Late in the afternoon our party dispersed, and
we accepted an invitation to Mrs. Jarrctt's,
near the bridge, where few young persons
gathered in, and those who were apt to in

dance, when we retired and were soon lost in

We returned a different route, and met with

A ROMANCE IN REAL L1rE.-Many years
ago the daughter of an English barrister in
high practice clopcd with her fathers coach,
man, much to the indignation of the offended
parent, who vowed that he would neither ad-
NIT the inconsidcratc one to the shelter of his
roof again nor allow her even the proverbial
shilling. Mr.. and Mrs. S settled in the
Island of Jersey, and convinced that the father
would not relcnt, worked night and day for the
maintenance of an evcr-increasing family.
The husband, ii appears, obtained employment
as a aborcr, earning twelve shillings per week,
and the wife kept small shop. Three weeks
since, as the CT dcront groom was digging in
potato field, the solicitor of his wlte's father
touched him on the shoulder and informed him
of tue death of the, till then, incxorable bar
rister who however had at last rcIcntcd, and
had left each of his three daughters onc-third
of sum of $4,000, besides other (landed)
property.

EXCUSED FOR A CAUSE Capt. Tom Bug
bee was out with his company on detached du-
ty. In fact, he had two companies under his
command. He had with him small brass
Napoleon and an ambulance. Captain Tom
was strict disciplinarian, but q convivial fel-
low withal, and fond of creature comforts, not
many of which were obtainable in the wild
country through which he was marching. The
column had just left the small hamlet of Jas
pers Cross Roads, below Jacksonville, when
the Captain observed that one of the 'rums
was not beaten, and he directed lieutenant to
inquire the cause. The lieutenant sought the
DELINQUENT, and demanded to know why lie
was not beating time. The fellow nodded mys-
teriously and whispered into the officers ear :
'sPye got a pair of roasted chickens and two
bottles of whiskey in my drum; and chicken
and bottle are for the Captain" The lieu
