Romantic Affair,

A correspondent of the Baltimore Clip
per, writing from Philadelphia, says; J
Quite romantic affair occurred in the
western part of the city last week The
facts are these; Mrs. B, "a hand
some and rich widow and the mother of
a pretty daughter of Is summers, by
some means became acquainted with
young carpenter, who although fine
looking man, was 10 rather poor circum.
stances. The carpenter visited the lady's
residence, very frequently gallanted her
10 church, The theatres &c., scarcely ever
paying marked attention to the daughter
who accompanied them. Madame Rumor,
with her thousand tongues, soon noised
itabout that the carpenter and the widow
we're about to be made one, and his
friends congratulated him on the prospec'
he had on SO soon being able to "has
up his hat" The widow, too, was coi- -
plincn,ed by her acquaintances and inAct
she began to think that the thing wuld
yet take place, although the carsnter

With the craft naturally possessed by

gallant at his next interview and from
this hint he took it for gransd that she

he certainly did. and atonished her too,
for next morning " eloped with the
daughter! This setall the gossips in'.he
neighborhood goilg, and they one al and
all pronounced I "scandalous." The
girls mother, being woman Of sense,
takes it philosophically, and has forgiven
the young people, who are now domiciled
at the family residence. She gives her
daughter credit for the shrewdness the
latter exhibited in her courting, and also

to all Il chance for the prizes of life, and
thus encouraging every one to try his speed
in the race. is no doubt spur to the char

thousand good REASONS, il we value health
and happiness, why we should pursue other
and hi. CHER objects. When The pursuit OF
wealth is the great purpose oflife in so rapid,
ly a progressive state of material prosperity
rs exists in our commercial communities
it requires exclusive devotion and the high
est strain Of the faculties to succeed. a
fair competence, however, is easily reached ;
and if we had learned to care for better
things, we should not strive f,r more.
