A GENUINE ROMANCE. In the beginning of 1840, Henrv Leffingwell was a well-to-do mechanic, living near the suburbs of London, England. In the month of March of that year a larceny was committed near his residence, and circumstances pointed to him as the perpetratoi. He was arrested, examined before one of the stipendiary magistrates and f1 iy committed for trial. A month after lie was convicted and sentenced to hard labor in the penal colony of Australia for a period of ten years; and in less than a week thereafter, he was on his way to the far off land. His devoted wife, who all the time firmly believed in her husband’s inno cence, at once made prep irations to follow’ and remain near him during his confinement, so that she might be the first, when his ticket of leave came, to cheer him with good counsel aud coin fort him with wifely love. The ship containing ths convict ar rived safe, and her charge of living human Livings was at once transferred to the government workhouses. Not so, however, the ship upon which Mrs. Lefiingw’ell embarked. When about half way upon her journey she en countered a fearful storm and, after buffeting the waves for tw'o days, she foundered and went down. The crew and Mrs. Leffiingwell barely escaped upon a raft hastily constructed when it was found that the ship could not be saved. After an exposure of several days, they were picked up by the American ship North Wind, bound from New Y r ork to China, where Mrs. Leffingwell was at length landed, only’ to find herself further than ever from her destination, and with no immediate prospects of reaching it. After sever al months of patient watching and waiting she was enabled, through the kind offices of the American Consul, then residing at Yeddo, to procure passage to Cuba, whence the prospect of re iching Australia would be very much improved. Passing through the space of a year and a ha f, in which Mrs. Liffingwell passed through many scenes calculated to try firmer resolutions than hers, but through which she clung to her resolve with true English obstinacy, she fir,ally found herself on the shores of Austra lia, but as much at a loss concerning the locality of her husband's wherea bouts as she would be of a needle for which she would be hunting in a hay mow. She persevered, however, but four long years passed away before she was enabled to obtain the slightest trace of her husband, from the fact that when once landed from the ship, each convict receives a number by which be is only known to bis keepers. Mrs. Li ffingwell knew not her bus band’s number, and when she made inquiries for him she was always baf fled with the question, ‘‘His number, ma’am ?” At the end of the time spoken of, during which her means had become exhausted, and she had been compelled to resort to menial labor, she one day picked up a Sydney paper, in which was an account of her husband s re lease, the real criminal of the larce y having been found out and exported. The account gave her husband’s num ber and the facts which convicted him in so precise a manner, that she could no longer doubt as to who was meant. H* r course was marked out at once. — Going to the prison authorities, she at length learned that “ti.-ket-of-leave mn, No. ISO,” her husband’s number, had left for the United Sute3 of America two weeks after his release. The next thing lor her to do was to follow him. Scraping together her seamy means, she found that she pos sessed barely enough to pay her pas sage. She seized upou the first op portunity presented aud in June, 1847, she found herself once more upon the ocean, bound for the laud of the free, with her mission still unaccomplished. In due time she arrived in New York city, where she remained until the civil war broke out, not having in the meantime heard one word cf her husband, though she had made every exertion to find his whereabouts. When the war broke out, and at the first call for nurses iu the hospitals, she responded, and until peace was declared there were none more faithful in the care of our wounded than Mrs. Llara Leffingwell. 7\ bi'e in one of the hospitals at \\ nursed to 1 fe and strength a man who knew her husband in the army,* who bad been liis messmate and boon .compan ion, and who, in his delirium, constant ly called upon bis comrade to come to his assistance. When the crises was passed and it was known that the sol dier would live, she questioned him concerning her husband, and ascer tained that lie was in a Pennsylvania regiment, having enlisted two years before. She at once addressed Leffing well a letter, stating ;n fall her efforts to find him, and detailing at length her disappointments and troubles.— W ith the usual perversity of armv mails, the letter never reached its des tination. Mrs. waited anu waited, but still no answer came, and at length when the Was* was over she set out once more in seaach of her husband. A visit to Phtsburg reveal ed ti e lact that her husband’s term of enlistment had expired long before and his identity was onse more lost.— She inserted advertisements in a num ber of the Pennsylvania papers, call- ing for information of his whereabouts, and then sat herself again to watch and wait. Time crept, slowly on, and still no tidings of her A week ago, w hen s* had given up all hope of ever seeing her husband again, she very unexpectedly received direct information of lits pla e of abode from one who came across the adver tisement of three years before. The paper containing it had providentially escaped the destruction wi ich usually comes upon the dailies of the different cities and now was the weans of unit ing two persons who, for twenty-eight years, had been separated by a cruel fate. Our heroine at once made preparations to go to her husband, who lives to or near Cinc nnati, and who had been apprised of her coming. She accordingly left Pittsburg on Fri day morning, and arrived in Cleve land in the afternoon of the same day. What was her surprise and pleasure, on alighting from the cars at the Union Depot to procure some refreshments, to be confronted by her husband. For a moment they stared at each other, and then, with a simultaneous impulse, they rushed into each other’s arms, ad unconscious of the gaping crowd, who, with the usual curiosity, had paused in their hurry to witness the scene The years that bad separated them, though they had silveied the heads of each, and left lines of care upon their brows, had not eradicated the love they bore one another, or torn from their hearts the memory of the olden time, before relentless fate had so cruelly thrust them asunder. The trials of the past were forgotten in the present joy, and they took the traiu for home at seven in the evening, hfqr y only in each ot ti er’s company. It was whi e they wero wailing the departure of t r (hii einnati train, and through the kind of fices of one of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Radroad officials, to whom Mis. Leffingv . <vi had revealed a part of her history, that me above was re ceived. Sam and lim. “Como, Sam, let’s in and take a little. Old Bob Buunjer keeps the best 1 quor in town.

Beside, I have been figuring on this mattersome, and what do vnu suppose it coutsos to patronize olu Bob ?” “Well, a dollar or tvo a week, I sup pose,” said J im, Bam, taking a pen< i and a piece of paper from his pocfpt-bonk, handed them to Jim. and said. ‘ Let us look at it fully, and make afar calculation.— You depo-it— “Your money—and ose it. “Y r our time—and lose if. “Your character—aid lose it. “Your health of bidy—and lose it. “Your strength of mnd—and lose it. “Your manly’ iudspendence —and lose it. ‘•Your self respect —md lose it. “Your sense of rigat aud wrong — and lore it. “Your seli control—and lore it. “Y T our home comfort —and lose it. “YYur wife's happiness —and lose it. “Your children's lights —and lose them. “Your country’s honor —and loss it. “Your own soul—and lose it. “Sam, I’ll take the pledge for life on that.

AroUT ADVERTISEMENTS. —Do not fail to read advertisements The per son who takes a paper now a-days, and neglects to read over advertise ments, is apt to lose much valuable in formation. The advertising patron*- age of a paper indie ites not only the euterpri.se of the city and County where it is published but it is also an infalli ble proof that the bus ness men are possessed of vim and go-a-headative nesi. Soow us a business community which don’t advertise, at.d we’ll show you a community where busiress is stagnated. The man who advertises in a liberal, yet discreet manner, is sure to take the lead of his ne ghbor who don’t spend a cent for printer’s ink. It is also conceded that a man who'advertises keeps a 1 trger, better and more complete stock of goods, and sells them cheaper than the man who don’t advertise If you want good bar gams call on the man who advertises. | Savannah News. Absence of Mind. —A bachelor friend of ours is irv the nabit, when he comes to his room in the evening, of putting his tea-kettle on the stove, and himself lying down on the lounge and tak ng a snooze until the kettle begins to sing, when he gets up and make** his tea.

A Gooff Thinjf. 'HIS CURIOUS OARD-PI.AYER AND THE nisnop. A good story used to be told bv (L think) Pierce Eagan, the elder which is a gem in its way. The Bishop of ‘ J ’as a man of eminently social and congenial habits, and King some thing of an original 1 imself, his rever ence could heartily appreciate a good j Le. An eccentric of any kind would bring more joy to his heart than a hundred liturgies or orisons, and when he came across anything of the kind he gave it Lis entire attention. One waim day in summer he was travelling in a part of Lancashire, and had stop ped at a hostelry to shake off the fatigue and dust of the journey. After taking a snack of lunch he w’andered out in a pleasant little grove that stood convenient to tV inn, which was deli ciously cool. ITeaiing the sound of voices he peered through a hedge of bushes and beheld a man silting on the root of n tree, with twoj ands dealt for a game of ca ds, and giving vent to excited ejaculations. A lunatic probably, thought his rev erence and at the same time coughed friig+rtly. j oa man ra’sed his head, hut his eyes were not devoid of reason, and he bowed respectfully to the shepherd. My’ son, said the Bishop, you seem quite bes de yourself. May I ask what y<>u are engaged at ? Certainly replied the man : I am having a rubber with God, ’I his convinced hi reverence of the mans lunacy, and at the same time he saw no harm in pursuing the subject And how does the luck run ? said the Bishop blandly. I have no chance at all to-day, rep’ied the man, throwing up the cards in disgust, I already owe Him one pound four and six. And-how do you pay your losses? Oh, lie always sends some good per son to whom I make over the amount for the poor. I see you are a clergy man, sir; pray take this and use it as you see proper ; and he counted out of a well-filled purse the amount men tioned, which the Bishop accepted without scruples of any kind. He then bade his singular acquaintance good day, and returned to the inn.— The money was judiciously laid out for charitable purposes. For many days the prelate did not see Ins fl glity friend again. He happened to be going the same way soon after, and passing the spot forbidden to clergy men, liz: the tap-room of the tavern, he beheld his friend solacing his sor iows with a cup of negus. His rever ence sat sentry some time in a window above, and after awhile saw the man emerge from the inu and disappear in the grove. Donning his chapeau, he followed in his trail, and after a little search, found the man as before seated on (he root of u tree, wi b ihe paste boards spread out before him. Well, my son. said the Bishop ples anlly, how runs the luck to day { Better, better, thank you, replied the g ntleman ; I was flush with money, and have just won a large stake —forty pounds. And how does God pay you? said his reverence, with a pleasant smile at the man’s silly’ theory. lie sends along some rich person, and groping m the pockets of his coat tail, they give whatever I have won.— The hand came out of the pock t with a jerk, and there was a villainous li tie pistol cocked aud primed staring his reverence unpleasantly in the face.— His i-lerical knees knocked together, and he dropped his pockeibook before the extraordinary gamester. I should say about twenty pounds, said he, the contents; but your time piece Will settle the difference. Off came the Bishop’s watch, which was gold and gouty. That’s a fine ring you have, said the rr.an, but you may keep it; adding despondently, remember, allowing sev enteen pounds for the watch, you are Mill a trifle in my debt, but you in v do with it as you did with the other- His reverence w;is out about a hundred guineas, but with a pvais wortby appreciation of a good joke, he afterwards related it himself with a great unction. Too Sharp by An enterprising business man of this c'ty runs two b andies of trade, to-wit : a grocery and a fish market. The grocery he runs himself, the fish market by’ a deputy, and every the lat ter makes returns of the proceeds of the day’s business to the proprietor. A day or two since the grocer found in his fish maiket returns, a counterfeit five dollar bill. He didn’t like to lose it, and lie didn’t quite want to take the chance of trying to pass it; So he called an old darkey who v;as hai ging about the premises and said to him : “Sam here’s a five dollar bill that s a little doub'ful, if you will take it ana pass it, I’ll give you a dollar of the change.” “Very well,” said Sam, and he took the bill and went off. Later in the day he returned, having accomplished the feat, and handed over five dollars in good money’ to the grocer. That night the grocer, in counting over the cash returns from his fish market, was more surprised than de lighted to find the identical five in tlte nile. “Look here,” said lie slmrply to his market clerk, “here’s a counterfeit bill, who did you take it of \ Didn t you know ’twas bad if” Clerk took it and looked at it for a moment. ‘‘Oh, yes,” said be, “I remember now ; L took it of Sam, the darkey. I thought it was a little doubtful, an 1 wasn’t going to take it, and he said he got it of you, so l thought it was all right Further explanation was unnecessa ry.—Hartford Post, dr the papers relate ai> anecdote of a young man who had become blind, having recovered his s'ght a f ter marriage.

Cpnspi. nous among the attractions of “Rose Ilill Cemetery,” in this city, is the vault in which reposes tl.e re mains of \\ i liam Zeigler, late of Crawford county, in this State, it was erected there by his Executor, iw conformity with specific instructions contained in his last will and teaUnnont. He gave minute directions in'ni|yr<i to the selection of Irs coffin and shroud, and ex pie; sod the dr sire that the site tor his vault should he located as near as practicable to the monument erected to the memory of the late Oliver II Prince, E-q. Jhe dimensions of his vault, the materials of which it should he coO'tructed, and all ot its appurte nances, were indicated by himself in tl,iis most solemn form It remained in a good state of preservation from IBst,jhe year in which he became its tenant, qtjdil ten years afterwards, when it was visited fey some of "rih.-r --tran s angels,” whose sacniigi ms hands did not spire even the homes of our siec*' ing dead. Hut it is not of this vault that we intended to sp“sk. We v. juid sager,’ however, to those who shared his ample fortune, to repair the damages which it has sustained, and to proserve it in future in the manner indicated bv their munificent benefactor. Anotiier provision of 1 is will has elicited no little comment in our city for several days p st, which was, doubth ss. occasioned by the appearance in our midst of two strangers, in the person of a colored woman and tier daughter, from the State of Ohio.— Public curiosity was, to some extent, satisfied, when it was ascertained that they were legatees under the will ol W til lain Zegler, and that their visit to our city was for the purpose of engag ing counsel to ins ltute suit, if neces sary, for the recovery of their respec tive legacies. Having learned that our friend, Col. John 13. VVeems, had been retained .by them fir this purpose, we took the liberty of s diciting of him an examination of the item of tl.e will under which they claim. During his life he owned a woman slave named Maiy, by w mm he had three children, to-wif; Madnda Ann, William Henry and Oetavia, the pa ternity of whom, it is conceded, Mr. Zeigler always acknowledged. The future we fare of this woman and her children seemed to be his chief care.— lie provided in the second item of his will for tlier removal, at his death, to a State whose liws would tolerate their prompt manumission, and for them to be comfortably settled there by 'is Executor; the expanses should be paid out of his estate. ID thus b queailied to Mary the sum of ten thnu-and do - lars, and to each of the said children the sum of thirty thousand dollars, the interest of which should be applied to their support, education and mainten ance until they should arrive, resnec tio ly, t,-, tha n .rn ~f t ll'Pn ty -OOP y, nv * In the event of the death of either of the children before majority, be further provided, that his or her share should be equally 7 divided between the survi vors, and in ca s e two of them should die, their legacies should vest in the survivor. It is evident from tho letter, as well as the spirit of Ins will, that ample provision for Mary and her children was prominent in his mind.— After the execution of his will it oc curred to him that a bequest, directly to them, might defeat his intentions; hence he published a codicl, bequeath ing their respective legacies to his two brothers. Henry and L was Zeigler and his nephew and executor, John W. Dent, in trust for the children, and required of each a bend with approved security, in the sum <>f fifty thousand dollars for the Faithful execution of their trusts. The testamentary trustees or guar dians having renounced their trusts, others weie appointed in their stead, in due form of law an l according 'o the requirements set forth in the codicil. — It is against the trustees and their secuiities that a recovery wiil ho invoked. We forbear Any expr ‘ssion of opinion upon the case. as it will be soon suhj cted to judicial investigation in the Ciicuit Court of the United States The amount claimed by them approx imates to the handsome sum of $-'OO,OOO.

A note whs read from 11. P.

He said ; “I am no speaker gentlemen ; hut if there are any ‘devils’ among you, send them down and I will press them out.” Mr. G. is connected with the press, being the agent for Utley’s excellent patent. Mayor Mcllliauey, of Columbus, was introduced, and entertained tho auwience with a few most appropriate remarks. Mr. Medlock proposed ‘‘the local Press of Atlanta.” Dr. Bard was called for, but fee excused himself in a few wotds, and threw the ta-k upon our excellent friend, Col. Avery, of the Constitution.

Other toasts were offered and othet speeches made, but there was such a gush of jollity that we lost, ‘‘the hang of the ti ing’ entirely, and had. to cease taking notes. On the whole, it was a most pleasant reunion, without a single accident to mar the enjoyment. It was not until the “clock hung on the stioke o’twelvo” that the assembly bloke up.

An old lady was asked what she thought of her neighbors of the name of Jones, and v/itu a knowing wink replied : “\N by. 1 don’t like to say’ anything about my neighbors; but as to Mr. Jon s, sometimes I think, and then again Id -n’t know ; after all, I rather goes- he'll turn out to be a good deal such a fellow as I took him for.” A peaceful disposition is not ab* solute protection against the turmoils of life. What's more peaceful than a cam ? And yet, ten to one, it ends its life in a broil. And then bow peacea ble an oyster is?
