LOVES OF LOUISE AND LORNE.


RIVAL, AND SETS HIM UP AS A TAVERN
KEEPER.
An Edinburgh correspondent of the N. Y.
World writes:--
Men and women whom fortune has
placed in such situation that in worldly
matters they are far above the ordinary run
of mankind, whose joys and sorrows, loves
and hates, find their be-all and end-al in the
circumstances of everyday life, can
not escape from their human nature, and
therefore are often obliged to suffer
more than other folks, simply
because they cannot do what
they want to do, even when their desires are
for the most natural and commonplace of
things Mary Queen of Scots could not even
live, since Elizabeth hated without having
cause to fear, her. Arabella Stuart could not
live quietly with her husband, Mr.. Seymour,
because she was royalty connected Amy
Robsart was in the Earl of Leicester's way to
advancement, and therefore she had to die at
Cumnor Hall. History is full of the sorrows
of royal houses-sorrows which have at
tracted the sympathy of commoners, because
they, too, could feel similar ones, and around
which haze of romance has ever fingered,
because they are SO far removed from the
troubles of ordinary beings.
1t seems that, in this particular, history is
now repeating itself in the approaching mar
riage of the reluctant Princess Louise to the
Marquis of Lorne. The house from which she
is sprung is not particularly noted for fiery
passions, or even for any peculiar tendency
towards romance, and it may be that the
amiable Princess will forget the sorrows of
her youth as time goes on and she becomes
the mother of large and charming family;
but the apathy of age is no recompense for
the heart -sufferings of early life, which men,
indeed, forget, but which often embitter a
womans whole existence, although as a wife
she may endeavor to forget them, and as a
mother new life may open to her, and new
interests distract her thoughts from memories
of the dead, irrevocable past.
AS to the Princess herself, she is an amia-
BILE woman who, being twenty-five years of
age, has already passed the period when a
great passion can be formed, especially when,
as seems to be the case, q true and tender
attachment has to be forgotten, and one has

the story OF his life. He is OF ancient family, but
one which is not now 80 wealthy as once it was,

OF its members have occupied the highest offices.
So you it wouldn't have been at all beneath
the dignity of Prince Albert's daughter to marry
him, and the Queen would never have interfered
with the affair at all but for her ab0minable per-
verseness. as think it, and II intermeddling
people had not come between the two they would
have been married four years ago, and she would
have been happy, too for the Baron is one Of the
tenderest OF men, and it's a shame that his hopes
should have been bIIghted as they have been: The
