Orryille was one Of those sober little
American towns which a certain class

scene Of their romances, and which
frequently lie asleep for so long peri
I'd Of time that il isa positive blessing
when something out Of the ordinary
course Of events happens, tn awake
them out of their state of lethargy.
OrvAr had been asleep for almost
twelve year,, when an event occurred
which. together with the attendant in
ci.lents. completely aroused the whole
town.
Orrville was situated on Lake Wa.
mona, one Of the most charming little
sheets Of water in our inland States.
In n secluded valley, shut out, as il
were, from all the rest Of the world by
tho surrounding hills, with solitary
majestic mountain keeping silent vigil
over the sIumbcriny scene, lay the
beautiful lake, and on it, margin, the
miniature town. The spot was all that
= poet might fancy, or a romantic
lover sigh for; and when there was ad-
vcrtised "A new summer resort, the
Orrville House ut Orrville," with eve
ry accommodation, &C., &C.. it is not
surprising that many persons. who

Among the earlier guests at theOrr-
willie House, were Charles Lacy, tai
cntcd young barrister oflimited means,
Col. Harris, and his niec'. Matte
Harris, and a Mr.. Van Haven, a
handsome young merchant Of New
York.
Charles Lacy and Matte Harris had
been playmates in their childhood; but
the former had removed from his ma
tive place in his fifteenth year. and
never met the sweetheart Of his boy
ish days until time had transformed
him into the full statue Of man. Both
we're SO completely changed, that they
met at Onville ms entire strangers, and
were only recognizable to one another
BY the mention OF their names and
places Of residence. The acquaintance
thus renewed. ripened into ardent
lore, and Charles Lacy considered
himscl1the lucki S; fellow on earth.
