A Tragic Romance.
A College in Virginia concluded to go a
Falls in Missouri. The high officer of Africa
was a town in Indiana. The river of Missouri
was from the river in Maryland. A buggy "was
ordered and soon arrived, and a Fort of Scotland
assisted a river in Utah into the vehicle, he look
ing a river of Utah , and she Springs of Virginia.
All things prepared, they start, and soon a Moun
tains of America road is traversed, and a creek of
North Carolina brook meets the river. Far off
to the right might be discovered a Mountain of
Vermont meadow. In an adjoining P. 0. of Harris
county , Georgia , in a toicn of Sussex, England ,
is seen an island of the Eastern Coast , Virginia,
and a toicn in Isle of Wight. The horse, traveling
at a rapid pace, came suddenly upon a small lake
of Canada that was chasing a river of lowa on
the fence.' This started the horse, and by a town
of New Jersey turn, the pair in the buggy were
thrown in the lake of New York. The lady, who
was a devout Catholic, called on a county in Mary
land to river in South Germany her. Luckily,
u nobody hurt,” their destination is soon reached,
and they proceed to a river in Minnesota. Their
labors are rewarded by three lakes in British Am
erica. Just then they break a creek near Mont
gomery, Alabama, and conclude to stop their
sport. They hear voices, and are surprised to
find a number of friends near by. A lunch is pro
posed, and a sea of Europe, w'ho was with the
other party, soon prepared a repast. The party
now consisted of five ladies : a river in Utah , an
harbor in Florida, a cape of North America, an
island of Florida, and a town in France. The
town in Austria portion of the party was a city in
Canada, a Fort of Scotland, and two counties of
Maryland. In the lunch basket they found a har
bor of coast,New Jersey , a baked river of Oregon,
and other substantial. For condiments they
found a lake of Utah, and a town of Guiana as
desert, an isle of Lake Superior made of a river
of Arkansas. Wines were plentiful; there was a
river of Prussia, a town in France, and an island
West Coast Africa and yet some of the young
men preferred an island of West Coast Scotland,
a bottle of which was hidden under a bush near
by. Repast being ended, the cape of North Am
erica individual put the basket away. The weath-

er becomes suddenly a country of South America,
and the party start homewards. Our hero took
from under his buggy seat a point of South Caro
lina, and threw it around his fair companion.
Most young people would have thought this an
land coast South Carolina, but our hero was al
ways prudent, and knew it was best. Alter hav
ing attended to her point in East 1 irginia , he lit
his river in South Carolina. The wind now was
blowing tremendously, and a spark blew into his
city of 1 ranee and began to town oj Switzerland
him. The day became more swamp in Virginia,
our heroine lost her town of Italy, and, thus ex
posed, being caught in a shower, she caught a se
vere harbor of Virginia. It terminated in con
sumption. Her escort still entertains an inlet of
North Carolina feeling for her; but his hopes are
vain. Her physicians declare her not an island
of New York for this world. Although a very
lurge lake of United States girl, and very devout,
she feared death. A priest was sent for, and soon
showed her that the last cape of Newfoundland
of hope was not gone. She soon exclaimed a
river of England had been shown her. Tis well,
for soon we see her cape of Canada East and the
river of Utah cord is loosed, and her spirit is waft
ed to Heaven, where ail is a town of New Hamp
shire and happiness.
We follow to the grave her body, and while we
see it put into the cold, damp county of Indiana,
and see a lake of Canada bowing over her grave,
we try not to mourn, for it is mountains of Texas
joy to think that now her voice chimes in the isle
of Lake Superior chorus in a better land ; and
that there we may join her, where, after a happy
county of North Carolina, there will be no creek
New Jersey us again. Nellie V.
