Romance in Reality.

BETTER LATE Til AN NEVER. The Dubuque (Iowa Times tells a romantic little story at^out the marriage of Mr. N. L. Alden, of Dubuque, and Mrs. Abble if.

Orcutt, of Boston, which

took place on tbo 22nd ult. The bride and groom became acquainted thirty years ago, and two years later were en gaged to bo married. An unfortunate occurrence caused a rupture and they Hcparsited. she remaining in Boston and he going to the West. Each was married without the other's knowledge, and both had children, be five and she three. About five years ago her husband *lied, and over a vear ago his wife passed away. Last Juno the former lovers met in Dubuque, made it all up, and the marriage nells rang again.

IMPORTED FOR ANOTHER. The Montreal Gazette records a love htory in its local columns. It reads thus It is stated that a yonng man who four years ago left the old country and settled in a place near Toronto, where he bought a farm, sent for a young lady that lie loved when at homo, and came to Montreal to await her arrival. She remained at the house of the young man's friend here, and everything was going as merry as a marriage bell until they attended'a picnic a few days before the intended marriage, when the fair one, who was introduced to a coachman of good appearance, got married to him before the other man who brought her over knew any tiling about it. He felt greatly diiappbinted, but returned home a wiser and more fortunate man for his escape.

REST IN REUS I OX.

A few years before the lato war a certain Dr. Dow camo to Calais and boardod for Koino time at the Calais House, then kepi by (ieorgo Wilder. Atter awhile be removed to Princeton, where ho married MissHpooner, a very respectable young lady of that town. The marriage »eeurred just before tho war began, and soon after Mr. Dow enlisted. While in the army a daughter was born to him, and for a tiino he regularly ..sortt letters and money to his wile. lJut alter awhile he ceased 10 do ho, and nothing was heard from him until some time after tho close. of the war, when his wife learned that ho had engaged to marry the only daughter of a wealthy man in another State. She went to see him, but falling to find him alio saw his alli.inced, who said the doctor told her his llrs-t wife and their child were dead. She then returned homo and procured a divnroe. Homo time alter this sho went West'to work, and falling sick, aud finding herself unablo to support her ohlld, she wrote to her "ex-husband" asking him to contributo towards tho oupport of bis daughter. Ho replied in a penitent letter, expressing a desiro to hoo her ami talk over matters. By agreement they met In Iloston, and ho provided amply for his daughter's support. A correspondence eusued between tho divorced parties, which finally resulted in offering to leave ids second wife and remarry the first one. She agreed, and al»out two -weeks ago the wedding ceremony was done over again, and tho twice-married coupio have gone oft to seek their fortuno. This is a Htninge story, but it is vouched for by friends and acquaintances of the parties, both In this city aud In Princeton, and if we had the slUghtest doubt of its truth* fulness we should not venture upon its publication.—[Calais (M«.)

.1 PRISON ROMANCE.

A fow days since a fine double team, with driver and footman on board, dashed up in front of tho Penitentiary and stopped, when tho footman hastened into the Warden's ollice and said to Colonel Innis that a lady at the gate desired to see the Warden. Tho Colonel stepped out, and, after addressing a finely dressed madam, was asked If site might see her hnsbanu, who was a convict under his charge lie replied that if sho was the wife of any man in tho prison of oourso she might wjo him. She alighted and went Into the office. Monnwnllo the man whoso name she gave was sent for. 1 to fore he came the woman privately (old the Warden that she had a bill (if divorce from hin», and that it might 1© that he would not care to seo her, ami *he would like to l»o informed on that point before he came in. Accordingly the Warden met tho husband In tho guard iixini, and said to hi in that his dlvorwd wife was in the office and desired to see him if ho was willing. He said ho had no objwtion to seeing' her. Ho went Into tho ofilco, where siie met him with a welcome hand ami a caress, which were both very coolly row!veil. During the conversation that ensued sho asked nim If he intended coming homo when his timo was out. Bnd told him that his father had said ho would establish him in business If ho would bohave himsolf. Ho indifferently replied that he didn't know or care much where ho went Her interest in his behalf was not very warmly reciprocated, and sho finally" remarked that sho would have to 1hT going. As they parted she offered anotnor enrww, whioh ho accepted seemingly only as a matter of politeness* After he had gone back to work ah« told tho captain of the guard to tell htm that If he would be a good man until his time was out and come sho wo«l«J acain Join Him In the bonds of wedlock. •-{Ohio State Journal.

A FTKR MA .V DA Y&

A letter from Spring Lake, Mich., to the Detroit Tribune tells this story of a resident of the former place: On the corner of Jackson ami State street*, la this decidedly unromantte village^stands a little, old, unoccupied building, with an equally ancient evidence In the rear. The solo occupant Is a corpulent, little old sailor, named Illram A. Reed, familiarly known as "SHUtre.** fVr thirty yean preriona to ttie first administration of Grant be was uaUeo of the l*eacoy ami held court and dispensed justice in the building mentioned above. With Gram's election the chief spirit of Jackxon street went into retirement, ami the town grew over hint, as it were. During the summer of 1851, forty-four this little old wan, then a

years ago, sprightly sailor of twenty-six, had command of the achooner Ontario, eighty days)

tons bunion (large rwwel fbr thoee days) belonging to Walton Jk WHlett, of Oswego, N. Y., aad sailing between that port ami Ontario, Osnada, On a trip in July or August hat year Captain Reed had |wt pasa*!.*,-.**, a young Frenchman and his wife named ftolah. There were no passenger boats iu those days. At t*xm upon a certain quiet day on the waters, when all hands wan below at

dinner save the man at the helm and the young French woman, and just as the 'captain was descending into the cabin, ne heard a splash near the main chains and hurrying to tho side of the vessel discovered that the lady had fallen overboard. Quicklj- seizing the end of a coil of rope, tlie other end of which was fast to a belaying pin, he. jumped overboard, and as the vessel had scarcely steerage way, easily rescued the lady. Her gratitude and that of her husband knew no bounds, and upon the arrival of tho vessel at Toronto they tried to induce the captain to accept a present of a gold watch. This he refused, and only upon earnest solicitation accepted a gold half-eagle from the lady. Tho circumstances of tho event had gone entirely from tho old man's memory, when few days ago he received a.letter from the American Consul at Paris, forward ed from his old address, Adams, Jefferson Count}', N. Y., announcing that a certain Vealtby Frenchman had just died, and that a provision in his will had left 50.000 francs to "one Hiram A. Reed, who was master of the schooner Ontario in tho summer of 1S3L

and

who

once saved the life of his wife. Of the crew of six on board the vessel that summer, Mr. Reed has positive knowledge of the death of four, and knows the whereabouts of but one of the two others—his brother Asa Reed. IJe lias sent to the custom house officers at Oswego, and also to Washington, for copies of his papers, and expects by this means to establish his identity and se cure the legacy.

LO VE-MA KINO IN POR TUG A L. In his "Travels in Portugal" Mr. John Latouchc says: An American gentleman of my acquaintance told me that ho had never passed two Portuguese in conversation without hearing one of two words spoken, tcitao or rapwriga finance or love. There are not even fashions for ihem to think about young men and old men dress alike, but the younger ones wear exceeding tight boots, and "and when they take their walks abroad" it is obvious that thoy do so in considerable discomfort. The Aoung men, however, have one occupation more important even than wear ing tight boots, and which almost, in fact, goes with it—that of making tho very mildest form of love known among men. The process, indeed, is carried on in so Platonic a manner, and with so much proper feeling, that I doubt il oven the strictest English governess would find anything in it to object to. Tho young gontleinen pay their addresses by simply standing in front of tho house occupied by the object of their affections, while the young person in question looks down approvingly from an upper window, and there the matter ends. Thoy are not within speaking distance, and have to content thomselves with expressive glances and dumb show for it would be thought highly unbecoming for the young lady to allow billet doux to llutter down into the street, while tho laws of gravitation stand in tho way of the upper flight of such a document—unweighted, at least, with.u stouo. and this, of course, might risk giving the j-oung lady a black eye, or breaking her father's window-pane.'. Ho the lovers there remain, often for hours, feeling, no doubt, very happy, but looking unutterably foolish. These silent courtships sometimes continue for very long periods before tho lover can asli the fatal question, or the lady return tho final answer. I hoard a storv of one suehjprotracted courtship which an ingenious novelist might easily work into a pretty romance. About forty or fifty years ago, before tho suppression of convents in Portugal, a young lady was engaged to bo married. For some reason or other tho marriage did not como off, and tho girl was placed In a Bonedictiuo nunnery at Oporto. Soon after camo tho abolition of convents: but while the monasteries were absolutely dissolved, and the monks scattered, tho nuns who wero already inmates of religious bousos wero suffered there to remain. Tho young lady, accordingly, on the suppression occurring, did'not leave the ltenedictinoconvent. It is to be presumed, however, that tho rules of this particular establishment wero -somewhat relaxed, for the young gentleman who had lxon engaged to this nun was observed to take his constant stand before tho barred window of his former mistress's cell, while she would become visiblo behind the grating. Hero the romance I havo imagined would perhaps rather lack incident, and, except in a master's hand, might grow monotonous, for this hopeless courtship lasted no fewer than four-nnd-thirty years, till a bowed and mid-dle-aged "man pacod the pavement, and looked up to a gray-haired mistress. It only ended with the death of the lady a faw*years ago. Many persons have assured mo that thoy have often been eye-witnesses of what I havo described, aud I found that the fact was quite notorious in Oporto.

A HEAL INDLiN ROMANCE. The Louisville Courier Journal tells this atory lletween Clarksvilie, Tenn. and Kddyville, Ky., on tho Cumberland River, there is a cavern which can only be entered by diving Into tho water, and which has no other light than that reflected from the bottom of the river. It was accidentally discovered by a young Indian chief, while one day diving for his gun, which ho had dropped from his canoe into the river. The Indian youth who discovered it for a long time'kept the secret to himseir and would often resort to it in his lonely hours, where, by the aid of his flint and apiece of dry wood, he wonld kindle a fire andei^joy himself in looking at the magnificence of the scene as the light reflected back millions of beams from the numerous stalagmites and stalactite* of gigantic siae and AuitaaUc forma. The cave was about fifty feet wide, and about the same in height. In the course ol time this young son of the foreet became enamored with a beautiful daughter of one of the backwoodsmen In the settlement. The young chiefs name was Wallahalla and the girl's name was Agnes Robertson. In those daja the daughters of backwoodsmen could swim, ride, and handle a gun with all the dexterity ami skill of their flithera and brothers. Arriving at the place the lover disappeared beneath the surface of the water and the maiden quickly followed him. Here he informed her she must remain as his prisoner until bo gained the consent of her parents to their union. Wallahalla then departed to return soon after with dried renlaon, and such article* as were neceeeury for her comfort. Returning to the settlement, Wallahalla found that the place had been attacked by the foe and the groun rents of Agnes moonxid her as dead," or Hug a* in a captivity to which death wouivi he Car preferable. The young chief was loudest in his lamentations over the leal girl, and at the war dance of his tribe swore the dircat Tengesnoe against her captors. All the male portion of the settlement, together with tbo friendly tribe to which the yoong chief Wallahalla belonged, started in pursuit

of the foo to rescue the girl. After a long and tedious march they cam© upon the enemy in the neighborhood of wllere Metropolis City, 111., now stands. A furious battle was fought, in which the attacking party, headed by young Wallahalla, dealt'death aud destruction to their foe uutil the ammunition was exhausted. At this moment the enemy was reinforced, and the attacking jmrtv was compelled to retire across tho Ohio. The father of Agnes Robertson was almost crazed with grief at tho loss of his beloved daughter. In his great agony ho published to the troops the following announcement:

I, Andrew Robertson, will givo to tho rescner of my daughter from the hands of the Iowas her hand in marriage, 10,000 acres of land, 100 head of cattle and horses, 100 pounds of powder, and two rifles. Andrew Rourktson.

Twenty men, warriors and riflemen, among them Wallahalla, stepped forward and tendered their services. Tho giri herself was a fortuno to any man. The parent and his trusty friends, with the exception of those who wero to go in pursuit of the Iowas in search of Agnes Robertson, returned to tho settlement on Little River, near th place now known ns Cadiz, in Trigg Count}*, Ky., to rebuild their huts and the stockade which the Indians had destroyed. Wallahalla separated himself from both parties, and by a circuitous route wended his way to the cavern in search of his beloved Agnes, whom ho found in al^ most a starving condition. The full moon shone forth in all its splendor on the night of the 2oth of May as they rose to tho surface of the water and entered their canoe to return to the arms of the lovely Agnes's parent, and receive the reward and a blessing. Th'eir advent into tlie settlement on the following morning was an occasion for great rejoicing. Feasting and dancing were tlie order for soveral weeks, anu the young chief Wallahalla was the toast of the country for miles around. He was tho recipient of presents of land, horses, cuttle, skins, Ac., to a larger extent than any man living since the foundation of "the world. Of the nimteen men who stepped forward to offer theirservices to Andrew Robertson, not one returned to givo in his experience, and the general impression existed at that time that they were either tomahawked or burnt at tho stake. Wallahalla married and changed his name to Robertson. Many of his descendants lived in the neighborhood of what is now known as Chittenden County and Trigg County, Kv., till about the year ISIS, when they 'removed to Eastern (Jeorgia.
