ROMANCE VS.. REALIry-A Nav Yorl, oor-
respondent writes as follows concerning the
couple who attracted considerable attention
two years ago:
You remember the story about "Jobn
Dean and his Mary Ann (Boker.) Poor girl /
her romance is converted into miserable
reality. He. as l stated some time since is a
marker in the Custom House, and they now
occupy the second story of q house over
corner grocery, on Second and South Third
streets, Williamsburg, surrounded by tumble
down shantes and beggary looking tene-
ment houses. The only sign of refinement
IN the apartment is piano, which the young
lady continually strums upon. to the great
annoyance of her neighbors-for truth to say
she is by no means a Thalberg. What a
warning this should be to susceptible young
ladies.

A SMART Fox-oR ToUGH SroRY.-In q
recent lecture upon the subject of his expert.
ence in Arctic life Dr. Rae said.
On the journey saw very curious in
stance of the sagacity of the Arctic fox Con-
scious that | was aiming at him, he cooked
up his ears, and endeavored to make himself
look as much as possible like a hare, (Which
is an animal comparatively worthless) An
other fact of this kind occurred to me- Whilst
being detained at a particular place, our fs-
vorite amusement was trapping wild animals
Our mode of doing this was by spring gun
connected with the bait, which, when touch.
ed, produced the explosion One instance
showed us that fox, either from observation
of companions fate, or from hard earned
experience, had gone up to the gun, bit off
theicord connected with the bait,' and, the
danger being averted, went and ate the
meat in undisturbed comfort And it is a
common occurrence for the fox to make
trench up to the bait, seize it, aud calmly
permit the charge to pass harmless over his
head.

The Hon. ALEX. II. III. STUART AND Mr.

tween Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Skinner in 1857
Mr.. Stuart remarked "that he did not wish
Mr.. Skinner to be the State Senator from
this district, for Mr.. Leteher would most
probably resign his place in Congress, and
he thought his young friend eminently quail
fled to gil his vacant slippers. and that he
(Mr. Stuart) would take great pleasure il
voting for and advocating him for that ex-
allied position" M l 3
This is high compliment, consideria g
the distinguished parsonage from. which il
eminated. We thankfully accept Mr.. Stu
arts aid. and we believe it a favorable omen
that the conservative part Of the Wing par
ty are unwilling to bow SO low to the die

Letcher after Geggin with Long Pole.

1t was very sharp stroke of policy, that
Of Goggin's, in coming over here into the
very stronghold Of Democracy, the glorious
old Tenth Legion, so anxious (such was tho
idea he was endeavoring to hold out) was
be to meet the opponent who has been Civ
ing him such unmerciful drnbbinss hereto
fore on the stump, and who is to crush him
completely out on the 4th Thursday in May,
next, but unfortunately for the ''man Of
many sorrows" this stroke of policy like
everything else which has eminated from
that bewildered brain, has proved total
failure The idea was for poor Goggin to
show a, violent desire to canvass the State
with Mr.. Letcher-he was even to come
over into the Tenth Legion, and to accom-
pany the champion of Democracy over
good part Of the West, and then to turn tale
and run to eastern Virginia, bowling into the
ears of the people there that Letcher dared
not meet him on the stump and face the ''in-
suited and outraged people Of the East. -
But alas, the martyred Goggin is refused
the crown of martyrdom after struggling
through his long and weary pilgrimage in
the West, he reaches the promised land in
the East, but oh, horror, Letcher, the evil
genius who pursued him with such bitter
hostility while in this "vale of tears" is
still by his side ready with the rack and
the torture. af''Haa f"#
We are happy to inform our friends that
Mr.. Letcher still hold on to poor Goggin
and will continue to do 50 ''until it thun-
ders," or 'till the COWS come home" or
until, what is much less remarkable event.
Mr. Goggin retires into the shades Of private
life, at his little farm in Bedford, Of which
he spoke 50 feelingly here in Stanton, and
which we suppose grows more and more de-
lightful to the view as he draws nearer to
