THE STORY OF PERCTvALs LovE-The story

ment has been made public. but the true version
never given. From gentleman who was at Yale
College at the time, and knew the history of the
affair, we have learned it, and may be permitted
to refer toit
Percival had class mate named Smith. They
both fell in love with lady of great beauty and
mental and moral endowments-a fit woman to
receive the worship of the young poet But Per
cival was poor and Smith was ealthy, and SO the
fortune of the race for favor turned against the
poet Mr.. S. won the fair lady In q moment Per
civars whole character underwent . change he
became taciturn and quite reclusc, plungng into
study with most wonderful application. From
that time date his great requirements. No science
too abstruse-no language too removed that he did
not conquer. In time he became noted for his
mental acquisitions, and his habits of seclu-
sion became confirmed. But there was want
ing the one steady aim the high hope and
manly force that ever come to the noble soul at
peace with ITSELF and so his bark drifted on and
never reaching any coveted harbor where peace
whispered its soothing to his aching sense
What became of the lady our lady readers OF
course ask. She settled down in Hartford, became
the model mother of six children, and yet lives
there, we believe, loved and admired by all that
know her.-SandHsky Register.
