ROMANCE IN LIFE. From Forecastle and Coal Yard to the r Pulpit. The Boston Record has been told a story -a story of real life—a story of struggle wit h the apparently impossible; of ambition, of success so wonderful that some will say that it is but romance—a story of love and its culmination as a fitting and final triumph. One evening last week a pretty wedding was solemnized at a beautiful residence in Roxburv. The bride was attired in heavy white silk, and wore a voluminous veil, gcores of intelligent men and beautiful women crowded about with their congratu lations. Many and costly were the gifts which were bestowed upon the bridal pair bv their friends, and many were the con gratulations which were showered upon Them. But this is anticipating. It was about thirteen years ago that a ves sel firing a foreign flag entered the harbor of Providence, R. I. Among the crew was a young Norwegian, scarcely more than a j a j who, as the vessel entered the bay and finally dropped anchor in the outer harbor, gazed upon the almost matchless beauty of the Narmgansett shores. His heart swelled within him as ho thought of this as the Western land of promise, of which he had so often heard, and a great determination rose in his heart to make this his future home, to bring hither his widowed mother ami establish for them both a habitation in the land of liberty. ' His voyage over, he received the pittance due him and went on shore. He was alone, a stranger in a strange land. Time, he could speak English, for he had been taught the language in the Norwegian schools. Beyond this lie was helpless. Where should he turn? Whither should he go ? He wandered along the docks until he reached the great iron drawbridge which spans the river almost at its mouth. Half crossing tho bridge he stopped in mid stream and stood gazing down the bay. Ho could see the vessel in which ho came, the j only home he knew. The flag still fluttered a t the peak and seemed to call to him to re turn to the land of the North. But he could not do that. He had resolved to test this new world and see what it had in store for hjni, But where should he look for shelter; to whom should he look for aid. For some time he stood thus gazing down the bay and lost in reverie. He did not hear the slow tramp of a horse and the dull rum ble of wheels upon the planks of the bridge. He did not notice that the vehicle suddenly stopped near him and that a pleasant-faced gentleman was leaning from a buggy and looking intently at him. A moment more and he was startled by an exclamation: ‘•Hullo!" The young Norwegian turned and saw What has been described. The gentleman in the buggy beckoned to him. He drew near, wondering. •‘Who are you, young man? What are you standing * here for?” asked the gentle man, kindly. “I am a Norwegian sailor, sir,” answered the young man. “I have just reached your country, and I think I will stay if I can find a home and work.” “Perhaps I can help you. Get in with me. I will see what I can do for you.” The Norwegian complied, still wondering. He was taken to the house of a Swedish em ploye of his newly-found friend, where he found a tempo rary home. In a few days work was provided for him, and his career in this country was fairly begun. The limits o/ a newspaper article are in sufficient to tell the tale of the subsequent decade. By hsrd labor he succeeded in sav ing money enough to bring his mother to his new home. Then his happiness was com plete. But not long after her arrival he was thrown out of work. This was in the hard winter of 1876. Nothing opened for him save a situation in a cosil yard, where he was employed in delivering coal to cus tomers. But he yearned for something bet ter than this. A great ambition filled his soul. He determined to become a minister. “What shall I do?” he inquired of afriend. “Get a thorough education first,” was the advice, and then see what opens. He had no money, but he had a brave heart. Procuring a few elementary Latin and Greek books he took them under his arin and directly enlisted for a year as an ordinary seaman on board the revenue cut ter Samuel Dexter. A queer thing to do, you say. So it was, but he knew what he was about. He studied diligently in all his spare hours, and when his term of enlist ment had expired he had kept pace with the class at the preparatory school at East Greenwich and, having saved his wages, liad sufficie t funds to pay his tuition for the second year. He studied hard. The lii xf summer he was employed as a sailor on L'ster \\ allack's yacht, and so earned ami savr-d money enough to carry him through the third year and fit him for Yale. The next year he entered Yale and strug gled through by teaching and preaching. A portion of the time he was employed by Pi''l. Phelps, now United States Minister to England, as a private tutor in bis family. He was rising in the world, you see. advice, and then see what opens. He had no money, but he had a brave heart.

A graduate of Yale, finally, with a high tank, he entered the theological school, and for the first year occupied the pulpit of a church in a small town near New Haven, i hen he was called to the theological school where he taught English to a class of Scandinavian students. Meantime he completed his studies in theology, and a lew months ago was graduated with honor. ->ow comes our love story, adding a charming chapter to this romantic life. His widowed mother had taken a second hus har.d and had settled upon a farm in Dakota, cvt summer the whilom Norwegian sailor, new a college and theological graduate, a gentleman cultivated, educated and refined, journeyed to Dakota, for the purpose of Paring a visit to his mother.

AS PROM THE DEAD. Cape Cod Polks Figure In a New Ro mance.

She wiped her fair face, down which the trickling tears had flowed, when Barren Leveling, a worthy citizen of the adjacent village of Chatham, asked her to be pas wife. Happiness ensued, and the birth of two children fitted the measure of Mr. Loveling’s joy. NEWS FROM THE SUPPOSED DEAD. A short time ago the postmaster at Brew ster received a letter of inquiry from Al pheus My rick. Happening to be at Liver- P?pb he thought that he would write to his old home to ascertain if his wife was alive, and how many of the Myrick family were gathered to their fathers. The letter was passed over to a brother of Alpheus Myrick by the postmaster, to whom it was addressed. Cliarles Myrick was astounded by the intelligence. He supposed his brother long since dead. When he re covered from his amazement he told his sis ter the startling development and sat down to communicate with the wanderer. In the letter which Charles Myrick addressed to his brother, the family history was sketched from the date of Alpheus’ departure up to the present time. The story of the second marriage of his wife and the reasons there for were related in detail. After the letter was sent Charles Myrick enjoined secrecy as to the discovery of his brother’s presence in the flesh. * THE WANDERER RETURNS. One night last week a gray-haired man over fifty years of age alighted at the little station of the Old Colony railroad at Brew ster when the evening train from Boston ar rived. Repairing at once to the Myrick homestead the stranger disclosed his identi ty. It was Alpheus Myrick. He had jour neyed from England hither to get a glimpse once more of the home of his boyhood, and to see his old friends again. A person who knew him well and conversed with him, re lates the following : “I should have known it was Alpheus Myrick the minute I clapped my eyes on him, even if I hadn’t known he had come back to life and was expected home every day. It was the same chap he was twenty seven years ago, only grown older, and he didn’t seem to have grown old near so fast as we have here in Brewster. He said that when he went from London in that small steamer it was a stormy voyage they made, and when they finally did get into port they were seventy-live days overdue. From the Indies he cruised about everywhere, taking good care to keep away from this country while the war lasted, as his father had warned him. Letters were not answered which he sent, and he quit writing them. “Finally, about seven years after he had left Brewster, he was in a port in South America, where some Cape Cod seamen were lying to, and he once heard several of them talking about news from home, and one man from Chatham said: ‘Well, they say that poor Alpheus Jl vrick's widow has married again—a man at Chatham.’ That was enough for him. “On the strength of that he gave up fol lowing the sea, and determined to settle down right there in South America and never go back to Cape Cod again. He never wrote any letters after tlmt or tried to get communication from home. He stayed there for a number of years without going to sea, and was but a few miles all the time from the South American port where his brother Charles was sailing to, back and forth from New York. After a while he took to the sea again, and became as great a wanderer as before, going all over the world, but never near Cape Cod. Last win ter he was in Liverpool, and it was there he wrote from to find out if all hands in Brew ster were dead ami what kind of a reception he might expect if ho should come home.” Alpneus Myrick did not receive the letter sent to him 'by his brother Charles. Al though he was aware of the marriage of his wife he could not resist the desire in his heart to return to the Cape once more. Af ter seeing his brother and sister he returned to Boston, never to set face in Brewster again. Ho has ere this left the country. THE SEASON OPENED. A Snake Story on the Good Old Plan and as True as Ever. From tke Doylestoum Democrat. Abner O. Crouthamel, of Keller's Church, Bedmininister township, is strictly a tem perate man. It was on Sunday afternoon, April 24, A. D. 1887, that that gentleman strolled through Jordan A. Snyder’s woods enjoying the warm sunshine and balmy breezes. An adventure in that peaceful nook of nature did not enter Mr. Crouthamel’s miml; yet it is the unexpected that is always happening. As he walked quietly over the leafy mold, through which an occasional rash wild flower had raised its pretty head in defiance of frost and snow, his atten tention was attract'd by a peculiar noise. Ho turned and looked in the direction from whence the noise proceeded and beheld at his feet a mass of snakes—at least fifty, he estimated. There were big snakes -and little snakes, the largest one being, as near as he could tell, about twelve feet long, and the smallest of more circumscribed di mensions. There were all varieties in digenous to the vicinity—black snakes, cop per snakes, garter snakes, pilots, house snakes, water snakes, etc., interlaced and twisted into a mass of color resembling a chef d,'oeuvre of an oriental loom or the crazy patchwork handiwork of a society belle, studded with rubies and sapphires and emeralds and diamonds. Mr. Crouthamel did not contemplate the beautiful picture many seconds, but returned home imme diately for his gun. Now and then he stoppod along the way long enough to tell a passing neighbor the wonderful story, and when he was ready to return with his trusty shotgun, that had doomed many a rabbit and pheasant to an untimely stewing pan, twenty-five neigh bors, including several courageous young ladies, had assembled to accompany him to the battlefield. A caucus was held and Mr. Crouthamel was compelled to rejieat his story and minutely describe each kind of snake he had seen. A discussion followed as to what kind of snakes they really were, and some of the caucus members talked of going home to consult their schlong book, that is to say their snake book, so that they could agree. This was abandoned, how ever. But the caucus was ill-advised, as nearly all the snakes had taken opportunity f tbo delay and crawled back into their dens under the rocks. When the assaulting party arrived but icvcn remained of all the fifty snakes, and Mr. Crouthamel, being a good marksman, soon dispatched these, the longest of which measured 7 feet. The great battle was fcmght and won. Homeward their way The snake party wended— The schlong story's ended. Langtry and Bernhardt. From the New York Sun. One of the funniest things of the season aro the series of pictures which a photo grapher has made of Langtry and Bern hardt. They could be called Spring and Pall, or Nature and Art, or the Is and the Was. They are hang in a Broadway win dow in the following order: The first repre sents Langtry in a simple braided stuff dress, her beautiful hair brushed I Mick, her entire person without ornament, and almost stout in her robust health. Bernhardt is wrapped in a huge cloak, wearing a hat from under which project*a mass of frizzled hair and the pinched little face, her long, bony arms encused in the inevitable wrinkled gloves, and their claws clasped in an attitude of penitence. Bernhardt’s face is full front, while Langtry’s is sharp profile, gazing with an amused look at the weird genius beside her. In the next picture Bernhardt keeps the same attitude, but Langtry has evidently found out who it is, and Is proportionally amused, for her face is adorned with a positive laugh, and there is a cast in the eye next to the famous French actress that seems to invite you to catch on to her side partner and see if you don’t find her rs funny us she does. The portrait of Langtry shows how much flesh she has accumulated during the season. Her face is as round as an apple, and certainly these last pictures would never moke a reputation for ethereal beauty. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1887. A NEWSBOY’S NERVE. Clinging to a Rope of an Escaped Bal loon for Fifty Miles. From the San Francisco Examiner. A recent trip of a scientific party in a bal loon recalls to memory the thrilling ad venture of a Son Francisco newsboy who took an involuntary excursion in a balloon from Oakland to Suisun Plains. Like that of the scientific part)' the ascension was un heralded. But it was alike the town talk and the excitement of the hour. Balloon ascensions were of rare occur rence, and the announcement that a large balloon was to go up from a garden in Oak land was sufficient to fill three steamer loads of excursionists from San Francisco. Tt was an exceptionally pleasant Sunday after noon in August, and a Mr. Kelly was to act as the aeronaut. Numerous small balloons had as usual been provided to test the cur rent of air, and to indicate the probable direction the balloon would take iqion lieing set free. The balloon itself was a fine, large one, constructed of silk, with the usual bas ket attached for carrying passengers. Either Kelly was incompetent, the volume of gas insufficient, or for some other, mid to tho crowd unknown, cause the balloon did not ascend when Kelly seated himself in the suspended car and gave the signal to cut the rope that fastened the balloon to the earth. Instead of going upward it drifted along the ground for some fifty yards, when it was again secured and Kelly jumped to the ground. A lighter man then took his place, but it would not rise with him either. The car was then detached from the balloon and a piece of broad scantling attached to it some four inches in width, resembling a trapeze bar. The people in tho meantime were jeering the professor in a good-natured way, and several asked him to give them a ride, presuming that they would be taken a few yards only. REDDY TAKES A RIDE. Among them was a bright lad of sixteen, though looking much younger. He was a newsboy and orange-peddler, well known in Ban Francisco for Ins quick wit, brilliant shock of intense hair and predisposition for mischief. He was a thin, wiry little fel low, and known by his comrades as “Red dy.” Either of his own motion or at the care less suggestion of some thoughtless person, Reddy jumped astraddle of the suspended scantling and handed his basket of oranges to his partner. Someone sung out, “Let her go!” and up she went, to the consterna tion of everybody that knew it was an acci dent. The boy’s" legs were suspended in the air, and his weight depressed the hoop to which the bar was attached, throwing his back against the ropes of tho balloon, tho ropes being only one-quarter of an inch in circumference. As the boy arose Prof. Kelly cried out to “pull the valve rojie when ho wished to come down.” But the valve rope had caught in the balloon netting and was not to be reached. He ascended rapidly for some forty feet, when a current of air turned the balloon in a southwesterly direc tion, and, clinging to the ropes, he was car ried across an arm of the bay to the south of Oakland. Ho then rose to an immense height. Prof. Kelly mounted a fleet horse and en deavored to follow the course of the balloon in vain. It w seen through a glass to be drifting over the crest of a mountain, but whether the boy still maintained his grip on the ropes or not was uncertain. The course of the voyage was now turned in a north easterly direction. In half an hour from the start the balloon was lost to view, and there were no hopes of the ! ioy’s safety. Death stared him in the face. If he was not dashed to earth he would go up until he reached a great height, when the rarefac tion of the air would destroy him. Another danger awaited him. He was thinly clad and would soon become benumbed and frozen, relax his hold and fall to tho earth. REDDY’S THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Reddy said, in relating his experience, that be “was dizzy at first and shut his eyes, but thought he must brace up, as he was in for it, and do the best ho could.” He saw a panorama of the city. He heal’d people shouting orders from below, but could not distinguish their commands. He was con scious of his position by the changing of the location of objects below him. He claimed never to have lost his presence of mind. He pulled, he thinks at tho valve rope, but it broke in his hand, and the end drifted from him. He looked down and saw a rough country be low, and thought ho would not like to land there, for fear of grizzlies and the addi tional dread of getting into some deep canyon that he would be unable to find his way out of. It was getting along toward dark, and a more level country The boy tried hut failed to reach the valve rope again, and almost gave up, when an inspiration seized him. He thought of his knife. Standing up on the scantling, his limbs already stiffened by the cold and the contracted position that they had been in so long, he reached for his pocket knife, and opening it put it in his teeth, and climbed up the swinging quarter inch rope until lie reached fhe balloon. It would not do to make a large puncture, so he cut a small hole and crawled back to liis perch. The balloon, relieved of its gas, slow ly sank to the ground, and when within a few ieot the boy swung oil from his perilous seat and landed uninjured, except for a slightly sprained ankle. As he leaped the balloon, missing his weight, went up to the clouds again and disappeared almost in stantly. It was now nearly night, and he was five miles from any house on the Suisau plains, and fifteen miles from Benicia. His full name is James Gates, and he is yet living and is prosperous. CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF MONEY. Notes Which Had Been Burned and Eaten by Pigs Redeemed. From the Wajihinyton Dost. Some curious sjiecimens of mutilated note* have recently boon presented at the United States Treasury for redemption. One of these consisted of about SIOO in national bank notes, which had beer: placed in a small tin can for security, but which after wards caught fire in some unknown way and were burned to a crisp. When recovered they resembled nothing except a black char red mass. The package was submitted to experts, and notes to the amount of SSO wexe taken from it in small sections and easily identified. A check to that amount was mailed to the owner. Another case was where the experts wore called u|xm to examine small pieces of pulp, which it was explained was all that re mained of a pocket-book containing about which a Western farmer hud dropped in a field while at work and which hadboaa torn piecemeal by one of his pigs, who had leisure iw •hewed it until it began to taste badly, and had then spit it out in pieces as he trudged along the pasture. All thatcould be found were sent to tho Treasury and enough remnants were discovered to en title the farmer to the suin of S4O in good money. “Bucbu-Paiba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases. sl.
