A Real Romance.

Often of late, I have heard persons inquire
about Lady Blanche Murphy, who is a con-
tributor to some OF the city magazines. They
want to know whether she lives here: wheth-
er she is really a lady; and whether she writes
for pleasure or from necessity. Lady Blanche
Murphy is daughter of the Earl OF Ellsmere.
Two years or more ago, she tell in love most
Economically, with her fathers organist, who
bears the rather prosaic patronymic, Murphy.
He played so admirably in her fathers pri
vate chapel, that he quite won her heart: and
he, it seems. had meanwhile become desper-
ately enamored of her. They had clandes-
tine interviews, in which they breathed out
Iheir souls to one another, knowing that the
Earl would never sanction SO unequal an at
tachment. Their sole remedy was elope-
ment; and elopement and marriage speedily
followed. The nobleman, as may be inferred
was furious; vowed he would never forgive
either of them in this world or the next. They
came TO this country and city, and here he
secured position as organist in one of the
Catholic churches, both he and she being of
the Roman faith. She undertook literature,
to increase their slender income, and has sue
ceeded quite well. Though poor, they are
contented, Lady Blanche preterring poverty
with the man she loves, to luxury with any
other.
Within few months, I understand the
Earl has so far relented As to offer to receive his
daughter back, and forgive her mesalliance, if
she would consent to leaving her husband.
Like true woman, she rejects such over
lures with scorn aud Indignation. So the
matter finally rests, The Earl continues
mad and the welded lovers remain mutually
satisfied, resolved to cling together, so far as
| they are concerned, until Gabriel performs
that apocryphal and final solo on the cornet-a-
piston, or any other wind instrument that
| happens to be convenient. -,
When we say that Lady Blanche is pc
tite, pretty, interesting, and accomplished
blonde, the romance of the thing is complete,
and fully equals any fiction she may indite
for the pages of the Galaxy.-N. Y. Cor. Bos
ton Times.

LADY HOLLAND AND HER CAPRICEs.-
Lord Holland was all kindness and cultivated
intelligence, while Lady Holland undoubtedly
mingled with her many kind and charming
qualities good deal of that tyranny which
old-fashioned poets were fond of celebrating
as among the prerogatives and graces OF the
ladies whose praise they sang. 1T must have
been curious" says the author OF these vol
umes, ''to see her coolly order about the clev-
er men of the day who were accustomed to
being courted by Others 1t must occasion
ally have been something rather more than
curious. In the midst Of Macaulay's most
overwhelming flow of talk and anecdote she
would tap on the table with her fan, and say,
''Now, Macaulay, we have had enough of
this. Give us something else." Once she
was a little too imperative in tone when issu-
ing her commands to Sydney Smith. She
said rather peremptorily, "Sydney, ring the
bell" ooh yes" he answered, ''and shall 1
sweep the room?" While Moore was. en-
gagged in preparing his Life of Sheridan. he
was dining ouce at Holland house, and sat
next the hostess. She kindly remarked to
him, ''This will be dull book of yours, this
Sheridan fear" To Lord Dorchester she
said once, 81 am sorry to hear that you are
going to publish poem. Can't you suppress
lit?" Her friendly factotum, Allen, who usu
ally sat at the bottom of the table and carved
for her., she was capt to fidget'' by giving Aim
directions until he sometimes lost patience
and "would assert his independence by lay
ing down the knife and fork and telling Ler
she bad better do it herself" Mr.. Chorley's
recently published memoirs contain an ami S.
ing story OF the manner in which the late
comte D Orsay, then young man, resented
| what he considered vexatious caprice OF La
dy Holland. He sat next her at dinner, aud
IL ho hor Vu1, Job, 1oc g.,
and restored to her. Then she let fall bel
handkerchief, then her knife, then her fork
and so on. At last D'Orsay lost patience
and, calling to one of the footmen, he request
ed in an audible tone that his plate might be
laid upon the floor, adding, II shall finish my
dinner there, as it will be more convenient tt

COUPON, the corpulent banker, was stand
ing on Wall street one hot day in August
"wiping the servile drops from off his brow,
when ragged, but sharp-eyed news-boy ac-
costed hin, with, please sir. tell me the time.
Coupon lugged out his time-piece, and look
ing benignly down on his interocuter, re-
sponded, 'just two o'clock. +" CAL right, Ole

gether for a run, You can sell out for soaI

ey raised his cane, and making frantic rush
for his tormentor, nearly fell over friend
who was coming up the street. "Heilo, Cou
pom, what's the matter" said the other
''Matterr' said Coupon, putting with hea
and anger; "Why, one of those newsboy
asked me the time, and when. I told him twt
o'clock, the impudent rascal said might sci
ont for soap grease at three" ''Don't be in
hurry" was the malicious response, ''It's on

minutes to do it in. Don't hurry"

THE DANGERS OF New YORK STREETS.
"A meek, timid little friend of mine is COM

Wednesday, IN open day on Sixtieth street,
She left the car and was hurrying to her heme
a block away, when, as nearly as she canre-
collect, decent!y-appearing man swiftly PISS
ed her, turned and confronted her, and seized
sable bon hanging loosely on her shoulders
and a fat little porte-monnaie she carried in
her hand. She was rudely turnt d round dice
or twice, but finally rallied on lamp-pot,
only to find, however, when she got the Use
of her eyes, that the highwayman was gole.
It's getting to be dangerous to wear any sort
of valuables on the street. Another victim
of these miscreants. young lady from Ha-
lem, while waiting for car on Third avenm,
near Fortieth street, with no other protection
than brother of II years old, was suddenly
Mortified by terrific tTitch in the ear, an1a
valuable diamond was torn out, disfgurin,

Ice.CroWned

The naked woods at eventide
Stood shiveri6g in freezing rain,
And all night long from side to side
Held up their burdened arms in vain.
But with the morning still and fair
They stood TRANSPORTED in the sun;
The weights at night so hard to bear
Had turned to diamonds every one.
The voice of God is in the trees;
Oh! burdened soul aud sorely tried,
The weights That drag thee to Thy knees
Tomorrow shall be glorified;
Shall shine forever in the light
Which hath no need of moon or sun;
Then trust his grace who through the night
Shall keep his children every one.
