Buchanan's Early Love.

The lady was Miss Coleman of Phil
adelphia, and not of Lancaster, and it
was through no fault of hers that the
estrangement occurred. Mr.. Buchanan
was at that time poor young man,
while the Coiemans were people of
wealth and position, who thought it a
condescensiOn for their beautiful
daughter to marry the struggling law
yer. Mr.. Buchanan wrote to Miss
Coleman repeatedly, but the letters
were intercepted and he received no re-
ply, While on his way to see her the
stage in which he was travelling was
upset and his leg was broken. Con-
fined for several weeks in little village
in Pennsylvania, snow-bound and i'll,
he wrote her d last and final appeal.
This never reached her. About the
same time her family succeeded in per-
suading her that she was deserted by
her lover, and she wrote him a cold
farewell letter. Ill and discouraged,
Mr.. Buchanan made no further effort
at reconciliation, A year or two af-
terward, at an evening party in Phila-
uOARhAo, ohOy hiOU, puC 1nl, puCIldIldu
did not 90 near OF speak to her. What
followed or resulted in her death was
never fully known. There was a ru-
mOr that she took poison that night,
although the account received among
her friends was that of a young lady
who slept in the room with her. She
said as Miss Coleman stood brushing
her hair before the glass, some one
mentioned Mr.. Buchanan's name, when
she began to sob, She cried for hours
and hours, Her friend became alarm
ed finally and aroused tie household.
She continued to sob till toward morn
ing, when she became unconscious,
was never reused, and died in few
hours. 1t was said that she died liter
orally OF a broken heart, but her health
had been impaired by her disappoint-
ment, and no doubt she had some or
ganic heart disease that only needed a
sudden and distressing shock to kill
her. This, without unnece ssary detail
or mawkishness, is about all there is to
Mr.. Buchanan's much talked of "lOve
affair.""

BARON ROTHSCHILD AS A
BEGGAR.

Eugene Delacroix, dining ore day in
Baron James de Rothschild's hospita-
BILE home, fixed his eyes repeatedly on
his host in so searching manner that
the latter could not help asking his
guest, when they left the dining-room,
what it was that had to such a degree
rivitel his attention. Delacroix &C
knowledged that. having for some time
been vainly searching for head such
as he would like to have for a promi
nent beggar in his new picture, he was
suddenly struck with what a splendid
mode the CrBus would make who was
entertaining him at his table. Would
it be too great favor to ask the Baron
to sit for beggar?
ROthschild, who was fond of art, and
not displeased to be reckoned among
its chief protectors; gracefully assented
to act part probably never performed
before by a millionaire, and appeared
next morning in the celebrated paint
er's studio. DelacrOix hung atunic on
his shoulders, placed tall staff in his
hand and assigned to him posture, as
If he were resting on the steps of an
ancient Roman temple.
In this attitude he was discovered by
young friend aud pupil of the paint
er's, who alone had the privilege of be-
ing admitted to the studio at all times
Surprised by the excellence of the mod
el, he congratulated his master on hay
ing at last found exactly what he
wanted. Not for a moment doubling
that the model had just been begging
at the porch of some church or at the
corner of a bridge, and much struck by
his features, the young man, espying a
moment when the artists eyes were
averted, slipped twenty-franc piece
into the models hand. Rothschild
kept tie money, thanking the giyer by
a look, and the young man went his
way. He was, as the banker soon
found out from Delacroix, without for
tune, and obliged to give lessons in Or
der to exc out his living. Some time
later the youth received letter, men,
tiOning that charity bears interest. and
that the accumulated interest on twen-
ty francs, which he, prompted by gen.
erous impulse, had given to a man in
appearance a beggar, was lying at his
disposal i'll Rothschild's Office, to the
amount of ten thousand francs, having
borne five hundred fold, like the seed
in the parable.-London Telegraph.
