THE VEP.3 “TO LOVE.” rurougii Jest to Matrimony-How Soma Wives Were Won. From tin; Yew York .Yen's. Marriages are often the result of acei aeiit. It seems strange, but the most pru a. nt persons will sometimes conceive an ir resistible attachment at the suggestion of a ' Vi \ or a look. When once under the spell ,■ tIK . verb “To love,” they go through all the forms and finish the declension of the verb before the altar. The few may give the subject the consideration it deserves, hut the many, there is reason to fear, are ridded by impulse. h -V skipper of a coasting vessel called at the village inn and asked the landlady, a vounc widow : J “Do you know where I can get a mate? I have lost my mate.” “I am sorry for you, Mr. ,” she • ( ; sm iling. “I want a mate too, and can not tret one. As we are in the same posi- Son rll tell you what I’ll do; If you’ll be mine I'll be yours.” He closed with the bargain, and the widow keeping to her word, he is now supplied with , young man at a church bazar was but ton-holed by a lady; she would not let him vo until he bought something. He looked at her stall, which contained fancy work of various kinds. “Why ” he said, “I see nothing here that would he of the least use to me, a bachelor, except yourself. The rest would be dear to ine at any price. ••I will be cheap enough,” she said, coax- “tf you could be dear enough, per ,?q coin e! you are just the person I want,” taking him by the arm. She sold him one article after another, keening up an agreeable conversation the while and before all was done he had pur chased everything on the stall. Then, at settling up, there was something said about discount. „ , ~ “1 cannot return any money,” she said, blushing, “but if you think me dear enough there’s mamma; she may give you my hand.” , The bargain was accordingly concluded. An eminent doctor, who had saved the life of a lady, a personal friend, was asked his charge, fie said he generally allowed his patient friends to remunerate him as thev thought befitting. “Dut don’t you often get disappointed on these terms?” she inquired. “I may say, uever.” “As you are so easily pleased, here,” and zhe playfully gave him her empty hand, while in the other was concealed a check for a handsome sum. “How easily I could have taken you in!” she added, producing the ! Ch ‘q!ut you have only succeeded in drawing I me out,” he said, declining to relinquish her hand. “Don’t insult me with a check; lam most generously rewarded.” Perhaps she understood the doctor’s diffi culty and wished to help him out of it; at any rate the giving of her hand led him to offer his heart. This was how a gentleman got a wife when, in a tobacconist shop, he asked a girl behind the counter, who happened to have red hair, if she would oblige him with a match. “With pleasure, if you wall have a red headed one, ” she promptly replied, with Such a suggestive, demure smile that event ually the red-headed match was handed liver. A lady with a fine figure having taken a fanev to a valuable ring which she saw ticketed in a shop window went inside to examine it. “It is exceedingly lovely; I wish it were mine,” she said, on satisfying herself. “ What smaller figure could tempt you?” “No other figure than the figure before me,” lie said, giving her an admiring look at the same time. “It is exceedingly lovely. I wish—l could tempt you with the ring." “I think I’ll take it,” she said, laying down the money amidst blushes. Of course he accepted the money; but, getting her address, ne made such good use of the hint that the next ring which she got was given by him in church. A lady in a railway train kept looking out of the window, with her head forward, un til she remembered that the gentleman op posite might possibly object. “Do I cut off the view?” she asked.- “Merely of all Ido not wish to see!” he replied, gallantly. The ice having been thus broken, they entered into conversation, found they were to get out at the same station, and knew each other’s friends. The rest was plain sailing into what somebody calls “the matrimonial haven.” “Are you married yet, Kitty?” said a sailor oh meeting an old acquaintance after returning from a long voyage. “No, that somebody has never come.” v "Ah, then, I have brought him after a deal of bother,” he said, throwing his arms around her; and the matter was there and then settled. This was ingenious enough, like the case of the theatrical manager who was brought to the point when he called to inform his Seat ling actress that he had secured a play at test which was sure to have a long run. “What part have you reserved for me?” she asked. "You are to be a charming sweetheart, as you are.” “Is there a wife in the piece?” “There is.” “Then I have done charming sweethearts till lam tired. I must be a wife in the long run,” And sho was. HIS DREAM DISPELLED. An American Consul’s Experience in ***• South Sea Islands. From the San Fmncinco Chronicle. A consulship sounds very big till you get th ere. There are innumerable islands in the South Pacific, and tribes who declare w r, fight, publish proclamations of defi ance. and seem altogether extraordinarily heroic. The United States sent a consul to one group lately wherein the ideal was grand, immense. Kneeling subjects in the shuiio of American citizens, suppliant chiefs and trembling kings, with all the attendant gorgeousness and dignity, tilled his mind’s eye. He “busted” himself on an outfit, laid in an elegant dress suit, a pair of patent leather shoes, white ties, wnite gloves and an enormous diamond pin for his shirt front. Thus equipped he sailed away with all the conscious pride of a representative of a grand republic. From the port lie landed at ho was conveyed in u small sailing vessel to the point, of As the ship entered ™ offing, the flag of the United States eayly flying at the masthead, the white residents of tlie island came off in a small boat to welcome him. The new official re ceived them affably, was quito amiable, and aid not put on too many airs. f ‘Come on shore with us and we’ll present the King,” said the welcomers. The King! I can’t go up to the palace in t his dress. My trunks are in the hold. I can t present myself to the Hing like this.” % “Oh, come with us; that’s all right. You tan put on all your finery and call on him s waiting for you.” , ” siting for me?” it a ,!,s: Wl ‘ bolil him the Consul was coming.” And he’s waiting forme? I don’t know what to do. I can’t keep his majesty wait i.’r ?ut 1 can hardly go up in this dress.” “Oh, that will do. He won’t mind." . Ajtai they tumbled him into the boat and took him on shore. If you’ve ever tried to fyl* out of a boat on a shelving bench you know how it is yourself. He did it. He •topped clear into the water and wont roll . In k Here was a quandary. The residents gathered the wet. consul up, took him to a •tore ami got him into a♦ 12 hand-me-down 5P lt t which didn’t fit him. It took a long tune to argue him into going then. But , ¥ would have it anil off t hey went. . “Ook hehe! I don’t feel comfortable at n “ going up to the palace to nmke my first “Ppcaranee as consul in this miserable con itr' '* tho patuce? Are we near “Quite. There it is.” He looked and saw a conical mud hut with two square holes on opposite sides, and h gentle smoke floated up through the point of the roof, which was apparently a vent bole. “What!” “That’s the palace. The King and Queen are in there waiting for you.” They entered. In the centre, in what looked like a kind of mire, sat a fat, black, dignified fellow, whose protection from the inclemency of the weather was a wisp of cotton tied around his waist. By his side sat a small, dark lady of acquiescent, con tented mien, whose toilet had all fallen around her waist, too—at least, she hadn’t any anywhere else. “Hullo'” said the newcomer in the lan guage of the country. “Hullo, old chap, now are you?” Then more politely, “This is the new Consul from America.” The new Consul, who had been practicing his bow ever since his application had been filed, made an obeisance, when a pig sud denly ran in by one entrance, skipped be tween his genuflections, landed him head flirt in the mire and skipped out by the op posite hole in the hut. All dignity was out raged, but the King didn’t mind it nor did the numerous royal family who lay around promiscuously without any toilet at all. “That’s all right, old boy,” said the resi dent to the embarrassed Consul. “We’ve got up a ball for you to-niglit and you’ll see the King and Queen in style there.” So the Consul got his trunk out, got his dress snit, his white tie, his white gloves and his patent-leathers ready and presented him self at the “hotel” where the ball was to lie. The hotel was a wooden frame with a mud roof. The King and Queen entered in grand style, with a little more toilet of a loose kind, and the new Consul came in with the King’s sister, a noble princess, and they all hal a royal night of it. Before the new Consul had gone to bed in the morning the princess royal returned from the palace, paid him a special call and solicited his washing. He does not look for any dignity in his position now. He Is looking for profit. A man ought to gain something from being a Consul. Stories of Criminals. From the International Record. We have at the New York State Reforma tory a casuistry class. One morning the teacher said: “Now, boys, I would like to get your opinion whether, from the standpoint of moral casuistry, honesty is the best policy, after all” One of those fellows answered: “I believe that honest is the best policy, though lam not an honesty man myself. I know two fellows in New' York, who used to be crooks, and were always getting into trouble, but they reformed and got in luck. They went over to Philadelphia, and went into the clothing business, first as clerks, and they kept right along for eight or nine years, and finally they got to own an estab lishment, and people had confidence in them, and they got credit to the extent of §300,000, and they got away with the whole of it.” When in the Ohio Penitentiary one day, the wife of a prisoner, an accomplished New England lady, handsome, cultivated, ir resistible —to the chaplain, anyhow—solicited my offices to go with her to the Governor to ask for his pardon. I had to say to her: “No, madam, there are a hundred men here more deserving of a pardon than vour husband. I will introduce you to the Gov ernor, but I will not intercede for the pardon of your husband.” I took the precaution to go to the Governor in advance, and explain to ini the situation. She presented a certifi cate from the prison physician. The Gov ernor read it slowly: “Charles AY , convicted, at such a time and place, of the crime of larceny of a horse and buggy, is now under conviction for his first offense, and ho is in imminent danger of—c-e-r-e-b-r-o—spinal—m-e-n- —menin — mening-i-t-i-s.” At once he exclaimed: “Good heavens! has he got all that? Let him go!” His clerk made out the necessary papers for the prisoner's release. It required four men to hold him in the prison hospital, and four men to take him from the hospital to the carriage, A half an hour later I found him lying in lied in the fourth story of a hotel, having walked up-stairs without any assistance whatever. I once had the pleasure of making a visit, with the Governor of the State of Illinois, to the penitentiary at Joliet. There was confined in it at the time a very noted burglar from the city of Chicago. The Gov ernor had promised that he would have some conversation with him in regard to an alibi which he claimed to be able to prove, and which would establish his innocence of the crime of which he had been convicted. I hail some impression of the character of this man when I saw- the warden, on sending for him, open a drawer in his desk, take out a revolver, and put it in his pocket. The prisoixfr was brought in and the Governor listened to the tale of his alibi. At its con - clusion he inquired: ‘ ‘How- many burglaries have you ever com mitted?” “I don’t know, Governor. I never kept count. I suppose about a hundred.” “You have been a very bad man.” “Who says so, Governor?” The Governor was taken somewhat aback and answered: “The newspapers.” “Why, Governor, I have seen your name in the newspapers onee or twice. If they will say such things about a man in your position, what must be expected of a man in mine?” He went on to remark that he need have no hesitation in granting him a pardon, for, though he made no professions of repent ance—it would he absurd to do that —he had come to the conclusion, while in prison, that a life of crime does not pay. He had tried it He had been all his life a burgler, he had robbed banks, he had had hundreds of thousands of dollars passthrough his bauds, and he was just as poor os when he began; and, having come to that conclusion, ho felt that the Governor might safely release him, since he fully meant to quit the business and follow some other pursuit for a living. But, in so far as burglary in itself was concerned, he wished him to understand that he regard ed it as just as legitimate a vocation in life as the practice of law—or of medicine—or the preaching of the Gospel. The Governor asked: “How do you make that out?” “Why, property has certain rights, powers, and privileges., It must have cor responding obligations, and the first duty of property is to iako care of itself. If in a country neighborhood there are three stores doing a general business, and there is not business enough to support more than two merchants’ families, what happens? Two of those merchants combine against the third, and by a judicious application of the laws of trade, they drive lum but of busi ness and divert to their own pockets the profits which he otherwise would have made. Everybody si vs that is right. Now, what difference does it make whether this is done by a judicious use of the laws of trade or by a more summary process? A\ iiy. Governor, you know very well that there are a great many men in this world who are rich who have no more right to what they have than you or I.” . , _ “Do I understand,” said the Governor, “that you confine yourself in your depreda tions to that class of people?” “Oh,” he replied, 1 aim to—l aim to. The last man I robbed was a member of Congress.” It is needless to say that the Governor did not pardon him. He served his term, has since served a term in the Eastern Peniten tiary of Pennsylvania, aud is understood now to be in the Virginia Penitentiary at Richmond. _ Advice to Mothers.
