A kentucky Romance.

Cincinnati Enquirer
Ten years ago in Lewis county. Ky,
a young lawyer named Phil Hodge
married Miss Addie Sillet, amid flow
ers, music and the hearty congratula-
tons of friends. At early dawn
Hodge left the house, aud in passing
out he met a servant of his wife's
father TO whom he said "Tell your
master | am gone forever" The new
made father-in-law, upon receiving
this message, hurried to his daughters
room, where, to his amazement, he
found her still in her wedding robes.
with hair ~disheveled and veil torn off,
and in a state of great excitement.
A severe spell of fever followed, but
never in her widest delirium did she
betray the cause of her agony, and
thus it remained a theme of conjecture
ever since. TO a friend the other day
she, for the first time, told the cause.
Here it is:
Lon Follett and | have been
raised together. | had received most
marked attention from him, but |
never dreamed of marrying him, for he
had a mother and sister depending on
him for a livelihood. Phil Hodge,
whom | had known a few years,
courted NE. | accepted him, and my
admiration for him tempted me to
believe | loved him. The night of our
wedding, Lon and | were sitting a
little apart from the crowd; u con
yersatiOn was only of ourselves, and
| confess | then felt Lon loved
me, and he was more of my hap
piness than | had ever dreamed.
Phil Hodge overheard a few words
and saw our earnest manner When
he came to my room he found me
dressed still as | was when [ left the
parlor, and, showing his surprise.
asked me what was the matter with
me, to which | answered as indiffer-
emily as possible, Nothing We ex-
changed several commonplace re.
marks, after which he asked me quite
harshly, Addie, did Lon Toilet ever
tell you he loved you?' | answered.
No. What was your conversation
tonight 2 His eyes we're upon me /;
| dared not tell aught but the truth
they seemed to pierce me through |
told the whole truth, and when | had
finished, he said with GOODNESS, calm
ness and stubborn resolution, Addie,
you love Lon Toilet; he shall marry
you. We will never meet again.
| begged him on my knees
not to leave me, but it was of
no avail. When the dawn came he
kissed me goodbye, and with a God
bless you, passed out from me forever.
My feelings were indescribable, the
room was horrible in its darkness, my
mind lost its reasoning powers, and
thus | passed many weeks. Through
a mutual friend | heard from him
often, of his ~wanderings, desolate life.
and death upon the frontier. Well
have our %blighted lives paid the pen
atty of this false step. When Lon
heard of his death he came to see me.
| refused to see him. Then he wrote
a long letter, telling of his love, his
never forgetting me an hour these long
years, and | have consented to marry
him but we will not meet till our
wedding night, January 8, 1879"

decorated, aud the pupils we're dressed
IN white. After verses had been read
and hymns sung the young ladies
asked among themselves what would
be the best method of receiving the
visitors, and one gave expression to
the wish that some good fairies would
bring them Scottish thistles, English
roses and maple-leaves. Scarcely was
the wish uttered when fourteen little
girls, attired as little fairies. bearing
floral tributes and wearing g%littering
crowns, entered the room, presented a
floral wreath and strewed flowers at
her feet. a second company of fairies
presented a floral wreath and strewed
flowers on the throne. The same hon
ors were paid to the Marquis of Lorne.
Two young ladies next approached the
throne, and one addressed the princess
in French and presented her with a
bouquet, and a second young lady
concluded by saying that in the name
Of her royal mother she presented a
bouquet of violets, roses and hearts
ease to Albion's daughter, fair Louise.

Mrs. Gordon on The Battle Field.

A WI AAN AheAAtAN EAGAOs
Washington Letter.
Some people were speaking the other
day of the regularity with which Mrs.
Senator Gordon attends the sessions
of the senate, and the keen interest
with which she watches the debates.
One Of the party said that she is so
devoted to her husband that she always
goes with him everywhere. During
the war she took her two little boys,
one almost a baby, aud lived with her
husband in camp, following him into
battle, in fact, sharing all the danger
with him. She had an ambulance at
her service, and it was in this that she
used to follow him. When he was
so seriously wounded, she had her
ambulance driven right into the battle
field and had him pulled out from
among the dead and wounded and
placed in the ambulance, and drove off
with him. All ofthis was done under
a heavy fire, and the cover of the am
bulance was pierced with bullet holes.
Some one said to her: Glow could
you have the nerve to do it?' why
replied Mrs. Gordon. 81 did not think
any more of it than | should Of pull
ing one of my boys OUT Of the fire ifhe
