She is still here, but tho young man is disconsolate, as sbo is not pleased I with his appearance, and refuses to per- I form her part of the contract. Ho ia at i a loss to account for his inability tn please the feminine eve. IIo lias irood 1 habits and is steadily employed. It seems that this is only the last of several ventures of tho would-be groom toward connubial happiness. In one of his former trials he forwarded $30 to his fair correspondent, who returned him $20 and a letter containing a great deal of good advice, for which she kept as a foe the remaining $10. She concluded the epistlo by informing him that she was about to start for Portland to join her husband. IIo is not at all discouraged discour-aged by his good or ill fortune, as the case may be, and intends to keep trying until be is successful. Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise, |
