Romantic AFrAIR--MArER1AL FOR A

ROMANTIC AFFAIR--MATERIAL FOR
NovEL.-Yesterday morning Spanish boy
about Is years old, named Joseph Edward
Enc Pobalo, passed through this city en- route
for Washington city, i'm charge Of Adams &
Co.'s Express Company Messengers. The
Tory of his history is essentially roman ic.
1t appears that some ten years ago, while
bathing on the coast near the city of Cam
peachy, Mexico, he, with three other boys,
was stolen by gang of French pirates, who
kept them four years and then sold them to a
merchantmen, who kept them two years, took
them to the city of New Orleans, and there
sold them to a Louisiana planter for the term
of their minority.
Their owner was about to resell them to
a shipmaster to make sailors of them, when
the boy Pobalo made his escape, and worked
his way to Lafayette, Ind. where he attract
cd the notice OF a gentleman who cores
pended with the Mexican minister at Wash
ington regarding him. The minister became
interested in the story of the boy, and wrote
to have him forwarded that he might restore
him to his parents, if they were living. The
boy will probably reach the Mexican minis
ter this evening, and be sent home, if there
yet remains home for him. The supern.
tendents of the various railroads over which
he has travelled since his history became
known, have given him free passes, and no.
tel keepers have declared his bills settled on
sight. Such is very good condensed novel.

port:
Awful Confagration.-A fire broke out
about Is minutes past this morning, on
board the steamer Sam Dale, lying at the
foot of Dauphin street, and in a short time
she was completely destroyed. The flames
soon communicated to the Ambassador,
which shared the same fate.
1t is rumored that several bodies were
picked up in the river, from the Sam Dale,
but we cannot vouch for its authenticity.

hoped will prevent any further confagra-

OF Pain and pleasure, good and evil, come
to us from unexpected sources. 1t is not
there, where We have gathered up our bright
est hopes, that the dawn of happiness breaks.
1t Is not there, where we have glanced our
eye with alright, that We find the deadliest
gloom. What should THIS teach US! TO bow
to the great and only Source of light and life
humbly and with coniding resignation.

How TO DO GooD.-Good is not done by
dragging religion head and shoulders into
common conversation. Wisdom and pru-
dence, and good sense are as necessary in
what regards the next world as in what re-
CARDS this. Careful thought and earnestness
are necessary to the great work of being our
brothers keeper, and a judicious activity is
the conGition of a real success in this way.

40 To constitute perfect gentleman,
the best attributes of the heart and head must
be combined. He who would indeed deserve
that proud epithet, must be devout, courteous,

philanthropic, and, above all, incessant and
intrepid in charitably succouring the weak,
the lowly, and the poor.

A girl who resides On Lock street, in

in going from Main street to her home,

over to lock by the way of Caledonia
street. When she had crossed Caledonia
street on Church street, she was car.

was, as She describes it, "as il some one
had taken hold of her arm"
Following the impulse, or lead, she
lea. the companion Of her walk, and
FASTENED to. the. railroad crossing OH
Church street, pursued the railroad track
to the deep cut west Of the transit, when
she was compelled to go to something
lying on the ira ck of the railroad" She
heard the whistle Of the cars around the

the. track, but was hurried upon her spir-

TINES CnANGE.-The lapse Of fifty
years has workt 4 wonderful change in
the relations between Great Britain and
the family of Bonapartes. About half ,
century ago, the British Government ut
terly refused to recognise Napoleon I. as
invested with imperial rank-waged war
against him as usurper and a person
dangerous to the well being of Europe,
and never desisted from hostilities till his
power was completely crushed. Now
mark the change that time has wrought.
Some six "; ,ks ago, at an entertainment
given in London by Count Walewski, the
French Ambassador, the Queen of Great
Britain made the circuit of the rooms,
leaning on the arm of the Count, and on
retiring, saluted the Countess on the
cheek. Count Walewski is an Ilegitl-
mate son OF the great Napoleon by Brit
ish Countess % 'sIEhaoe
