Romance of .he Lnst island Calamity.

In the midst Of the thick gloom, the storm, the
confusion and terror of the scene the gentleman be-
came separated FROM his little family and barely es-
capped with his life. The horror and distress Of
the poor nan at the sudden loss of his dear ones
may be imagined by those who love their own wives
and children. For several days bis friends feared
that his mental sufering5 would deprive him Of rea-
son, sul oRs of them Rndly invited him 10 make
his home at bis house in New Orleans, for a time,
hoping that he Eould gradually come u look more
calmly upon the misfortune that had b5fajiel him.
Il happened that with the family in which be
thus became domesiicated was Iiyng young and
accomplished lady, Of fine person snl mauuers
Who having compassion upon the afflicted stranger
took upon herself the pIous daily Of doing every-
thing in her power to alleviate his sa1rOWs ard
