/ from Inc Troy Times, 9th.
Two years ago young lady who shall
be, Ike the pure and radiant maiden
whom the angels named Lenore, nameless
there foreyermore, resided in the upper
part of the city. She had bevy of devoted
admirers who sought to gain her favor.
Not having much of the coquette in her
composition she did not give smile for
smile to all, but chose one of her admirers
on whom she lavlshed all her love- OF
course the fortunate male was happy in
the love of one SO beautiful in feature and
| mind, and sought by every device known
| 10 lovers TO make himself more
worthy OF his treasure. He was her con.
SAINT attendant at all places CT public re-
sort and the gossips soon began to whiep-
er that they were engaged-a whisper to
which the coloung Of fact was speedily
given by the appearance of ring on GER
| tain finger on one Of the lady's hands Her
parents about this time for business rea-
| sons removed to the western nart Of tina
State, and the lovers were separated They
parted with the usual number OF assurances
Of everlasting fidelity, which probably
| meant as much and no more than those
| assurances generally mean. They yera
| lovers, engaged to be married, and those
| who have been in that condition can easily
/
not yet been in love and parted with the
idols OF their hearts ought not to know
| what occurred at the parting. Each
| pledged the other to write frequent letters,
and thus by means of the facilities afforded
! by our obliging Uncle Samuel they hoped
| TO keep alive their love fer each other.
| According to the laws of etiquette the gen.
| tleman wrote the first Of these tender mis-.
| sIyes and there the correspondence on his
part ceased, the now and why of which
will be more fully detailed below. The
young lady In due course of time
| received the letter and answered it.
| But III directing it she forgot to put the
street ana number of her lovers residence
upon the envelope, and by mistake on
| the part Of the letter carrier the letter was
delivered. not to the person for whom it
was intended, but TO another with the same
name This last mentioned individual was
nightly surprised ct the receipt of the
missiye, but as he rather liked tie manner
IN which 1t was written, he concluded to
cOniscate all such communications as
might be lndited in future by the young
lady. So he wrote reply, in which he
protested his love in terms as strong as
had the original lover. aud 10 guard against
mistakes he informed the fair correspond
ent that he had changed bis residence He
gave the name OF the street aud the nul..-
Der of the house in which he hveo,
and particularly requested the lady
TO direct her letters there. as he had reason
| to believe that another person Of the same
name was living in Troy. The correspond
ence was continued until few weeks ago,
when the person who had received the let
ters intended for another concluded to visit
the fair unknown Ito him at least) and ex.
pose his acts. He did so, but instead of
reproaches which he had expected, mild
words of reproof were only uttered, and
but few of these. The lady seemed to like
him, and he undoubtedly worshipped her.
The upshot OF the matter was that the two
were married some days ago. The first
lover, 1t is said, thinks of arraigning the
postoflice department for inefficiency
We end this recital in the customary man
ner: Sich is life.
