An Orange EIOpement-A Young Lady of
Sixteen Runs of with and SrarrIes her
Fathers ex.COachman.

That Glove levels all ranks" would seem
10 be true as holy writ, at all events 10 some
instances, and in none more so than in a
case the results of which have considerably
agitated for weeks past certain circles in the
pleasant town of Orange, N. ]. About two
years ago, in the employ of Mr.. Elijah d.
Burnet, highly respectable merchant, was
a young man of rather pleasing exterior and
address named VIM. Cnlberi, His occupa-
ton was that of coachman.
A daughter OF his employer, Miss Annie
v. Burnett, then about in her fourteenth or
fifteenth year, but large and womanly for
her age, took decided liking for the good
. looking coachman, which penchant, after
some time, ripened into genuine Affection
William was of course delighted with the
state of affairs, Though some considerable
time elapsed before he realized the exact
state of the damsel's feelings toward him.
This discovered, on the principle, doubt
less, that love begets a full reciprocity ofthe
tender feeling followed, In the meanwhile
the attachment was jealousy guarded by the
| lovers, so that the parents of the girl never
dreamed OF the matter. Some business re-
verses necessitated the partial breaking up
OF Mr.. Burnet's domestic establishment, and
| young Culbert left, as his employer thought,
for parts unknown. By means only known
/ TO lovers under similar circumstances, Miss
Burnet and young Culbert managed to keep
up their intimacy and to meet occasionally.
Finally, the young lady found 1t difilcnlt TO
conceal the affair, and between anxiety on
! the one hand and true love on the other,
she managed TO work herself into severe
illness. Alter some time she impaired the
secret 10 her physician, who In turn, inform
ed the parents, who, as might be expected,
tried to disabuse the girl OF her notion, but
10 no purpose. AS TO marriage with Gull
bert they would not listen to such thing.
The upshot was that within few weeks
since Miss Annie surreptitouslY left home,
and in company with her lover, drove off to
Montclair, where they were indissolubly
united in the bonds OF holy malrimony by
the Rev. Mr.. l. L. Maxwell.
The sequel TO this romance in real life is
the best OF all. The indignant parents were
at tlrst disposed 10 give the young people the
cold shoulder, but finding that William was
really far above his former position and
about to take a responsible situation in q
Newark dry goods house, they relented, and
now perfect harmony reigns in the Burnet
and Culbert domestic circles.

WILMINGTON. TUESDAY. APRIL 10. 1870

up and down the streets, from the butchers
and bakers, between ten O'Clock and noon,
the hours when breakfast Is in the air.
They carry the huge rolls of bread, some OF
which are actually six feet long, with as
much grace as If they were seepters. The
bakers is very important institution in
Paris, and the young ladies who attend on
the customers are bedecked with no end OF
ribbons and laces. One thing which reflects
trifie on French cleanliness is the custom
which the bakers have of standing these
long rolls OF bread ON the sidewalk, before
their doors. During the recent riot bak.
er's shop was visited, and the intnriated
crowd grasped these hard rolls as weapons,
and could have made formidable weapons of
them.
The common terms of endearment be-
tween husband and wife, terms used in So
ciety, are my friend, " "my real treasure, !"
''my little dove" One sometimes hears a
wife call her husband an innocent old

while, du reUdnche, the husband playfully
admonlshes the wife as a mouse, or a dove,
or cat These expressions sound very
queerly translated into Saxon. The custom
Of using the names of animals as terms of
affection Or familiarity, is not likely 10 pros
per in English. There is one case of rather
bad taste In its adoption, viz. that Of the

GEN. THOMAS was nearly elk feet high,
of large frame, and an imposing stature
His limbs were massive. He possessed
firm mouth, square Jaw, and a steady, blue
eve. He was habitually grave. He was
seldom known to smile. Yet, though serious
and undemonstrative, he was mild and kind
and amiable in his actions. He often SEEM
ed cold and impassive, but certainly as care
less about his own feelings as he was impre-
yious to those OF others. After the battle of
Chicamauga, and when he must have been
perfectly conscious that he had saved Rose
crans' army and the whole region, he sat
half an hour drinking coffee, and did not
once allude TO the fight. No one would
have known that there had been any. In
battle he sat like statue, with scarcely a
motion, needless of bullets, occasionally
reused to enthusiasm by the success of one
of his maneuVers, but blushlng il his feelings
were discovered He was seldom moved
to anger, but when it came it was irighiful

From the New Orleans Pleayune-
SAD ENDING OF A ROMANCE.
A Private Soldier Condemned 10 heath
for Falling In love.

To-day, just as the sun Is at meridian, just
as with solemn sound the great bell of the
old st. Louis Cathedral tolls forth the hour
of noon, a soldier will pay the penalty of
crime for which military Justice knows but
one explation. The United States barracks,
below the city, has been the place selected
where the execution is to take place, and the
green sward of the parade ground will ere
many hours be stained with the life blood OF
the unfortunate man.
lie was member of one of the companies
of United States troops stationed near a viii
lage OF one of the interior parishes of Louisi-
ana. Near the camp of the company was
the plantation Of a wealthy gentleman who
had sympathized with the Union cause dur
ing the war, and who, therefore, was the
object of SPECIAL attention on the part of the
officers of the command then performing
provost duty. The planter had large fam
lily, among whom was daughter who pos
| sessed in remarkable degree that rare type
| OF beauty for which the women of the South
are noted. She had imbibed the sentiment of
her father, and therefore took great pleasure
in entertaining the officers who frequently
visited the house.
| The First Lieutenant OF the company,
Ambrose Black, at once conceived a warm
attachment for the beautiful young creole,
and endeavored in every way to induce her
TO share bis feelings. Strange to say, how
ever, the lady treated him in peculiarly
/ polite but formal manner, that proved her
heart was ice toward him. This was great
shock to his vanity, and be was at loss to
understand ii. Finally the explanation
/ came, when one of his companions, playful
/ ly rallying him upon his i'll success, stated
that he had discovered why the lady refused
TO smile upon him. He had accidentally
| witnessed an interview between herself and
| private Alfred Blake, the soldier who had
| been detailed to guard The house-an inter-
view which proved conclusively that the
heart of the young creole was the priVate's
and moi the officers.
| This intelligence was TOO much for Lieut..
| Black. His pride was wounded ia its most
vital point. He had been forestalled where
his heart was most enlisted, and by one of
his own subordinates, Seeking private
Blake at once, he poured out the yials of
his wrath upon him, taunted him with his
| position, and declared he would send him
where he should have no opportunities Of
| dalying with a shameless girl while on
| duty. Alfred Blake had borne much, but
| this coarse allusion TO the woman whom he
| loved better than life fired heart and brain,
and with ono blow he struck his officer pros
trate upon the ground in the presence of Eis
company.
| Then followed the trial which was rem
| dered inexpressible touching by the pres
| ence OF the woman who had dared to love a
| private soldier-the sentence of death, to
be preceded by Imprisonment at Ship Is
land.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
An Extravagant Railroad Story.

Certainly the most singular escape from
accident the Wisconsin has ever been called
upon 10 record took place at the Union de-
pot yard, near Greenwich street. A train OF
fiat cars, loaded with snow taken from the
yard, was moving out at the rate OF five
miles per hour. A German, upon whose
hands time hung heavily, and who had no
doubt been drinking, came down Greenbush
street, smoking cigar. He saw the train,
and the idea struck him that he would take
ride. Selecting the fifth car from the end,
he made jump aud landed-fat ON the rail
fairly across it, between the fourth and fifth
cars. The wheels struck his head and
pushed it off against the snow, bat turning
the man so that his head came on the track.
The wheels of the next car, struck the head,
throwing that off and turning the feet on
again, and so on until every set of wheels
under the cars had spun tue body around,
throwing first the head and then the feet of
the unfortunate man upon the track and into
danger,
Captain Galloway and his brother, who
were near the spot at the time, saw the af-
fair, and say that the mans body, by the
action OF the wheels, kept going about like a
top. They got 10 the spot as soon as they
could, expecting to find the man cut 10
| pieces. Lifting him up, we may imagine
their surprise to find that he was only Sc
yerely bruised. Carrying him TO saloon,
the German soon came to himself, and only
complained OF feeling sore and bruised.-
How he escaped death is certainly miracle
and cannot be explained. All the time, aud
until he was taken to the saloon and recov-
cred, the man clung to his cigar. When
fully recovered and questioned as to his
feelings while in so dangerous place, the
man said he realized 1t fully, and expected
the next pair OF wheels that reached him
would cut off his head or his legs, but after
little while he got accustomed to it, and be
lieved there was no danger, He said h,
thought he was under the train about three
quarters OF an hour, and would scarcely be
leVe that the whole thing occupied but fev
seconds. However, shoit as was the time
he does not care to be placed in the sam
situation again,

A CAT THAT DIED OF GRIEF.-One of
those strange events lranspired in this city
the other day which puzzle the most intel
ligent, though they furnish an interesting
topic for conversation. The late venerable
John Chllds, who died few days ago, had
an old tom cot which he had petted and fed
ever since it was small kitten, and they
had become inseparable companions and
much attached TO each other. During the
last sickness of Mr.. Childs, the cat remained
In his room nearly all the time, and refused
TO partake of any food toward the last. On
the morning after his death, "Old Tom" ap-
peared determined to enter and remain in
the room which contained all that was NOR.
tai of his best friend and it was with diff
Guilty that the animal could be kept out. He
persisted in remaining at the door, and
moaned there until member OF the family
removed the unhappy feline TO department
OF the cellar, and fastened him there. Oh
entering the cellar to give poor Tom som'
food, he was found 'slretched out, stark ant
dead /" How is the death OF the cat &C
counted for ? 1t is an interesting question

FATHERS GROWING OLD,

our fathers growing old, John
His eye are growing dim,
Aud years are OH his shoulders laid
A heavy weight for him.
And you nnd are young nnd hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make his load as liglat
Aud easy as we can.
He used to take the brunt, john
At cradle and at plough,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trilkled down his brow
Yet never heard we him complain,
hate'er his toll might he,
Nor wanted e'er q welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
Aud when our boy strength came, John
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought us 10 the yellow field
To share the toll with him.
But he went foremost in the swsth.
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plough that heaves the sod,
Or ships that sheer the main.
Now we must lead the van, john
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair.
And he'll not mind 1t, John, you know
At eve to tell US o'er
Those brave old days Of British times,
Our grandsires and the war.
heard you speak Of mother, Johni
'Tis gospel what you say,
That caring for the like Of us
Has turned her head so gray;
Yet, John, do remember well
when neiRhbors cal lied her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheafof grain.
Her lips we're cherry red, John!
Her cheeks were round aud iaifi
And like a ripened peach they awelled
Against her wayy hair;
Hel steps fell light as the leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel
She sang toyou and me.
khe had buxom arm, John
That welded we'll the rod,
Whene'er with wi. fil step our feet
The path forbidden trod
But to the heaven of her eye
We never looked In vain,
And evermore our yielding cry
Brought down the tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John
And we are what we are,
And little heed we day by day
Her fading cheek and hair.
And when beneath her faithful breust
The tides no longer stir,
fTis then, John, we the most shall feel
We had no friend like her
Since there can be no harm, John
Thus speaking soft ly o'er
The blessed names Of those ere long,
Shall welcome us nc more.
Nay, hide il not, for why shouldst thou
An honest tear disownt
The heart one day will lighter be
Remembering II has flown.
Yes, father's growing old, John
His eyes are getting dim,
And mothers treading softly down
The deep descent with him
But you and l are young and hale,
And each q stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as we can.
