The editor of tbe Baltimore
American was receutly appealed
to by a young man of prominence
in words as follows :
I. "I am engaged to a young
lady who at one time I thought!
loved very dearly. A more ex
tended acquaintance, however,
shows me that a marriage with
her would prove uuhappy and
miserable to us both. She will
not release me, and threatens
me with a suit of "breach of
promise." Must I marry her and
make both our lives unhappy or
be mulcted in damages ? If she
will not release me. is there any
way by which I can free myself
from her ? 2. What is the stat
ute of limitations in cases of this
kind, and would leaving the State
benefit me ? If I had no proper
ty, could she imprison me, and
for how long and at whose ex
pense, the State's or her own ?"
A. H. L.
The editor made the following
philosophic response:
1. "There is little excuse for
the trouble you have occasioned,
because of your negligence and
lack of ordinary prudence, and
therefore, there can be no sym
pathy for you in your predica
ment You might do Well to
weigh all the circumstances and
ascertain whether or not you
would be unhappy with the lady
after marriage. Many persons
learn to love after entering matri
mony. Your friends can give
you some good advice on this,
especially your parents or
spiritual advisor. But should it
appear that your marriage must
prove inevitably unhappy, you
had better make other arrange
ments, and certainly the friends
of the young lady would urge the
breaking of the engagement.
But even then you have commit
ted an almost irreparable injury
to the young lady, one hardly to
be compensated in money. Let
there be a confab in this event
between your lawyers and her
family counsel, and rest content
to pay a very large sum, accord
ing to your means, to right the
wrong. 2. The statute of limi
tations run three years, and you
may be sued in another State, as
well as this, and limitations only
will run. in case you have but
yourself out of the reach, from
the time you are discoye red. She
