Romance and Mn,rImnnr

The MArtinsburg NsV Era, vouches for the
following bit Of Glove and romance" which is
but another chapter in the history of women's
strange capriees:
The dull mo1Otony Of our town was broken
on Tuesday by little episode which threw i'm
peachment completely 10 the shade, and clearly
demonstrated that truth is oftimes stranger than
hetion. The facts are these: A young and rather
prepossessing lady Of Bunker Hill, was engaged
70 be married TO gentleman living 10 Missouri.
Tuesday last was the day fixed for the ceIebra.
ton OF the nuptials. The bridegroom and his
attendants bad arrived. Mon1ay evening fopnd
a couYiyial party at the residence Of he BRIDE
father, among the number, the erpectant bride.
groom, his attendants and several near relatives
together with the youth and beauty Of the sur.
rounding country.
And there was present, also as au invited
guest former sfiauced and discarded lover of
the prospective bride. But there was in this
nothing strange. The bours, on rosy wings, few
swiftly by. 1t was "merrie companie'S The
bridegroom, in blissful ignorance Of "breakers
ahead, was gliding smoothly and peacefully
along in Fancys bark, counting the hours that
nterveaed between him and the cousummation of
bis happiness, But alas for feeting hopes aud
womau's fckleness. change had come DER
the spirit of the blushing maiden's dreams-of
her who had promised on the morrow, 10 become
the partner of his joys and sorrows. Her heart
wandered back to her first love. What high
tricks does Cupid sametimes play2
II was near the "witching hour Of the night"
and the bridegroom there, the license had
be en- procured, the attendants were in waiting,
and everything iu readiness for the performance
OF the Duptial rites on the following morning
But what Of that2 The bride had changed her
mind-an easy thing for woman to do. She had
suddenly concluded not to give her hand to him
who bad journeyed from the far West to claim
It. Her determination was made public, aud
there was sensation iu the assemblage She
said she would only wed the man of her first
love. Tears and entreaties finally prevailed, and
the "old gentleman" in a relentiug mood, gave
her permission to reverse her choice. She did
it. We leave the reader to judge of the feelings
of the bridegroom when informed of the sudden
turn affairs had taken. 1t must have given his
faith in woman pretty heavy shock, to say the
least, but be must remember that there is "many
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip, and that moth.
ing is certain except death.
The wedding came off in the PRESBYTERIAN
church in this place on Tuesday, according to
previous arrangements, but it was like the play
of Richard III, with Richard left out. There
was change of partners. The discarded lover
was the bridegroom, and the bridegroom, that
was to be, became a discarded lover The affair
afforded much food for gossip, and has been the
town talk ever since.
The disappointed lover bore up under it man
fully. Instead OF taking "a cup of cold pizen,"
he took the first train for bis Western home
preferriug not to realize how bitter a thing it is
to look into happiness through an other mans
eyes.

We FADE AS A LEAF.-As the trials of life
thicken, and the dreams of other days fade, one
by one, in the dim vista of disappointed hope,
the heart grows weary of the struggle, and we
begin to realize our significance. Those who
have climbed the pinnacle of fame, or revel in
luxury aud wealth, go to the grave at last with
the poor mendicant who begs pennies by the
wayside, and like him are forgotten. Genera,
tiou after generation, says an eloquent modern
writer, have felt as we feel, and their fellows
were as active in life as ours are now. They
passed away as a vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect of beauty as when her Creator COM
manded her to be. And so likewise, shall it be
when we are gone. The heavens will be as
bright over our graves as they are now around
our path the world will have the same attrac-
tion for our offspring yet unborn that she bad
once for ourselves, and that she has now for our
children. Yet little while and all this will
have happened Days will continue to move on
and laughter and the song will be heard in the
very chamber in which we died and the eye
that mourned for us will be dry and will glsten
with joy; and even our children will cease to
think of US, and will not remember to lisp our
name.

DANIEL WEBSTER, in discussion on the
influence of the press, spoke as follows
"Every parent whose son is away from home
at school, should supply him with news

difference there was between those of my
school mates who had, and those who had
not access to newspapers. The first were
always superior to the last in debate, COM
nositiou. and general intelligence"

DARK HoURs.-To every man there are
many, many dark hours-When be feels in.

when his hearts dearest hopes appear de-

burden, when all his aspirations seems worth.
less. Let no one alone think that he has
dark hours; they are the common lot Of hu-
manity. They are the touchstone to try
whether We are current coin or not.

PAYING THE DEBT IN GREESBAcKs.-Mr. Blaine,
Of Maine, in reply to Buffers idea of paying the
6vestwenties in greenbscks, said that we could
undoubtedly get rid of the bonds by paying the
greenbacks, but how could we get rid of the
greenbacks except by paying gold 2 That is easy
enough. Suppose while the debt shall be in
process of payment, the Government should colS
lect surplus of fifty or one hundred millions a
year in taxes, for the purpose of canceiing that
amount of notes would not that plan soon
bring the currency down to a specie basis, when,
instead of eight hundred or a thousand millions,
there would be but four or Eve hundred millions
of greenbacks to redeem in gold2 While the
debt was 10 process of payment in greenbacks,
the process of contraction in this way should go
on with equal step; so that the greenbscks
would be contracted by taxes collected under
redundant currency, and the government would
save all the premium on gold.-Dollar Times.
