A Romantic Story

Many Of our readers will remem
Der that about ten years ago {
young lady of a New York village
eloped with a railroad engineer
named Niles. The fact of her hav
ing been a belle caused the matter
to assume great interest, and il
was a long time before gossipers
ceased to refer to it. 1t is, there
fore, but recently that the life she
led after having placed her de-
pendence on Niles has come to
light. When they left Auburn
they went to Cleveland, Ohio, but
being pursued by an infuriated
brother they were obliged to leave.
They went to Toledo, where the
young woman arrayed herself in
male attire. She passed her
brother, who had followed them
there also, several times. And af-
ter having satisfied herself that
he had given up the search, she,
with her husband, for they were
then married, went to Nashville.
The war had then broke out. and
Niles was employed on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad as
engineer. Having never thrown
away her male attire, his wife
worked beside him in the capacity
OF fireman. In 1862, nearChatta-
nooga, a shot from scout infic-
ted serious wound upon the en-
gineer, and he was taken to the gov.
ernment hospital at Murlreesboro,
Tennessee. His wife followed and
to her careful nursing Niles owes
his life. When sufficiently recov-
cred to endure the hardships of
travelling, they returned to Cleve-
land. A few months later the al
legged gold discoveries at Man
dock, Canada, attracted them
thither, and the wife accompanied
her husband, still in masculine
garments. The vicissitudes OF her
career, exposed to hardships and
accidents, were too severe, howev-
er, and few weeks since she
died at Cleveland, after q brief
illness. Niles is now in New
York, and wherever reference is
made to the heroic devotion of
his wife, the tears instinctively
trickle down bis face.

The LOrillards,

The above gents, who have
drawn a great amount of money
that has aided to enrich them,
from the South, on being asked by
an Atlanta merchant to subscribe
for the picture of General R. E.
Lee, for the benefit of the Lee
Monumental Association, an
swered:
"Sir, l would not permit the
picture of such & traitor and Reb-
el to come into my house, if l
knew it-much less to encourage
the building OF a monument to his
memory by paying my money for
it. Think it is an insult for you
to do such a thing"
The Albanian asked Mr.. Lorill-
ard if he did not care for the
Southern trade. To which he re-
piled, that he would not give one
cent for it.
, The Atlanta Sun says =
"Would it not be good idea for
our merchants, in ordering goods
in that line to remember this in.
suit to our section? The Lorill-
ards have striven harder than any
other house of its class to obtain
our trade, aud have grown rich
upon it. Hardly house through
out the country but has a aashy
card of those men hanging in their
stores as an advertisement for
their goods"

A Lawyer Astounded.

A prominent legal gentleman
of this city procured pass on one
of our street railroads last week,
but before he had an opportunity
to use it, be discovered that he had
lost it. Suspecting that some one
had stolen it, he went to the of
fee of the railroad company, in,
formed the officials Of lis suspi.
cions and requested them to have
any one who should present the
pass on the street cars arrested.
Orders were accordingly issued to
all the conductors on the line to
keep a sharp lookout for the miss
ing ticket. A couple of days af-
terwards, while searching through
some papers iD his office, the legal
gentleman found the missing tick
et,- and while riding home On acar
presented it to the conductor, who
examined it closely. He immedi-
ately collared the astonished men,
Der of the bar, and in reply to
question as to what he meant by
seizing him, remarked that he had
been looking for the man who had
stolen that ticket for some days
past. In vain the legal gentleman
endeavored to explain that he was
the rightful owner of the pass; the
conductor would not believe him.
He said he had seen good deal
of human nature and knew an
honest man when he met him.
On the return trip he brought his
prisoner back with him and took
him TO the police station where be

Temperance.
For I'll. Fayetteville Observe.

For the Fayetteville Observer
1t devolves upon US to maintain
the love of Temperance among
the friends of our Institution. 1t
is not enough that we desire sim.
ply, the welfare of our cause. The
decline of intemperance at the
present time, is by no means a
surety that our honored brother
hood will continue to perform its
high behest. We must know
what honest labor means and we
must allow the pure principles of
Temperance to be the custodians
of our constant efforts, to make
happiness the cherished guest of
our country. The VOWS We have
taken, bind us to a lifelong effort
in our glorious undertaking.
When a man joins q temperance
society, be does it against The foes
of virtue and these foes are to a.
great extent hidden IN his own,
heart. So ifhe does not make in
tegrity his handspring, lie will |;
give bis foes a chance to repossess
him; and this done, folly laughs
prudence to scorn, and virtue ST.
lently vetires that vice may oc-
cupy the man. Self-shame would
condemn such men, and still ele.
vate the principles of honor ; but
devilish pride will put praise
where shame ought to be; and
thus set up the violator and put
down the violated. If we then
would benefit our people, we should
hold them to our constitution; and
we make no stronger effort to do
so than by strict conformity to
it ourselves.
Unless we continue to govern
Alright, we may yet be-
lost to the blessed virtue of not
getting drunk, and sink to slavery
under the yoke of sanguinary
drunkenness. What we do in our
lodges is the voluntary work OF
Dur own hearts and hands. If
praise or shame succeed, it will be
directed TO ourselves We Drav
1ur success may always follow the
united efforts of religion and viz
tue.
A continued pressing in the d.
-ection of the moral liberties to-
which every well established IN
'titution is to attain.
