Romance In Real Life.

A ROMANCE in real life, the parallel
of which have serious doubt of exist
ing anywhere in all the curious annals
of our complex social life, has just had
its sequel consummated in little town
not thousand miles from here. The
whole story, told in short and unro-
mantle way, leaving all the finer and
more delicate touches for the novelist
who will doubtless take it up in due
time, is as follows:
Seventeen years ago last spring DIR.
r., then a young Hedging from an
Eastern Medical College, settled in the
village of G. He was then just twenty
four years old, and withal a considers
BILE addition to the dull hum drum life
of the new Western village. Among
his earliest and most pleasant acouaint-
ances in the village were Mr.. and Mrs.
F., who were but recently married,
and had removed from a place in the
Fast near where the doctor had for
merly resided. In the course of time
daughter was born to Mrs. P, the
doctor attended her in her sickness. 1t
was the first case of the kind he had
ever had, and he naturally felt very
much interested-not only on account of
the friendship which he cherished for
the family, but because very plump
and beautiful child had been born.
In that early day comparatively few
marriageble young ladies, such as an
educated young physician would desire
to take unto himself, were in the vicini-
ty of g.; and the doctor, beingvery de-
voted to the work of his profession, ap-
parently took little thought of himself
in regard to the matter of matrimonv.
Meanwhile the years rolled away.
and the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. grew into bright little girl. Dur
ing his frequent visits to the house the
doctor and she became very fond of
each other, just as man and child will.
She was a sort of daughter to him, and
he second father to her. Thus the
years went on until Alice became
maiden, and then young lady; and
though she was as sweet as a bright
girl could be. and handsome as a pict-
ure, no one thought of keeping her
company" cit was sort of under
STOOD" said the gentleman who related
the story to me, that the doctor and
Alice were intended for each other, and
tnat no one else should have any thing
to say in the PREMISES
Last Saturday the doctor, now a
pleasant gentleman of forty-one, with
occasionally silver hair in his raven
locks, " fixed np'' in his very best STYLE
and came quietly to Mr. P. 5, where. in
the presence of a few of the friends of
the family, Alice was made his bride.
Strange as it may seem, both parties
were as happy as happy could be, and
received the congratulations of all
present with due grace. The doctor
says mat 1t now seems to him that his
NE is Just begun; and, although he has
always been happy, he is now doubly
SO. Long may the happy couple live
and love, is the wish of ali their friends.

ing dirt the shock dislodged before the
coroner could be called.
The "pizen clean" woman always
hates to have company. "Guests are
so dirty, you know" The parlor is
kept dark and unused from year to
year. The carpets would fade and dust
would gather. We once knew woman
who refused to open her parlor door
for the weddingo of her daughter. 1.-THE
streets are too dusty" she said. She
is dust now. They opened the parlor
for her funeral, and one almost Won
ders that she did not turn over in her
coffin.
Over-neat women delight to make
people uncomfortable. She is thin,
dyspeptic, has nerves, is troubled with
dirt on the brain. Dirt on the brain is
very wearing to the constitution, and
the hyper-neat woman nearly always
dies young. If she did not, nearly all
her household would. Her husband
always has another chance. This is
dispensation of Providence.
We write with some feeling on this
subject, although, thank God. we have
only seen the over-neat woman far off.
But we have seen the lives of good men
embittered, we have seen boys driven to
ruin and girls imbued with such hatred
of cleanliness that they became very
slatterns by over-neat wives and moth
ers.

indennlte period to be a quotation
from the Bible. Cleanliness is the
chief distinction between the tramp
and many millionaires, albeit there
have been many millionaires who
could not claim even this ADVANTAGE
over the tramp.
But the sentence, Cleanliness is

IN the Bible, nevertheless. You can
not have too much goodness, too much
temperance, too much discretion, too
much wisdom, but you can have too

SUDDEN DEATH.-Last Wednesday, as we
learn from the Democrat, tramping German
fell in the street of Pennington in fit. He
was taken in charge by Overseer Lake, and
given comfortable quarters and medical at
tendance at the County Hotel. Next morn
ing the man got up and ate his breakfast and
made ready to resume his journey. While
packing up his traps he suddenly fell over
dead. From an old letter found in his pos
session, it is believed that his name was either
Christian Elwell or Christian Karollus, and
that he belonged somewhere in Pennsylvania.
In his pockets he had about so In silver. His
pack revealed little of everything, old boots
penknives, buttons by the hundred, pins,
needles, scissors, razors, rags. and in short
nearly every article you could name. His age
was about 40 years. Undertaken Hanson
buried the body in the Baptist burial ground
on Friday.
