A Brick Wagon Romance.

Inhere was a soiVsation 1u it ihonso-

cided to build sevoral new houses on
lots of adjacent to the one occupied
by his own residbiice, and they are
bow nearly completed. |
Among the drivers who dellivored
.brick for the new btiililnigs was a
tall awkward, iiaudy comploxionod
and mustached young man, who hud
hot uppurehtlybtho faintest concep
tion of romance. But ho wus fair
in, tlie eye.4 of the daughter, of the
contruotor, and she frequently car
ried a liberal lunch oiit to him at the
hour of the noonday meal. Nothing
was thought amiss by hui* motive
merely to kindness of heart,' little
dreaming of the relations that exist
ed-between tho pair. Several days
after (ho meal incident, the young
luly romuinod absent from hor homo
one night and did not return till
late the following afternoon. When
questipned as: to her wfioreabouts the
night befprjs, she replied. that she
had remained uthei motiier-in-law’s.
Even then tho family entertained no
siispipiqns, but thought it was a joke
on hor part, and the subject was not
referred, to, again.A repetition of
the young lady’s absence was not
treated so lightly, however, and, to

in Iowa, 1
f,i Under*the, Jaw* of Iowa a
couplo was diyqrqcdjthree Years ago
on complaint of the wife,,who alleged
“supl; injiumqn f .tr,eatmeut us endan
gered her- life;” Before a year had
elapsed the* two were again mated,
and in a little Whilo the divoroo mill
was again resorted to, this timo by
the husband. Ho alleged that wifo
applied toJiim'“epithets not to be
commended;” that “she refused to
kneel when lie was enguged in pray
er, aud on one occasion when he was
so engaged in his boa-room she came
UniieceBsurily into the room and in
terrupted Imn,” and finally, .that she
threatened him with personal vio
lence. The specification under the
lust allegation was that at one time
when they-“wasseated at the sunpor
table,” he laid before her e “bill for
a cheup dress,” whereupon she struck
it from the tuble and nnuHy threw it
at him, and thut cither the paper or
her hand struck him in the eye.”
A second di voi ce was. gran led by the
lower court, but an appeal was taken
to tho Supreme Uoiirt, which decided
in favor of tho wifo. “Wo reach
tho conclusion the more reudily,”
tho court added, “ns tho plaintiff
testifies he lores his wifo and would
gladly welcome her back to his honiu
if she will do bettor; while the de
fendant testifies that she loves hor
husband and would willingly live
with him if lie would reform.
