A Male! Love Letter.
Mvnns vs. Humm— This was one of
those rare and peculiar cases—breach of
promise marriage—and occupied the great-
er part. of the forenoon. From the evi-
dence it appem that the parties both live
in or near Onondngo ; that Harris has been
a. frequent visitor for about two years and a
half at. the house of the plaintifl—a widow
woman nearly thirty years of age. with three
children. It seems to have been the opinion
of the friends of the plaintiff (and no doubt.
she thought. so herself), that. Harris would
marry her; but. he (Harris) from some un-
accountable cause, a few months ago, and-
denly discovered that he loved another
young lady better, and verified this belief a
short time since by marrying that other
lady. Hence this action was brought by
the plaintéfi‘ to recover damages, to apply as
a salve logic: wounded affections. The fol-
lowing tutder epistle, sent by the loving
swain, will interest our readers, and we rec-
ommend it as a model love letter:
MY DEAR Mas. M.— Every time I think
of you my heart flops up and down like a
churn dasher. Sensations of unutteruble
joy caper over it like young goats on Astable
roof, and thrill through it like Spanish noe-
dles through a pair of tow linen trowacrs,
As a goofing swimmetb with delight in a
mud-puddle, so swim I in a sea of glory.
Visions of ecstaticrapture thicker than the
hum of a humming-bird‘s pinions, visit me
in my slumbcra; and, borne on their invisi-
ble wings, your image stands before me,
and I reach out to grasp it, like a pointer
snapping at a blue bottle fly. “men I first.
behold your angelic perfection: l was bewil-

SOUTH NORWALK, CON N., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 187' 1.
A Stirring Obltlury.
As good a newspaper story as has lately
been told is one regarding the Colorado
Herald, The editor of the Herald had 0000-
sion to leave town for a few days, and in-
trusted his valuable organ to the care of an
ambitious youth who was a novice in jour-
nalism. His instructions on leaving were
modeled after those of the elder Bennett in
similar emergencies. “ Always keep be-
fore yam" mind the fact that the object of
this paper is to' extend its circulalion," he
said: “ and whenever you see a. chance to
insert. a puff of the Herald in any notice you
make, pile it on as thick as you can. Keep
the people stirred up all the time, you un-
derstand, no that they will believe the Her-
ald is the greatest sheeLin the United States".
He then went. away, audthe following night
his wife died very suddenly. This is how
the assistant editor mentioned the circum-
stance:
“00x15 BUT NOT Fallow-PEN.”
“’e are compelled this morning to per-

W0 A Row“. GAME—Al
the beginning of the century, the Prince
regent was the guest of the great Duke of
Bedford at Newmarket. One night, in com-
pany with many gay and dissolute comrades,
the prince repaired after dinner to the pub-

seat, with A flushed check and an ungry

prince had on this particular night been so
nnmerclfully “ plucked," that some suspicion
of foul play flashed norms his clouded And

he had been playing, and turning to the pro-
prietor, the royal gambler said ; “ You shall
have a check tomorrow morning for what
I lost if on examination I find um you have
won it fairly." Deep wls thcdismny with

with quick-witted readiness he noticed that.
a poor kinsman of the Duke of Redford, a

the prince, still lingered in the gambling
room. Calling this “ gentleman” aside. the
gambling-house keeper oflbrcd to give him a
large sum if he would enter the prince’s

dice for the “ loaded" or “ cogged" cubes of

bribe was accepted; and, cattle royal rouse

msrAerO ms MAX—The secretary of
the interior, a very solemn sort of man who
was never known to laugh, was sitting at
his office table when last at Washington-
we have quite forgotten the date, it was no
long ago-when a stout individual in linen
walked into the room. We do not believe
this stout individual ever washed his dirty
linen in public. At least 112 had not done
so lately, for it was quite dirty. Save from
the accumulation of soil there was not
enough to make much time in the washing.
It consisted of pantaloons considerable sub-

He strutted up to the table with In old straw

“ I say, and I say it pretty plain And loud

musing attitude, as if he were turning that
rather awkward error in his intellect. And
so we left him.
