A SAD SToRY-We have had related to
us the particulars of truly sad and touching
story-which constitute what is commonly
termed Romance in Real Life" 1t is
such as are continually happening, however,
though unnoticed by those not conversant with
the circumstances The rest of the world,
with its gaiety, and hustle, and selfish pur-
suits, move on in wonted eagerness, shifting
and changing
Reckless that in its change
heart is breaking or has broken!'
The circumstances of the "ower true tale"
are about as follows Sometime in the Fall, a
young man from the East came to Minnesota
in poor health, intending to remain this Win
ter for his health, hoping to. return East next
Spring restored, to wed an estimable young
lady to whom he was betrothed. But his
hopes proved deceptive. There was no relief
for him, even in our healihful climate, and he
gradually grew weaker and weaker. Some
days since he expressed desire to once more
see her to whom mis- faith and love had been
pledged, and the kind friends with whom he
was living wrote to the young lady stating the
request. Sorrowfully, but firmly she COM
piled with it, and alone, in the dead Of winter,
she journeyed over thousand miles to once
more meet her betrothed.
But they were not destined to meet again
in this world. A few days since the young
man passed away, breathing her name among
his last words The kind friends with whom
he had lived, carefully coffined the remains,
and consigned them to the care Of the Express
Company, to be sent to his home in the East.
1t was but a day or two after this, that the
brave girl arrived here at the Fuller House,
and Immediately sent for the. friends of her
betrothed, only to learn the sad and crushing
news. When the first paroxysm of her grief,
which was terrible in its intensity, had subsi-
ded, the heartbroken girl ordered a special
conveyance, and without rest or refreshment
scarcely, journeyed back alone to overtake
the remains of the deceased, and accompany
them to their last resting place, the saddest
mourner of the many who will assist in that
duty.
ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE SToRY.-We
gave our readers on Saturday the particu-
lars, just as they occurred-and, without any
fictitious coloring of the visit of young lady
to our city to see her bethrothed once more
before his death, but arriving too late to see
him, her hasty return journey to overtake the
remains which had been sent off East, for
Sculpture. Some wise ones have declared
the affecting incident to be a romance but
being conversant with the facts, we know our
account to be entirely true. The sequel, also,
exhibits one of those seldom occurring traits of
heroic and noble love and affection which we
are glad to be able to hold up for admi-
ration.
The young lady, as we related, immediate
ly engaged special conveyance, and gen.
tlenan of the city touched by the circum-
stances volunteered to accompany her on
lonely journey down. The trip to the Red
Wing, sixty miles on the ice, was made in
less than four hours and changing teams
there, the brave girl and her attendant kept
on, and overlook the Express at Wabashaw
at three O'Clock in the morning. Here, at
sight OF the remains, the mental strength of
this true heroine, gave way and the scene was
heart-rendnG one. But in company with
the brother and sister-in-law of deceased. she
continued the sad journey Eastward. a more
than widowed woman.
