Romance Of a Poor Young Girl.

A lady correspondent at Center White
Greek, Washington County sends us the
following romance of real life. It con-
Germs native of Washington County.
She says:
Five years ago a poor and modest
country girl of twenty-on one summers,
following the path of duty, enlisted in
the holy wars and sailed with band of
brothers to far-off heather shore, leav-
ing behind her two rejected aud likewise
miserable lovers one lad of low con-
dition, the other regular patrician.
But the heather have souls to be saved,
and for four years our self-sacrifcing
heroine followed the noble calling she
had CHOSEN. Early in May, 1881, our
fair toiler in the vineyard, d,eming that
the heathens were sufficiently converted
to admit of visit to her native shore,
resigned her charge for period and
sailed, via England, for her own home
and harbor. An English nobleman who
CHANGED to be among the passengers be-
came interested in the poor American,
and ere the good ship anchored ut Liver
pool had offered his hand, heart and for
tune and been accepted. AT London
the lovers parted soon to meet again, to
receive fathers blessing and part no
more. The bride of the future continued
her journey alone with her trousseau,
and was soon welconAa. in, New York by
host of adrniring relatlyyess anes the for
gotten lovers. fsepsrssi- were cou-
smeneed for the y A''a'- 's,slsla
and the diss@. ssof
the things which. DEEM
But alas the fob.s,llali- met with q
financial misfortune. Tenderly did he
break the news to the distant fair one,
nobIy releasing her from promises which
might become irksome. The humble
and faithful sutton (who CHANGED to be
nearest), soon became dearest, and the
weary heart taken on the rebound, sur
rendered gracefully, and they were
united in the holy bonds of matrimeny,
at the residence of the brides parents.

and struck us for ten cents. It was well
worth the money, for we could not spare
the time to throw him out doors, and re-
tanning firm hold of the subject under
discussion with our towering intellect,
and one hand on the manuscript, we
passed him the coin. ''ThaTk you,
sir, said he, 'tyou have saved my life."
His words were tinged with that settled
melancholy that comes of feeling that
he ought to have struck us for quarter,
and he passed out and was gone from
our gaze like beautiful dream. Me-
chemically we glanced out of the window
and across the street. A form emerged
the form wiped its mouth on its coat
sleeve, the back of his neck or his
pantaloons. We could not see the
features of the mysterious unknown, but
where had we seen that form, that atti-
tude, that general contour and tout en-
sembLes We tried to recollect. Memory
toyed for moment with the long ago,
and then all of sudden it flashed upon
us like dark lantern. Seven minutes
ago that person had assaulted us for
dime. AS we continued to look we could
see that smile of hope, smile of al
most perennial sweetness Che had evil

hitherto dreary expanse of his counte-
nance. He had said that we had saved
his life. And it was so.--Peck's Sun.

OF the season in the city Court.

The first tramp Of the season fur
nished a world Of fun in the City
Court this forenoon. He was not a
very saucy looking tramp. On the
contrary. he looked as if the ~stifening
had been taken out Of him by many a
vrestle with the spirits Of unruly bull
dogs. His dead looking hair fell in a
tangled mass upon his shoulders, and
a particularly hayward lock persisted
in looking out of a skylight in the top
Of his weatherbeaten hat. His tat
tered coat hung in a crescent behind
and the ceiling of his high water pan
falcons fell in graceful festoons be-
tween his knees. His nose had an
inquisitive upward turn, and his
small black eyes moved recklessly
about in sunken sockets. Somebody
remarked that he was the first tramp
of the season. His quick ears caught
the words, which were as quickly de-
MED by his peevish voice. He had
travelled from New Haven, where he
had seer the mansion of Mark Twain
and read the humorist's Tramp
Abroad" He heard the Levee Board
was in session here, and came to get
some government work. Judge Had.
den thought his request modest and
accommodated him. He will work
for the city twelve days, by the expira
ton of which time he will probably
have gained enough fat to fill out the
folds in his shirt.

ARUsAwAY
Halted by a GroceI's Gallant
Effort.

One of Thoms' (the undertaker)
best and heaviest teams ran away be-
tween FIVE and six o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and Mr.. NJ. j. Kelly, the
well known grocer, did a gallant thing
in bringing the team to a stand, while
his action, doubtless, saved the life Of
the young mar who occupied the
drivers seat of the carriage. The
horses started from zeal the corner of
Echols aud Vance streets, their driver
losing possession Of the lines, which
fell and dragged beneath the horses
feet, while the tongue pole broke
near the carriage and also dragged
between the horses. After turning
up the middle of Main and passing
Beal at a full gallop, Mr.. M. j. KEEL
ley, who at the moment was attend
ing to a customer in the rear of his
store, hearing the calls, ran out,
caught the off horse by the bride bit
and brought the runaways to sudden
halt, just in the nick of time to save
them from colliding with several We
hicles running south, some of which
were barely twenty yards distant.
The young man lost his hat during his
rapid ride and was considerably
ahaken up, both in mind and body
but he was otherwise unhurt, and no
serious damage resulted.
