several persons were engaged in order to
ascertain the number Of foot passengers
which passed the same place from eigh in

the result was as follows:--From eight to

be found equal in number to 4,455a per

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

A romantic incident has just occurred in
the Marylebone lnfrmary. Ann Dempsey,
a young and interesting girl, who had been
the support OF an aged mother, had gone in
to the inirmary for the purpose Of under
going an operation for the removal Of a
dropsical complaint, which had assumed the
form Of largo tumour. She was warned
Of the painful and even perilous nature OF
the operation, but she expressed her resolu-
ton 10 submit to it, owing TO the ardent
wish that her life might be spared for her
mothers sake. The operation was accord
ingly performed III the presence of her moth
er and several eminent medical men. 1t
lasted two hours and forty minutes, and the
magnitude Of the tumour taken from her
may be imagined when it contained no less
than two gallons and half of water. Not
withstanding the long and painful operation,
singular TO relate, ihis heroic girl never Ut
tered a single cry; but at the conclusion
tenrs wero observed rolling down her cheeks
and being desired not to shed them, she
replied that they "were tears Of joy at her
freedom from the incubus which had so
long afflicted her." As she appeared to be
in a sinking condition, the medical gentle
man upon consultation, deemed fresh
infusion of blood into her VEINS absolutely
necessary. On making inquiries as to
whom they could procure to divide ths
blood it was asoer.ained that two man
were in an adjoining room, one 25, and the
other between 80 and 40 years Of age, anx-
iously awaiting the issue of the operation.
Believing them, in the first instance, TO be
relatives of the poor girl, they were ushered
into the room, when it turned out that the
eldest was her employer, for whom she
worked at she binding and the other jour
ueman in the same employ, both devctedly
attached to the unfortunate girl.
On being made acquainted with her state
and what was required to be done for the
patient, they both simultaneously voIun-
tssred to supply the blood from their veins.
Much bitterness Of feeling and contention
between them ensued as to which should
do SO, which was put an end to by the de-
cislOns of the surgeons in favor of the
youngest, who, barring his arm, with great
energy exclaimed "that ho was willing to
lose the last drop of his blood to save her
life" The blood was then carefully infus-
ed from his arm into the veins Of the poor
sufferer, ill the young man tainted from his
loss. On this taking place the elder lover

THE POOR PRINTER.
AND THE EXCLUSIVES.


On tho fourth of July, l9-, Harriet Lee
might have been seen sitting on the sofa in
her neat little parlor, in house situated in
p. street, N. York. The metropolis was
alive with men. women and children, Of
every color, class and creed--oid men,
whose heads were whitened with the snew
of age--young men in the marldan Of man
hood, unl,edly and unanimously agreed TO
drive dull care away and JOIN the jubilee
10 celebrate the birth day Of American Inde-
pendencs. Ever and anon the bursting thun-
der Of artillery seemed to shake the island
Of Mauhatsen; the carved eagle sat perched
upon the pole of liberty, and our star sPang-
cd banner beeams the playthirg Of the
halmy wind.
Whlst every American heart was briaful
Of Joy and gratitude, there wore two geher-
Gus hearted, noble minded individuals bow
ed down with sorrow so pcugent, and disa-
polniment so bitter, that the soul stirring
proceedings Of The ever TO be remembered
fourth could not raise their dropping spirits.
The persons alluded TO are Harriet and her
suitor, William Malcolm. When the intel
ligen,, patriotic ard highminded William
catered Harriets apartment, he was disap-
pointed and surprised TO see the object OF
his love baihed in tears, Why DO you
weep my dear Harriel7' enQuired William,
in voice rich as music; al the same time
graeping afiectionately her snowy taperrng
fingers, which were ornamcnted with three
costly rings, the offerings which friendship
aud respect had laid upon the altar Of her
fairy hand Harriet gently and gracefully
raised her hsad, while the warm tears Of
grief flowed free and fast frcm her dark hazlO
eyes, and fell upon her fair cheek like dew
drops from rose leaf. What can ] do,
continued William, too tear away The dark
drapery which seems o mantle your tender
feelings in gloomy sorrow on this high and
happy day? Harriets feelings were too
big for utterance; she could not vent her
thoughts in words, so violent was the ten
per Of her excitement accustomed by one
who had broken up tho great deep Of her
heart. Soon afler she was able 10 speak,
see said SHE had jnst returned from visit
TO her aunt r., having paid her visit
for the purpose Of inviting her to attend the
anticipated wedding which would probably
take place in few days. She described
the interview she had with her auRI it is as
follows:
When she had made known her erand
her aunt Observed
is it possible that you, Harriet have as
sumOd the responsibility of Pledging heart
and hand to man without soliciting my ad-
vice!'
Harriet replied, when l igI became
acquainted with the man of my choice, |
sought the advics of my morher, who hap
pened to be in the city at the time: upos
INQUIRY she discovered that my friend was
an honest and honorable man aud had no
