"A TRUE LOVE STORY.

The New Orleans Crescent tells the
following little love episode which dc.
serves more than a passing notice:
~.Some fifteen or sixteen years ago, in
the Faderland, young man named
Hing and girl named Weenn, loved
each other very hard and wanted to mar
ry. A tightness in the money market,
however, forbade the banns; so, after
considering the matter, the lover kissed
bis Weetheart, swore a true lovers oath
to come back and marry her in good
time, and come to the United States to
seek his fortune.
He worked like a good fellow, and
prospered and after saving up a good
sum he flew back on the wings of love to
Germany. But terrible disappoint-
ment awaited him. His intended bride
was gone
She had not taken cold poison" or
eloped with tinker; but weary of her
lover long absence. and despairing of
his return, she had, like the brave little
sweetheart that she was, set out for the
United States, determined to find him,
and enter into that united state which is
El Dorado of all true lovers. l $40.
So the young man came back to this
country. ON the paddle-wheels of love,
and with the additional ceerily which
the screw propeller Of anxious suspense
always imparts. He sought his fair one
everywhere many journeys he took and
much money and sleep he lost, but all
to no purpose. And he gave up his
Christine as forever lost to him.
He came to New Orleans and Time,
after cooling and pctrifying the lava-cur-
rent of his first love, INTRODUCED him to a
fraulien, as fair and sweet, perhaps, as
the lost Christine. He married her, and
they went to Texas, where they settled
and were happy. Old Time continued
TO trundle the years around. Two fine
children blessed the union, but a sad
event followed in the death of the wife
ana mother. Ever since then, or until
recently, the widower remained there,
prosecuting his business and taking care
of his children.
Some weeks ago he came to this city
on business, and whilst here, found it
necessary to 90 to Cincinnati. He went
there, to stop few days. One night,
whilst he was. returning to his lodging
from some place of amusement, he was
alarmed by female screams not far off.
He ran, with others, to discover to cause,
and found that the screams proceeded
from girl about eight years old, lying
helpless on the banquelte. She was bad
ly but not dangerously hurt; and in re-
ply to the questions of the crowd stated
that her uncle, with whom she was living,
had come home drunk and violent caus-
ing her, in her anxiety to avoid him, to
fall out at the window.
AS she was German girl, the widow
er Hing naturally felt interested in her,
and piled her with all sorts ofqnestions, as
to her parentage, circumstances, &c.-
She told him, among other things, that
her mothers first name was Christine.-
That aroused an old memory, and stipu-
lated fresh inquiry The girl gave such
information, finally, as to leave no doubt
in Iing's mind that her mother was his
own long lost sweetheart his first love
She had been for some years widow,
and was living dependent upon the chari-
ty of her deceased husbands brother, on
a farm ten miles out in the country.
Next morning ling took the little girl
out there, and was by her introduced to
her mqher. The recognition was mntu-
al and instantaneous. OF course, there
was scene--all sorts OF a scene. The
old petrifcation of first love melted on
both sides. The widow told her story.
1t was good counterpart to that of the
widower. She had searched and 6es-
paired, and sought consolation in marri-
age with another Time had made her
mother to one child, and left her wild
ow.
The lovers seemed to have met by
Providential direction, and were young
again, and ineffably happy. OF course,
the rest may be anticipated. The couple
reached this city a few days ago, having
married during the passage down the
riyer-the little girl, of course, being
along and put of by the earliest con
yeyance to Texas. se'
