The lily blush of innocence had given to me of

That Eden kiss of purity I'd give to yon to

More than twenty months had
elapsed since this meeting, and the
two yrars began to rise on the hori-

“ Not at all,” said the Princess*

The Grand Duke could not assist
at the ceremony, but he sent rich

It lias often been said that the in
ventions of the liveliest imagination
of romance writers are always sur
passed by the reality. The following
is a new and curious proof of this
saying : An officer of the engineer
corps, who has just arrived here
(Odessa) from Kicheueff, the head
quarters of the Russian Army of the
South, relates in his own language
this curious little history:
There is nothing talked of down
there at Kicheueff hut of a most
romantic incident. Two years ago,
at a masked ball in St. Petersburg, a
black uomiuo accosted Prince D ,
an officer of the Ataminski regiment
of Cossacks, in these terms: “ I love
you, Prince ; will you love me ?”
“ Why not ? But, first, I should
like to see what that sombre domino
covers.”
“Not so fast; consent, at first, to
answer my question.”
“ What! love you without know**
mg whether yon are pretty or ugly,
young or old ?”
“ Yes.”
Prince D broke out into aloud
laugh, which Y\*as not very proper, as
he himself confessed, and, bettveen
the two peals of laughter, he replied :
“ Well, yes, I will love you ; will you
lay aside that rag, now ?”
lie sought to unmask the un
known ; but she recoiled, saying,
“ Now less than ever. I have your
promise ; I retire, and in two years
yon will see me?”
“Tyvo years?”
“ Yes, in two years, I will be your
wife.”
. “ My wife in two years ?”
“ Certainly.”
“ Am I affianced,- then! Is it to a
demon, or an angel ?”
And he broke out into a new
laugh, for he look the adventure for
a joke. The unknoYvn answered :
“ To a Yvoman yvIio loves you—
rich, beautiful, powerful aud sixteen
years ot age.’*
“ My dear journalist,” interrupted
the engineer officer, “you see things
are in Russia as in France.”
Prince D exclaimed, “Alas,
why Yvait tY\’o years ? We shall be
old or dead by that time. Tyvo
years! two centuries!”
The XTcrw IPaarfcjr-

New party,
Which, when it is done,
Is going to smash,
Into eternal crush,
All other parties under the sun:
Whigs,
Nigs,
Fire eating rebs,
Tramps,
Scamps,
Reconstructed confeds,
Hot abolitionists,
Raw prohibitionists,
Labor reformers, frantic protectionists,
The temrexpues. I will go to re
join you, Yvere it even in another
world, for I love you so that I would
renounce my own life if God should
take yours.”
He set out. At Kicheueff' he was
introduced to the Princess D , a
young lady of eighteen, a beauty, a
pearl, a master-piece of nature, re
cently from St. Petersburg. After
some days he remarked that the
young Princess did not look upon
him Yvith indifference. Their intima
cy increased. One fine evening, or
one fine morning, she said to hint:
“ Prince, I love you ; I am rich ;
marry me.”
The unfortunate Prince tvas con
founded ; then summoning his cour
age, he frankly told her his situation.
“ Oh !” exclaimed the Princess, “ I
know her very well; she is an intrig
uante ; she does not love you.”
“ You must deceive yourself; a
person cannot write as she does to
me without loving.”
“ I assure you she is merely acting.
You do not know her, or rather you
know her face but not her heart. I
am the very opposite; a heart like
mine cannot assume a part it does
not fee’*”
The little Princess made no irupres
sion; several times she returned to
the attack, but always in vain. At
last, the two years expired on the
12th of February. The lOili, Prince
D received the following tele
gram.
To-morrow evening 1 will be at Kicheneff;
the day after you will ace me, and I will be
your wife when you please. The sooner the
better. The Unknown.
It was that she had signed her let
ters to that date. On the 12th,
Prince D——was requested to re
pair at noon to a property in the
environs of the town, which was
indicated to him, He fletv thither.
He was introduced in a large saloon,
where he waited five mortal minutes,
She appeared at last.
“ Here I ani!” she said.
“ Heaven! the Princess K !”
It was, in fact, she. She had left
St. Petersburg at the same time with
the Prince, and had fixed herself at
Kicheneff, whence she sent to a con
fidante the letters which the lover
tvas to continue to receive from the
Capital. Thanks to this subterfuge

An Ingenious Swindle.
A most remarkable case of swind
ling, involving avarice and crednlity
on the one side and positive genius
on the other, has lately been recorded.
In England there is a class of sport
ing men who regularly advertise that
they are prepared to receive sums to
be invested in a coming horse race
or steeple chase, the result of which,
from special information gained by
them, is a certainty, and there are
always people ready to listen to their
story and risk the chances ot winning
or losing. In the case in question a
gang of these sharpers concocted a
most ingenious plot, which had it not
been that too much pressure was
brought to bear upon their victim,
Yvould have been remarkably suc
cessful. The first act on their part
Yvas to induce a printer in Edinburgh,
Scotland, to strike off a number of
copies of his paper, called The Sport,
containing an account of the success
ful betting speculation of a Mr. Hugh
Montgomery. That gentleman had,
according to the article in question,
invented a neYv system of betting, by
which he had realized three millions
of dollars. With rare generosity he
had spent the greater part of this sum
in charity, and the names of the in*
stitutions to whose support he had
contributed were given. A check
plate yy’hs next given to the printer
and a thousand bank checks thrown
oft’ on the Royal Bank of London,
an institution which existed only in
imagination. With these, the news
paper article translated into French
and printed as a circular, a French
| directory, and some note paper with
an armorial crest, the stock in trade
j of the swindlers was complete and
; their operations began. Amongst
j the parties in France to whom copies
j of the paper and circular were mailed
| Yvas the Comjesse de Goncourt, own
ing and residing at a chateau in the
Department, of Marne. Upon read
ing the marvelous story of success
there chronicled, she determined to
increase her wealth, and at once sent
.a check for one thousand dollars to be
vested in the “system,” .Fortune
IWtHttr, and in a short time she-
-received sevcraT^eclcs for suiiis"
varying, fn 'fthbSTaS't^Rrdnr $5,000 to .
$20,0°0, all drawn on the Royal
Bank of London by Geo. Simpson,
i This encouraged her, and she con-
; tinned sending remittances until she
had forwarded §50,000 to be placed
on a certain handicap. Just before
I the race, however, she received a
j letter informing her that under the
| law of England it would he necessary
j for her, in order to secure the
amounts she had already won, to
j send six thousand dollars. At this
request she felt some slight alarm
j and consulted her lawyer in Paris.
That gentleman de dared she had been
! swindled, and took measures to de
tect the guilty parties vvliich were so
successful that in a short time five of
them were arrested and committed
for trial. They were ably defended
by counsel, but were found guilty
and sentenced to terms of imprison
ment with hard labor, ranging from
eighteen months to fifteen years.
The most remarkable feature in the
case is that all of the money; Yvith the
exception of §5,000, Yvas recovered.
Over §12,000 Yvas found in the pos
session of one of the prisoners at his
arrest, 818,000 was discovered de
posited in a Scottish bank, and 812,-
000 given up voluntarily. The
Countess no doubt returned to her
chateau a wiser woman, and will in
future seek other means of increasing
her fortune than inves’.ing in a neYV
system of betting with philanthropic
gentlemen Yvho are the soul of honor.
“ Has that jury agreed ?” asked the
judge of a sheriff, Yvhom he met on the
8tair8with a bucket in his hand. “Yes,”
replied Patrick, “ they have agreed
to send out for half a gallon.”
A little boy Yvas munching a bit of
gingerbread. His mother asked who
gave it to him. *Mis9 Johnson gave it
to me*’ * And did you thank her for
it?’ ‘Yes, I did, but I didn’t tell her
