A RoMANcE.-A correspondent,
writing from Charleston, ". Va,
to the New York World says: So,
rah J. Wnicmiller, u girl Of about
seventeen summers, who was con-
victcd of and sent to the peniten-
.iary for burninga a small log church
in one of the smaller counties Of
the State, having been pardoned
by Governor Jacobs, was released
last Friday. The manner in which
the girl got into the peniten-
tiary is peculiar She was enam.
ored of a young man who unfor-
tunately was charged with steal
ing a horse, and was put in Jail
to await trial therefor. With q
confidence in the charge against
her inamora and a devotion to
him that were remarkabl. she pro-
ceeded to commit the act for which
she was sent up, that she might
be with him in the penitcntiary.
But alas! the man was acquitted
last fall when his trial came off,
and he has been ever since, up to
the time Of the pardon, been en-
gagged in securing bis faithful
though rash sweetheart's release.
The facts of this notable ro-
nance are set forth in the petit
ton. The happy results may bo
imagined.

MATcH.MAKING.-Singular as it
may seem, the system Of match
making and marriage by adver-
tisement has become an earnest
reality in London, and is SO admit
ted by the respectable press Of
that city. The advertising is done
mainly through the columns Of .
weekly newspaper called the Mat
rimonial News, which is sold on
the street by the news boys, and
meets with rapid sales. The Pail
Mall Gazette thus speaks OF this
new branch Of journalism The
editor ofthat journal is the match
maker Of the nineteenth century,
and his paper appears to be estab-
lished on principles OF the most
business like description. In every
number the reader may review
some three hundred and fifty can
didates for marriage, and for one
shilling an advertiser may describe
his or her attractions, provided
the same be done in less than for
ty words. Questions Of difficulty
or delicacy referring to courtship
arc answered gratuitously in these
columns, privately for twelve
stamps, personally for FIVE shil-
ling; i fee Of five shillings is also
required one mouth after any
marriage is brought about by this
machinery. We are assured that
the business is bona fde, that con-
fdence and secrecy are strictly
observed, and, if we are to believe
the editor, hundreds Of marriages
have resulted from his labors."

MISTAKEN PHILANTHROPY.

MISTAKEN PHILANTHROPY
The turnkey of the prison in q
Swiss canton entered the cell of a
prisoner confined there for a misde-
mcanor, to take him jug of wa
ter. The prisoner darted out and
locked the door on his keeper. In
the passage he met the turkeys
wife whom he forced into another
cell, and then had he been q man Of
purely selfish instincts, he would
have secured safety by speedy
flight. But with an excess OF gene
rosity be determined to liberate the
other prisoners, and, unlocking
their cells in turn, offered them
their freedom.
But the prisoners whose SEN
tences had nearly expired, object
ed to commit a new offence in Or
der to escape the few days OF
punishment remaining. Far, there,
fore, from accepting the prot1ered
boon, they set upon their gene
rous friend, bound him, and releas-
ed the turnkey with his wife. The
philanthropist now occupies his
cell, no doubt rejecting in the bit
terness of his heart upon the in
gratitude Of man. The depths OF
moral cynicism which a young ar,
dent nature is likely to reach after
such an experience as this, will
probably prevent any repetition ot
his blunder under similar circum
stances in future.

ExAMPLE.-That hatchet story,
in which Washington and cherry
tree figured so largely, is doing
no good, and it ought to be sup
pressed by all means. A little
boy out West, inspired by the ex-
ample of virtue rewarded to be
found in that popular anecdote,
procured a hatchet and went
about cbopping fence rails, garden
gates, pigs backs and horses legs,
with perseverance that showed
how deeply the lesson had sunk
into his soul, and with a fervor
that had something Of love in it..
One day he chopped the tires ont
of q wheel belonging to his fathers
carriage, and when the old gen
tleman came home and saw the
ruin that had been made, he grew
angry, and demanded who had
accomplished it. Young hopeful,
bursting with q desire to tell the
truth, told his father that he had
done it with his little hatchet;
whereupon the lrate parent, who
had probably not read the story
in question, instead Of saying:
"Come to my arms; l had rather
lose twenty carriage wheels than
have a son Of mine tell a lie, "
caught him by the collar and
trounccd him soundly. The re-
suit was, that as soon as the boy
was released he made an attack
on his fathers legs with his
hatchet, and the latter is in the
hospital, and the former is in Jail.

THE NARROW GUAGE RAIL
ROAD.

We copy the following interesting
article from the Yorkville Enquirer.
Taken in connection with the contem-
plated Newbeny and Chester railroad,
it is important
On last Saturday, at Chester, tie
Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge
Railroad Company was organized by
the election Of d president and direc-
tors. 4. II Davega, of Chester, was
elected President. \ meeting is call
ed on the 7th of May. at Hickory Tav-
ern, n. G., OF the stockholders Of the
Carolina Narrow Gauge Railroad, and
of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Gauge Railroad. The object of these
meetings is to consolidate the two
roads
These $50 roads, when constructed
will b; yf incalculable value TO the
whole Of upper South Carolina and
western North Carolina. To York and
Chester Counties they will afford
facilities never before enjoyed. BY
reference to the map; it will be seen
that the projected roads will cross the
Richmond and Atlanta Airline Rail
road. the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad, and the West
ern Extension Of the North Carolina
Railroad. BY the Richmond and At
lauta Railroad We will be put in direct
communication with Spartanburg and
Greenville, in this State, and wit!i At
lanta. Georgia. on the west, aud with
Charlotte, n. c., on the east. by
means of the Wilmington: Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad. We will be
brought in close communication with
Shelby, Rutherford, Charlotte and
Wilmington.
The Westera Extension Of the
North Carolina Railroad will enable
us to communicate speedily with Sails
bury on the cast, and Morgautol;,
AShcyille and East Tenue>Ssee, Ga the
West. This road seems TO be the
very thing that both South Carolina
and Western North Carolina need.
South Carolina ncc,}s grain, and that
portion Of North Carolina through
which this road passes. as we'll as that
part of Tennessee whici! lies near its
terminus. needs market Cor its grain.
The facilities Of lAceting these wants
will be supplied to both sections by
this road. 1t is easy to see that it
will inflse new life into b"tn sections
of the country.
Fully impressed with the great
Importance Of this projected road. the
company is determined to build it as
speedily as possible. The Carolina
Narrow Gauge and the Chester aud
Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroads will,
in all probability. be consolidated as
soon as the law will allow them: and
the work Of construction be Immediate
ly commenced. The people Of Chester
county, on the 23d instant. will vote
on the question Of 4 county subscrlp-
ton of one hundred thousand dollars.
This motto looks like business. In
fact, the motto Of the company is busi-
ness-not talk. 1t intends 10 build the
road, and that as soon as the nature of
the case Will admit.

A BEAUTIFUL RETROSPECT
When the summer day of youth is
slowly wasting away into the night
fall Of age, and the shadows Of the
past year grow deeper and deeper
as life wears to close,it is pleasant
to look back through the vlstas OF
time upon the joys and sorrows of
early years. If we have. a home
to shelter, or hearts to rejoice with
Us, and friends who have been
gathering around our freside, then
the rough places Of our wayfaring
will be worn and smoothed away
in the twilight of life, while the
bright sunny spots we have pass:
ed through will grow brighterand
more beautiful. Happy indeed,
are those whose intercourse with
the world has not changed the
course Of their nolicr feeling, or
broken those nusical chords ofthe
heart whose vibrations are so
melodious, so tender and so touch
ing in the evening Of age.

The Treasury Department has com:
menced paying the cotton claims filed
under the Act of May Is, 1872. Over
1860 claims have been presented, cov-
ering over s16,9O0:0oO. More than
one-hale of them will be rejected on
account of insufficient proof. About
100000 of the cotton fund now
remains in the Treasury. The claims
being paid are for cotton seized by the
Government agents after the 3Oth Of
June, 1865. The Act Of May Is,
1872, provided that all these claims
should be fled within SIX months, and
therefor expired on the 18th of Nov
ember. Quite a large number of
claims have been filed since the expira-
tion of the law, and they must be
thrown out, as all efforts to have Con-
gress extend the time failed.
