TI among other itemé f display, a half doz. grooms- men and bridesmaids 'were put in service. The wedded pair sailed for Europe, and while enjoying 'the luxury of its gayest capital, the husband de- Jtected his wife corresponding with her music [teacher, a fine looking German, by whom she had | been captivated. He immediately notified the parents to send for their daughter, whom hs at nc , and pursued his journey east- ward. i Within six months from her wedding the bride was back in her father's house. That trifling ingredient in matrimony called love is overlooked when the gratifiction of social ambition is at {bgud, but the bride will yetfind the true master of her heart, and, as in Hogarth's famous series {to which I have referred, intrique will be the result. Iu the meantime, while she shares the grandeur of a splendid establishment, she feels that bittertess which gives life to a fiaison. As for the juvenile morals 'of the Fifth avenue, these are illustrated by the fact that at evening it is a common promenade for the most showy class of couftesans. Among the more noted of these marriages a la mode is that of a public man of considerable notoriety, who was at that time &a widower of fifty with a-bad reputation 'both in social and political matters. However, be was reputed to' be rich,and wealth like charity covers a maltitude of sins.. He offered himself to a young lady who had reached the ripe age of sixteen, and hence might 'be expected to know ler price. {his was a house in Filth avenue worth $100,- 00, to be conveyed before the performance of that ceremony which was to unite the affectionate | couple. |, f ' The deed was executed, butit is more than whispered that just one day prior to this the premises were privately mortgaged for $95,000. 'The bride under these cirenmstances might draw consolation from the fact.that her honorable and husband shaved everybody that came in contact with him, and hence such a piece of sharp practice might reasonably be expected. f I presume that the young lady referred to took | pattern by another: marriage a la mode, which occurred several years previously, and excited a great deal of remark. 'This took. place between \a distinguished financier and the daughter of an emineat naval officer. It is said that in this in- stance the ponsidération was not only a deed of a Fifth avenue mansion, but also one $100,000 in valuable stocks. , > This match, as I have said, excited great notice acd even censure, owing to the husband's ante- cedents. As the season advances, the matrimo- nial market is getting exeited,and several import- '| tant bargains are now . under way. Mention is . made of an alliance near at hand between a four story brown stone house with. carriage and ser- vants, and a fortune on top of it of $250,000 on the one hand, (encumbered by 200 pounds of flesh and blood, with the bloated countenance of | a rakish widower), und on the other a chignon and trousseau, a smattering of French and a love | of the world, the flesh and the devil, all done up in the painted form of a fashionable young lady. Should King William hold a review of his sol- ders on the Champ de Mars, in Paris, it will not 'be the first in which be has taken part on a century ago he was promoted there to field rgnk, and took command of a battalion of the 1it guards, as a Prussian major, under his fa- ther's eyes. . The Binghamton Republican, of the 15th, says tliat the wife of Conductor Albert L. Ingham, of the Erie railway, who resides at 41 Carroll street, in that city, that morning presented her husband with three fine babies, all girls. A contemporary says : \Don't marry dimples, nor ankles, nor eyes, nor mouths, nor hair, nor necks, nor ching; nor teeth, nor simpers. These bits and serabsof femininity are miglity poor things to tie to. Marry the true thing.\ Now wfio’s been feeling around this editor with such things as these. in Indiana.
