No Worse Fate for a Girl.

We can conceive of no worse fate foi a pure girl than this —to in irry while 4n a dream,says the New York Herald: to exiiggerate a man’s good qualities until nothing else is visible: to minimize his vices untiTThey disappear; tc have a brief honeymoon of measurelesbliss; then to see the man as he is and as others have always seen himcoarse, ponamon, vulgar, vicious, and even cruel; to learn to loathe him because he is a brute; to loathe hersel! because she was such a fool as to throw her life away; to curse her parents be cause they (lid not take her by force nnd throw her into a cell, a dungeon, any place of confinement, until she came to her senses; to be beaten, neglected, unprovided for, sneered al by the man whom she once thought a god—well, to endure such a fate as that is no awful that even human sympathy aVails nothing to assuage the sorrow..
