lIRS. JONES' TRIALS.
Mr. Jones was married. He had been
married a long time, even since he could re-
member, almost. The first Mrs. Jones was
a pretty schoolboy love, and died early. Mr.
Jones was -a widower more than six months,
and then, finding the burden of his grief too
heavy to be bottle alone, decided to share
his regrets with a sympathizing friend. The
connection was a happy one for many years.

Patience Norcrossot young lady of thirty.
We have said that Mr. Jones had a habit
of being married, and it had so grown upon
him that, had Providence opened the way,
be would probably have followed up a aeries
of bereavements with a succession of conso
lotions. But in selecting Miss Patience he
had no_ regard for compatibility of temper.
Ho had never thought anything about- it.
His other marriages - had been happy acci
dents, and,so far ac he reflected, that was the.
order of nature. But Miss Patience had ti
habit, and it cwas in accordance with her
name, for it was a feeling that leaned to vir-
tue's si . de, and beyond it. She lived In the
remote and in the future. The-present with
her was never anything but a makeshift, a
mere temporary expedient 'till better times.
Distance not only lent enchantment to her
objects of pursuit, but was absolutely the
only charm to which she was sensitive. She
really liked Mr. Tones almost up to the hour
of his proposal 'meeklv tolerated him
ever after.
They were boarding for v time, and the
wife said sulnitissively to all her friends, "0,
yes, it is very pleasant for the present. till
we feel able to keep house."
Mr. Jones, alter the remark had been re
iterated for the fiftieth time, asserted that he
was able to keep house. ro prove this be

get to their new dwelling. There were the
usual delays and disappointments, and Mrs:
Jones' love of endurance was fullvtgretified;

At length the house was built and far t

A STRANGE FREAK.
How ti Young Lady Defamed Her Own
Character.
One of the most singular affairs that has
'taken place for some time has late engrossed
the attention of the citizens of Manchester,
New Hampshire: The atlair, which consist
ed of an attempt to defame the fair name and
reputation of ; a very respectable young lady
of Manchester, has developed a very singu
lar mania. The story of the sensation is told
by the 31.inchester daily Union, to the effect
that complaint was recently, made to Post
master Cify, of that city, by a young lady of
exemplary character, employed in one of the factories there, that Lzhe had during several
months past received letters - from an. anony
mous writer, or some person unknown to
her, of a threatening and defamatory charac
ter, and she requested his aid in ferreting out
the writer. Letters from the same writer had
also been sent to smite of the fellow-boarders
of the lady • derogatory of their character,
and letters had also been sent to the lady's
uncle, living in another State, making some
charges against her character. The Union
says:
, "The letters stated in substance that this
lady keeps bad company, is out nights and is
running down vent fast, and that her most
intimate lady friend had for a bean the great
est rowdy in the city, and that her uncle
should at once look after her and try to save
her front ruin. The programme laid down
In one of these threatening` letters was to
procure her 'expulsion from the Good Tem
plars' Lodge,l the - Sunday School class, and
make, her Use scorn of her relations. Her
uncle wrote to her boarditrs b house keeper,
inquiring as to the truth of the charges, and
was promptly Informed that there was not
the least truth in them. The young lady and
het friends considered the case a most aggra
vated one, and the Postmaster at once set
about finding out the guilty party. All let
•tera received for the lady or sent by her were
watched. Fewer letters were sent or re
ceived after this investigation began, but the
lady received similar - letters that were tucked
under the door at her boarding house, and
thus'the correspondence was kept up, and it
sPen4ecl impossible for the lady to escape her'
vile pursuer, „who said in one of the letters :
'The arch fiend may or may not be in league
with me, but you'll think he's after you if you
don't be a little careful of your impudence.'
In this letter the lady was addressed in the
commencement-,as 'Miss Spitfire, and the
name signed at the close as the writer was
that of a lady.
"The Postmaster obtained some 'of these
and also - some of the lady's letters, and the
comparison of the-two at once led him to
suspect that the receiver and the writer of
the letters were one anti the same person.
The suspicion was communicated to the
boarding house keeper, who at once said it
emits] not he so; the lady's character was so
irreproachable that no one could believe she
was capable of such deception. But the
Postmaster accused her to her face of being
the author of the letters. At first she stoutly
denied it; but' on being further confronted

Remarkable Marritige..Betrotbed to
Three Brothers.
The Anaricus (Cfehrg,ia) Courier relates
the particulars of a case in that conaty fa
which the bride was betrothed to three broth
ers, and married . two of thew, Which is
rather remarkable:
. On the 6th of August, 1866, a young man
came to Americus and procured 'license to
marry an estimable young lady, residing sev
eral miles trom this city, went home, and
was married in. the afternoon of that day.
He was attacked by a congestive chill,which
terminated in his death on the following
Saturday, the stricken bride following hia re
mains to their last resting place, clothed in
the same suit in which her heart was made
glad by becoming his bride.
%tate , following Aurst (16674, the sec
ond brother of the y , same family came to
Americus for the same purpose which had
brought the deceased out. year previous. On •
his war home, rejoicing in happy anticipa
tion of making the worthy widow of his lost
brother his own bride, he was caught 'in a
heavy raiu, and 'arrived at home with his
clothing thoroughly saturated, from which he
was taken with a congestive chill the same
evening anti died the evening previous to
the marriage, which was to have taken place
the following Sabbath. • Again, instead of
listening to the merry ringing of marriage
hells, the death knell was heard and a tuner
! al procession took the place of the marriage
' feast. Some time during last month the
third brother of the demised procured a 11-
cense and was happily piarricl to the twice
bereaved lady.
"No PRESENTS RECEIVED."-A gentleman
in Cleveland, whose daughter is soon to be
married, has had printed on the wedding
cards, "No presents will be n'iceiyed. - ' That
is sensible. The custom of giving presents
at wedding has grown'to stich an abuse that
invitations to a weddine: arc looked on with
as much 'dissatisfaction as the receipt of a
dunning letter..: Every one on any kind of
relation with the parties feels obliged to go,
and dare' not - go empty handed. whilst the
fear of being, thought stingy induces the
making Ofa larger gift than at all times-can
be well afforded. The receipt of presents
places the young couple under obligations to
the givers, that uequently become very bur ,
densome, especially as they arc expected to
Mre commensurate returns wit, marriages
,take place in the families of the donors. in
many cases friends of the young couple ab
sent themselves from the weddintz, and there
by give rise to a feeling of coolness, simply
because they qtre unable to make presents
equal in value to those of wealthier friends,
and do not wish to provoke comments by
their : own humble gifts, though larger in pro
portion tb"their means than the more costly
trifles, and given with sincere affection; We
hope the notice "No presents will be re
ceived," will appear frequently on wedding
cards, until, at least, the old and simple kind
of presents again come in vogue. ,
