/ On looking iuto the state Of her affair,
however, the young gentleman was in
formed to his great surprise, that there
was mortgage on the estate that woulC
swallow up the whole
Whew |" the fortune seeker eiied-
a mortgage, a mortgage, faith Tha
gites different hue to the scenei''
| His cgnntenanee his love died within
him his beautiful Mary lost all her
charms the flower faded away no lon
ger did it emit any fragrance.
And what was to be done2 The wed
ding was hourly expected the delay was
occasfoned only by the negligence Of the
preacher.
But IL the telegraph wires relieved
our young hero. He receives despatch
that his mother Is dying, aud that he must
hasten home instantly if he would see her
alive.
Alas for Mary Her beauideal flies
he must go he flies And who can pity
her now2 The neighbors? No! Her
friends Not one, save she who remon.
strated with her in favor of the mechanic.
Indeed her sympathy was that only OF a
friend who stieketh closer than brother
She pitied her much, and condemned her
more for losing the golden opportunity
OF marrying the one who could have ren
dered her happy through life, and perhaps
prospectively so, beyond the grave.
Of course young Hoppin was never
heard of again. He was disappointed III
his expectation of a fortune. He had
heard that Mary Atwill was very rich.--
w hen he found that she was not his love
ceased, and he had no motive to return.
In the meantime William Randall had
become quite distinguished man. His
sphere in life, consequently, was greatly
enlarged, and included men of influence
aud talent. As a politician he was very
popular, and rose from one Office to an-
other until be reached the United States
Senate.
N0r did he remain unmarried. DC
sought a partner of intelligence and inRu
ence, and forgetting the history Of his
irst love, devoted his affections to the
more recent object of his choice. and is
now passing this life happily in her sosi-
ETY. being favored with lovely and in.
teresting train Of sons and daughters
worthy of their parental name.
AS to the unfortunate Mary, we have
only to add that she afterwards married
If indeed that is marriage where the
hand is given without the heart-and that
she contesses, with bitter tears of regret
that she lost the golden opportunity IL
the rejection OF the only one that truly
loved her, the unfortunate mechanic.
And in conclusion, We hope the reader
may not think it NAL apropos that we
express the wish that he may not lose his
golden opportunity, aud especially that
more important one which, if lost, in.
wolves not only his happiness in this life:
but in the life to come.

Singular Incident-Sudden Death.

On Tuesday last, a woman by the name u
Mrs. Culbertson, accompanied by her tw"
children, one four years of age, the other a
baby in her arms. arrived in Covington, from
Illinois, on a visit to her mother, u Mrs.
Coppers, who resides ON Fifth street. When
she entered her mothers house, she was ap-
parently in the enjoyment of good health,
but she was taken suddenly i'll, and died in
less than ten minutes. When she was dis
covered to be sinking into the arms of death,
her mother, who is poor woman, exclaimed,
MY daughter, you are not going to die, and
leave me alone with these children" Where
upon, she replied, "Oh no, mother, I'm only
going in n trance. in which ! shall probably
remain three days. when | shall return to
YOU again :" and then closed her eyes in
death. On the proper examination, it was
ascertained that she died of CONGESTION of the
lungs. Mrs. Coppers, believing that her
daughter actually was in a trance, and that
she would revive at the conclusion Of the
time she named, would not allow the body
to be buried until the following Thursday,
when modification compelled her to allow
the funeral ceremonies to be performed. 1t
was, indeed, a singular, as well as as Il most
melancholy affair. Cincinnati Eng.

ishing. az far a. possible. the evils which

clared in 1881 should be re-afirmed. and such
amendment be made to the act of that year
a. will give to it active force and certain
operation, and as will either prohibit eman-
clpatlun altogether or cOnlpel Il prompt I''ii'-

The Democracy Of Butler county, Ohio,

purpose Of considering the present condition
of the party, and appointing delegates to the
State Convention. The attendance was large
and enthusiastic. a series of resolutions
was adopted, from which We take the follow
ing:
Resolved, That we regard with undis-
sembled Indignation and alarm, Ms attempt
10 m"t7ate or nbridgc he great principie ct
P1p"iar Sovereignty and nom-tnt,,r""to"-
that we maintain with mistaken frmness
the doctrine that the power othe peopie ct0
Territory with respect TO domeSfic isgistat'on,
IS as pienory asMm IF a !State, and stamp
as unsound the theory which limits the right
of the people of a Territory to act in refer
ence to the institution Of Slavery to the one
particular time when they come ito organize
their State government
Now, here is open, ayowed, and undis-
guised Squatter Sovereignty-a doctrine

Letter from WashinRtou.

WASHINGTON. June 8, Standardization
has reached here of active and suspicious
movements of the Mexican rsactiOnists in one
of the Southern States. 1t is said they had
chartered the schooner Virginia Antoinette.
ut New Orleans, to carry arms and ammu-
milton aud about forty to fifty reactionists on
the 10th ult.. for one of the unfrequented
harbors Oh the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is said the
leader is an old Santa Annaist. There
appeared some difficulty in the way, when
another turn was given u these movements.
The whole party suddenly left New Orleans
for Mobile, from whence il is understood
another vessel is To take them, with an addi-
tlonal number Of persons, to pronounce in
favor of Santa Anna. Ii is also said that the
last steamer from Havana brought money for
the expedition.
The friends Of Lord Napier in Washington
have received letters from him, in which he
speaks OF the friendly disposition Of the
British government towards this country,
and says the conduct of Sir William Gore
Ouseley. IL the matter Of the treaty with
Nicaragua, was disapproyed without heslta-
ton, the moment the government was in
formed of what he had done. Lord Napier
had been presented t" the Queen, when her
Majesty conyer,ed with him some time about
the United States. He had dined, in compa,
ny with Mr.. Dallas, with Lord Malmesbury.
1t is rumored here that Lord Napier is going
to the Hague for a special purpose, with
reference TO another royal marriage, and
thar afterwards he will have a more impOr-
tant post.
1t is known that the French government
have secret agents now employed purchasing
and contracting for ships and munitions Of
war of various kinds. Some heavy contracts
have already been made with leading estab-
lishments engaged in the manufacture OF
such material, to be delivered at the earliest
practical moment
A~despatch from 81. Louis, from the special
bearer of dispatches who had just arrived
there with dispatches from Governor Cumm-
ing, states that the Mormon difficulty was in
a fair way Of an amicable and satisfactory

We call the attention of the Commission.
ers who conducted the election Of State officers
on the nth Thursday of May, to the following

dred dollars, to be recovered, on motion, by
the Attorney General, in the Circuit Court
of Richmond city. in the name Of the Com
monwealth.' Acts 1878, p. q and23.l
Ii will be seen, also, that in the election

Public Works, the Governor, Secretary Of the
Commonwealth and the Auditor of Public
Accounts are required To proceed within thir-
ty days after heday Of election to open the re-
turns, count the vote and determine who

AL~ynchburg paper has a leaderon the point
whether the South would have been injured
ifGoggin had been elected. The following
would have been some of the consequences
of his success at Knoxville, Tennessee, under
the lead and adviceo of Brownlow. They inten-
ded $50 pull up trees, tear down houses,
march in procession, and get on II general
bust" If there is not some auti-climax about
this marching I'm procession and getting
IN bust" these must be rather extensive per
formances out there. In Richmond, howev-
er the consequences would have been still
more prodigious. 1t was proposed that a tai
bic be spread from one end of Main 81. 10 the
other, "a distance of about four miles laden
with choice edibles and fluids, and that every
man in Virginia who voted for Goggin be
invited to partake. 1t was also suggested
that at every eighth of mile on Main street
a stand be erected, TO contain a hand ofmusic
and three orators.-B0H. FrchcHyc.
