Romance in Real Life.

A writer in one of the Portsmouth Vir-
ginia papers, tells the following romantic
occtrfence, alleged to have taken place
there.
A singular and romantic affair in real
life has recently come to our knowledge. 49,
Some twentysix years ago, in this State.
there lived happy married couple. They
entered upon life with prospects as bright
as the unclouded sun. They lived in
afauence and prosperity but two short
years rolled around and he who had plighted
his faith to love and protect the one he had
loved in youth, by course of dissipation
was led to the infataations of the gambling
table. sHe soon squhnderea@ bis WORLDLY
goods and was reduced to paszry and want.
Reflections of his former prosperity and
new reverses drove him an exile from his
home wanderer in foreign land, and he
left the former partner of his joys, to seek
fortune and happiness in some other quar-
ter of the world. He roamed stranger
in every land-in every quarter of the
globe. His prosperity and adversely were
as varied as his abode. His wife thus
left destitute with two young infants, with
woman's true and faithful nature and
with that love that only mother knows,
struggled and toiled under disadvantages.
which only those under similar circumstan.
ces, can devise or divine; and by her unit
ring energy to her needle, and with the
strictest frugality and industry, succeeded
in making suficiency to support and ed
ucate her destitute children.
Years rolled on. The wife had given
up all hope of the safe return of her once
dear and only tie. She abandons the
thought of ever seeing him again, friends
weep and mourn with her, and offer the
sympathies of true affection. Year after
year passed, and still no hope of his return.
She has accumulated a competency, and by
the persuasion of friends, privilege and a
duty due to herself, she applies to a court
of justice and is divorced-left free to
marry or act as she may think proper
Her children have grown to maturity,
one chooses the profession Of medicine and
graduates with honor after few wears
devotion without success in his profession.
he gave it up and sought some other en-
ployment. He married with happy pros
pect, and is now employed in one of the
cities of Virginia as clerk and is receiving
the highest wages in his branch of business.
Twenty-three years have passed away amid
ten thousand vicissitudes, and the roaming
husband and father returns, to give peace

it as common avocotion, the same as any
other article of merchandise? Ifit be wrong,
it ought to be abolished. The liquor laws
OF South Carolina present strange anomaly
If it is wrong to sell pint of poison without
a license, it surely ought to be considered
just as much so to sell three gallons without
one. Strange legislation, that! The people
must take this matter home to their hearts
and examine each for himself, and decide
upon the justice or injury which they receive
from this miserable tracfic. Let us, friends
reason together. Look at the question
fairly and honestly, and as men who love
their country, endeavor TO do all We can to
abolish this vile, soul-debasing, God. d.dishonor-
sing traffic. LetJthe voices aof ten thousand
freemen be heard in the laid from the lof-
ty peaks of the blue ridge to the seaboard-
Down with the Liquor Traffic.
HUMOROUS INCIDENTAL laughable
incident occurred in this country some
time since, the circumstances of which we
got from one acquainted with the transac-
ton. An old gentleman farmer, who had
two handsome daughters, was so cautious
of his charge, that he would not permit
them to keep the company of young men
however, they adopted the following expe-
dent to enjoy the company of their lovers.
After the old man retired to rest, the girls
would hang sheet out of the window, and
the beau would seize hold of the sheet, and
with the assistance of his lady-love, who
tugged Justify above, would thus gain an
entrance; but it so happened that one
evening the girls hung out the sheet too
early, for the old gentleman. by some
illwind, was accidently around the corner,
and spying the sheet, could not conjecture
the meaning of its being there so he
caught hold and endeavored to pull it
down; the girls above supposed it to be
one of their beaux, began to hoist, and did
not discover their mistake until the old
mans head was level with the window sill.
when one of them exclaimed ooh Lord
tits dad ? and letting go the sheet, souse
came down the old man on the hard ground
dislocating one shoulder, which convinced
him that to make old maids out of his
daughters, was matter not so easily ac-
complished, and Withdrawing all further
opposition to their keeping company, he
was soon father-in-law.

Cutting Grass and Curing Hay.

Timothy should never be cut until after
the seed is formed, and then between the
milk and dough state. Orchard grass,
however, is much more tender when cut
in the flower, and is therefore so much
preferred by cattle when so cut, that it
should not be permitted to ripen into seed
before cutting; it does so however, to a
great extent after cutting, and much more
nutriment than timothy.
Many farmers do not consider the scorch-
ing effect of our June, and July sun, and
the consequence is that hay is too much
dried in this. Unless the grass be very
thick and heavy, it will generally cure
sufficiently when exposed in the swarth for
two days When shook or stirred, out, it
should not remain in this condition beyond
the first day, or it will thus loose much Of
It's nutritive juices nor should dew or
rain be permitted to fall upon it, unless in
cocks. 1t is better after partially drying
to expose it three or four days in this way
and as soon as properly cured place it un
!, der cover. 1t is "a good practice to salt hay
when put up, and it is thus secured agains

there is no waste of the salt, as it serves tn,

dar Run, about eight miles.niosn.n, sn.nssp.or, and
vile, in Alexander county. Mr.. Hilf gradu-
ated with the first honors at Davidson Col
lege last summer, and is, no doubt, a young
gentleman of the first grade of intellect
He has been teaching nearly twelve months
at the above named place, and his untiriny
industry and abundant success in imparting
instruction to the rising generation, have
won for him the confidence and esteem of
his many employers, and Justly entitle him
to the patronage of liberal public. His
school is situated in as healthy section as
there is in the State, being in close proxmi-
ty to the Brushy Mountains, and enjoying
the salubrious breezes peculiar to such
climate. In addition to the healthfulness
of the situation, the incentives to vice are
probably as few as can be found at any 9TH
place in North Carolina King Alcohol,
with all his concomitant train of evils, has
long since been forced to retreat from this
delightful section of country, while there are
few or no temptations from other sources to
entice the student from the path of duty, or
mar the peace and harmony Of the commu-
nifty. We are truly rejoiced to see SO many
schools Of high character springing up in
various sections of the mountainous districts
of western North Carolina; and we ear
nestly hope that the friends of popular edu-
cation will not suffer their energies TO abate,
or their zeal to relax whilst ignorance, su.
perstition, or any other foe to the advance
ment Of good morals and real enlightenment
can be found within our limits. Whilst on
mountainous regions are improving in point o.
morals, and whilst they are looking forward
to the time when the shrill whistle of the
steam-engine shall echo and re-echo through
j their hills aud valleys, and when other i'm
provements shall be carried to certain
point of perfection. let not the sotaries o
Literature calmly fold their arms TO rest
aud content themselves in sheer idleness.-
They have great and important work K
accomplish, work which calls for all thei
energies, anc which, no douot, will effect a
great change in the moral and social con
3 dition of western North Carolina, as an
' other motive which can be brought to bear
: May the day speedily come, when these re
r gions shall be as much noted for their liter;
ture, as they now are for the purity of the
limpid streams, and the salubrity of the
). climate. 30 mote it be.
