that instrument has been diSregarded III every
part, and public liberty and private rights trodden
down, and the material pros perity of the country
essentially impaired, justice, humanity. ana hbPr

tourist was lately proceeding towards
Trenton, he asked man who was break,
ing stones by the roadside. how long it
would take him to reach that place. The
man looked at him without speaking. and
then resumed his work. The question
vas repeated with the same result, and at
last the traveller walked on. lie had not
proceeded more than a hundred yards
when the man called after him, and made
a sign for him to return. When toe pc
destrian reached the stone breaker, the
latter said to him. ut viii take you an
hour to reach Trenton" "Why did YOU
not tell me SO at first Z" said the traveller.
"Wby." replied the man, "it was neccs-
sary for me to see at what rate you walk
ed, and, from the way you step out. nm

A VIENNA ROMANCE is going the rounds

A VIENNA ROMANCE is going the rounds
in the following dress. Love is a very
uncertain thing, and it is not safe to be
too certain Of the symptoms until they
are unmistakable. The following will
explain our meaning: Vienna was stirred
up lately by the cOmical result of a strange
love story. 1t seems that in the house OF
one Herr kuhne, a teacher of languages,
DR.. Kant, young lawyer happened to
make the acquaintance of lady burden
ed with some property and thirty years.
The lady being unmarried, evihccd par
tcuIar interest in the young, shy, aud
rather abashed man of law. She made
love to him, in fact, very strongly and
rersuaded him to visit her at her house.
But, alas! he loved another lady. One
evening, while convcrsing with the doc
tor, she said "With your favorable idea
Of matrimony, may l ask if you ever
thought Of marrying YOURSELF" DR..
Kant sighed, and his eye resting on the
ground, hesitatingly muttcrcd in reply:
81 have already thought Of marrying, and
made my choice, but" But" the
lady hastily interposed. But" he con
tinued, "the lady is rich very rich-and
Am poor. | am afraid | could hardly
aspire to her hand, and rather than allow
myself to be taxed. with sordd designs,
will bury my passion in my own breast
and leave it unavowed forever" At an
early hour the following day she, howev.
er, betook herself to q solicitor, and in le-
gal form declared her wish to present and
hand over as his sole property the sum Of
10000 guilderS ($75,00W to DR.. Kant.
When the document had been signed,
countcrsigned. and duly completed. she
sat down in the office, and enclosing it in
an elegant envelope, added note 10 the
following effect:
DEAR SlR-l nave much pleasure in euclos-
Ing paper, which ! hope will remove the OBJ
StscIe IN the way Of your marriage.
believe me, etc,
ALICE MARTINI"
DR.. Kant, for he ard no other was the
addressed, was the happiest man in the
world on receiving this generous epi>tlc.
Repairing at once to the parents of Frau.

posed for and received the hand OF a gill

The mountain Democrat., 1865-01-14

How gloomy is earth when Of loved ones bereft!
How heetins is jOy-its hopes how like air
But, oh, when they've fed there is one sweet
hope left,
1t points DER the tide to the brighter world
there
Btill again do I stand by that river of night,
Al d tearfully gaze at the far distant shore
And linger and watch for the boatman in wliie
To come with his bark and ferry me DER.
