OR THE MYSTERIES OF LOVE.

A TRUE BAcKwoops STORY.
Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1845-08-13

We have been favored with extracts of letter
from young gentleman who has but recently
left the land of his nativity, for an adopted home
in distant cline. This gentleman formerly RI.
sided in Richmond, but babe adicu to the city a
few months since, To seek his fortune in u land
of strangers. BY this move. he has shewn hun.
self possessed of an ndomitabie energy; and will
we trust, tind a rich reward for the trials he has
had to undergo in tearing himself away from kith
and kin, to seek home abroad.
The residence Of orr young friend has yet been
too short in Rio, TO give him an accurate idea of
the manners and customs ithc people in that re-
gion; but he seems to write IN fine spirits. and
will doubtless prove himself equal 10 the position
he has assumed in life. We trust his brightest
anticipations may be realized by prosperous ca.
reer amid the scvncs OF new country TO him.
