4 ROMANTIC STORY.

Troy Press: The following very ro-
mantle story is but the substance of what
happened in our own city many years
ago. The characters that appear as
principals have passed away, but their
descendants yet live among us and occu-
Ply honorable positions in society. Two
young men who had passed through col
lege and graduated with honor were
studying medicine. They were fast
friends and were almost inseparablo
They entered society together, and were
well received in the best houses. They
were together one evening at a reception
III one of the wealthiest mansions of the
city, when new star appeared IL the
person Of q niece of the hostess, who had
come from Massachusetts,. She was
handsome, and reports agree in saying
that she was as good as she was pretty.
Both OF the medical students were snit-
ten, and for the first time in their lives n
feeling Of estrangement came between
men were essentially different. One was
frank and open as the day, while the
other was taciturn and reserved. Both
paid court to the lady, but she soon
manifested n choic for the more rank
character, and they became engaged.
The defeated suitor seemed to bear his
disappointment resignedly. In time the
lady went home, and the successful
snitor went abroad to complete his
studies. While absent letters were re-
ceiyed by the girl concerning her lover
which created the feeling that he was
false to her, and finally one Game in his
own hand writing bidding her farewell,
and stating that he was to be married to
a lady of rank. This proved almost q
deathblow to the girl, but she soon raj
lied and sought in every way to conceal
the traces of grief. The defeated suitor
was at hand and again profered his
homage, and finally, in a fit of pique, she
married him. Had this been the finale
of the story there would be no romance.
It was not long after the wedding before
the lover returned. He could not be
made to believe that the one he loved
Was false by nature. He reasoned that
there was cause for her change, and, like
sensible man, he commenced the task
of anraveling the mystery. After much
trouble he obtained an interview with the
wife in the absence of her husband and
as an answer to his upbraidings she
handed him his letters of remuneration.
She was happier than she had been in
many days when she learned that the
letter was forgery, and that the lover
had always been true to her. She at
once renouncod her husband, and soon
opportunity offered and she procured a
divorce, and was united to her first and
only love. The husband ard wife settled
down III this city, and here he enjoyed a
long and successful career, and when he
died, full of years and honor, he was
surrounded by his wife and family. The
false friend who, by his wicked machina-
tons, had wrought so much sorrow,
removed to Lansingburg, where he be.
came physician of note. He afterward
remarked, and his poaterity o-day
occupy honored positions in the State.
/ In two family Bibles in this city the
marriages are recorded among the family
archives.

SIR: Trust God in ell things, and
work by His means. submit that as
sassination is not among these. You
greatly mistake in supposing Davis of
any special consequence. The monster
that is devouring us is slavery-the pas
sion for using the Ignorant and simple,
not for thejs own good, but for ours
alone. Were this out of our blood, We
should very soon see the Rebellion crum-
BILE, and, as it is, the war will last on
longer than we need its trying and ulti-
nately purifying influence. Yours,
HORACE GREELEY.

Miss Katie L. with Mr.. S. r. Greene, OF Ian

and old acquaintance of the family filled the
parlors. At IL o'clock A. NJ. the bridal party
entered, taking their stand Immediately un-
der beautiful swinging garland of green,
decorated with flowers, which also enwreathed
the pictures while exquisite house plants
tastefully arranged in other parts of the room
added more beauty and brlliancy to the
scene. The ceremony was performed in
very impressive manner by the Rev. Mr.
Case, of the M. E. Church, and the solemn
and interesting compact was sealed in the
customary manner. The brides toilet was
plum colored silk, en- train with elegant, white
thread lace, ruchings, natural flowers, and
elegant coral jewery. 1t is useless for me to
speak of the brides loneliness, as my feeble
pen is inadequate to express it, The groom
was attired IN the customary suit of black,
with button>hole bouquet, not inappropriate
to the occasion. The ceremony was followed
by hearty congratulations, with which the
newly welded pair were completely over
whelmed; after which the dining room was
thrown open displaying an excellent collation.

The presents were numerous, handsome and
in very good taste. The wedding was one of

Dubuque where they will remain for a brief
period. and will proceed to Lancaster, where
they will locate. In connection we would say
that Mr. Greene didn't seem exceedingly green
in making his selection, and while Plattevile

Good Advice to Parents.

Many parents labor under the mistaken
impression that their children must all pass
through the ordeal known as children's dis.
eases, as sometimes they express it, the soon
err the better. child is no more subject TO
disease Tin fact less sol than an adult if the
proper precautions are taken to regulate its
diet and keep the system cleansed by proper
medicines. By this we do not mean an ha,
bitual ''dosing" with purga,ives. Such a
practice would weaken the infant system so
that it could not resist the attacks of disease
and would also prove ruinous to the physical
constitution But q moderate, occasional use OF
Alternative or blood-puriier would absolutely
insure the child's system against disease, be-
sides greatly promoting its vigor and strength.
