A ROMANTIC SToRY.-One of the stories that
begun during the war has just reached a very
interesting point. Ii Is located in Tennessee
An old gentle man named Tompkins, who lived
at Lebanon, had pretty daughter, and de-
clared she should marry Henry Hunt or she
should never have $40 900 in cash which he bad
buried out OF sight of the impending Federals
she had set her heart on a marriage with one
Hamilton; but, like dutiful daughter and in
view Of the cash mentioned, she accepted Hem
~, and the marriage was consummated. In
due timed Tempkins died, and having diyulged
to the lily matched pair the place where the
money was, they dug ii up and were rich. Mrs.
Hunt, however, was afraid that robbers might
get the money, and SO she prevailed upon Hen
~ to put 1t all In her trunk, where ii might be
safe. The usual result: The other day Mrs.
Hunt took the trunk and went to Nashville
There she met her first best admirer, Hamilton :.
and the two went away together, and since
then Henry has not seen the wife or morey
though he has searched for them diligently a
great deal has been said before to-day about
woman's devotion under the most discouragipg
circumstances. Need we make the moral Of
this touching story palmer?
