of
cricket he had never taken a drug to Lord's
not caring to add to the number of people
who looked upon the match as an occasion
for gormandiziug, flirtation, aud the display
of elaborate costumes.
The day came, Lady Carraway and her
Charge had been instructed to be on the
ground In good time for lunch, so they made
their appearance shortly after one o'clock.
The drag was tenanted only by Carbury and
a few male friends. Byng, as the captain ex
plained, was watching the game from the
root of the pavilion, and had left 'word that
lie was to be sent for as soon as his fair
friends had arrived.
A footman was accordingly despatched
for him, and in a few minutes he clambered
up to a scat next to Miss Constance. He
was somewhat preoccupied and silent, but
this was easily accounted for by the absorb
ing interest which he evinced in the fortunes
of the game. Carbury watched him with
some anxiety. Since their conversation on
the lobster-salad question the lady's name
had been seldom mentioned between them,
and he bedan to fear that Byng's marriage
would really take place without any pecuni
ary advantage to himself. Presently as the
bell rang for the luncheon interval, Byng
left the drag and talked for a minute or two
with his butltr, Mr. Corker. This'circum
stance somewhat aroused Curbury's wonder;
he could not Imagine what Bynsr could have
to say to his retainer, for all arrangement*
of the household were left in the captain's
own hands. He failed however, to gather
any information from the butler's stolid vis
age. Byng always did things well, and in a
very short time a table was spread on which
was displayed every luxury whice money
could buy or the mind of man conceive.
"Please forgive me if I leave you." said
her host to Miss Laxington; "I shall be
back after the interval, and, in the mean
time, Captain Carbury will, I am sure, look
after your wants."'
Mis Laxington graciously assented, and
the air was soon filled with the clatter of
plates and the popping of champaign corks.
Throughout the progress of the orgie Car
bury kept his eye on the proceedings of the
butler. He was anxious to find out the
meaning of the mysterious communication
made by that worthy Byng. Moreover Cork
! er's movements were decidedly singular.
He seemed perpetually at Miss Islington's
elbow; now pressing on her attention some
triumph of Bynjr's chef, now filling her glass
with champaign c. or piling up her plate with
strawberries. " Alter tue.se little attentions

he would retire behind the j drag and write
; something down on a piece of paper. ,
, ■ The Captain's curiosity at length exhaust- ;
ed his patience. He watched his opportuni
ty, therefore,' and , came upon ' Corker ' sud
denly just as that individual made an entry
on the mysterious sheet. •
"What are you up to?" he asked. Corker
was momentarily confused, but he answered
with dignity: y . ." v ■ " ;.<
"I'm making a hinwentory, sir."
"What thßy deuce do you. mean?"
"A hinwentory, sir, by Mr. Byng's or
ders," , responded the butler, somewhat
ruffled. ' ;
The captain paused a moment in thought.
It might be important, this piece of paper.
"Come, Corker," he said, "let me see that
paper and I'll give you a sovereign !"
■ "Couldn't do it, sir," answered the incor
ruptible Corker. -
"Oh, well, hang it, I'll make it a fiver!".
Mr. Corker was not proof against the. extra
inducement, and so he handed over the
mysterious slip. . . '• .
; "What on carth — Do you mean to say your
master told you to make" this list?" , .
The butler nodded. ";?./• . .'
"Well, I'm blessed ! Oh, this is altogether
too lovely I Here, I'll keep it for a bit!
Won't he open his eyes when he sees it!" •
Byng did-not reappear until shortly before
stumps were drawn for the day,and he made
a lame excuse for his long absence. Car
bury, as It happened, did not see him again
till late in the evening, when he found him
in a state of great mental perturbation, pour
ing over a small sheet of paper, on which
certain hieroglyphics were scrawled in pencil.
"What's the matter?" cried the captain,
"you look awfully bad."
"My hopes are shattered," said Byng, in a
dismal voice; "my fondest illusions have
been rudely dissipated; the dream is over."
"What are you talking about?"
"Look at this," answered the philosopher,
in his most tragic tones. Carbury took the
aperand read:
"Two platefuls mayonnaise, 2 ditto Per
igord pie, 1 ditto lobster salad, 2 quails in
aspic, 3 meringues glaces, 6 glasses cham
pagne, 3 helpings strawberries and cream,
2 ices, 1 glass of liquer braudv."
"Well, what is it? It reads' like a menu."
"It is the disgusting record of the guzzling
propensities of Miss Laxington. I ordered
Corker to keep count, for after what you saw
at Ascot I suspected her of materialism —
even of sensuality — my worst fears are
confirmed!"
"And you mean to say you won't marry
her because she likes a good lunch?"
"Never would I link my fate to one so
wedded to the grossest pleasures . I shall
start for Palestine tomorrow morning. You
must come, so get ready. Good night!"
THE 1838 NEW ORLEANS CHOLERA.
The Filth fiend Largely Xf.sponslble—

|Xew Orleans Picayune.]
The population was then 55,084, and the
cemeteries swallowed up 8.099 of these in
the twelve months, a death rate of 1J7.10
per 1,000. But these figures do not convey
the whole truth. Yellow fever was prevail
ing, and when the cholera appeared in Octo
ber having been brought by the steamboat
Constitution from St. Louis, fully 20,000 of
the inhabitants had fled. Of the remaining
35.000, no less than 6,000 were swept off by
the cholera in the space of about twenty
days. One sixth of the population perished.
As Dr. Jones, recent President of the board
of health, says in speaking of it: "The air
was polluted by the un buried and putrifying
corpses which accumulated in piles in the
cemeteries across the streets. Trenches
could not be dug with sufficient rapidity to
cover the putrifying and moulding corpses,
and frequently buried corpses were exposed
in digging »he graves. The stagnant water
became contaminated and the ditches and
gutters were reeking with the foul putrid
drainage from the graveyard." Of the cause
of this unexampled affliction Dr. Jones also
says: "With the accustomed ignorance,
indifference and incompetency of the civil
authorities of New Orleans, the cholera found
this city in a filthy condition ; gutters reek
ing in filth, the streets qaugmircs of mud
and filth, the houses built upon low, Hi
drained sites, the privies overflowing with
urine and excrement; the drainage canals
choked; the cemetery located in' the heart
of the city, badly constructed, badly drained
and crowded with corpses."
The people in their ignorance resorted to
the craziest expedients. Cannon were fired,
tar was burned in the streets, and burning
tar-barrels covered the cemeteries, affording
a brilliant illumination for the carnival of
death. The disease appeared on the 24th of
October, and its duration was brief. Had
the ravages extended from early : spring
through the sweltering summer, more than
half the population must have been swept
away. It reappeared the following year and
claimed 1,000 more victim eg out of the small
population which remained to risk the ter
rors. •
In IS4S, the latter part of November, it
came again, and the records show that 1,
--640 died from it before the close of Decem
ber. Continuing through January, Febru
ary, March, April and May, 1840. it in
creased in violence and claimed 3,176 vic
tims. By that time the population had in
creased to 122,000, so that the epidemic was
nothing like so malignant us it had been
sixteen years before.
Wont of a Minister.
I Burlington Ha'wkeye.J
A minister in Cleveland rode to church
last Sabbath on a bicycle. As he swept up
to the sacred edifice a large Newfoundland
dog, belonging to the senior deacon, came
lumbering out to greet the pastor. The bi
cycle struck the canine head on, under a
full head of steam, and run him down with
a shock that could be plainly felt with the
naked eye. The reverend took a header,
and jammed his high silk hat down over his
ears so tight that he had to crawl clear
through it to get out of it. The scattered
leaves of a seven head sermon flew around
the avenue like a theological snowstorm.
The dog made Rome howl with its wails, and
attracted a crowd of 300 people. The par
son's coat was split down the back, and his
trowsers ripped across the knees. He pinned
up the ■ knees, and he had to wear a pepper
and salt sack coat the sexton loaned him.

HOW SHE WAS WON.
Eliße Danforth was a plain young girl, but
very sweet withal, for perfect health had giv
en her fine teeth, a clear complexion, and a
rosy tint in her cheeks that a queen might
have envied, ■
Lawrence Coinly was rery fond of Eli9C
He had a handsome house aud a snug little
fortune to live on, and Elise, in his opinion,
was exactly the little woman he wanted to
preside over his establishment.
Elise went to Mrs. Campbell's ball. The
amusements of the evening had opened with
a waltz, and as Elise cast her eyes over the
dancers in search of her lover, who should
she encounter but Lawrence among the
WRltzers with Helen Williams, the very
handsomest girl in the rooms, encircled by
his arm, her face upturned to his. Elise
even thought she could detect love glances
passing between them.
As soon as the waltz was over Lawrence
was by Elise's side. "You were so long
coming," he said, "I was so impatient that
I engaged in a waltz to pass the time away.
But, now that the fair recluse is really here,"
Lawrence continued, in a tone that Elise
thought bordered on a sneer, "will she favor
me with her hand for the lancersi"
At the close of the dance they walked
through the looms, and found themselves at
la6t sitting in an oriel window iv the library-
Elise insisted that he should leave her and
seek another partner. In vain he told her
that it was his greatest happiness to be in her
'•ornpany, that no other girl had any charm
for him ; for jealousy had so clouded her
judgment that she was sure he was impatient
for some one to come and take her away
that he might be free.
"What ails my little girl to-night?" he
said, attempting to take her hand. "How
have I displeased you, dear Elise*"
"Displeased me?" she answered. "How
could you do that? No; I want you to leave
me and find a handsomer partner."
At this moment James Fitzhugh, a man
Elise despised for his unrefined manners,
npproached them, and on pretense of having
something to say to him, she took hii arm
und left Lawrence alone.
Half an hour had elapsed, and again Elise
went to the library. Lawrence was still sit
ting there, looking out through the half open
window into the darkness, with deep gloom
upon his brow. The girl would gladly have
knelt by his side and asked him for a kiss of
forgiveness. Then Judge Blackwell addressed
her, and while he waa talking to her of inter
esting lawsuits she was looking at Lawrence,
who had at last left the wiudow and waa
again dancing with Miss Williams.
The judge left her at an early hour to go
home. Elise encountered Mortimer Wilmot,
an old friend of her father, 45, rich and line
looking. At one time he had been supposed
to have a partiality for her. That evening he
bpoke of the weariness of the life he was lead
ing, and Elise answered mechauical
ly. Neither Lawrence nor bis partner
partner had reappeared and the ball-room
w:is too oppressive. There, in the same cor
n"r were Lawrence and Miss Williams. Elise
saw the former draw near the curtain to hide
them as she passed. It was like a quick aud
sharp knife thrust through her heart.
Mr. Wilmot drow Elise away to a sofa in a
deserted part of the room, aud, after a mo
ment's silence, said: "This is, perhaps, the
neither the time nor the place, Miss Elise, to
tell you that I love you, and have long waited
to make you my wife. Do you think you
could love me well enough to marry me!"
Without an iustant's hesitation Elise an
swered: "Yes."
"My dear," said Mr. Wilmot. "I am not
young, aud have very little romance in my
character. I cannot take your answer so
quickly given. Ido not wish you to hazard
your happiness without ample consideration ;
take a month to think of my proposal, aud
then give me a reply."
Elise looked quickly up: it was the first
time she "realized what he had been saying,
and now he had left her. Was she then en
gaged to tills man ?
Elise when sitting alone, utterly con
founded, when she was astonished by seeing
Miss Williams approach her, saying: ''Elise,
dear, I have something to tell you. I have a
message from a beloved friend. Will you
come with me and receive iU"
"Yes," answered Eiise, calmly.
Once again Elise was conducted to the
oriel window*. The curtaiu was drawn.
Helen parted it a little away, and moved as
If to enter. As Elise followed, she stepped
aside, closed the curtain, and withdrew. A
pair of manly arms received Elise iv warm
embrace. "Dear love." said Lawrenoe. "by
thinking me guilty of preferring another you
have made us both miserable. Believe me,
no one ever held a place iv my heart but you !
You have already told me lam dear to you.
Let us have no more misunderstanding.
Make me the happiest man on earth by mar
rying me."
Elise uttered not a word, but her manner
told Lawrence plainly enough that he was
accepted. The next day in the midst of her
happiness E!i«e suddenly remembered the
reply she made to Mr. Wilrtot's proposal.
She was wringing her hands and crying out
hat a miserable being she was when a note
wns handrd her, which n-ad as follows:
"Mr. Wilmot presents his complimeiit* to
Miss Elise Danforth Having unavoidably
hoard a pan of a certain conversation in the
oriel window at Mrs. Campbell's, he bega to
withdraw the inquiry made last night. He
hopes to be allowed to tender his best wishes
for Miss Elise's happiness."
