A BIT OF ROMANCE.

y oil Of I(OMA ME-.
It is tritc, but the same time true remark that
thy real incidents oflite constantly, around Us, pos
scss tar romantic interest than fancifu ones
conceived in the teemng brain of the novelists
Ot this the oer TRUE tale, told US in brief by the
steward Of the packet boat louisiana on Saturday will
furnish an illustration.
Some ten years ago as our readers will remember.
there was what termed a rebellion, in Canada af-
ter the "patrots' were subiued some were summari-
II executed, ana portion banshed for long term Of
years to Australia. Most Of these latter were men
with families from whom they were torn without mer
cy to eXpIate in far distant land by Imprisonment
and hard labor the crime Of having failed in the at
tempt to rl their country Of the evil Of msgovernment
we think they acted very uuwisey in proceeding to
ote length they did but this point we shall not stop
consider With one of the expatriatcd men our ia g
has briefly 70 do. For seven or eight wears he had
borne the hardships ofa lonely captivity hopeless
ever seeing home friends again. when general am
nesty was proclaimed by the British government in
regard to ALL with two exceptions of those who
had been concerned in the rebellion Our hero was now
at liberty and his first thought to seek his home
But he had no means to pay his passage there and
be accordingly shipped on board whaling vessel which
at the end ct two years more landed him upon his ma
tive shore
Wife, children and friends, filed his thoughts, and
he hastenel to his Old residence in Canada Every
thing remained as it had been-friends and neighbors
greeted him as he passed-but now his heart sunk
within him TO hni the homestead deserted and to
learn that his wife had been married too years to a.
mother, surprising the husband Of her youth to be
dead. She and her found mate had left that part
OF the country and settled somewhere in Illinois,
