Romance in Real Life.


The Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal says that
a man living near there lost his wife
some years ago in Homer, New York
that they had little girl which he gave
to friend, and left the country. He
was gone ten years, and returned, but
could find no trace of his child. She had
two marks by which he might know her
One toe was gone, and she had scar
on her arm. The man gave her up as
lost to him, and finally settled near Buoy
rus and married The rest We give from
that paper ::
About six weeks ago he happened to
pass by the room in his house occupied by
a servant girl, who had resided with him
for nearly two years, at time when she
was about to retire, and, the door being
open, he saw her foot. He merely glanced
at it, and happened to notice that the 1t.
tie toe Of the right t1o, pas missing. He
thought nothing of it at the time, but af.
ter retiring the idea struck him that it
might be the daughter he had searched
for SO long. At first he dismissed the
thought as improbable, but it still forced
his wife to go to the room and ascertain
whether or not marks Of scald were upon
her right arm.
She went, and, to his immense delight,
reported that the mark was there. The
poor man was so positive of her identity,
that the girl was awakened, and in the
middle of the night was questioned as to
her origin. She could only tell them that
she did not know her parents, that her
earliest recollec.ions we're that she had
lived somewhere in the East, with fam.
lily named-(naming the family she had
been left with by the woman originally in
trusted with her, and at their death she
was taken charge of by the overseer Of
the poor, place provided for her, aad
she had come to Bucyrus with a family,
and had supported herself by doing house.
work since. This tailed SO nearl y with
the already asccrtaired facts in the case
that the next day the father started east
with her, and visiting the different points
she had named, ascertained, to his great
ioy, that she was in truth his daughter.
She is an extremely beautiful girl, of
great natural intelligence, and, though to-
tally uneducated, is still interesting. She
is now at Granville, Ohio, receiving an
education, to fit her for the new station
she has assumed in life"

The Weather.

May has had its usual prevalence Of
cold, sour, easterly weather, and, to all
people Of short memories, has seemed the
most vet and nasty Of all Mays upon rec
ord But, fortunately, there are records
of the weather. Kindred spirits with the
philosopher of Brooklyn Heights make
note OF the passing changes, and hand
down to posterity the tables. The BIOS
soming of peach, cherry, and apple trees,
is put down in many an almanac in the
farmers home. Frequently, the apple
has not bloomed until the 25th Of May,
and occasionally not until June lst, in
this latitude. The season is rather more
than an average for its earliuess. 1t has
been wet during the month But it
should not be forgotten, that May Of 1857
had twenty-One dark, cloudy days, with
more or less Of rain. Many seeds have
probably rotted, and the usual amount Of
objurgation has been bestowed upon the
worms on that account. 1t is not yet too
late to plant many of the field and garden
seeds second time Cucumbers, melons,
squashes, and sweet corn make nearly all
their growth after June 1st.
Corn fails to come up from poor seed,
and from too early planting, oftener than
from all other causes combined. In pla-
ces north Of this latitude, June lst is as
good as any earlier date. One of the pre-
MUM corn growers of Connecticut plants
uniformly June 9th, or as near that date
as possible. He never fails to grow
good crop, and at much less cost than the
market price per bushel.-4meriican A9-

had pleasant journey and no accidents

to Pittsburg; thence by steamboat, l175
miles, TO ST. Louis. The Ohio aud Mis-

progress, coming l5 miles per hour down
the former, but not more than six up the
latter. All this time we kept our freight
with us,except that our wagons and horses
came across the country from Lewisburg
to Pittsburg, reaching there the same day
that We did There was about eight tons
of freight belonging to our party. In
crossing the Allegheny mountains, vegeta-
ton was scarcely started, but when we
reached Cairo, the mouth of the Ohio, the
leaves upon the forest trees were nearly
full grown. At St. Louis, We shipped by
the Iron Mountain Railroad, 81 miles
nearly South, and thence by wagons to
this point-a scattered country village,
containing > stores. most office. , smith

of limestone water running through it,and
fine springs everywhere. The country is
quite rolling, ,abounding with lead aud iron;
it is a tmberei country, aud no doubt
with good farming will produce good crops
of wheat, corn, rye, oats, potatoes, grass,

healthy here, and have leased an old farm

made our garden, are about to put in corn
