Alan Arthur's Love-aIalsing.

The Baltimore san says: The presence
of Mr.. Alan Arthur in Washington at this
time has revived the subject Of his engage
ment to well-known West End belle.
According to social gossip Mr.. Arthur is
here for the purpose of renewing his en-
gagement, providing the young lady in
question is willing. AS the story goes,
Young Arthur came to Washington during
the first winter his late father occupied the
White House to spend the Christmas hOli-
days. lie was at Ihat time nothing but an
overgrown, awkward college YOUTH his
father allowing him go per m Intn spen ling
money. Tne young society men of Wash
ingtou received hin with Upsn arms, aud
an ambitious young naval officer, who de-
sired pleasant detail from the President,
was particularly friendly to young Arthur,
and expended large sums Of money for his
amusement.
In the course of his social rambliugs
young Arthur became infatuated with QUE
Uf the acknowledged bellies ul society, and
it was soon whispered about that Allan
Arthur was engaged to be married. Tue
two young people were frequently seen to.

Alau found the excitement Of social life in
Washington more fascinating than box
ing" at college, ana he spent most of MS
time here, protesting to be too deliclte to
keep up with the yearly courses of snlJ
mapped ont for him by his instructors.
The following winter 1t was observed that
the two young people referred TO appeared
Indifferent to each Other, aud Alan was
frequently seen out driving with other
young ladies well known in social circles.
Then followed an announcement 10 the
local society papers that Alan Arthur's en-
gagement was of, and the young lady soon
afterward departed on European trip.
| Her beauty, grace and numerous accom-.
| plishments made her great social favorite
| abroad, and the American letter-wrters
| could not sound her praises too highly.
| Several months ago she returned to her
home in this city, and In the meantime
| her string of admirers is almost numberless.
She has an exquisite figure, graceful neck
and shoulders, beautiful brown hair and
eyes and a lovely complexion, aud is the
| life of almost any party or gathering in
which she participates. IL is said that
| young Arthur has greatly improved in
| manly qualities, and during the past two
| years has devoted himself assiduously to
his studies, and his present visit to this
city is for the purpose of winning back his
| first love. The naval officer referred to
| above secured the command he was work
ing for, and afterward young Arthur had to
| pilot himself through the rough seas Of
Washington society.

A. shut of day along the sky
Her coming made the dawn more bright,
Her going brought the sombre uisht;

Her golug made them droop and plue.
Nlcre'er her twinkliug feet did pass,
Beneath them greener grew The gra4s;
The song birds rufiled their small throats
To swell for her their blithest notes
But when she went the blushing day
sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark rs sable vans uufurled,
And sudden night possessed the world.

And now, Ike vanished perfume sweet,
Her memory grows more vague and ilegt.

The sad old world seems less iOrlOrn,
Since once 20 bright a vision came
To touch our lives with heavenly flame,
And show 10 our hewllder1d eyes
