A Love Affair.

A love affair Of more than usual in
terest has thrown our quiet little city
into the most intense excitement. The
high social position of the parties on
both sides, their purity Of character,
and, the extensive influence they WELD
in one Of our largest churches, invest
the affair with the deepest interest to
all classes of our community.
The two families most directly inter
ested 10 this affair have been long resi-
dents of this place, and have contribu-
ted in so imall degree to the growth
and general prosperity of the city
They have been on the main support
Of one of our largest churches. In one
Of the aforesaid families there is son,
who has rapidly arrived at that uncer-
tain age when it would puzzle a phre-
nologist to determine whether he is a
''big boy" or . nas-cent man. In the
other there is a daughter, the pride
and joy of her fond and indulgent
parents, who has bua recently laid
aside the ''doll,''' and placed on her
fair head the "chignon." These two,
having frequently met, and sighed, and
yearned, at last loved; their young
and tender hearts beat in unison, and
they agreed that, as they were one
spiritually, they would be one physi-
cally,-be "bone Of bone and flesh OF
flesh" -
This prospective union was received
with emotions Of joy by the parents
o,rd fr;opJc' of tho fo;r o,,1 ,o1;op+ mo;
den. But, alas! "The course of true
love never did run smooth" The IA
ther of the young aspirant to paternal
honors all at once became greatly in
censed, and, with a perversity hereto
fore unexhibited, forbade the econ
summation SO devoutly wished by the
young pair.
The young man-for we must SO re-
fer to him-was tortured by the most
terrible emotions. His inexorable ia
ther told him that if he did not give up
the girl he would cut him off without a
cent. What to do he did not know
At last love, undying love, conquered.
He did not care for expenses, and de-
cided to take the girl, an | have some
thing more than a cent. During the
progress ola revival at the place where
these good Christians were wont to as
semble to worship together as breth-
rem and sisters, one evening in the lat
ter part Of last week, as the faithful
were taking their departure from the
church, with, no doubt, the gospel pre-
cept ringing in their ears of Love
one another" our hero and heroine
being among the rest, she hanging
lovingly on his arm,-the young gen
tleman's enraged father suddenly pre-
sented himself upon the scene, and
commenced, in a loud, vociferous man
ner, to abuse the young lady, saying to
his beloved child that 'sHe would as
soon see him with common strumpet'
as with the young lady in question, and
at the same time separating them rather
roughly. A general melee ensued, to
the horror, no doubt, of. all good Chris
tians present; during which the loving
pair made their escape, and repaired
in haste to her fathers, where they
have since remained-in what relation
however, it is difficult to say. 5}|
The following day the young lady's
fond father, finding that his family
had been lnsulted, repaired to the gro
Gerry store Of the young mans father,
and demanded satisfaction for the
wound his high social reputation had
received. Words ran high; blows sue
ceeded; and then followed a scene
which, in common parlance, would be
termed a rough and tumble fight .
which wound up in the street by the
interference of the police. Here the
matter rests for the present; and what
the result will be, time will tell i
