The 2Sth ult, gives a romantic account
Of the finding in the pine forests on Cloy
net river two weeks ago, of young
man, formerly a clerk in a Broadway
jewelry store 1t appears that party
of explorers, while at supper. heard a
melodious voice singing; "No one to love,
none to caress.''
For few moments they were at a
loss TO discover from whence the melody
came, but on peering through thicket,
which lay to the north of them, they
discovered young man, apparently
about five ard twenty years old, ap-
proaching. The tall slender and rather
good looking fellow wore a Mackinac
coat, fur cap and German socks and
moccasins. On coming up to them he
passed the compliments of the evening
and was about to pass when the explorer
asked him if he wouldn't stop and take
cup Of coffee At first he declined the
civilty, but the request being urged he
finally consented to accept

About two years ago l made the ac-
quaintance Of Miss Henderson, an &C

name. She was about as sweet a girl,
so far as looks went, as ever the sun
shone upon. 1t is needless to tell you
that after years courtship, she consen-
ted to be my wife, All the preparations
for our marriage were made, but just one
week prior to the day on which we
were to be united, lady friend inform
ed my mcther that l was about to be
most terribly disappointed. Being asked
in what way, this lady handed note
from Misc Henderson to my mother, in
which she admitted falling from virtue
some three years before, and begging my
mother to disclose it to me through my
father. The letter further stated that
she, my bctro;hed, could never again see
me. This dreadful news, of course came
10 my ears in very short time after it
had been impaired to my mother. l

MORAL CHARACTER There is moth
ing which adds SO much to the beauty
and power Of man, az good moral char
ac;er. 1t ia his wealth-his influence
his life, 1t dignifes lin in every sta

glor'fes him at every period Of life
Such character is more to be desired
than everything else on earth. 1t makes
man free and independent. No servile
tool-no crouching sycophant no treach-
erous honor seeker ever bore such char
acter. The pure joys of truth and right
eousness never spring in such person
If young men but know how much a
good character would dignity and Iexalt

prospects, even in this life never should

and base born purposes of human ma
