Romance i'm Real Life.

About twenty-seven years ago, Captain
Brown, whose family resided ip Msttspoi-
sett, Mass, was the oversser of the estate
of Mr.. Henry u. Clifton, wealthy gentle
man of Richmond, Va. From some cause,
which still remains secret, a difficulty
arose between Captain B. and Mr.. c.,
wherein the fermer considered himself the
aggrieved party. To revenge himself for
the supposed wrong, he stole Mr.. C.'s in
fant daughter (then but six weeks eld) on
the day she was christened. The child was
brought to Mattapoisott and secretly adopt
ed by Brown and his wife as their own
She was named Julia, and grew to be we
man. When only sixteen years old, she
married Mr.. Isaac o. Pierce, printer, who
learned his trade in Fall River. Several
years ago they moved to Taunton, living for
a while at East Taunton. but more recently
at the Green. Two children have been born
to them, one of whom is now living.
During this long period Mrs. Pierce has
lived in ignorance of her parentage, and MIR.
Pierce, whe took her for better or for worse,
had never imagined himself the husband OF
an heiress. Mr.. and Mrs Clifton, at the
breaking out of the rebellion, converted
their Richmond property into cash, and
moved to Baltimore. Last summer, Rev.
Mr. Talbot, OF Taunton, while at Saratoga,
remarked upon the strong resemblance be-
tween Mrs. Clifton aud Mrs. Pierce. In
quiries followed, which resulted in the dis
covery that Mrs Pierce was in reality the
long lost child While the investigation
was in progress, Mrs. Pierce questioned her
reputed mother, Mrs. Brown, Captain
Brown died several years ago. upon the
subject. Mrs. B., who had kept the secret
of the child's parentage for twenty
years, twas SO overcome By the questions and
development of facts, that she Immediately
became i'll and died of heart disease. Be.
fore her death, however, she acknowledged
that Mrs. p was not her own daughter. -
An od celered nurse also recognized Mrs.
P, as the child of MIR. and Mrs Clifton by
a mole upon her right shoulder. She is an
only child, and therefore heir to the large
estate of her parents. 10.

FUn at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home
good peope! Don't shut up your houses
lest the sun should fade your carpets, and
your hsart lest hearty laugh shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there If
you want to ruin your sons, let them think
that all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without when they
come home at night, When once home
is regarded as only place to eat drink and
sleep, the work is begun that ends in gambl-
ing houses and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation some
where. If they do not find it at their
hearthstonss, it will be. sought in other and
perhaps less profitable places. Therefore,
let the FIRE burn brightly at nights and make
the homestead delightful with all those lit
tie arts that parents so perfectly understand,
Don't repress the buoyaHt spirits Of chill
dren. Half an hour of merriment round
the lamp and freight Of home blots out
the remembrance of many care and an
noyance during the day, and the best safe
guard they can take with them into the
world is the unseen influence of a bright
little domestic sanctum. 'z -a s1's 70

THANKsGIVING.

Up to the Great White Throne to-day, . ..

That God in mercy will receive
The thanks which we sincerely give . .. H
To Him for all The gracious care
Which we His crring children share;
gIis true, wild chaos seems 10 reign,
But lie can order bring again.
And though the clouds are thick and dark,
Aud fierce, rough waves dash 'gainsi the bark,
Which years ago was built, and named
Freedoms FAIR Ship OF Statof--wich gained
An homored name throughout the world
Where'er its banner was unlured--
We know tina; God will watch the helm
Aud nll cur foes can overwhelm.
And though. through al our beloved and,
Walls may be heard on every hand ...-.
Walls for the "lost,n neer 10 return;
Heart lights "gone out" no more to burn;
y Echoes which mock the .hstniIig ear, ..t
Waiting in vain once more 10 hear
The manly tread, the cheerful voice,
Which made the household 10 rrjoice.
Those same griei-slricken hearts will raise
THIS day to Him song OF praise
Praise and thanks that, although the times
OF Heaven seem long; though merry chiures
Ofyore are changed to funeral knells;
Thsngh treason vile yet weaves its spells,
Aud though dark seems the horizon, yet
The "Slaro Of Freedom has not set!
And though the fearful sacrifice
OF all we lore aud all we prize 'e
Be asked ofus, we will bow low ~
And kiss the rod, y for well we know
God will not ask more than His own;
Will not reap where He has not sown;
VIII not attict unless for good
Nor chasten but in plying mood.
