A BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE BRIEFLY ToLD-The
most common and attractive manifestation Of
consistency of character proceed from those
natures in whom the affections are dominant
A striking example, replete with that psthos
which 'lies too deep for utterance", Is found in
the story, chronicled by John of Brompton. OF
the mother Of Thos. A. Beckett. Her father,
Gilbert A. Beckett, was taken prisoner during
one of the Orusades by Syrian Emir, and held
q considerable period in kind of honorable cap.
tivity. A daughter of the Emir saw him at her
fathers table, heard him converse, fell In love
with him, and offered to arrange the means by
which both might escape to Europe. The pro.
ect only partly succeeded he escaped, but she
contriyed to elude her attendants, and after
many marvellous adventures both by sea and
by land, knowing but two English words, lion
dom and "Gilbert" By constantly repeating
the first, she was directed to the city and there.
followed by mob, she walked from street to
street, crying as she went, "Gilbert !" "Gibert!"
She at length came to the street 10 which her
lover lived ; the mob and the name attracted the
attention of servant in the house; Gilbert rec !
og1ized her and they were married. We doubt
if any poet, if even Cbaucer, imaginative as he.
was, ever conceived sentiment in form SO vi
tai and primary as is realized in this fact.

us with all its persuasive realtiesl Take but
one little narrow space of time, and how affect
ing are its associations! Within the fight of
one half century, how many of the great. the
good and the wise will be gathered here :.
How many, in the lovelness of infancy, the
beauty of youth, the vigor of manhood, and
the maturity of age, will lie down here, and
dwell in the bosom of their mother earth The
rich and the poor, the gay and the wretched,
the favorites of thousands, and the forsaken Of
the world. the stranger in his solitary grave,
and the patriarch surrounded by the kindred Of
long lineagel How many will here bury
their brightest hopes or blasted expectations!-
How many bitter tears will be shed How
many agonizing sighs will here be heaved =
How many trembling feet will cross the path
ways, and, returning, leave behind them the
dearest objects of their reverence or their love
