4 Romance In Louisiana Life.

In his last letter to the Mobile Times, " Eve.
lyn" tells the following story:
have before said that romances in real life are
more common than people suppose, and have re-
marked that few notice romances and plots un-
less set out and adorned by the skill of romance
writer. A plot for novel, or a study for story,
has recently come under my own observation.
Something like two years ago young A., the
Of one of the wealthiest men In Louisiana, fell
deeply in love with young lady Of neighbor-
ing parish. His love was returned with warmth,
and they were engaged. But now an obstacle
the match. For some time he kept this secret
from his fdnce, and meanwhile she was making
preparations for her marriage. She was an
orphan, but had been left small property,
which, valuable before the war, now brought her
but little over $1,000. This she expended upon
her trousseau, feeling that. as her intended hus.
band was rich, she had no necessity for saving,
and that she should make an appearance worthy
of their station. As the time drew near when
they were TO be united N seemed to change
towards her. and grow cool and serious. In vain
she tried with all the arts love could suggest to
learn he secret of the change, but he did not con-
foe in her, and she could only wait and wonder.
Al last the time fixed for the ceremony
came, and M was forced TO make con-
fessCn. He said that his father forbade the
match, that he had supposed her an heiress when
be engaged himself TO her, and now he could not
marry her against his fathers will. The shock
Nh1Oh thic gave tho yOuuB khAf Oou 70 lln4btuoA.
Naturally one will say that she should have des-
pissed him, and have felt herself fortunate in maxi
ing her escape; but, on the contrary, ii was then
only that she felt how much she loved him. She
had given herself without reserve, and, so far as
she was concerned. she was his forever. For the
next year and half she was in q convent, entire
ly excluded from the world but some two months
ago she was persuaded 10 come TO this city, and
remained here for two or three weeks. One day
she received letter which seemed to disturb her,
and on going 10 her room, later, q friend found
her on her knees, praying for the man who had
deserted her. He was very sick IN the country,
and begged her 10 come to him. On that very
day Ms father died, and the funeral no
tice was handed TO her as ehe stepped into the
carriage TO go TO the cars. For week nothing
was heard from her, butsoon we got the finale Of
the romance. The girl had gone Immediately to
Ms bedside, and found HIM, very III, attended
by his two sisters. He told her that be was dying.
aud, now that his father was gone, wished TO
make her his wife. They were married. viii
was made by him giving her one-hslf of his large
fortune the other half TO his two sisters, and the
next day he followed bis father from earth. Con
trary so the advice Of her friends, the young mai
den'widow announces her intention Of retiring to
the convent for life. -

Supreme Court sTthe United sta'es-NO. &c
December Term, 1861.

The st. Louis Street Foundry, ETC., Geo. Cro-
nau, Claimant, Appellant, vs.. the United States.
Appeal from the Circuit Court Of the United
states for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion Of
the court.
This case is not distinguishable in principle
from those Just decided. IL appears from the re-
cord that Cronan, in the Circuit Court, pleaded
the amnesty proclaimed By President Lincoln on
the Sth December, 1868, and the oath taken by
himself in pursuance OF the proclamation. In this
plea there was no averment that Cronan was not
within any of the exceptions made by the procla-
nation, and it was, therefore, properly overruled.
Upon proper pleading and proof, however, the
claimant of property seized under the act of Au-
gust 9th, 1861, is entitled to the benefit Of am'
nesty to the same extent as under like pleading
and proof he would be entitled 20 the benefit of
pardon.
The decree OF the Circuit Court must be re-
versed as irregular, and the cause remsnded with
directions 10 allow a new trial, the proceedings ia
which shall be cOnformed. in respect to trial by
Jury and exceptions TO evidence, to the course OF
The common law.

new comic drama, IN six acts. written for the
Academy stage, and entitled "Female Pfiyateers,"
in which Jack tars and landlubbers, navy plug,
tar and salt water are TO figure extensively. The
scene is laid in Galveston in the first three acts, and

the sacred concerto which we bave previously al
luded, as being given for the benefit of the Sabbath
school attached to the church. The programme,
which will be found published elsewhere, embraces
some of the most beautiful selectons from sacred
musical composers, such as Warren's " Rock OF
Agesr sung by four voices, and Knights SOLO,
. Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" There will
also be several pieces sung by the children OF the
Sunday school, among which is TO be that familiar
hymn, g Beautiful Zion." The mingling OF these
childish voices will form by no means the least
pleasing feature of the evening, aud trust that
there may be large number in attendance to lis
ten to them. r.f Is T. 81
CoEcERr.--A fine concert. and one well worth
attention and patronage, will be given at the Ma
iiOnal Theater In few days. "From advance

HONORABLE DAyIDG. BURSET.-We are pleased
20 publish in our columns to-day, handsome and
touchingly beautiful letter from our citizens
among whom are some Of the oldest in rexas-tO
our venerable and distinguished fellow citizen,
Judge David G. Burnett, and 10 whom a feeling
compliment has been paid by the signature of
many ladies. All would have signed It, If time
had been permitted. The letter is occasioned by
Judge BuTnet's proposed departure TO pass the
summer and perhaps the remainder Of his Life,
with bis relations in New Jersey, who have atiec-
tionately urged him to spend his last days with
them. This marked tribute of respect, coming
spontaneously from the hearts Of our people to
one full of years and honOrs, is eminently proper.
And if plexible integrity, elevated patriotism,
and unselfsh purity are OF worth in the world, be
deserves more than the pen Of man can write.
His name has been long connected with our
State. He was both president and vice president
of the republic of Texas his life and services are
written on every page of her history, and in pub
lie and private life be was alike the object Of pub
lie and private veneration aud esteem. After an
nexaton he retired from political life into honor
able poverty, and carried with him, and has pre-
served the universal love and respect Of our peO-
pie of all ages and al classes.
