A wedding that is soon to take place oa the West Side was brought about in such a romantic manner that the particulate are worth relating. Last summer a poor but lazy young man became enamored of the only daughter of an Ashland avenne millionaire, and sought her hand (either one would do him, he said, in his reckless way) in marriage. Having fixed things with the girl, he went with his breaat beating wildly, to see her sire. The old gentleman received him cordially, and, after they were seated, the youth spoke out boldly declared that he loved the beauteous being to distraction life wouldn't be worth a dollar a day to htm without her, &c, and would the old man give his consent? Gazing steadily out of the window (apparently at an ash tree which Sam Walker planted several years ago), the eminent citizen and girl proprietor remained buried in thought for several minutes, while tears welled into his eyes as he thought how short seemed the time since Ethelinda (this is the girl's name) sat on his knee and patted away in childish innocence and glee and how now she was habitually sitting on another fellow's knee, and had given her heart to him. But, dashing away the tears, he inquired of the young man how he was prepared to support "Little Ethy" in case they were married. The hopeful lover began the usual talk about two strong arms, a stout heart, &c., but the Old man interrupted him with,

MOh,

don't doubt but your heart is all right, and your liver too, for that matter. But how are you off for currency?'1 The young man said he had but little, but he was working hard for more, and that very afternoon had played

on a horse

in a race to occur the following day, and if his animal won he would simply put the pool box under his arm and start down town. "Ah! it's a sad vice, this gambling." said the father. The young man allowed that it was. but said he had a "pointer" on the particular horse, "and," he continued,

ttif

you play a thing play it high." But the old man had gone against too many "pointers" in his day to be deceived, and 60 he told the young fellow that he couldn't have Ethelinda, and the youth went away sorrowing. Both he and tne old man were at the races the next day, however, and things acted different. The $64 horse won the fust heat in 2:22^4, shutting out all his competitors but one. Hardly had the result been announced when the haughty merchant came tearing across the quarter stretch and hunted up the unsuccessful suitor of the previous evening, who was blandly smoking a fifty cent cigar on the Club house steps. He" hastillv explained that, having slept on his determination of last evening, he had considered it, and that he saw nothing in the way of the union between the young man and Ethelinda. "Your' actions, to-day," he continued, show me that you possess an acumen far superior to that of most young men. who think of nothing but pleasure. Come, let us go and see how the other horse is cooling off." It's nothing to me," said the young man, because he wasn't fairly out of the harnebs before I had the driver by the ear, and fixed him don't sweat about me old man, when it comes to managing a race.'' "God bless you my boy!" exclaimed the now thoroughly converted father. "I used to do a little in that line myself years ago you can bet I'll never let so sure a thing as you go out of the family.*' That night Ethelinda resumed her place on Edward's right knee, and ail went merry as a marriage bell.

FAST MEN.

Speaking of this class it may be said that one of the most painful aspects of social life is the miserable condition of the rich young men of this city. A fresh instance of their danger is found in the case of Frank Curtis, son of the opulent Paul A. Curtis. I wil remember the latter as a dry goods jobber, in which business he laid the foundation of a large fortune. He had a fine house in the fashionable part of the city, but sold it and moved further up town in order to avoid the vicinity, of the club houses. The latter were attracting his son, but' the removal was too late to break the snare. The youth became the hopeless slave of strong drink, and the usual result followed. An unknown corpse, found in the river was conveyed to the morgue, and there the millionaire father recognized his unfortunate son. The latter to escape the horrors of delirium tremens had committed suicide. £uch is onlv one of those incessant tragedies which occur among cur young men of wealth. What splendid misery may be found among the glittering abodes cf fashion and high life! There are indeed few scenes more shocking than that where Paul A. Curtis, trembling under the weight of four score years, meets the half putrifled corpse of his son in the common receptacle of the unknown dead.—[N. Y. Corr. Troy
