The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1872-03-14
A CANADIAN ROMANCE.

in the last edition of the "Peerage and
Baronetage' of England refers to one Of
the humblest stations in American life
Among the travellers brought by stage
coach to tavern of the village of Start
ford, Canada, many years ago, was a
young man Of rather bOyish countenance
but not undignifed bearing, who, at
tracted by the pleasant scenery of the
place, and its opportunities for fishing
aud hunting, fingered on at the inn
many weeks beyond his apparent first
intention. Known as Stirling, and be.
lieved to be from England, he was for
some time credited only with the whim
OF free and easy young tourist enjoy
ing an interval of rural Incidence be-
tween city sightseeing; but at last the
true reason Of his delay was discovered.
Immediately across the road from the
tavern stood the cozy cottage and spark,
ling forge of the village blacksmith,
Folsom, whose only daughter was a girl
Of extraordinary beauty and the belle of
the place, From spending certain idle
hours in the smithy, the young stranger
had contracted quite an intimacy with
the smith, and thus, by degrees, formed
an acquaintance with the family; and a
fortnight's incidental association with
the beautiful daughter was what had
caused the weeks Of his stay in STRAIT
ford tolengther, unnoticed, into months.
In short, this English youth upon his
travels fell in love to depth deeper
than all tlirtations with the blacksmith's s
child, and was manly enough to confess
as much to her and her father The lat
ter he frankly told that his feeling in tho
matter had become much stronger and
