A Long Journey For a Lover.

: The Alexandria (Minn.) Post tells the
following romantic story: In the sum-
mer of 1859 regular mail service was es-
tablished, and early in 1860 Burbank &
Co. put in a line of stages. At this pc

the affections OF her heart upon another;
and when his heart by hope deferred |
grew faint within him, he turned his |
face sadly in the direction from whence |
he came, to drown thoughts and feel |
ings in the deep, dark solitude Of forest |
wilds. Painful, indeed, must have been |
the thoughts of that young girl, to find |
on her arrival at Fort Garry, and after |
thousands of miles of travel, that he for |
whom she had sacrificed home, friends |
and country, to brave the perils of ocean
and the dangers of a wild and almost |
endless wilderness, had kept faithfully |
his tryst, and believing her incOnstant |
to the vows plighted so far away, had |
returned to his forest home without her. |
Such constancy and devotion in young |
and timid girl aroused the sympathy of
those around her and a special express
was dispatched in pursuit of the wan
dering lover, who at the end of two or
three DAYS was overtaken with the joy
| full tidings that she whom he had trav-
eled so far to meet, awaited with anx-
ious heart his coming. Let us draw a
veil, as the novelists say, over the event
OF that happy meeting. 1t was too
sacred in its details for the eye of
curious mortals to behold or the pen of
| human to portray.

A Skeleton in n Tree.

A startling surprise, after the fashion
of the story of Ginevra, was experienced
not long ago by party of Syrian wood
cutters in the forest of Drommling. They
began to fell venerable oak, which
they soon discovered to be quite hollow.
Being half decayed it speedily came to
the ground with a crash, disclosing a
skeleton in excellent preservation. Even
the boots, which came above the knee,
were almost perfect. By its side was a
powder horn, a porcelain pipe bowl,
and silver watch on which was en-
graved the name, H. Won Krackowitz,
1872" The teeth were perfect. 1t would
seem to be the skeleton of a man be-
tween thirty and forty years OF age. 1t
is conjectured that while engaged in
hunting, he climbed the tree for some
purpose, and slipped incautiously into
the hollow trunk. from which there was
no release, and he probably died of
starvation

4 Strange Romance.

That truth is stranger than fiction is
once more aptly exempli6ed by the fol-
lowing curious narrative from Lucca,
Italy. Some years ago native OF
Casamaggiore emigrated to America,
leaving behind him his wife and two
children. Shortly after his arrival in
the states, where he promptly found
lucrative employment, he sent 100 lire
to the priest OF his native place, TO be by
him conveyed to his family. A few
months later this remittance was fol.
lowed by second Of ]. 200 lire; and at
subsequent periods oil er sums were for
warded in the same manner, to the total
amount Of 25, 900 lire, or $1,000. The
priest, however, TO whom all this money
was transmitted, put it in his own pock-
ct. One dOy, having come TO the con
clusion that he had derived sufficient
profit from his agency, he sent for the
woman and informed her, with many
consolatory reflections, that her husband
was dead. About the same time he wrote
to the emigrant, stating that the latter's
wife and children had succumbed to an
epidemic which had all but depopulated
Casamaggiore, and inclosed in his letter
an official certificate Of their death and
burial. 1t appears that, after a while,
the emigrant, believing himself to be a
widower, married again. He prospered
in business, became wealthy man, and,
few months ago, determined to revisit
the place OF his birth. In due time he
arrived with his second wife and family
at Casamaggiore, where he took up his
quarters at the principal inn. Strolling
out to look up some Of his old acquaint-
ances, little beggar boy followed him,
importuning him for aims. Something
in the child's appearance arrested his
attention. He asked the boy his name,
and found him to be his own son.
Further inquiry soon elected the fact
that his wife and two children were liv-
ing, but in the utmost poverty and dis
tress. The reverend embezzler, when
confronted with his victims, offered to
refund the 25. 600 lire; but the affair had
come to the knowledge of the police
authorities, who refused to permit any
compromise, aud arrested the holy man,
against whom proceedings have been
taken by the state. Meanwhile, his un-
fortunate ex.parishioner finds himself
saddled with two living wives aud fam
lilies, between whose claims upon his
affection and support there is, equitably
speaking, nothing to choose either way.

The Romance of the Indian Outbreak.

lived at the White River agency q year
and half, and knew the Meekers init.
nately, tells this story to reporter of
the Dubuque Times: 'Ouray was in
love with the Oldest daughter OF Agent

that he could never marry her. 1 have

over her as il she were child. He
would do anything to please her. Ouray's
sister knew her brother loved the Meeker
family and so took good care that no
harm should come to them. was there

and Ouray was 80 happy that he rushed
up to the Meeker girl and shook her
hand for an hour. He tried hard TO
stop her from weeping, but she said,
'Ouray, you knew this trouble was
coming all the time, and l can never
forgive you.' learn now that he is
deing all in his power to bring the bad

How webster,s Speech was Preserved.

The true story of the diamond neck.
lace Daniel Webster gave to Mrs. Joseph
Gales is said to be this: When Mr..
Webster made his celebrated reply to
Senator Hayne, of South Carolina, Mr..
Gales, the senior editor of the National
htel6gencer, undertook to report it, at
the request of the orator, who assured
Mr.. G. that the speech would not be
more than half an hour long. The edi-
tor was busy, but he thought he could
spare time to take down and write out
80 short speech. But as Mr.. Webster
was ascending the steps of tho capitol
on the morning that he was to speak,
he met Judge Story, who told him it was
a good opportunity to give his views
upon the constitution. Webster acted
upon this suggestion, and instead of
speaking for only half an hour, he spoke
for three hours. Mr.. Gales, under the
spell of the orator, wrote on, perfectly
unconscious of the lapse of time. But
when he came to look over his notes he
found they we're 50 voluminous that he
would never have time to transcribe
them. The speech not appearing in the
IntelLfgencer in due time, Mr.. Webster
called upon the editor at his house, who
told him that the speech was 80 long,
and his time so much occupied, that he
feared he could not find time to write it
out for publication. While the orator
was expostulating with the editor, and
endeavoring to urge him to the work,
Mrs. Gales appeared and said she
thought she could write out the speech,
as she had been in the habit Of assisting
her husband in transcribing his notes.
She undertook the task, and in two days
sent Mr.. Webster his speech in full. A
magnificent diamond necklace was the
rich reward Of the Massachusetts, Sena-
tor. And thus was preserved to Ameri-
can literature the masterpiece Of one of
our greatest orators.

Finding 'GirI' in the Bible,

An English missionary, short time
ago, related a remarkable incident.
There was lodging house in his district
which he had long desired to enter, but
was deferred from so doing by his friend,
who feared that his life would be endan-
gered. He became at length so uneasy
that he determined to risk all conse-
quences and try to gain admission. So
one day he gave a somewhat timid
knock at the door, in response to which
a coarse voice roared out:
Who's there9' and at the same moment
a vicious-looking woman opened the
door and ordered the man Of God away.
Let him come in, and see who he is,
and what he wants. growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in
and bowing politely to the rough look
ing man whom he had just heard speak
said:
Il have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood to read
with and talk to The people about good
things. l have passed your door SO

Something Worth Knowing.

Every little while we read in the pa
pers of some one who has stuck a rusty
nail in his foot, or knees or hand, or
some other portion OF his body, and that
lockiaw resulted therefrom, of which
the patient died. If every person was
aware of perfect remedy for all such
wounds, and would apply it, then all
such reports must cease. But although
we can give the remedy, we can not en-
force its application. Some will not en-
ploy it because they think it too simple;
others will have no faith in it when they
read it; while others think such wound
OF small account, and not worth fussing
over, until it is too late TO do any good.
Yet all such wounds can be healed with
out the fatal consequences which follow
them. The remedy is simple, almost
always on band, and can be applied by
any one, and what is better, it is infalli-
bic. 1t is simplyto smoke the wound,
or any bruiss or wound that is inAamed,
with burning wool or wooden cloth. -
Twenty inmates in the smoke Of wool
will take the pain out Of the worst
wound; repeated two or three times it
will allay the worst cases of inAamma-
tion arising from wound. People may
sneer at the old mans remedy as much
as they please, but when they are afflict-
ed just let them try il. 1t has saved
many lives and much pain, and is worthy
Of being printed in letters Of gold and

Dickens in a New Light.

Jenny June in a letter TO the Balti
more american, remarkipg OF the great
author says: The recent publication Of
the intimate correspondence Of Mr.,
Charles Dickens, and the death Of bis
wife, has revived the floating talk and
gossip in regard to their unfortunate
separation and its causes. OF course,
the real truth is no secret among the
personal friends of the great novelist and
his family; but ii has been kept from
the public with remarkable loyalty to
the reputation and memory Of popular
author, and even at the expense Of o
suffering woman, who lived and endured,
but made ho sign. The nearest to a
vindication of the wife OF twenty-five
years and the mother of ten chill rem,
which her sister and daughter have per-
mitted themselves, is the publication of
her husbands letters before any person
had ever come between them-before
the shadow of his infatuation for the
woman who blasted her life had crossed
her path.
II is only fair to admit that the reti-
cence was partly due 10 consideration for
the partner in his wrong-doing, who was
known to have struggled for long time
against mutual sentiment, and had
maintained, except in this one instance,
an irreproachable character. The woman
was young, and governess. She was
well provided for by Mr.. Dickens will,
and went abroad-to Rome--soon after
his death, wearing deep mourning, and
carrying letters to some Of his American
friends there, who were not informed
until a considerable time afterward Of
her true relations TO the author Of Pick
wick and David Copperfeld,' Unjust
have been pretty hard for the wife, in
view of the facts, to submit to see it
stated in the public prints that her
temper was the cause OF the separation,
when in reality, if it was anything, it
was too easy, too amiable, and made less
capable of resistance by delicate health.
Charles Dickens was spoiled by the
adulation of friends and women, and
grew to believe that genius such as his
was omnipotent, and amenable to no
law, divine or human. Much, of course,
is forgiven to those who have done much
for their kind; but how much higher
and nobler his place would have been
had he been true and strong man right
straight through, instead of weak one,
yielding like boy to the sudden i'm
pulse of momentary passion, and leaving
the cruel results to blight the lives dear.
