A BIT OF RoMANCE-PUMP WATER
AND LOvE.-Dr. e. O. Guerrant, a gal
liant officer who served in the Confederate
army as AdJutant General, in Western
Virginia, was married on the 18th inst
to Miss Mary j. Duvalt, of Leesburg,
Tenn. The Doctor and his fair bride are
now stopping at the Louisville Hotel, he
ing en- route to their future home in Mt
Sterling, Ky. In connection with this
marriage a comrade in arms Of the doctor
relates the following pleasing little ro-
nance:
In the midst of terrific battle near
Leesburg, in which the shot and shell were
flying through the air like hail storm,
the doctor and Captain j., his compan-
ion, rode up to house on the roadside
ana called for drink of water, being al
most famished with thirst 4 charming
young lady furnished the cooling beverage
from q pump in the yard, and with one
of her sweetest smiles, spoke few words
of good cheer to the war-wora soldiers,
| battling In the cause of the South.
1t was not GDtil the following day that
Captain J. ascertained that his friend, the
doctor, had been seriously wounded in the
region of the heart. That smiling face.
and those cheering words spoken by the
lovely maiden who gave them the drink
of water, sent dart from Cupid's bow,
more potent than five years courtshIp,
into the tender-loin of the doctors affac-
tions. He told Captain j. that if he
lived "until this cruel war was over,
he would 90 back to that house by the
roadside and get another drink of water,
| even at the cost Of entering the ranks oI
the "Benedicts."
1t is unnecessary to add that he kept
his word. Not satisfied with the Good
Templar's drink, however, he robbed
Tennessee OF one of her most fascinating
and accomplished daughters, who is now
his wife, as above intimated

FIRST TEMPERANCE ESoCIETY.-Captain
c., who had been around the world
twelve times, formed the first temperance
society in Madagascar. The natives are
hard drinkers, and will imbibe anything
which has alcohol in it. a chief board
ed the vessel one day, as he was taking a
little ''Pain killer" a pint bottle of which
stood on a table. Thinking it rum, the
chief eagerly asked for some, and would
not believe the captains assertion that it
was medicine. Knowing his man, Cap
tain c., leaving the bottle, went 20
another part of the cabin. The tempta-
| tion was not to be resisted by the chief,
and, sezing the bottle, he drained a pint
| of the ''pain killer at one draught. The
captain, returning, resumed the conversa>
ton, pretending not 10 notice the chief,
who turned pale as his tawny complexion
would admit, and kept up a rubbing of his
abdominal regions, He twisted and turn
ed in his seat few moments, and then
giving a yell, rushed out of the cabin,
jumbed overheard, and swan for the
shore. When next year Captain c.
re visited that harbor, not drop would

of the first temperance society in Mad

Dead IN THE STREET.
: CITY INCIDENT

! CITY INCIDENT.
Under the lamplights, dead in the street,
Delicate, fair, and only twenty
There she lies,
Fac to the skies,
Starved to death in city of plenty
Spurned by all that is pure and sweet,
Passed by busy and car eless feet
Hundreds bent upon folly and pleasure,
Hundreds with plenty, and time, and leisure
Leisure to speed Chrsi's r2ission below,
To teach the erring and raise the lowly-
Plenty, in charity's name, to show
That lie has something divine aud holy.
Roasted charns--ciassical brow,
Delicate featnres-lOok at them TOW.
Look at her lips once they could smile;
Eyes-weil. never more they shall beguile
Never more, never more word of hers
A blush shall bring to the saintliest face.
She has found. let Us hope and trust,
Peace in a higher and better place;
And yet, despite of all i'll, ! Ween,
Joy of some heart she must have been,
Some fond mother, proud Of the task,
Has stopped to finger each dainty curl
Some vain father has bowed to ask
4 blessing for her, his darling girl.
Hard to thIuk. as We look at her there,
OF all the tenderness, love, and care,
Lonely watching and sore heart ache,
All the agony, burning tears,
JOYS and sorrows, and hOpes and fears,
Breathed and suffered for her sweet sake.
Fancy Will picture q home aF1r,
Out where the daisies and buttercups are,
Out where the life giving brcezaH blow.
Far from these sudden sEeets, toulsome and
low,
Fancy will picture 4 lonely hearth,
And aged couple dead 10 nirih--
An aged couple, broken and gray,
kueeling beside bed to pray
Or living awake o nights 10 hark

Then says he:
''Are we in the midst of revoloo-

The silence was most impressive.
Then says he again;
' Let hate do its wust,

And triumph We must.
Which sentiment evoked some cheers
from an obscure man in corner.
Mr. Smifiies resumed:

This was adopted by all the delegates
