FRENCH ROMANCE.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has recently
published the following interesting story,
which originally appeared in the Courier des
Etats Unis:
The Count de St. Croix, belonging to one
of the noblest and wealthiest families in
France, became engaged, after long and
assiduous courtship, to lady, his equal in
position and fortune, and famous for her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day was
appointed which was to render two loving
hearts one, the Count wrs ordered immedi-
ately to the siege of Sebastopol
:. So he girded on his sabre, and at the head
of the regiment marched to the battle field
During his absence, It happened that his
beautiful afiianced contracted the smallpox
and, after lowering between life and death
for many days, recovered her health, to find
her beauty hopelessly lost. The disease had
assumed, in her case, the most yirulent
character, and left her not only disfigured,
but scanned and SCARED to such a frightful
extent that she became hideous to herself,
and resolved to pass the remainder of her
days in the strictest secluson Ayear passed
away, when one day the Count Immediately
upon his return to France, accompanied by
his valet, presented himself at the residence
of his betrothed and solicited an interview
This was refused. He however, with the
persistence of lover, pressed bis suit, and
finally the lady made her appearance, close'y
muflled in double veil. At the sound of
her voice the Count rushed forward to
embrace her; but stepping aside she trem-
blingly told him the story of her sorrows,
and burst into tears. heavenly smile
broke over the Counts handsome features,
as raising his head above he exclaimed, at
is Gods work. am blind p
1t was even so. When CALAMITY leading
his regiment to the attack, cannon ball
passed so close to his eyes, that while it left
their expression unchanged and his counte-
nance unmarked, had robbed him forever
of his sight. 1t is almost unnecessary to add
that their marriage was shortly afterward
solemnized. 1t is said that at this day they
may often beseen tthe Emperor receptions,
an officer leaning upon the arm of a lady
closely veiled, who seemed to be attracted to
the spot by their love of music.

| THE PROMPT CLERK.-Ionce knew young
man, said an eminent preacher, who was
commencing life as a clerk. One day his
employer said to him, s'To-morrow that car
90 of cation must be got out and weighed !;
and we must have regular account of it. :
The youth had energy. This was the first
time he was intrusted to superintend the
execution of this kind of work. He made
his arrangements over night, spoke to the
men about their carts and horses, and resolv-
ing to begin very early in the morning, in
structed all the laborers to be there at A
O'Clock So they set to work, and the thing
was done; and about ten or eleven in the
day his employer came. Seeing the young
man seated in the counting house, he looked
blank, supposing has commands had not
been executed.
Il thought said he, 'you were requested
TO get out that cargo of cotton this morn
ing 2"
ssIt is out, sir; and here is the account OF
IT.
From that moment this young man never
looked behind him nor paused in his career
His character was fixed. Confidence was
established between him and his employer
To the latter his services became indispensi-
BILE, and he arose rapidly to distinction and
fortune.
The hydraulic press., 1860-12-22

A few nights since Miss Stevenson, living
with her uncle (Capt Gracie) in Pittsburgh,
Pa, was awakened by persons in her room
who were evidently intent on the robbery of
her trunks. She lay awake quietly and heard
them. One suggested that she might wake
up the other said, "apply the stuff then"
The first, more timid than the rest, remon-
strated, lest it might kill her. "Well, let it
kill her, them" said the other. So, the vial
of chloroform was emptied on her face and
head, sickening without supplying her. She
had already discovered that the leader was
her own brother, and after they had got her
watch, diamond pin, jeweiry and most of her
money, (some $50 being undiscovered, they
went off and she followed them, calling her
brother back in vain. Next day she had
them arrested and locked up. Her brother
is only about / 5 years old, and was going to
school in the city.
