THE STORY OF TWO LOVERS.
A ROMANCE BEGAN IN THE HEBRIDES AND
CONTINUED ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
[From tfie Concord (A. H.) Patriot.']
Twenty-six years ago James Sand
erson, a respectable person residing in
the Scottish Hobrides, then verging on
forty years, made court to a girl some
sixteen years of age, and was accepted;
but a rival much younger interferred,
and bore off the prize. This made
Sanderson feel revengeful; and the
girl’s new lover having been engaged
in smuggling, Sanderson informed up
on him. and he had to leave the islands
to which he. never came back. The
people were so violent against Sander
son that he, too, was forced to leave
but bad married before doing so, his
wife being taken to spite his old mis
tres., u iio had not got married.
Braving on flic Amcaican Pacific
coast in safety, he purchased a large
tract of land a few miles north of Fort
La.ii'd' v, ami devoted himself to the
agri ulturald* velopnv nt with so much
energy and skill that a few years made
him comparatively wealthy. Bettor
than this, however, the new life
brought with it such endearment of
the woman whom lie had wedded with
out of her love than he had been able
io stimulate for her deception, that
the increase < f their children was his
conversion into the fondest of hus
bands; and when, in 18(11, he became
a w idower, he remained so ten years,
when he sent home to a sister in the
Hebrides to engage a wife for him.
His old flame was selected, and said
she was willing to go to him whom
she had gilte<l twenty-five years be
fore.
From the time of her second lover’s
hasty flight under the denunciation of
his enemy, the smuggler’s sweetheart
had never‘heard of that individual
again; and the lapse of time and the
increasing burdens ot her lowly estate
made her much less imperious at for
ty than she was at sixteen. The weal
thy farmer of British Columbia, sent
her ample means for her outfit and
voyage, and the long voyage was ac
complished without incident as far as
San Franci a’o. From the latter city
she was to p.ioceed up the coast to her
destination on a steamer in which a
passage was specially secured for her,
and while awaiting this vessel she was
seen and recognized at a hotel by the
uecepte I lover of her youth, who had
bu n in California ever since his un
timely departure from Hebrides.
There was a dramatic meeting, a long
storv on either side, and—alas, for the
waiting widow a full revival of the
old love.
Both lover’s however, were much
Norb«><l by flu- d>K<*ipfiiio of maturei
years; and the lady, having explained
by whose wish and means she was in
America, declared that she must go
onward as she had promised, and ful
fill her engagement if it was still exact
cd. She would faithfully tell all to
him who awaited her at the end of
her journey, confess that she could
never love him now as she had lately
thought possible, and abide by his
own decision. If he yet claimed her
he must be obeyed; if not she would
return to San Francisco. As the sto
ry with her reappearance in the Cali
fornia city a few' days ago, and quiet
marriage there to Cue former smuggler,
it may be inferred that the Columbian
widower was at once sensible and
magnanimous under his last disap
pointment, and finally proved himself
tin friend of the woman with whom
fate had twice denied him a nearer,
dearer rehilionship.
Imagine an old negro slumbering
with his Let pointing ton glimmer
ing lire. Opening one eye and gets a
glimp-e of them ns they stand in the
obscurity. Mistakes them for two lit
tle negroes mid cries: ‘Gif sum ton*
me! iiiid xvlapses into sleep. Aftei
