RoMANTlc-PAlNFUL CASE,

A Distressing case, one Of those instances
of deep devotion which woman's faithful bos-
ON only can show, has occurred in this city
within the past few days. 1t but gives anoih-
er proof how little even those who mean
kindness for loved child, can direct or decide
where the affections have already given their
allegiance TO another. 1t seems that young
lady of beauty aud most amiabe disposition,
had, IN all the truth of her young heart, given
her love to young man, ,inwbom her feelings
were reciprocaed. They were engaged to be
married, and oven the wedding clothes were
prepared, when, about Christmas day, her faith
or, no doubt for what he thought good reasons,
told her she must give up him upon whom che
had poured out the rich treasure Of her deep
and confdng love. 1t was hard struggle,
one that shook the strong cords Of life ITSELF
She mourned in silence-a deep melancholy
came over her, and gradually but silently she
sunk, until few nights since her true, grew
ing heart broke, and her young spirit passed
10 that cline, where peace and uushadowed
Joy live forever. And those who fulfilled the
last sad Offices Of affection, laid out the colo
form III its bridal robes, the same as che had
hoped 10 have been dressed in, in happy hour.
She lay, lovely bride ofdeatb, and a sad, a
fearful witness ofthat intense love which forms
the ever-redeeming beauty OfwomaD. And
who could stand over that youthful victim. and
not feel mysterious sympathy, as they gazed
with fearful eye upon her form, so early. 80
sorrowfuy cut down2 Who that reads this,
shall hereafter say to dear child, your love

The affections are tender plants, and no rude
hand should hastily pluck them from their ma
tive soil.-RiChmond Star.

GOLD AND SILVER ENOUGH IN THE WORLD
FOR THE WORLDS USE. ...

CErtactst from BentOns Speech on the Ercheqncr Btl
III have some tabular statements on hBnd, Mr. Pres
ident made at The Treasury, my motion, and which
show our specie acquisitions during Tie time that lhave
sat in this chair say, sat in This chair for always sit
in the same place. never change my position, and
therefore never have to find or define it, These tables
show our imports of gold and silver during this time
period of2l years--to have been the custom house
books, 1872 millions of dollars: making an allowance.
for the amounts brought by passengers and not entered
on the Aoks ard the total importation cannot be less
than 200 millions. The coinage at our Mint during
the same period is &c millions of dollars. The product
of our gold mnes during hat period has been several
millions; and many millions of gold have been dragged
from their hiding places and restored to circulation by
the gold bill of 1884. Putting all together, and our
spece acquisitions must have amounted TO 22O millions
ofdollas in these2l years. being at the average rate OF
ten or eleven millions per aDum. This Is large ac"
QUESTION, and suggests reflections which will become
stronger by anayzing these tables dividing them into
proper periods and looking to the exports as well as
imports of each PERIOD
divide the twenty yearsinto three periods, cor
,e,pondng with inancial,eras in our own history. and
take the first from 1920 to 1882 the latter date being
the point of time at which the contest with the United
States Bank began This period exhibits the following
apoounts Of inannria and nYnnrts:

hohhred her resignation to the fate which
