Brookville QPaD Correspondence PHILADELPHIA
Press.
A letter from lady residing in Cali
tornla recalls romantic episode con.
nected with the writer. The LADY,, a
school-teacher in this county, estim.
able and well-educated, who had
passed out of her twenties, but was of
n very romantic and imaginable dis.
position, about two years ago, while on
a visit TO Franklin, Pa, formed the
acquaintance of a lady who had
brother, bachlor, residing in California.
This brother had written to his sister to
produce him a lady correspondent in
the east. This sister showed this letter
to Miss S., and, after some persuasion
and warm praise OF the absent brother,
obtained her promise that if he would
write to her she would reply. Soon
after her return home she received a
letter, and this was the beginning of
quite an animated correspondence
Photographs were exchanged, and
finally the gentleman proposed and
was accepted by the lady. But nov
came the startling proposition for her
to ioin him in San Francisco, where
they would be married. To this the
lady demurred. but after good deal
of pleading upon his part, and the plea
that his business interests would not
allow him to come east for some time,
she consented. and he sent her money
to iefray the expenses of the journey
and about a year after the correspond
ence began she set out alone to meet
her unseen lover. After 3 pleasant
trip she arrived in San Francisco, where
Mr.. c.. met her. 1t was a case OF
mutual love at first sight and neither
had any wish to secede from the con,
tract. A carriage was procured, and
they were driven TO the residence OF
relative, where they were speedily
united, and at once proceeded to MI
C.'s residence, about twenty mllestfom
San Francisco, where he had a home
pre- pared for bis bride, and now, alter
the lapse of year, the incident Is re-
vived by the letter referred to, IN when
the lady writes that she has had ~
reason to regret that she threw up tne
ferule in Jefferson county and set ou'
toward the setting sun to seek hel
fortune. She speaks III glowing terms
of her lovely, luxurious home Oh ln5
Pacific Slope, and euloglzes "a iohu
terms him who she says Is tine oe''
husband in the world"
