loved him very dearly.
Scoring to occupy q doubtful position,
or to cause the lady to conceal aught from
her parents, the young man frankly and
manfuIly asked MFR. c. for his daugh-
ter's hand. Very angry grew the planter
as he listened 20 the audacious proposal.
He stormed and swore furiously, and de-
nounced the young man as an ungrateful
upstart.
''My daughter has always been accus-
toned to riding in her own carriage" he
said. "Who are you, sis %
ga gentleman, sir,'' replied the young
man quietly and he left the house.
The lovers were parted. The lady
married soon after wealthy planter, and
the young man went out again into the
world to battle with his heart and conquer
his unhappy passion. He subdued it !;
but although he afterwards married a wo-
man whom he loved honestly and truth

a ROMANTIC INCIDENT.

a correspondent OF the Cincinnati &c
zette, at Atlantic city, says: / romantic
incident occurred here last week, which
has thus been related to me: a young
man from Philadelphia lost his heart to a
pretty girl from that city, whose father
was president Of promlnent bank there,
and very wealthy. lie was q salaried
clerk, though of very good family, and
was unwilling, on account of his poverty,
to- propose marriage, even though he Lad
reason to believe his passion was returned.
He made bis confession, it seems, TO one
of his friends, and the story of his modesty
and pride reached the young lady's ears,
and touched her, very naturally.
a few weeks after the fair Philadel-
phian was driving on the beach alone,
when her horse became frightened at the
surf and ran of at furious pace She
lost all control of the terrified animal,
which had ran at least two miles, when
the enamored swain, exactly as it happens
in romances, CHANGED to be walking by
the border of the sounding main, as Ho-
mer would put it, thinking of the cheerless
future without the idol Of his soul (for
further scphomorical phraseology, see Syl-
vanus Cobb, Jr) In a few moments he
held the horses head was dragged a few
hundred yards before be could check the
animals course, and then snatched the
half tainting girl from the vehicle. Once
in his arms she tainted wholly, of course.
He held her in his embrace until she re-
covered. She murmered her gratitude
he his passion, and they walked to the
hotel with rosy bushes all over their faces
That night the wealthy father heard Of
! his daughters rescue, and, after talking
with her, discovered that she loved the
fellow, The following morning he Sent
for the clerk, and discovered the fellow
loved the girl.

his funds commenced to run short, when,
in fit of desperation, he enlisted in the
5th United States cavalry as q private
soldier, and in this humble capacity strug-
gle1 against hardships and deprivations to
which he had been wholly unused. In
the meantime his father died some four
months ago, leaving Hugh heir TO baro-
retcy and snug little income of G5, 900
per annum, or about S25, 900 in gold.
The young baronet was duly sought for,
and, after an expenditure of $500 in ad-
vertisements, it was ascertained that he
was stationed at Camp Verde, Texas.

William 5. Hillyer, of New York, who
became interested in the case, indnced Sil

CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY Dr.. SCHFNCK's
MEDICINEs.-To cure CONSUMPTION the
system must be prepared so that the lungs
will heal. To accomplish this, the liver and
stomach must first be cleansed and an appe-
tite created for good wholesome food, which,
by these medicines viii be digested properly,
and good healthy blood made thus building
up the constitution. SCHENCK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mueuous accumulations and, by
using the Sea Weed Tonic IN connection,
the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutricous as
we'll as medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, ali impurities are expelled from the
system, and good, wholesome blood made,
which will repel all diseases. If patients
will take these medicines according to diree-
tions, Consumption very frequently in its
last stage yields readily to their action.
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver
and stomach. II does not follow that be-
cause the bowels are not costive they are
not required, for sometimes in diarrBGa they
are necessary. The stomach must be kept
healthy, and an appetite created to allow
the Pulmonic syrup to act on the respiratory
organs, properly and aliay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform a per
manent cure is, TO prevent taking cold.
Exercise about the rooms as much as posi-
ble, eat all the richest food-fat meat, game,
and, in fact, anything the appetite Graves
but be particular and masticate well.
