MARRIED THE WRONG LADY.-Love is q very uncer-
tain thing and it is not very safe to be too certain of
the symptoms until they unmistakable. Vienna
has been stirred up lately by the comical result of
strange story. 1t seems that in the house Of Herr
Kahne, a teacher of languages DR.. Kant, young
physician happened to make the acquaintance of
young lady burdened with some property, and thirty
years of age The lady, being unmarried, evinccd
interest in the young but rather abashed doctor.
She made love to him, in fact, very strongly and pur
suaded him to visit her at her house. But alas he
loved another. One evening while conversng with
him, she said
'With your favorable idea Of matrimony, may ask
if You ever thought of marrying yourself?n
DR. Kant sighed and his eyes resting the ground,
hcsitatingIy muttered in reply:
81 have already thought of marrying and made my
choice, but"
''But?" the lady hastily intetposed.
."But he continued g the lady is rich, very rich,
aud am poor" am afraid | could hardly aspire to
her hand; aud rather than allow myself to be taxed
with sordd designs, l will bury my passion in my
breast and leave it unavowed forever.
At early hour the following day, however, she
bctook herself to solicitor, and III legal form de-
cared her wish to present and hand over his proper
ty the of 100000 guders Gels, ,O00) toDr-Kant.
When the document had been signed countersigneG
ard duly completed, she sat down in the Office and
enclosing it in an elegant envelope added the follow
ing note:

way of your marriage
believe me, &c, ALICE MARTIN.n
DR.. Kant-for he and no other, was the individual
addressed-was the happiest man in the world on re-
ceving this generous epistle. Repairing at once to
tile parents Of the Fraulein Fsche, the lady of his
love- lie proposed for and received the hand Of a girl
who bad been fattered by bis delicate, though una
vowed attentions His reply to Alice Martin, besides
conveying bis sincerest thanks contained two cartcs
de vste linked together by the significant rose colored
ribbon. Miss Martin forthwith sued the happy BRIDE
groom for restitution but as promise of marriage
bad been made, the was by two successive courts
decided against her.

VaIIandigham'. Resignation.

NailaMd1EhakM's ESes1gnatlOn.l I.f. g.,
"A special dispatch to the Boston Advertiser,
furnishes the following account of the scene in
the Philadelphia Convention, on the reception
Of Mr.. vallandigham's' letter Of resignation
The chief event of the days session was the
reading of Vallandighams letter. 1t was ad-
dressed to the convention, and was presented
by Mr.. Groesbeck, the chairman of the Ohio
delegation, who said it was the unanimous
wish of the delegation that it should be read
If Vallandigham was anywhere in the audi
ence he must have been exceedingly gratified
at the reception accorded him. The first mem
tion OF his name was the occasion for an out
burst Of hearty applause, and the person who
read the letter was received with shouts of ap-
plause from all parts of the building. The
manager seemed terribly embarrassed by this
demonstration, and for moment or two ap-
peared undecided how to act. Mr.. Doolittle
recovered himself soon, however, and adroitly
undertook to shuttle the letter out of the way
by ruling that it could not be read unless
unanimous consent was given. Hugh Gardir
ner, one of the New York delegates, at once OBJ
jected, and the president turned to other busi-
ness. The galleries and considerable body,of
delegates Immediately rebelled and a row was
imminent. Shouts of "read it-hurrah for
Vallandigham, y and g put him out," rose from
all quarters, and Bedlam was turned loose for
blunder had been made, and that the senti-
ment for Vallandigham was too strong to be
Snubbed in that manner. Accordingly in his
most suave manner he said he thought the
chair had made an incorrect ruling. He would
not, however, appeal from the decision, but
would moves q suspension of the rules. The
motion was put and carried by strong ma
jority and with much loud and hearty cheer
ing. The reading of the letter was frequently
interrupted by applause The enthusiastic
manner in which the notorious Ohio copper
head carried the day against Managers Ran
dali, Browning and Company is the subject of
much comment this evening. 1't 'Ai 81

whether loyalty is to be prescribed and pun

of the guilty authors and agents of the rebel
lion. Shall the loyal masses, or the sbaffied and
defeated traitors govern the country? In this

ward the spot whence the great charter of
American liberty was first proclaimed, and
propose within the sacred shadows of Indepen-

invited to come here and honor the Occasion
with their presence, and to enable all to confer
together upon the present and future of our

in the persons to whom the leadings were az

nowledgment-which was very wrong in
Mr.. Randall. 1t is easy to imagine the entRu =
iasmi. which followed the theatrical ar
nouncement: "Gentlemen: The delegates
from South Carolina and Massachusetts, will
now arm in arm enter this convention" The
story is doubtless malicious that the MassI-

touching melodrama under the instruction of

sonable to suppose that they accepted the suy-

people of my country" The spectacle would
have been more impressive, to be sure if some
of the delegates whose names were used for et-
feet or for ornament, had favored the conven-
ton with their presence. Unfortunately all
