A Romantic Story.

We find the following very affecting and
romantic sketch published under the head of
Police Reports, in the Baltimore Republican
of a late date:
Porerty.-A few days since, poor. yet de-.
Gently clad female, presented herself at one OF
our police offices, and requested the magistrate
to send her to the Aims House. Her manner
and language denoted that she had seen oe''ef
days; and while she begged the oihcer to
grant her last request, the tears in rapid course
frickled down her furrowed cheeks, and her
sobs choked her utterapce, as she tried to tell
her mournful story The othcer, as In duty
bonnd. asked her name, when she replied in a
manner that brought tears from the eyes of
those sturdy minions of the law, whose hearts
are necessarily steeled to pity and the finer
feelings of the man.
" Ask me not my name," she cried, "let
me bear in silence and unknown, the fate

me, out let not aged parents, fond brothers

We have for long time been much in favor
of Corn and Cob Meal, not only from our own
experience gifts value as food, but of that of 9TH

and it is generally asserted that horses, mules
and other animals, are not near as subject TO

pure corn. Excellen. machines for grinding
it very rapidly by horse power, may be had IN IN
this city according to size, from $50 to sac

replied, " but if knew more of your history

FASHIONED answer.
The magistrate promised to do all he could
for her, and alleviate her situation as much as
possible. -
"May Heaven bless you, sir =" che said.
! and told the following mournfuI and thrillino
concentration of suffering and perversity, com-
mingled with sobs and the actual feelings of
the woman.
1.-Two years ago, sir, I was happy and knew
not what 1t was to want; my parents were rich,
and owned one of the finest plantations in
Southern State; was butyoung--not twenty,
but had my suitors, thesons ofwealthy men,
|yet l loved them not-no one of the gaudy
throhg had as yet made an impression on nv
heart. There was in the neighborhood, a
poor, but manly youth, the teacher of our dis
trict school he visited our house, and was
treated with all the respect and attention that
the other vsiters received; and IL, sir, fell
in love with that man, and it was reciprocal
ted. My father soon discovered our secret,
and forbade him ever to cross his treshold a.
gain. Need say, sir, we met clandestinely
and were married; we fled and took up our
residence in this city. My husband my
Wiilam,-taught ali academy for livelihood,
and for eighteen months we were happy, but
then my husband was taken sick, and he-he
died Yes-oh COG he died and
was left alone among strangers. l wrote to
my parents, asking their forgiveness-but-
my-letter was returned unopened! My lit
tie means are exhausted, and | must starve,
or-go to that refuge of povelty-the aims
house but it will not last long, the sands of
my life are nearly run out, and look for re-
fugs from this worlds miseries in-my gravel"
She ended, and every eye present was wet
with sympathy for her unhappy situation.
One gentleman who was present, with that
noble, generous, and manly feeling, so char
acteristic of "nature's noblemen," came for
ward and offered her home and asylum be-
meath his roof, which we need not add, was
cheerfully and thankfully accepted, and she
left the Office with the prospect better, if not
happier days before her.
Thus it is in this world, misfortune dares
place her ruthless hands upon victims of eve
ry grade; and the sons and daughters of luxu-
~ sometimes drink of the bitter dregs of the
cup of penury and misery!

Injurious Effects OF iron i'm Soils.

Much has been said and written, not only
on the source whence plants derive their SUBJ
stance, but on their utility distinctive y to
select their appropriate food, and to reject all
other.
think there are some facts, which 90 to
show that plants are not much more intelligent
than animals in this respect. We have lately
had statements in relation to the effects of
common salt on fruit trees, good or bad, accor-
ding to quantity or other circumstances, and
in one instance it has been averred that the
salt went into and destroyed the flavor Of the
fruit.
l have about two acres on one side Of my
farm, lying about two feet below the general
level. which, when first cultivated, had dark
brown, and what was thought an extremely
would grow on it. I satisfied myself that the
sandy loan contained large quantities of iron,
! (perhaps suphuret of iron or pyrites.) Most
Of this have thrown into ridges, and drained
it as well as the position admits, and supplied
| it pretty literally with quick lime. 1t has
produced good crop of oats and peas, and
the clover on it looks well.
Now for fact, which | think is proof that
plants absorb by their spongioles of rootless,
substances which are not only poisonous, but
which they can neither reject nor expel. My
cornfed had a small corner project in this
low plat, which had not been lined. Until
the plants were some inches high, no diffe-
renee was observed; but then it began to falter,
and soon the leaves were beautifully striped
with various shades, from crimson to cor
boo or reddish brown color. In another spot,
some rods distant, in the midst of healthy
growth, was patch Of about square rod, in
which the appearance was the same. On this,
the plants never exceeded IL or Is inches in
height. On examining the roots they was
found corroded and eaten off in al! directions,
and thousands of little lateral rootlets thrown
out to be corroded IN their turn, and so on till
death decided the Struggle. Perhaps shall
be told the coloring matter in the leaves were
not oxyd of iron. l have not said it was, and
as did not analyze it, shall not SO affirm !;
but have no more doubt in my mind that some
compound of that metal was the cause of both
the color and death of the roots, than / should
have with any proof short of positive.
5 My wish is to make this subject, NOT only
one to stimulate Investigation, but, as know
many hundred pieces Of such soil. to ADVISE
those who have it, to apply quick lime In au-
l tumn, and mix it to moderate depth win the
soil in the spring.-CuAirator.

encounter With q Deer.
We have received, from gentleman of
veraclty, the following particulars relative
to most singular encounter between an
individual and deer, which occurred near
the English Turn one day last week.
A German, not fully acquainted with
the habits of the deer, was hunting, when
he suddenly discovered full-grown buck
at some distance in prairie. The hunter
at once commenced creeping upon the
buck, keeping a small willow tree between
him and it. All the time the buck seemed
to be at play, moving about in singular
manner, and totally Indifferent to the ap-
proach of the hunter, who finally reached
the willow not more than twenty steps
from the deer. The man at once deliber-
ately aimed and fred one barrel ofhis gun;
upon which the deer started suddenly,
looked around him till he saw the hunter,
and rushed Instantly upon him. As he
approached, the hunter attempted to
discharge the second barrel of his gun, but
the cap did not explode. The deer was
now almost upon the man, who had thrown
his gun down, still keeping the little tree
between them. With desperate plunge
the deer struck the tree, his huge horns
passing OH either side of it. Instantly the
man, who, fortunately for himself, was
possessed of great muscular strength, seiz-
ed hold of the horns of the animal, holding
him firmly against the tree. He was, as
we have already stated, unacquainted with
the habits of the deer-a circumstance that
tended greatly, doubtless, to his personal
safety. Surprising the inluriated animal,
which was only very slightly wounded, to
be badly shot, and thinking he was at,
tempting to escape, he held OH the harder,
with the determination not TO lose his
game.
Thus the struggle lasted for consider.
able length of time, until both were nearly
exhausted. The ground about the tree
had become-as any of our low prairie
. lands in winter will-quitc miry from the
, long conflict, when one of the deer's fore
legs sank into the mud. The hunter in
stantly took advantage of this, and spring
ing suddenly upon his antagonist, thrus
, his nose into the mire, and actually stiaet
himl He then took from his pocket
small knife, the only weapon about him
o and severed the sinews of the deer's hind
: legs, to prevent--as he expressed it-"t
tam ting from runs array"
f The hunter then left his deer, and goini
n to house not great way off, related hi
l. adventure and procured assistance to re
: move his well-earned booty. This ma
look good deal like "fish story but
is unquestionably true.

| The hint was enough-the Sucker, up-
on the instant, seized the bottle, and, Ges-
perately wrenching out the cork, swallow
ed half the contents at draught. He fair
ly squealed from its effects, and ,gasped,
and blowed, and pitched, and twisted, as
ift were coarsing through him with cleo
trio effect, while at the same time his eyes
ran stream of tears. At length, becom-
ing little composed, his waggish adviser
approached, almost bursting with suppress
sed laughter, and enquired-
How are you now, old fellow did
you kill it?'
Well, did, hoss-ugh-ugh-o-o-o my

sed as if to give force to his words. and
slowly and deliberately remarked-'If You
git two chickens from me for that live AMI
NAL, I'm d-d!' and Selling his seal-skin
he Ua,aished.

tons of the company at this finale, would
