Our attention has been called to one
of those little episodes in lie which are
SO full of romance, and which put to
the blush the flint and insipid efforts OF
the novelists who SO strain at the imaR-
inauve. We will tell the story as we
have learned 1t, as briefly as possible,
Some ten years ago a German family
left the old country to find home in
the new. A member OF the family and
one to whom we shall particularly re-.
fer, was a bright-eyed, lovely girl of
sixteen, named Kate. In Germany she
had plighted her troth with a young
farmer, who expected to leave for this
country in the same ship with Kate,
but some unwonted circumstance pre-
vented, and they must perforce sepa-
rate for a time. Before doing SO thew
again and again swore to be true TO
each other, and that no sea should be
broad enough or boisterous enough
to separate them long. AS soon us
the young man could arrange his
affairs he wonld follow his betrothei.

say they came here and settled down
and prUspered. For some months eve

young Casper to Katey saying that he
was nearly ready 10 leave, and in a few

to clasp the hand of her he loved more
and more every day OF his life, Snd-

that pretty young girl like Kate should
remain long without lovers. Kate
thought of Casper, and kept them off
for tonr years, but hearing nothing
from Casper, and believing him dead.
or, what was worse, faithless, when the
right man and the'right time came, she
yielded like good girl, and gave the

During her happy married life she
had in q measure forgotten Casper and
the early love, but one day, while sit
ting deeply buried In thoughE over her
lost husband, peculiar sensation
seemed 70 pferce her heart, and she felt
all her old love for Casper come back as
fresh and as earnest as 1t was when the
two parted at Hamburg years before.

ForssyeraI days this strange feeling
