A ROMANTIC STORY.


About twenty years ago, as the story
: goes, man and wife of prominence, by
fashionable position, who had been we'd
ded long enough TO be blessed(?) by a
female baby, discovered that they did
not love one another as they should, and
therefore separated forever. The wife
took the child and sought home in an
eastern city, where her parents resided,
resumed her maiden name. After di-
vorce had been arranged upon and OBJ
tanned by due course of law, tie lady
married, and then the girl Was sent TO a
relative in the interior of York State.
where her education was attended to,
where she lived until a few months
since.
The man has continued to reside in
the West. and being young when sepa-
rated from his wife, of hale constitu-
ton, and particularly careful to remove
from his countenance all traces of times
footprints, has kept up very youthful
appearance, considering his age Being
in afiuent circumstances, of good al
dress, and decidedly agreeable in all the
niceiies that combine TO stamp the gen
tleman Of fashion, he was always regar-
ded as desirable prize by designing
mammas. Nevertheless, he escaped
all their snares, to the great ammo, ance

who really thought it was the duty of
Mr.. to get married 1t might
have been settled aversion to the sex,
or it might be attributed to his early les.
sons-yet it was fact, he did not mar
~.
But, not to be prolix, we will cut short
some of the little, unimportant items and
proceed to the story,
During the last June, a Miss J.
arrived here from the east, on a visit to
relative who has been resident of
the Queen City but few months. The
second week of her sojourn threw her in
company will. the grass widower of twen-
ty years standing, who showed by his
attention that he was more than usually
impressed by the charms of the fair
stranger, Every evening found him at
her side, and she was thought not to be
entirely insensible 10 his charms of per.
son and mind. A month glided away-a
month courtship, which was carefully
noted and meaningly winked at by her
relatives.
At length her hand was asked in mar
riage, and the matter referred to her
cousin. He seemed to favor the project.
and appointed an interview for the trio
the same evening. They met in the
parlor, when a more formal solicitation
was made for her hand and while the
ardent suitor was waiting with breath
less anxiety for the answer that was to
seal his fate, the young lady was led
forward and presented to her own faith
er the lover.
1t is needless to add that both were
astonished; however it resulted in good. |
The father has settled liberal fortune
upon the daughter, and ere this both are
in Paris, preparatory TO making tour
of Europe. This romance of every day
life is but another instance of truth often
times being stranger than fction.-Cin-

A QUEER ENDORSEMENT Casa
gentleman writes TO the Hartford Courant
that about year ago, while engaged in
counting over money, he carelessly put
his name on the back of $50 bill. A
son of Erin came into his Office a few
days since with the bill, and said he had
come from East Hartford, to get gold
from the indorser. The gentleman ex.
amined detector and found the Bank
had suspended, and on further examin-
alton found that he had made himself IL
able as indorser by placing his name on
the back of the bill-whereupon hegrace-
fully "forked over" the required double
eagle.

NJ heart has gone Maying this glorious summer day
Across the broad praires the Homestead quaint ant

And beside the sunbeam that paints the Oaker

There the swallow its nestlngs beneath the

And fits in JOY and gladnezs among the locust eaves
There above the budding orchard and the nook where
berries grow,
Stands the sentry poplar watching and guarding all

The soft south kissing each blade of cleaning
Gay tuneful birds singing from dawn till hush Of

And the air is rife with from the breath Of

glee.
The clover blooms woong the golden winged bee,
The gardens scented border exceeds in gorgeous dyes
The glowing hues Of morning Orbush of sunset skies.

GAMBLING.

Let every man avoid all sorts Of gamb-
ling as he would poison. A poor man
or boy should not allow himself even to
toss up for a half-penny, for this is often
the beginning of a habit of gambling,
and this ruinous crime comes on byslow
degrees. Whilst a man is minding his
work he is playing the best game, and is
sure TO win. A gambler never makes
good use of his money if he should

YOUNG LADIES AND SINGING Birds
That there is something more than com

company of innocent birds. may be con-
sidered proven. No wonder, then, that
so many of our innocent young maidens
God bless them take delight in su-
perintending the extension of 80 interest,"
ing a race, as the canary, bird whom
all must love that know his excellencies.
We rejoice to see young ladies thus ra-
tionally engaged. Their many prepara-
tions in the way of cages, nest boxes,
nest-bags, the proper selection of amia-
bic birds, etc, etc.-all these fill up their
time very pleasantly. Well can we I'M
derstand the delight they feel in their
anticipation of soon being able to ''as-
sist" the happy parents in rearing their
expected little families. 1t is gratifying
very. And how infinitely better than

'that in the event he shall still continue

ERRORS OF THE PRESS.

Reader did you know that every COL
umn of newspaper contained from ten
to twenty thousand distinct pieces of
metal, the misplacing of any of which
would cause blunder or typographical
error? With this curious fact before
you, don't you wonder at the general
accuracy of newspapers? Knowing this
TO be the fact you will be more dis
posed, we hope, to excuse than magnify
errors of the press. f-

RECoGNITIoN IN HEAvEN.-I must con-
fess, as the experience of my own soul,
that the expectation of loving my friends
in heaven principally kindles my love to
them while on earth. If thought l
should never know them, and conse-
quently never love them after this life is
ended, should number them with tenn
poral things, and love them rs such; but

absent, believing that 1 shall shortly
meet them in heaven, and love them with
a heavenly love.-Barter.

LADIES COLUMN.

FEMALE CULTURE.-A great deal is
said in favor of the social nature of the
fine arts. Music gives pleasure to 9TH
ers. Drawing is an art the amusement
of which does not center in him who ex-
ercises it, but is diffused among the rest
of the world. This is true; but there is
nothing, after all, so social as a cultiva-
ted mind. We do not mean to speak
slightingly of the fine arts, or 10 depre-
ciate the good humor with which they
are sometimes exhibited; but we appeal
to any man, whether little spirited and
sensible conversation-displaying mod
estly useful acquirements-and evincing
rational curiosity. is not well worth the
highest exertions of musical or graphical
skill. A woman of accomplishments
may entertain those who have the pleas
ure of knowing her for half an hour with
great brilliancy but a mind full Of
ideas, and with that elastic spring which
the love of knowledge only can convey,
is perpetual source of exhilaration and
amusement, to all that come within its
reach; not collecting its force into single
and insulated achievements, Ike the eff
forts made in the fine arts, but diffusing
equally over the whole of existence, a
calmpleasure-better loved asst is longer
felt--and suitable to every period of life
Therefore, instead of hanging the under
standing of woman upon walls, or hear
ing it vibrate upon strings--instead of
seeing it in the clouds, or hearing it in
the wind, We would make it the first
spring and ornament of society, by en-
riching it with attainments upon which
alone such power depends.

INDUSTRY AND ITS BLEssINGs.-People
may tell you of your being unfit for some
peculiar occupation in life, but heed them
not. Whatever employment you follow
with perseverance and assiduity will be
found fit for yon; it will be your sup
port in youth and comfort in age. In
learning the useful part of any profes-
sion, very moderate abilities will suffice;
great abilities are generally injurious to
the possessors. Life has been compared
to race, but the allusion still improves
by observing that the most swift are ever
the most apt to stray from the course.

We can't afford, in these dull times, to
spoil a joke for acquaintance sake. The
Buffalo Republic gives the following as
an extract from the speech of political
orator in New York-"And, my fellow
citizens, people may say what they please,
but I say, that, search the American
party through and through, and through
again, and yoa can Z Jffnd another as decent
a man as NaiGrd Fillmore r. The elo-
quent speaker here paused for the ap-
plaused to come in but the audience
seemed to think that the last remark was
rather severe, and maintained profound
silence, during which the speaker subsi
ded and stepped out.

on, death must soon count me as one of lis vic.
