A MASSACHUSETTS lioaANCE.-A
bit of romance in one of our Wor-
ccstcr county towns is exercising the
minds Of the gossips just now.
Here il is: Some seventeen years ago
the only daughter OF a wealthy far
mer was married with some ecldi, and
went away to live in "York State"
The history Of the domestic felicity
of this marriage tradition is not re-
corded, but after two years or so from
the wedding day, the young wife cx-
rr sscd n wish to return home for n
few weeks visit. The husbands
business just then precluded the idea
of his accompanying her, but he help
ed on her preparations, and one
bright morning, now fifteen years
ago, carefully put her on board the
casiern-bound train, babe her fare
well, and went back to his house to
keep bachelors hall as best be might.
Strange to say, he heard nothing
from the absentee, but faithful 10 his
promise, the next Sunday he wrote
her long letter setting forth all his
discomiorts and begging her to hast
en- her return. Lo, the return mail
brought, not n dainty little loving
missive from his absent Harriet, but
strange, ill-omened scrawl from her
mother. 1t was a cry of alarm.
The daughter had not been home
And from that time for fifteen years
she never did reach home, or darkcn
or brighten her husbands doors,
The husband bore his bereavement
most stoically; the father said moth.
ing. lie loved his boys aud wa,
proud Of them. His girl he had
reared up to womanhood, got hcr
well married of, and the worriment
OF the mystery he had washed hi,
hands Of. 1t belonged by good right
to the husband. But the poor moth
er, who had never in all her life be.
fore gone beyond the shadow of hel
husbands apple trees, set of at once
in search Of her. She wandered NJ
and down the world for months. A
shy, quiet, home body, very deaf
and knowing no more about geo
graphical points and railroad routes
than the big dog she left at home, n,
one wondered when she gave up th'
search at last as hopeless. She grew
very old and very deaf, meantime
and everybody pitied the meek, patti
ent motherly woman, who forcet
herself te settle down at last, an,
live on the old, unappcased anxiety
Well, the daughter came home th'
other day. She bad found her aflir
ity, and been living with him thcs
fifteen years. She don't need I,
marry him. They understood eacl
other perfectly, but she thought She,
Tjust step home for a flying visit, /
let them know how happy she is.

a young miss Of fve-and-tweuty, for
not taking a wife she urged that he
was hale and hearty, aud deserved a
matrimonial mess-mate. The Judge
acknowledged the fact, admitted that
he was convicted by the eloquenee Of
his fair friend-that he had thus far
been rcmiss, expressed contrition for
the fault, and ended with offering
himself to the young lady, telling
her that she could not certainly re-
ject him after pointing out his helm.

she would be most happy to take th,
situation so uniquely advertised. anC

GRAY JACKETS AS WELL As
BLuE.-The Augusta, Ga, ContitH-
tionalist speaking Of the proposition
to send the New York Seventh Regi-
ment to the Worlds Exposition at
Paris, says:
"Do not go the whole animal for
yourselves, brethren of the North.
Give us "Rcbels" chance to see the
spires of Notre Dame, and smoke
multitudinous pipes with chasseur
and zouave. Represent the whole
country while you are about II. Send
whatever boys in blue you please,
and let the South furnish specimens
of graybacks. There are plenty of
old jackets ami pants still left, mired
with Gettysburg and Chancellors-
vile. That is but fair. Yon can
crow over the one--wc will crow
over the other, and both can yell in
chorus. Send what regiment you
please in blue, foreigners viii not
forget the regiment in gray--for both
are types Of this great land. Send
what corps of the Northern host you
may, there cannot fail, to use the
language OF your own historian, to
arise the image Of that other army
that was the adversary Of the army
of the Potomac--and which who can
ever forget that once looked upon it?
That array OF tattered uniforms and
bright muskets-tbat body Of incom-
parable infantry, the army Of North
crn virginia-which for four years
carried the revolt on its bayonets,
opposing a constant front 10 the
mighty concentration Of power
brought against Il; which, receiving
terrible blows, did not fail 10 give the
like, and which, vital in all its parts,
died only with its annihilation.' 2
We would simply add, says the
Macon Telegraph, to the rccommen-
dation, that Grant aud Lee accom-
