SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL "a.

A SAP. TRUE SToRY.-An incident Of the
sad side of life occurred 10 connection with the
smallpox hospital q week or two ago A young
lady Of German parentage was taken there to
remain under treatment for the smallpox, just
at the time she was to have been married to an
est;mable young man connected with one OF
our most Hourishiug business houses Day
after day he came to the Cincinnati Hospital,
on Twelfth street, to hear from his afianced
bride. The time for the wedding passed by,
and the news came to him that she was worse
and must die With the characteristic devo-
ton Of q woman, she sent him word not to visit
her or to be present at her funeral. She also
made the request that she should be buried IN
her bridal dress. So, about the middle of last
week, 10 the white vestments with which she
was to have been arrayed at the marriage altar,
she became the bride Of death. 10 the hearing
Of tender though strange voices she had passed
away The hands OF strangers clad her 10 the
bridal garments and laid her in the cothn.-
The eyes of strangers dropped tears as they
closed the coffin lid over her, and thought OF
what she was, and what she had hoped to be-
and of the one heart LETT sad by her departure
Friends, but not old ones, saw her deposited III
the earth and marked the spot, that those who
knew her well might find her resting place.
