A Tale of Unreeuited Love.


The editor of the Eureka Union relates as fol-
lows how he once got in love and ssgot the nit
ten." rr,t9 X ,,-s.-sser
We were never, kind reader, desperate in
love" but once, and that was with a red-no.
authenticated girl, with freckled complexion,
who had but few pretentions to beauty; but
then she had such really beautiful eyes, deep
liquid orbs through which her soul in moments
of tenderness, looked out in passionate fervor,
and in joyous mirth dashed and sparkled with
the light of a thousand dew drops-diamonds,
we were going to say-but we never saw q
thousand diamonds. Her name was Laura
which, when breathed softly by very soft
lover, is very sweet name-and her clear ring
ing laugh fell around you like q shower of silver
bells. Moreover, she wore dark, wine-colored
dress trimmed with lilac-colored velvet and black
fringe with neat little white collar of fine lace.
which is the prettiest of all dresses, and has the
effect to make very plain girl look absolutely
charming. She never perforated her ears, to
hang thereby a pendulum of glass or brass, and
the only ornament on the little white hand.
which needed Done, was plain gold ring, sacred
to the memory of q maiden promise. Well, one
evening-it was moonlight summer time-we
sat alone on the porch by the cottage door, hold
ing that little white hand in gentle pressure,
but one arm had stolen around her waist, and q
silent song of joy, like the music of the night,
was in our soul. Our lips met in sweet, de-
icious kiss, and bending softly to her ear, we
whispered the tale of passionate devoton-we
proposed. In moment she tore her hand from
ours, and with look of ineffable scorn she said.
in voice trembling with suppressed rage,
What! marry an editor! You git out!n We
slid.

LITERARY ITRMs-Miss Evans, the author of
"Adam Bede" and "The Mill on the Floss" is
at present visiting Florence, Italy. A CORES
pondent of the Boston Transcript, writing from
that place, May 21, thus describes the lady:
She would be called ugly by thoughtless per-
sons, but the more discriminating pronounce
her intelligent and interesting in appearance
Miss Evans is woman of forty, (probably,) tall
in stature, large in build, of fair complexion,
golden hair, fine teeth, light eyes, long nose, and
the face is altogether long. In the heaviness of
jaw and highness of cheek-bone, she greatly re-
sembles a German. The expression of her face
is gentle and amiable, while her manner is par
ticnlarly timd and retiring. In conversation
she is said to stamp herself as q woman of un-
common talents, without assuming the least pre-
tension in accent or gesture. Such, outwardly,
is the authoress of "Adam Bede."
The New Haven correspondent of the Boston
Transcript says "Ike Marvel" lives in the sub
urbs, and farms with inglorious ease on his
small plat of land. 1t would appear that bis
early ambition for literary distinction has, in
great measure, died out. AT least, he now rests
upon his laurels, and his much talked-of History
of Venice sleeps in his own archives.
