Love and Romance.

Tho following is the prctticst little romantic
story we have met with in some time:
"Thomas a Booklet inherited romantic turn
Of mind from his mother, whose story is sngu-
lar one. His father, Gilbert Beckett, flourish
ing citizen, had been in his youth soldier in tho
crusacd, and being taken prisoner, become slave
to an Emir or Saracon prince. BY degrees he
obtained the confidence Of his master, and was
admitted to his company, when no met person
who became more attached to him. This was
the Enr's daughter. Whether by her means
not, does not appear bat after somo tlme he con-
trivcd 10 cscape.-Tho lady with loving hoart fol-
lowed him. She knew, they say, out two words
Of his language, London and Gilbert, and by re-
peating tho former, she obtained a passage in a
vessel, arrived in England and found hor trusting
way to the metrop lis. She then took to her
other tasman went from street, to street. pro-
nouncing Gilbert a crowd collected about her
wherever she went, asking, Of course, thousand
questions, and all she had but one answer
Gilbert! Gilbert' She found her faith in it
sufficient. Chance, or her determination TO 60
through every street. brought her at last to tho
O ne in which he who had won her heart in slavery,
living in good condition. Tho crowd drew
the family to tho window: his serva ut recognized
her, and Gilbert Beckett took to his and
his bridal bed, his far princess with her
solitary fond word"

Thomas Paine.

A gentleman in New York who personally
knew Thomas Paine, and was repeatedly in his
company during the last years of his life, gave
tho following account Of conversation with him
respecting the Bible:
One evening found Paine haranguing a COM
pany Of his disciples, the great mischief done
to mankind by the production Of the Bible and
Christianity. When he paused said--Mr. Paine,
you have been in Scotland; you know there is not
more rigid Sc, of people in the world than they
arc in their attachment to the Bible; is it not their
school book! their churches are full of Bibles
When young leaves his fathers house, his
mother always in packing his chest, puts Bible
on the top Of his clothes. He said II was true.
con,inued-You have been in Spain and Portugal;
whore thew have no Bible, and there you can hire
man to kill another who never gave him any Of
fence. He asscn.ed. You have districts in
Europe, where not one man in fifty can read; and
yeu have been in ireland. whore the ma ority new
er saw a Bible. Now you know it is an historl-
cal fact, that in one county in England or Ire
land there are many more capital convictions
in six months. than there in the whole popu-
lation of Scotland in twelve. Besides, this day
there is not ono Scotchman in the Almshouse,
State Prison. Bridewell, nor Penitentiary OF n.
York. Now then, if the Bible was so bad book
as you represen. it to be those who use 1t would

Drca .fn; Result of lntemperance.

Wo learn from the Hagarstown News, that an
incorporate named McAfo, living on the
South Mointnin,in Washington county took homo
and deposited in his house, few days ago, Jug
Of whisky, and two of his children, in tho alb
Of tho family, partook of it freely. On
the return Of the other, sho found her children
in tho agonies Of death, foaming at tho mouth,
their faces horribly discoored, and so b!oated
almost to doty recognition. and in her presence
they died an awful and premature doath. The
agony of tho mother, says tho News, may be inn
agned, but what wore tho feelings Of the reckless
father it would be difficult to conceive.-Balti-
