Washington Irving's Love.
A Singular Life Romance

From the Philadelphia Inquirer T2
About the bachelorhood of Washington
Irving there always hung cloud of mys'
terry, which even his familiar acquaint-
ances tried in vain to dispel. But
the grave that more generally hides than
discloses the well-kept secrets Of life
time, having just closed over the late Miss
Rebecca Gratz, of this city-a Hebrew Ia
dy of exemplary goodness, and who was
noted for the greatness of her bounty to
all poor and needy persons-we are in
formed that she was the occasion of Irv-
ing's single life. In regard to the matter
a correspondent of the Jewish Messenger
writes:
Twenty years ago heard the story,
story that has long been current in Phila-
delphia in Jewish circles, among her
friends and acquaintance, and which has
again been revived here since her death.
1t runs thus: Many years ago, when Miss
Gratz was young girl, Washington IT.
wing, then already risen in literary repu
tation, came to Philadelphia, and became
a visitor. at the house Of her family. 1t is
said that in youth she was very beautiful
and very good, and as her acquaintance
with Irving increased, the beauty both of
her character and her features, together
with the fact that she was a living repre-
Sentative of that nation whose whole his
tory is romance, so wrought upon his
heart that he became deeply enamoured
with her. It is needless to say that, had
his attachment been never so strong, with
her strength in her faith, it would have
been wasted. AS it was, it was wasted.
Irving left the city, but did not forget the
lady of his love"
But the romance does not end here, for
the correspondent says that when Irving
met Sir Walter Scott abroad, he told him
the story of his attachment to the beaut1-
full and good Jewess of Philadelphia, At
the time, Scott was about to write the no
4 ~. 1anhoe," and he wa so impressed
with the portraiture Of the object of Ir,
Wings love, who, though loving, was still
SO faithful to her religion, that he gave TO
his heroine the name of Rebecca. True
or not, the story is beautiful one, and
there Is. nothing In it that is not honoFa-
BILE to all. Miss Gratz died aged % years.
Henry T. More, the owner of Ruther-
ford Park, N. J., committed suicide en-
Tuesday. He was worth 100000. 9A.

Plain Talk.
A Voice From sOmers.


MR. EDITOR a# hf
1t has been my province in the past, to
listen to the. reasonings of others in mat
tiers pertaining to politics, rather than in
trude my own opinions. Yet, as an Am
erican citizen, am doing my whole duty,
short of speaking out against the errors
of the party of which | am member ?
Reflections of this nature have led me to
the penning of the present article, togeth-
er with the fact, that we soon in our
county election are going to have close
fought battle, and aohysso closely, when
but few years ago, we had a working
majority of eight hundred Here, is
where doctors disagree" think tbs
defamation in our numbers can readily be
accounted for, by the disposition of the
party in the past to follow the dictation
of few, of the superannuated, most rad
ical, one-idea men of the party; know
ing that a 7somjnati03a, was equal to an
election. Hence, very little discretion,
has been used, in our selecting nominees.
Those nearest the ring. of course, served
first, while the claims of localities, if in
terfering with the ideas, of this ring
must be entirely set aside; no matter how
large republican majorities, such locali-
ties were in the habit of giving. This
sort CT treatment has enabled the demo
Gratis of this town to increase their yot
ing strength from the small number of
eighteen to sixty-fve, and the end is not
yet, unless we can get q 'aeao deal.
The last year or two, we have brought
out, worthy candidates for nomination.
Hoo have these claims been met by those
within the ring Why" say they
:" Somsrs CANNOT have anything. She has
not Of late given US her usual majority,
We will teach her obedience" There
fore they punish us, who still stand by
them, for the shortcomings of those we
cannot control. tal9t5a
For one could dance with delight at
the funeral of all extremists of our land,
of both parties, for I consider their
chance of reform in this world so small,
that it sinks irte insigniicance when
compared with the damage they
have of late years, and still are doing our
country. Had it not been for the extrem-
lists. OF our own party, at the commence
ment of the war, we should have formed
q coalition with that wing Of the demo-
cracy which stood by the war measures
of the nation, and by SO doing presented
an almost solid northern front, and saved
untold millions of treasure, and tens of
thousands of lives to the nation. This is
of the past What we want of the future
is cool straight forward legislation Such
as, upon the one hand, we shall not lose
the advantages To the nation resulting
from the war, nor, upon the other hand,
to show nlaficiousnes or wish to de-
grade people who have lain. down their
arms Of rebellion
This, by some, may be regarded what
lis heading indicates: Plain Talk" /
can't help it. It is my way of speaking
and acting. I wish TO see not only a Ma
tonal, but a Rfttional Republican. party
in the ascendency in our land, and shall
labor in the future, as in the pas, to that
end. ]. w. RHODES.

Lake Zurich.

Sparkling brightly are thy waters
Clear as crystal in the light,
Shedding forth such rays of beauty
That we gaze in mute delight.
Just the same as on lifc's billow,
Days of brightness cheer US on
Dazzling brightness aught of sorrow
Comes to US till sunshine's gone.
Sparkle on, o Zurich's waters
Let US look on thy bright waves
Dancing, leaping, bubbling waters,
Shining in the SUMS bright rays.
Many have admired thy beauty,
Sung most sweetly in thy praise
Many. who have found resting,
Who on crystal waters gaze.
Those beyond life's calm and tempest,
Dwelling now in scenes of light,
Find that sparkling waves are brightest
Where there are no clouds or night.
But we love to gaze and wonder
While we stay on Zurich'S shores,
Thinking. o, what scenes of splendor
Wait us ON the eternal shores.
Then Lake Zurich, all unmindful
Ofthe thoughts that throng the mind
OF the ones who watch and wonder,
And in thee such beauty find.
Then, in thy unconscious beauty,
Sparkle on from night till morn,
While we go in paths of duty,
Sparkle, sparkle sparkle on.
