Some Of the names in our list [of
men Of letters who were married are
not those IF authors who depended or
depend--forsome are still living on their
writings for subsistence, but nearly al
depend on their writings for a reputa
ton. As all of these men were husbands
and most of them fathers, such list
may serve to show that husbands and
fathers need rot despair of achieving
reputation as authors, though, in litera-
ture as in pursuits. a man generally
secures some measure of success be-
fore he mavries. This, however, is far
from being always the case. St.
Augustine was father if not husband
before he was saint or author. The
married poets, il viii be noticed,
are numerous. rev of the best are
missing. This Is exactly as might
have been expected. The genuine poet
is above all things over If some
eminent poets are missing from our
list il would be rash to accuse them of
insensibility to the fascination OF the
fair. for by the missing name there
usually hangs sad tale of disappuiLt-
ed love. Cameo. for example, was
twice banished because of his passion
for one of the Queen $ ladies' at the
Court of Lisbon, and, although his love
was returned. the fatcs were SO unkind
that she died before he could claim her.
The number of travellers, or rather
authors of books of travel, is com
paratively small. and this, again, is
exactly as might have been expected.
1t is not the husband and father who
affects the Satanic habit of walking up
and down and going TO and fro upon
the earth. 1t would take a volume to
notice all the interesting facts about
authors and their wives.
Here are a few: or Tycho Brahe we
read that "bein" a great admircr of
the fair sex, he conceived violent in
clination for Christina, beautiful

New York Letter 70 Baltimore
American: People have often wonder
ed that man of Mr.. Tilden' vast
wealth, domestic tastes, aud political
prominence remained q bachelor all his
life. Rumor is that during his college
DAYS at the New York University he
met and loved the daughter of one of
the leading Democratic statesmen of
that time. She was a beautiful girl,
charming alike in the graces Of her
person and her intellectually Her
beauty and wit attracted many suitors,
but Mr. Tilden's culture and rare
qualities of mind captivated her. He
was a brilliant conversatiOnalist and
had lofty aspirations. and the evidences
of his ability To achieve prominence
were so marked that the beautiful girl
pledged her heart and fortunes to his
keeping. They were engaged TO be
married in the spring Of lS47 the year
after Mr.. Tilden had become a member
of the State Legislature.
She accompanied her father TO Wash
ingtOn, where he went TO spend the
winter of that year in looking after
Government matters in which he was
Interested While there she was a
great fayorite in society and entered
heartily into all its pleasures. In the
month of March she was stricken with
brain fever, which left her hopeless
imbecile.

taehment for a daughter of the late
Prot. 5. I. Il. Morse and offered her
his heart and hand. The lady did not
look with favor on his suit, although
the advantages of the connection were
so great and it was so warmly advO-
Gated by her own family. Mr.. Tilden s
proposal was twice declined But his
want OF success made no difference in
the friendly feelings of the parties con
cerned. and when. shortly afterward,

county entered the field as candidate.
To these we're added n. H. Dunnell Of

the 18th without any material change. On
the 10th the opening ballot was exactly
the same as the first on the day previous.
Seventy-nine ballots we're taken during
the day and en- adjournment took place
for supper. In the evening friends OF the

lot did on the first day. The next ballot
stood Lovely 81, Mullen b, White II,

forces gave Dunnsll a little boom. GA the
