A Romance of Life.

The Glasgow Constitutional IA Scot
tish paper) of late date contains the
following curious statement
Some seventeen years ago a native of
Paisley. son of one our most respect
able tradesmen, went to sea The yes
sci foundered, and, with one solitary ex-
ception, all on board perished. The sad
intelligence was soon brought 10 Pals
ley the family went into mourning and
for seventeen long years if they had not
forgotten the sailor, they bad ceascd to
TIA nix of him. as one about whose fate
there could not he the shadow of doubt.
A letter lately made its appearance
here, addressed to the young mans faith.
cr, who several years ago had retired to
a watering-plNce on the West Coast, to
enjoy the ot1um cum dignit0te Of
green old age As he had long been Uut
of Paisley, the post-oflice folks had for
gotten him and could not find n party
to whom the letter should be delivered
1t was sent to Edinburgh. and after be.
ing tossed about from one Office to an.
other, was opened at London, and thence
re directed TO Paisley, with instructions
that every effort should be made to dis.
cover the owner, The contents soon
led to the discovery, aud now it appears
that the young man supposed to have
been lost at sea was the one man saved
\ person, at present in New Zealand,

that a white man was living far up the

were not likely to have recognized each

both natives of Paisley and had been at
school together some twenty-five years
ago The surprise and astonishment OF
tNe stranger may be well conceived. AS
for the host, he explained that he had
been picked up from the wreck of his

"Aro we to have State superintendent

"Aro we to have State Superintendent
The last number of the Republican
Standard, printed at Bellows Fails,
asks the above question, and charges
the Wings with the entire responsible
ty of not filling the Office. That there
we're a few Wings who opposed the re-
election of Mr.. BURNHAM in the Leg
islature of 1851, we do not pretend to
deny. There are always to be found
in any party some who do not sec as do
others upon such questions. But, not
withstanding this opposition, he might
and would have been elected had the
Democrats voted for him. But, instead
of their doing this, they arrayed all
the obstacles and bugbears they could
rake and scrape---not only against Mr..
BURNnAM, but against the Office Itself,
and pronounced it useless and of no
account whatever in the management
Of our Common Schools. And by their
loud talk and low cunning, they sue
ceeded in defeating Mr.. BURNHAM,
and thus leaving the Office vacant. The
same game was played in the Lcgisla-
turc in 1852. The Locolocos from
this county universally opposed both
Mr.. BuRNIIAM and the office ITSELF
For proof of our statements ON tins
point, we would refer the editor Of the
STANDARD to DR.. WILCOX, who happen
ed to mis-represent this town in 1881 ,
on that question, as well as others,and
to Mr.. MARTIN, of Landgrove. Both
OF these champions Of Democracy in
this county did their best. we think, to
defeat the appointment of any one to
the office and were also in favor OF
repeating the act creating the Office
4 And these are not isolated cases-it
was SO throughout the State. And now
for the Standard to charge the whole
blame upon the Wings, is rather mean
or than we had supposed any Locoio-
co paper in the State capable Of doing.
The Office Of State Superintendent
of Common Schools We have always
deemed of vital Importance, and were
among the first to utter our denuncia-
tions against the men who participated
/ in its overthrow. And time has moi
changed our viows upon this subject
we still believe that the office should
be filled by a competent pcrson-w'
prefer Mr.. BURNHAM. because We be
iieve him perfectly competent ;-an'
we hope that the people will instruc
rthcir Representatives to vote Tor som'
one capable to discharge the dutle
connected with this office, at the mex
session of the Legislature, :.
In the meantime, We think the edi
tor of the lStandqyd can employ him
self as proftably in discussing ethe
matters as to spend his breath, tim
and talents in attempting 70 manulae
