Romance in Real | life.

Something like six weeks since, there
arrived i'll this city young man named
Geo. I. Eve, who brought with him his re-
puted wife, beautiful mulatto woman. and
three children, and whom we believe he
claims the pt ternity. The woman is near
| ly white. and the children SO white that
they would not be thought otherwise By
any one not converzant with their origin.
Their previous history partakes strongly
of the romantic. They were, it seems, for
merly residents of Rome, Randolph county,
Ca, and she slave when he first became
acquainted with her. A short acquaintance
ripened into what they called love, but his
relatives termed it infatustion. For long
time every effort was made by his friends
to overcome his affection for her, but in
vain, ahd at last all but his father consent
ed to their marriage He accordingly
bought her at the extraordinary price of
$1,000, married her, and they came North
together:
Upon his arrival here he commenced the
practice of medicine, his office ard dwelling
rooms being at the same place, No. 2s4,
South Clark street. Though young and
unknown, yet he might ultimately have
succeeded, more especially as be had some
S25 900 or $4,000 worth OF property in
his own right, left him by his grandparents
upon which be might have lived with econ
cmy, until he could build himself up rep
u'ation.
But on Wednesday last he received a
line through the Post Office, stating that
if he would call at room No. 81, fremont
House, he would there find an old acfuain-
tance. He went, and 10 his mfr ite surprise ;
stood face to face with his own father. A
long conversation ensued, and finally he
was told that he must return with him

which were INCREASINGLY given mp. The
officer then opened the trunk, took out all
the money he had, (sone $500 in gold,
which remaiHed of about 81 900 with which
he left the South,) packed up few Of his
clothes, and ere his friends n the city knew
aught of the aff'ir, the entire party were
or the train and far of on their way South
ward, leaving his wife penniIess, a stranger
among strangers, with helpless family on
her hands. We learn from her that his
father. DIR. P Eve, is Professor Of Anat-
omy and Physiology in some college in
Nashville. Tenn, and that he had probably
taken him thither.

The Ocean and the Mountains.

One of the prettiest conceits and mos

mountains, we find among DR.. Holmes
paragraphs in his inimitable "Autocrat O

The New Democratic Issue.

Forney's Press, of Monday agair shows
up the iniqui,y of the English Bill, which
is the cornerstone of Democracy in Ohio.
Douglas himself has lately expressed sim
liar views, and his friends in this State,
who are now without an organ, will be
glad to see what opinion is entertained of
the measure by Douglas men elsewhere
The Press says.
"The English Bill which was substituted
for Lecompton "pure and simple" is an ex-
peGient which only aggravates the injustice
originally contemplated. 1t provides that, be-
cause the people Of Kansas would not sub
NIT to the outrage of having Constitution
imposed upon them against their will, they
must be punished for their contumacy by
being kept out of the Urion. Because they
would not tamely acquie,ce in the infliction
of one wrong. another is TO be meeted
out to them. The highway robbers of Mex
leo make it a rule that if a traveller peacea-
bly, submits to the plunder of his pockets.
he is in other respects treated as gentle
man, but if he resists the robbery he is
murdered. Tne English Bill Kansas policy
is based upon principle equally just and
humane Ii is worse than idle--it is wicked
foolish, and unjust-to persist in a course
founded on such an idea. When the people
OF Kansas peaceaby and honestly form an
other Constitution, have it ratified at the
polls. and ask admission into the Union
unGer 1t, woe to the man who by a blind ad
herance TO the English fnali,y may endeavor
for attempting to drag Kansas into the
Union as a slave State, with Constitution
obnoxious to her people. to add 20 the
measure of their injustice by voting against
her adm mission as free State, under q Con-
s,itution ratified anu approved by her people.
They will be dou5ly condemned BY their
outraged constituencies, and fall from the
high stations they have -disgruced, 'like
Luciler, never to rise again.'
OF course, every regular Democratic can
didate for Congressman in this State, occu-
pies precisely the odicus position thus de-
nounced. Only formal and express re-
pudiation of the Columbus Democratic plat
form can relieve any candidate from this
load. This new issue car not be sustained
in a single District OF this State. No can
dijate must be allowed to evade this ques-
tion. He must come out openly, explicitly,
and above board, for or against the admis-
sion of Kansas as a Free State. without re-
gurd to her population according TO legal
census. Gin. Gd-.

incidents of the day: ifs

his wildcat bills in row down the centre
OF the street. When they were thus dis

Appeal to a Bachelor.


Dear Charles, be persuaded to wed,
For sensible fellow like you,
Irsbright time to think of q bed.
And mullins and coffee for two;
So have done with your doubts and delaying
With soul 80 adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying
'Tis singular You should be single.
Don't say you haven't got time
That business demands your attention,
There is not the least reason or rhyme
In the wisest excuse you can mention,
Don't tell me about ''other fish,
Your duty is done when you buy 'em:
And you never will relish the dish,
Unless you've woman to fry 'em- 80
You may dream Of political fame
Bu, your wishes may chance to miscary
The best way OF sending ones name
To posterity. Charles, is to marry!
And here am willing to own,
After soberly thinking about it,
I'D very much rather be known
By a beautiful son than sonnet.
Then, Charles, bid doubling good bye,
And dismiss all fantastic alarms,
I'll be bound you've girl in your eye,
'1'is your duty to have one your arms.
Some trim little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure eyed elf;
With virtues and graces in plenty,
And no failing but loving yourself.
Don't search for an angels minute
For, granting you win the sequel,
No JOY, after all would be in it,
With union so very unequal;
The angels, il must be confessed,
In this world are rather uncommon:
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You'll be better content with a woman.
Then, there's the economy dear,
By poetical algebra shown
l { your wife has a grief or tear,
One-half, by the laws, is your own;
And as to the joys BY division,
They're nearly qualrupl ed, It's said
