sister of one of our common c6uncilmen, was
walking up Broadway. New York. when she at
tracted the attention of an elderly gentleman of
large wealth, who had lived all his life bache-
or and an ascetic. Rumor says that he was foiled
in an a6aire dn eGur, and carried thenceforth
in his breast heart impenetrable to the sweet
influences of the tender passion. Well.this gen

Irish girl to such decree that he arrested his
steps and venured to address her.
'Wi you pardon the liberty, Miss, if ask

i he girl timiLly surveyed him, and apparently
satisfied that no curiosity prompted him in the
query aud that he was II gentleman she acce

"Dnre ask you another question, Mary
Miss OK"
"Proceed, sir" she replied good humoredy.
"Then should like to ask you-and you will
oonfer an infinite litigation upon me by answer
ing truly-whther you are engaged in marriage
to any Que, or whether you feelings are interest
ed Ia any person whatever!
The question was decidedly Il home che. but
there was so kind and gentle an expression in the
old mans eye, and such an evident earnostnoss

"Not in the least sir"
"fhen allow M without any further ceremo-
ny, TO place my card in your hand, and with it
the offer of myself aud fortune COMM sson

called at the hotel where her admirer resided.an
informed bin that Mary had concluded to accept
him. They were married the same evening at
the residence of the brides mother, and the old

more than S200000.

He observes "A great effort is being made TO per
snade the Southern Wings thai Fillmore is not avail
able, and that they should support Buchanan, for
fear OF the election Of Black Republican. Why
may not the fear be expressed thai Buchanan is not
available, and, therefore, that voting for him may
elect n Black Republican, II Is thought by many
that Mr.. Fillmore is stronger in New York, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio than Mr.. Buchanan There Is strong
probability that Mr. Fillmore viii get Maryland Del
aware, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Flor-
dn Indiana, Alabama, and he has equal chances for
n number Of other States. AT this time no one can
say that Mr.. Fillmore is not stronger than any other
candidate and should the old Wings support him
generally there is no doubt OF his election again
ask why they should not do so2 Let them not be
frightened by the cry that unless they support the
Democratic nominee, Fremont and Dayton viii be
