Romantic story.

Considerable excitement was created at Rock
fish village, North Carolina, about eighteen
months ago, by the mysterious disappearance
of young lady, who, it was afterwards conclu-
ded was dead. She has since turned up in very
unexpected manner, as the following letter in
the Fayetteville North CaroLtnian will show. The
writer says:
A year and a half passed by. The occurrence
OF Mlranda's fate began to be Obliterated from
the mind; those friends who mourncd for her had
laid aside their weeds, and had resigned her as
lost forever
Let us now go back to the eventful night of
her disappearance, and learn the true fate of
our romantic heroine.
II appears she became dissatisfied with her
condition, for some cause unnecessary to detail,
and left her boarding house while all beneath
its roof we're buried in profound slumber; and
for fear of being seen by some one in the village
she took the path leading up the margin Of the
pond, passed by the beach near its head, and
thence to the woods to the main road. She
found herself at daylight some distance of, and
determined. in order TO conceal her identity, to
doff the attire of woman, and assume that OF
the sterner sex. An opportunity soon offered,
seeing at farm house near by pair Of panta-
looms and some shirts hanging on the fence, she
managed to secure them, aud at once appropri-
ated them to her own use. In this disguise she
Travelled on to Bennetsville, S. g., where she
procured work as boy, and diligently applied
herself for several months without exciteing the
least suspicion as to her sex. Her associates
were the males of the village, and though she
frequently went with the boys to the river to
wash she never could be induced to go in her
self, always volunteering to watch the clothes
while they were bathing.
Work becoming scarce, John (for that was
her assumed name) left Bennetsvile and went
to Cheraw, where she labored for two or three
months, until she procured funds enough to take
her to Charleston. In that city she was taken
sick with fever, and though under skilful medi-
cal attendance, she managed to preserve the
incognitio.
John finally, like the moth to the candle, ven-
tured too near her old range, and was discover
ed, first, as one of the operatives of factory in
Fayetteville, by some of those who had known
Miranda at Rockfsh. Finding herself suspect
ed, she left, and hired herself to an old bachel-
or, some miles from town, doing faithfully man
services on the farm in the house, sleeping with
the crusty old bachelor at night without he sus-
pecting what kind Of bed-fellow he had, until
curiosity brought he to town to hear the discus
sion between Bragg and Gilmer, when she was
again met by some of her old acquaintances,
and fully recognized as Miranda, the lost maid
en- Of Rockhsh village.
Mirandi has promised to assume the appro-
pirate costume of her sex, though she says the
men have much more fun than the women; that
Ii will be hard for her hereafter to sit and listen
to the everlasting gossip Of the girls, since she
has mingled with the men, attended the cleo
tions and tax gatherings and become interested
In politics.

THE LAND.

r,ve been upon the mountain deep,
When the wind had died away,
And. like an ocean god asleep,
The bark majestic lay;
But lovelier Is the varied scene
The hill, the lake, the tree,
When bathed iu light Of midnight's queen
The land the land for me
The glancing waves I've glided DER,
When gently blew the breeze syn.
But sweeter was the distant shore,
The zephyr 'mong the trees;
The rsurTnur Of the mountain m,
The blossoms waving free,
The song Of birds on every hli--
The land the land for me
The biTlows have been among
When they rolled in mountains dark,
And night her blacklist curtain hung
Around our heaving bark;
But give me, when the storm is fierce,
Ny home and FIRE side glee,
Where winds may howl, but dare not pierce
The land the land for me
And when around the lightning flashed,
I've been upon the deep
And TO the gulf beneath I've dashed
Adown the liquid steep;
But now that am safe on shore,
There ever let me be;
The sea let others wander DER
The land the land for me Fl

The papers say that we are to be honored by
the arrival of Prince Mecklenburg Schwerin,
brother Of one of the reigning Grand Dukes OF
Europe; magnificent defaulter to the amount
Of more than half of million pounds sterling.
Legal measures have troubled the Prince, and
made his position SO uncomfortable that he has
concluded to get into the locality where they
create defaulters and absquatulators. expecting,
no doubt, to find it rather home-like in this
country. OF course he will make bee-line
for New York city, and as defaulter of half a
million, will take position he has, by the tai
ent to get this much into debt, so Justly earned
Stand aside, ye small fry, who have stolen only
one hundred thousand, and make way for the
Prince.
