AN AFFECTING LOVE AFFAm.--TH The d1ngcrs Of
u slight pota,ion.--An affair very much like the
celebrated story o; the CapuIets aud Montagues
came TO light this morning. Two bakers, both
alike in dignity, in the Southern part Of this fair
city, where we lay Our scene, are the heads Of
ryal houses. Their names are Batter and Simp-
son. Their Cnmity originated in business COM
potion. Butler advertised "the largest bread in
the city" and obtained run of custom, for
which Simpson could never forgive him. From
forth the fatal lons of thesc two foes, pair Of
starcrossed lovers take their life whose misRdven-
turous, plteous overthrow have not an end 10
their parents strife. Butler has "sole daught
er OF his house and heart" called Cathauuo, and
Simpson has an only son and heir, who is enter
ed on the GaptismaI register by the name of Ebo-
eneZer Those young folks have been violently
in love with each other ever since. indePend-
cnce Day. Each father, of course, is turonsly
opposed 10 their Cuun; all intercourse between
bbanozor and CatAarnc is sternly prohibited by
the old gentlemen. The lovers were obliged to
arrange meetings out Of doors and to do their
spark ng as Aristotle did bis lectuyng, that 10,
perpaieticalIy, or Iocomotively. While the
weather was mild and agreeable, that WAS no
great hardship, but OF such a night rs last night
the torch Of Cupid was hurdly sufficient to keep
his own fingers warm, much less could il impart
a comfortable glow to his yotares, Ebenczer and
Catharne. Before they had said oil those sensi-
Die things 10 each other for which love Dialogues
are generally Distinguished, they found them
selves wahug near the junction Of Thirteenth
and Pine streets, very much distressed by the
freezing atmosphere. E5ouczer proposed lit
tie alcoholic stimulation, to which Cathar'nc re-
iuctanuy overwhelmingly 10 keep out tho cold.
As the heads Of lovers are generally very weak,
a very small dose Of liquid excitement suthced
to mike a "piteuus overthrow OF E5cnczer aud
Cathariuo. They were found in q state Of insen-
siJi.ity, lying side by side, on coilardoor look
ing like the babes in the wood; being Ike those
