"a PILGRIM OF LOVE"
He Kneels at the F eet of One of Athens
Fairest Daughters.

Eairest Daughters.
From the Athens (Gd) Banner Waterman,
About five years ago one of Athens most
charming young ladies began receiving
anonymous letters from some evidently
love-sick swain. The locations from which
he wrote were different, but the letters were
apparently from the same person. He CON
fessed the tender passion, and declared he
would love and follow her as long as life
should last. He asserted his intention sooner
or later of coming to see her, and in person
lay siege to the citadel Of her affections.
which he had 50 long worshiped at dis
lance. On Thursday last, 10 and behold. he
came The scene, as described by the young
lady, was both ludicrous and pathetic She
discovered at one the author of her anony-
nous letters, and the person of her most
ardent and mysterious lover The young
lady, full of a womans native curiosity, vet
naturally embarrassed by the unusual course
of proceedings, listened with frightened
interest to her would be sultor. He de
clared that he had loved her from the first
time he had beheld her, and had
often visited Athens and walked through
her streets and thoroughfares hoping for
some fortuitOus circumstance to bring them
together The fates, however, seemed to
oppose him, and at last, in the desperation
of his love. he had determined to beard
the lion IN his den, and therefore he came,
that he might worship at her shrine. He
recited most eloquently thu story Of Isaac
and Rebecca-how hey had been chosen for
each other. He liked this ancient cnstom,
he said and hoped that it also met with her
approval.
Discouraged and disappointed at every
turn he sadly and sorrowfully took his
leave, but, as he said, leaving his heart and
his Happiness behind him Verify, truth is
stranger than fiction, for this scene really
occurred last Thursday in one of our most
pleasant uptown homes and can be vouched
for by several eavesdropping Young ladies.
The man i'll question is not a total stranger
to our city, though he was TO the young
lady He confessed he had been so smitten
by her charms that he could not dispace
her image from his mind, and therefore he
had come to ask that he might have pic
ture of his fair one to carry with him, to
brighten the remainder of his now mislr
able life. The young lady told her strange
suitor that she had deliberately chosen
literary life, and would never marry any
one, aud therefore, would have to decline
his magnanimouS offer In vain he begged
that he might he allowed to come again: in
vain he asked her for her picture. in vain
he besought that she would give him one
little spark of hope. 1t consoled him. some
what, Miss -- cells us, to know that he
had no rival in her affections, and he left
the house with heavy heart and bow d
head, with the stern hope, however, that
he would be called back" some day and
have her the jewel Of his heart, TO crown
his life with unutterable bliss.
Thus ended the most romantic scene in
the social annals of the Classic City.
