LOVE'S ARTIFICES. BY AN EBX-REPORTER. A case which considerabiy puzzled one of the (un)learned police j cecurred somejyears ago; and inasmuch as one of the parties was a female, and a very ty one too, it was diffieult to hold the scales of justice evenly balanced, fur a be on the side of the gentle sex. be complainant was a young map, of some two or three and twenty years old, well dressed, and was a clerk in a dry store. The girl was neatly and plainly attired, ani of very modest deportment—although th: conduct she was charged with did not certainly argue much in favor of her Sp is The young gentleman stated that be very re- Poses ro had’ the female arrested, but he was compelled to do so because she would persist in annoying and forcing her affections upon him, much to is mortification and the injury of his pecuniary interests; for she would come con- tinually to the store,when be was waiting upon ladies, and state that her heart was breaking, and that she couldn’t live without him. He had lost several situations, he said, in conse- quence; and, unless the annoyance could be stopped, be should be compelled to leave the cit This is an extraordinary case,’ remarked the justice. ‘“ This is very improper conduct, young woman—bighly Soeroges end mast be stopped.’’ Then, turning to the young man, he said: ‘ I don’t think the law provides for cases of this sort. It ain’t assault and battery—it ain’t false pretences, or siander, or anything of that sort. The young woman has taken a shine you ought to reciprocate, she’s comely enough,”’ expostulated the young le; in fact, am en- , ‘* Well, young woman,’’ remarked the judge, “I hope you th Seo tha propriety of discon- tinuing your visits to this young man; if not. I shall be obli, to regard you in the light of a nuisance, take measures to abate you.”” ‘I am most unhappy,” said the girl weeping. “« T was weak enough to love him, and he pro- fessed_ to love me once, and only turned me off when he discovered my situation.’’ “That puts the affair in a different light. We must probe the matter further.” “i beg your pardon,’’ remarked the com- plainant, “but your honor has jum t the wrong conclusion. She is not in jitua- tion’ which you suppose.”’ ‘‘ Well, I suppose the girl ought to know,”’ said the judge, emphatically. ‘How is that, young woman; bas this man wronged you?” “No, sir, f can’t say that he has,’’ she re- plied. “I’m weak, but virtuous, thank God!’ “So much the better,” said the judge; “so much the better for bothof you. And now you must settle your differences the best way you ean. As I said before, it’s a case I don’t want to have anything to do witb, and I don’t see as the law provides a remedy for it. But let me advise you, yong woman, to overtake this weakness. ‘Sweet's the love that meets re- tura,’ the poet says, and vice versa. Yours seems to be a hopeless passion, and the sooner you get over it the better. Now go.” The parties thereupon left the court; but I subsequently became acquainted with the par- ticulars of the case, and as it presents some curious features, it may serve to afford the reader alittle amusement. It shows what ar- tifiees love will adopt sometimes to achieve a desired object. It seems that the young man had occasion to pass through Bleecker street very frequently ; and one day he saw s! ing at a door a very. pretty girl, whose well-deve form, set otf to you, it seems, an y & neat and unpretending dress, caused his heart to Gutter. He obtained little more than a glimpse, however, but he kept thinking about her all the rest of the day, and the next day, and the next; and for several days in sueces- sion he passed and re-passed the house in which dwelt the object of his adoration. She did not foil to remark his frequent visits, and it is no wonder that she should be touched by the ten- der passion also, but of course would not let the young man know it for the world. He puzzled his wits for some time to discover some means of ascertaining who the young lady was, be was anxious to discover her name, the respectability of her connections, &c., &e., and after a time he hit upon an ingenious method of obtaining the particulars. He one day drezsed himself up in clothes as near as Si bie like a policeman, and proeeeded buldly to the house, and ringing the bell, the duor was opened by his inamorata, whose face, u secing her determined lover, was suffused with blushes. The young man was all in a tremor, and stated that he had been deputed by the Board of Heaith to inzpect the premises, and see that nothing existed which would be likely to in- vite disease. The young lady assured him that there was no nuisance about the premises, which were kept clean. This would not satisfy the lover, of course. He had proceeded so far triumpbantly, aud was not to be shut off in that way. His daty, be assured her, must be rformed—be wust inspect, thoroughly, every use, and report its condition at the head- quarters. So she accompanied him all over the dwelling, which he found to be in every re- Spect quite satisfactory. ining the par- Jor he seated himself, and taking out his mem- orandum bvok, said that it was necessary to enter the number of the house and the name of the cceupant. He was informed that the name of the gentleman was Jenkins—John Jenkins—and it was entered. Matters had, thus far, progressed very favor- ably, but he mast yet talent something about the young lady herself. She might be the daughter of the gentlemman—probab y was; but again she might only bea poor relation. He must glean some information about her; but how to do it’ That was the question that pus- sted him. A lover's brain, however, is frait- fal of expedlients, and he speedily hit upen another idea, which was to settle the business. He told the young lady that it would be ne- cesvary to bave a certificate, which must be signed by some one living in the house, so that they wight be satisfied at headquarters that the otficer had done his duty. He accordingly wrote one out iu due form and the young lady signed it. It wasnot the nameof the occupant ot the house, however; and here was a dilem- wa which partially nonplussed him, and for a few moments he knew not what todo.

Y. Sunday Times. A CHAPTER OF DECEPTION. “The Scotsman of Aagist Lenyr: Yesterday evening, Hon. Major Yelv: , of the Royal Artillery, who was apprebended and lodged in ‘the Calton jail on Thursday evening, ch: with bigamy, was liberated on bail. The amount of sécurity, we understand, is £1,000. The circumstances of th inful case have for several months been familiarly known in Edin- burgh circles, and there is now no use in ab- staining from mentioning them, so far as they are supposed to be known. It is understood that some months ago Major Yelverton (who is the second son of Lord Avonmore, an Irish pest.) went through the form of marriage in reland with Miss Lovgworth, an Irish lady of respectable family and some fortune. Mis3 L. formerly resided or visited in Edinburgh, where she formed the acquaintance of some of the highest in position among our citizens, and had also acted as a lady nurse in the Crimea, at the period when Major Yelverton was there ou service. The marriage ceremony in Ireland was performed, it is understood, by a Roman Catholic priest, and there are doubts (or more than doubts) as to its legal effieacy, Major Yel- verton being a Protestant, although Miss Long- worth had become aconvert to the Romisi Church. But subsequently the couple lived in lodgings in Edinburgh, in the avowed charac- ter, it is alleged, of man and wife, which would substitute a legal marriage according to Scotch law; and a great deal will depend on the facts as to this point, in both the civil and criminal “cases which may be said to have already arisen. They also traveled on the Continent with a passport in which they were designated as Mr. and Mrs. Yelverton. In June last, the Major leaving his oor capes wife in Paris, came to Edinburgh, on the 26th of that month was married in the Epi Chapel, Trinity, by Dean Ramsay, to the widow of our late lament- ed townsman Prof. Edw’d Forbes, a daughter of the late Gen. Sir Charles Ashworth. The mar- riage was not at first announced in the newspa- Pers in the usual way, but received a wide and simultaneous publication about three weeks afterward. The facts, it is understood, are that the sup} first wife having got a bint of Major Yelverton’s intentions, followed him closely from Paris, arriving eit! after the second marriage, or, it is said, even before it, though unable to prevent its solemn- ization, or perhaps to ascortain when and where it was to be performed. Of eourse she and her relatives immediately took such steps as have now led to the arrest of Major Yelver- ton on the charge of bigamy. The Indiana True Repu’ in of the 19th of August, says: The citizens of the quiet little village of Knightstown were thrown into the most intense excitement on Friday evening, by the discovery that Miss Ann Ragan, daughter of a respectable widow lady of that place, had been most foully murdered. On Tuesday even- ing the deceased was taken ill, and continued ra ate! worse rapidly until Friday, when she died while in a severe convulsion. On Satur- day morning a post-mortem examination was held, and it was ascertained that an abortion had been produced upon the body of the young girl by mechanical means. This sad occur- rence i# not without its moral. The murdered girl will reat in her dishonored grave; the poor old broken-hearted mother will bend un- der the great it of the sorrow that has been thus cruelly thrust upon her aged heart, until she sinks into the grave; but the seducer, who will ire this blood at bis hands? Who will meet him with a less friendly grasp? What young lady will “decline the honor’ of bis company’? What mother will forbid herdaugh- ters to associate with him? What “circle” will refuse him admission because of the stain of outraged innocence and murdered woman- hood upon his hands? And yet thisis society— the society our daughters, sisters and wives move in! Since the perpetration of this dark act, we have seen the principal actor in it, in a company of respectable men, laughing gaily and talking lightly. This was the day after her burial, and there was no shrinking back among those men, as though the plague was among them. And why should they shrink ? Her blood is upon his hands; but then you know his fine kid gloves will hide all that. Readers will remember the marriage, last = ay of William A. Carr, of Kentucky, to rs. A. P. Briggs, of Columbus, Ohio, the re- sult of advertising for a wife in the New York Times. Carr, it will be further remembered, received letters from 101 women—candidates for his band From the lot, he finally selected the Columbus widow. It turns out that Carr was something of a gay deceiver, and that he made a written protestation of love and wed- lock to others besides the favored Mrs. Briggs. The Ashland Kentuckian of May 17th, in no- ticing the rich correspondence and singular match, says: Thereby hangs a veritable tale; and it may be possibly, a suit for breach of romise, with exewplary damages. Mrs. Pau- ine W. Carrol, um /ady, now sojournin in Greenup county, bas put us in possession of a series of letters, which clearly proves said Carr to be a “gay deceiver!’ a fellow who loves not wisely but ‘wo well! Since the an- Bouncement of the villain’s marriage, while under solemn promise to her, Mrs. Carrol bas concluded to bring suit against Carr for breach of promise and damage to her tender affec- tions. As the /ady is young and handsome, and has the documents to prove the treache: and false dealing of the too amorous Carr, it is more than probable that a Kentucky jury will give her exemplary damages, and then the reprobate overseer will be made to pony up to the tune of thousands. The result of his jhe ing attempt to trifle with the tender affections of young womanhood, will sadly intertere with the honey moon and domestic /edickity antiei- = by Carr in his union with the Columbus widow ta The Carlisle Journal thus describes the Workmanship style in which Lord Brougham went through bis duties in cutting the first sod of the Eden Valley Kailway a few days ago : “ Brougham received from the brawny navyy who stood beside him a neat spade, with which hecut the first sod, and threw it in a handsome mahogany barrow, which had been provided for the oceasion. His lordship then, with a vi as remarkable as it was characteristic, whee the barrow along some planks that had been laid for a distance of some ten or a dozen yards, emptied its contents, and then, in a truly navvy- like manner, turned bis back, and pulled the barrow to the point whence be atarted. the operation, the most deafening cheers re- sounded from every part of the fleld. His tord- ship appeared to be mach amused with his own performance.’” 1" Judge Peters being asked to define ac: tain of a compauy, said “Tt is one man comma ed by a hundred others.”’ {[7~ Foote expressed the belief that a certain | mixer would take the beam out of his eye if he knew be could sell the timber.
