A ROMANCE IN HIGH LlFE.-At the gam
ing table the Duke of Richmond incurred a
debt OF honor to Lord Cadogan, which he was
unable to pay, and it was agreed that his son,
a lad OF fifteen, who bore the title Of Earl of
March, should marry the still younger daugh-
ter of Lord Cadogan. The boy was sent Tor
from school aud the girl from the Dursery; a
clergyman was in attendance, and the children
we're told that they were 70 be married upon
the spot The girl had nothing to say; the boy
cried out, They surely are not going to marry
NE to that dowdyl" But married they we're,
A post chaise was at the door; the bridegroom
was packed off With bis tutor to make the
grand tour, and the bride was sent back to her
mother. Lord March remained abroad for sew
eral years, after which he returned to London,
wel.educted, handsome yonng man, but in
no haste to meet his wife, whom he had never
seen except upon the occasion Of their hasty
marriage. So he tarried in London to amuse
himself One night at the opera his attention
was attracted to beautiful young lady in the
boxes. "Who is that p he asked of gen.
tleman besides him. ''You must be a stran-
ger 10 London, was the reply mot to know
the toast of the towu, the beautiful Lady
March," The Earl went straight to the box,
announced himself, and claimed his bride. The
two fell in love with each other on the spot,
and lived long and happily together; and when
the husband died she also died of a broken
heart within few months. Tile GALAXY.

CHARMING ToILRTTEs. The following toll
cites have just been flushed by one of our best
faisseurs, says Paris correspondent: "The
first is made of silver gray silk and blue Sic
ilieune; the skirt OF the former is trimmed 10
front with seam gathered f1unces; behind the
four breadths are plated very closely up at
each seam, so as to form wide perpendicular
bouilones. This trimming, which is framed 10
aud flushed off with band of white guipure
aud row of lace insertion, does not reach to
the bottom of the traiD. this being left quite
plain. This casaque is in blue SicilienDe, and
has long basques which are caught back, so as
to show liplng of silver-gray silk. The bodice
is plain, with the exception of sort of small
hood in gray silk edged with blue fringe, which
is attached to the back of the ruff. The sleeves
are close fitting, with three fris OF gray silk at
the wrist, lraversed by band of guipure lace
and fringe. The other toilette is made of
muize- -colored faile. Three wide hounces dec
crate the tablier, each surmounted by ruch
lug of cerise foulard. The train, which is plain,
forms wide revers on each side, that are but
toned back with large red silk buttons. The
bodice has short, close fitting basques. At the
throat wide plaid scarf is folded round the
opening. The scarf passes under the bodice
aud hangs down in two ends on the lett side
decidedly novel arrangement. The sleeves
have four plated frils, placed two up and two
down, and divided by, a smaller plaid scarf
knotted round the arm

A SWEET TALE.-Among the passengers
who came down the Manassas road one day
last week and stopped for while iu our village
was large portly gentleman, with a mild aud
benevolent counteoance. The gentleman was
accompanied by his family and large Saratoga
trunk. The said trunk contained, besides the
family wearing apparel, a large jar of blackber-
ry jam. The baggage masters on all our rail
roads are celebrated for the celebrity with which
they dispatch business in their own peculiar
line; so, when the train arrived here, the
"Smasher" poised the truck above his head
and heaved it gently out upon the platform,
whence is was transferred into the ticket Office.
The unsuspectiog family followed and the mild,
benevolent gentleman opened it to get some.
thing from within. Then change spread
over his placid countenance when he saw that
the jar had bursted aud the jam gone 90 40

HISTORICAL REMINIscENCE.-The oppo-
nents of duelling find an illustration most
apropos in the conduct of Washington towards
MIR. Payne, an ancestor of one of the gentle
men engaged 10 the late difficulty. 1n 1854
when Washington, in command of the Vlr-
ginla Rangers, was waiting at Alexandria the
arrival Of Braddock's forces, an exciting elec-
tion contest occurred between Mr.. Fairfax and
Mr. Payoe for the House of Burgesses. Wash
iDgton supported Fairfax with much Zeal, aud
high words passing between him and Payne in
the market square at Alexandria, Payne struck
Washington blow which brought him to the
earth. The troops rushed from their barracks
and would have made short work Of Payne had
not Washington pscifed them, assuring them
that he knew the proper course to take In the
premises Duels were not then uDder the ban
Of public opinion.
All supposed that a fight was imminent.
Next morning. however, Washington sent for
Payne and when the latter entered the roou
he saw on the table. not pistols but decanter
of wine and two glasses Mr.. Payne, said
Washington, ITO err is human. | was wrong
yesterday, but il you have had sufficient satis-
faction, let US be friends" Weems relates that
from that day Washington was Paynes idea
of true manhood. The msgnanimity of Wash
iugtou, who was the best shot in Virginia will
be better appreciated when it is recollected
that at that time there was cloud upon his
military prowess. as he had been a few months
before compelled By the French to capitulate at
Fort Necessity, and had as yet done nothing to
redeem bis fame.
