Romance Of Real Life.

The Neao York Mail relates that
about twenty-five years ago a
Northern gentleman and a young
lady of New York were married,
evidently very happy. About a
year later a fine boy was born to
them, and seemed to be an addi-
tional bond of affection. At the
end Of ten years the gentleman
met with a reverse in business and
became quite poor. BY mutual a.
greement, a divorce was obtained
in the Western States, and the gen
tleman went South {; the lady was
fine looking, and in a few years,
married again, her husband being
well. l.to-do in the world. 1t was a
happy marriage throughout, and
lasted till little more than a year
ago, when the second husband
died, leaving his widow fortune
of twenty thousand dollars. At
this time the son had reached
the age of twenty years. Unhap-
'py at the separation of his father
and mother, he induced the return
of his father from Costa Rica,
where he was unavailingly seeking
to mend his broken fortunes, and
brought about an interview with
his widowed mother. They talked
matters over and the result was
that on Wednesday the son had the
happiness to celebrate the anniver-
sary of his twenty-frst birth day by
Witnessing the extraordinary scene
of the marriage of bis father and
mother.

Keeping Engagements

Some people, calling themselves
Christians, or even Christian min
listers, have no scruples in violating
engagements for their ownperson-
al convenience. 1t is a bad habit
wicked we should say-for eve
ry one ought to hold bis word sa.
cred. The following incident is
instructive: ~
Sir William Napier was one day
taking q long walk near Freshford
when he met little girl about
FIVE years old scbbing over a bro
ken bowl. She had dropped and
broken it in bringing it from the
field to which she had taken her
fathers dinner in it, and she said
she would be beaten on herreturn
for having broken it then with
sudden CLEAN of hope, she imme-
diately looked into his face aDd
said
'sBdt We can mend it can't YEP"
Sir Williams explained that he
could not mend the bowl; but the
trouble he could mend by the gift
OF a sixpence to buy another
However. on opening his purse it
was empty of silver and be had to
make amends by promising to
meet his little friend in the same
spot, at the same hour next day,
and to bring the sixpence with
him, bidding her, meanwhile, to
tell her mother that she had seen
a gentleman who would bring her
for the bowl next day
The child, entirely trusting him,
went on her way entirely COM
forted.
On his return home he found an
invitation awaiting him to dine
n Bath the following evening, to
meet some one whom he especial
y wished to see. He hesitated
Sor some little time, trying to cal
;ulate the possibility of giving the
meeting to his little friend of the
broken bowl, and Of still being in
ime for the dinner party in Bath;
,ut finding that this could not
,e, he wrote to decline accepting
he invitation on the plea of
Encouragement" saying to one
# his family, as be did SO, 'Ican-
lot disappoint her, she trusted me.

Regard for the Senate

i j be Republlcan newspapers fine
SO many causes of rejoicing 10 tn,
Cefeat of Andrew Johnson in tb,
Senatorial contest in Tennessee
that they are unusually kind and
candid in speaking of other matters.
A Jealous Republican is affected
by the mention of Johnson's name
very much as a bull is by the sight
of red. He so worried and annoyed
the party for folr years that the
remembrance Of bis hostility, will
never be forgotten or forgiven by it
Other enmities may be softened
and Obliteraled, even those which
grew out of a desperate civil war,
and we're for a time as fierce and
bitter as could be entertained, but
the leud between Johnson and the
Republican party will last until one
of them gives up the ghost. john
son has good deal of life in him
yet, and is disposed to wear ont in
stead of rust out, and much more
improbable things may come to pass
than that he shall live to see the
proud and insolenl party with which
he battIed as Presi14nt, condemned
to death by the people whom it has
deluded to plander.
1t is nonsense for Republican
newspapers, in speaking of john
son as Senatorial candidate, to de-
ny his ability, or to say that his
election would be "a reproach to
Tennessee and a shame to the Sen
ate. What candid newspaper of
any party in the country will say
that when johnson was in the United
States Senate he did not prove his
right to the position by his ability
and courage?
Probably Tennessee, if the reports
concerning MIR. Oeoper's character
and capacity are correct, has done
wellin preferring him to Johsnon, bul
the latteb was leading man in
the Senate when there were much
better men in it than now, and be.
fore it had been disgraced by the
advent Of carpet-baggers.
Republicans who think the cleo
ton Of johnson to the Senate would
be reprOaeh to Tennes> ee, are not
agitated unpleasantly by the sp-
pearance there of such men as
Chandler, and Yates, and Abbott,
and POmerOy, and Others Of quite
as bad odor. johnson has never
been suspected of accepting bribes,
or employing any Ofice intrusted to
him to enrich himself. As regards
honesty, therefore, be would go into
the Senate the superior Of the ma
jority Of the men now making up
that body. In natural capacity, be |
is, at least, the equal of any Re
publican in the Chicago
Times.

A BIRD SONG.

A little bonnie bird know,
With breast more soft than eider-down;
A dress she wears of dapple brown,
And sings with sweeter tone trow-
All! sweeter far this birdie sings
Than all the birds the summer brings;
And yet her song is only this:
Il love you, papas' then-a kiss.
Not tenderest song of nightingale,
Nor sparkling trill and gurgling gush
Or JOY from velyet-throatedi thrush,
Nor brilliant pipe of mottled quail,
Nor tuneful plant of whippoorwill,
The measure of her song can fill;
And yet her song is only this:
Il love you, papa l' then-a kiss.
