where along The line Of the n p, met at ST.
Paul, last sumner, Susie Z. Euglcfrcit, girl
Of fifteen, daughter OF German settler liv-
ilg near Kettle River, ana an Intimacy sprung
no between them. They correspond for a
while, but Que Of Henry's letters happening to
fall into the hands OF Susie brother Wilhelm,
there was big explosion on the part of her
father aud mother, who in strong language de-
nounced the cunnlug lover aud informed her
that the thing must be stopped at once. And
is they thought, 1t was. \ few months ago.
however, Susie was missed from the breakfast
table, and on searching her room It was aScer
that her wardrobe had gone with her. There
was now real alarm in the family, and the
brother was sent 10 look for the lost girl. He
wandered about for Dumbel of days without
finding his missing sister, nor was she heard
from until few weeks ago, when Il lumber
man informed the family there was young
couple living in new built log cabin on ket
tie river some five or SIX milcs above its Gu
trance into tie St. Crlx.
From this umb2lman'S description Of the
pair the family were satisfied it was Susie aud
her lover and the father and brother resolved
to pay them visit. This they did the follow
lug day, and were surprised TO hud the ruua-
way pair living comfortably, but occupying
divided into two appointments, aud furnished
comfortably. On asking why there were two
roouls, Bretlaudt said they were not welded
yet, and that he had respected his intended
enough to show her his designs We're houora-
be- The reason the welded knot had not been
,yd was owing to the circumstance that the
minister who was to marry thcm had failed to
come to their home as he had promised to do, ,aud
Susie being under age, was afraid to leave the
house to get married, lest her parents should
capture and send her to some Cincinnati rcla-
llyv>, nhich was something she much dreaded,
ami which her mother bad repeatedly threat
crcd Thus they were forced to live under
Que roof hut did so viruously. After some
persuasion on the part of the girls brother,
;sho instantly recognized the true gentleman iu
BrelMdt, the old man 'caved in and gave
his consent to the union Of the lovers. 1t was
then resolved that the marriage should take
pace the following Sunday at Suslc's home.
In convcr>ing with the forgiven lv>r, Gil
Mr.. Engcilvit l>certancd that Susie, after
the discovery of their secret correspondence,
had managed to get letter to her intended,
who, having previously selected a quarter sec
ton OF land, went TO work ard put up his cab
in and furnished it. When al was ready he
went for Susie, ard she, being apprlsed that
the minister to unite them was to be on hand
at their future home in the wilds, jumped
aboard temporary sled Henry had provided,
aud was drawn by him somc eight miles to
their forest residence. On arriving there, the
minister not being on haud, she wept bitterly
and wanted to go back, but Henry assuagcd d
Eer grief and proposed the Scparatc-room bust
hess, to which she acccded.
The pair were duly married at the residence
Of the girls parents on the following Sunday,
and now they, as we'll as their connexions, are
happy.
There is good deal Of romance in this little
affair but when the reader understands that
our hero drew for over eleven miles, 90 snow
Slcd the boards which divided his room from
that of the girl, he has since made bis wife, Il
principle of purity of heart and houor shines ont
that sparLles diamond-iikc and makes the mat
ter almost sublime We doubt if there Is anotE-
er such example OF ''love in the bush on re-
cord. .-Phrladophia North -1nan1cCn.
