AN OLD BAN’S ROMANCE.
It is generally held that there is very little of
the romantic element in the American Presidency,
end not without reason, for men enter the Presi
dential-office ft) htc in life that they have become
M matter-of-fact as soapsuds and salerutus; but
vl Governor Ax iscs, of Virginia, inliis recently
jiublinhed and very clever volume. “Seven De
cade* of the Union ” —which well deserves read
wtgives an account of President Tylers second
that is very entertaining. Mr. Tyler be
came a widower while he xvzsb President, losing a
wife who was a very noble •woman, a member of ,
the well known family of Christian, in the Old
Itomii.ion. lie was a domestic man, and h pure
nua. and a second marriage is the most natural j
thing in the world when a man has been happy in '
h hrat marriage; lut then it is thought that a
widower should marry a lady of experience not
unlike his own. Mr. Wise fhfa that he was in
Mr. Tyler's coach, taking a drive with him. in ‘
March. 1844, when he soon discovered that his J
friend would talk only of ldve and ladies. “We
had always heard,” raid Mr. Wise “that an old
fool is the worst of fools in love sickness.” and Be
showed »hc u?ual signs of its contortions into hid
eous shapes of sending. He got it out at last,
that ho thought of marriage and wanted to knot*
t»ur opinion on the subject. “Well, of course. J*£it
have sought out and found out some honored
dame of dignity, who can bring grace to the White ,
House fUxi add to your domestic comfort ?” * Oh,!
no dame, but a sweet damsel.’ * Who, prajr : bf
damsel degree could or should an old President
win V lie told us; and we uttered our astonish
ment by asking, * Have you really won her V He
replied, ‘ Yen, and why should I not ?’ IV e an
iwnJ that he was too far advanced in life to be
imprudent in a love scrape. ‘ How imprudent?’
he asked. * Easily; you ttfe not only past the mid
dle *ge,’ (he was then fifty-four,) 1 bdt you are
President of the United States, and that is a dai
tling dignity, which may charm a beautiful dam
sel more than the man site marries.’ ‘Ptfdh !’ lid
cried, chuckling merrily, * why, my dear sir, I am
jur.t full in >uy prime!’ Ah, but has John
Y. Mason never told you about an old friend of
h>». on the south side of the James, rich and full
bf sens, catling his African waiter, Toney, into
council upon the tender topic of marrying a miss
in uer teens? Toney shook his head and said,
’ Massa. you think you can stand dat ? * To
ney, why not ? She is so sweet, so beautiful, that
•u« would make me rise from a bed of illness and
weakness to woo her for a bride; but lam yet
Strong, and 1 can now, as well as ever I could,
make her happy!’ ‘ Yes; but Massa.’ said Toney,
' juu is now in you? prime, dat’s true ; but when
she is in her prime, where den, massa, will your
prime be ?’ lie laughed heartily at Toney's phi
losophical observation, but afterward, in serious
ua«, said that he longed for the renewal of his do
medic life, and had been fairly caught by the
Same of Miss Gardiner.
We remonstrated that his life was renewed in
his children ; that he had daughters, full of grace,
fit to do the honors of the White House, and some
of them were the elders of his intended. What
it lamily dissent should make domestic jars, and
fcia latter cays h« troubled ! He had, he said, fil
•*T* oeen » A * tender to the pledges of his past
•** lor them st«.i t,» withhold him their
adnnden**?. or to uenv to him as parental authori

•a* me game waa up. and then said: 4 We see you
•** cent upon four iast love, with or without
and you nave ever been too lucky for us
•ow to doubt or dtsthist your fate. You are go
his 10 marry the damsel, arid we ate not foolish
•ough to make two enemies by opposing the pas
*>'» of the wooer and the won.” The marriage
tvremony took plack on the 26th of J une, 1844.
Tresident Tyler being then in his fifty fifth year,
and the bride. Mias Julia Gardiner, about twenty,
and whom we remember being much spoken of as
a beautiful girl, and a Washington belle of those
long gone days. She was a New York lady, of
good family, as the phrase is, and descended, we

to Gardinef'a Bay and Gardiner's Island, on add
in Long Island Bound. The marriage proved a
very happy one, and Mrs. Tyler, who has survived
her husband more than ten years, is not yet old.
Mr. Tyler some years after marriage, said to Mr.
Wise, wheirthe latter~ifoted that bis friend kept
“ ft dduble-seated, four-wheeled wicker carriage tor
small children “ Yes, you see how right I was;
it was no vain boast when I told you I was inifly
prime. I hare a house full good babies bud
ding around me, and if you will go dp with me to
Sherwood, I will show' you how bountifully and
rapidly I have been Messed. ; They are all so near
in age that they are alike stair steps, and the two
youngest are so much babies alik& that each re
quires the nurses coach, and we have one with two
seats! So that marriage turned out well, despite
the fact .that the gentleman was old enoiigh to be
the lady's grand father, and we are glad of it. for
Mr. Tyler had «e touch injustice done him as a
public man that he was entitled to compensation
in his priVaW life.
Edgar A. Poe and the Juleps.
John ft. Thompson succeeded Edgar A. Poe as
editor of the Southern literary Messenger. Fresh
from the University, well-to-do in the. goods of
this world, and justly proud of his position—for
the Messenger then was the oldest, and certainly
one of the be3t in the Union—Thomp
son lived en prince in a suite of apartments in Main
street. 1 One of them, furnished handsomely as a
reception fdtiib. contained a beaufet well slacked
with the choicest liquor3. Int<s this room came
one morning about eleven o'clock a handsome, very
intellectual looking man, who, bowing formally,
.asked if he bad the pleasure of addressing Mr.
John It. Thompson.
“ Yea,” said Mr. Thompson, xvho had already
rmm.
My name," said the strafiger, “ is Poe.”
It may be taken for granted that the youthful
editor, who was never lacking in courtesy..gave j
his predecessor just sucli a reception as the occa
sion and the man inquired. If Thompson felt'
honored by the visit, Poe was more than gratified
by the cordiality aud unfeigned respect manifested
by the youg poet, ’rite author of “The Raven” j
was now seated in an easy chair. Conversation J
flowed freely ami pleasantly. Poe of course taking
the lead, and an houf or two Slipped away seem
ingly in as many moments.
Poe rose to take leave. Thompson entreated .
him to remain. IS’ o, lie had an engagement. As ‘
he turned toward the door, Poe’s eye fell itpduthe |
beauftJt with its* glittering array of silver and cut;
glass, afrid ft change passed over his grave, hand* j
some face. In ati animated tone he said, “Ah’!
you have a nice little arrangement there,- Mr.
Thompson. Perhaps you can give me something
to drink.”
“ Indeed I can,” said Mr. Thompson. “ What
will you have ?
“ That depends upon frtiat you’ve got.” Thomp
son enumerated several kinds of wine, whisky, and
French brandy, commending the last as very su
perior.
Poe chose brandy. Selecting & tumbler of the
ordinary size, he lifted the decanter with steady
hand and began to pour—One finger, two fingers,
three fingers, four fingers, five 1
Thompson became alarmed; 11 Excuse my seem
ing incivility,” said he—•“ such it really is libt, I as
sure you—but, Mr. Poe, are you —are you flbt
taking a little—just a little —too much for your
own good ?”
No, sir, not at all” was the reply. “ I know
myself thoroughly well. Mr. Thompson, kfid cSU
guage myself to a hair. I have had some expe
rience in these matters, and I have discovered
about brandy, good French brandy, this remarka
ble peculiarity—that it is less injurious wlieij sou
fill the glass as nearly full as possible, and leave
foenn for as little water as possible.” And the
pouring w<mt steadily oh till the tumbler was full
to the very brim. “ Not* k drop—just a drop—of
water,*if you please.”
The dfop Os water—it was barely more than
that —was added, and theii. to Thompsons amaze
ment and horror, Poe drained bis glass to the bot
tom.
He lingered a while, end Thompson, fearing the
brandy might tell uppn his distinguished guest
! after he got into the street, suggested, as adroitly
and respectfully as he could, that a few mOmerits
repose on the sofa might be of service to him.
“Oh no!” Said Poe: “ you need have no fear, of
me. The brandy is iidthing. I've already bad
thirteen juleps ; and ncfw I think I’ll step across
the way and get my breakfast!
Extending his hand id faieweU, he bowed stiffly
and was gone. —Lippinoott s Magazine.
A writer ill the Londoii Graphic sayS :
«The quiet little village Os Martham* !
Norfolk was the scene a few days since of
a royal marriage. Maybel, the Queen of
the Gipseys, condescended to give her band
in holy wedlock to a young farmer therea-
bouts of substantial means and good fami
ly connections. This is the first instance I
have read of in which a Gipsey chief, wheth
er male or female, consented or dared to
marry a Sassenach. However, the friends
of the bride, as well as those of the bride
groom, were present, so I suppose there
was no loss of CaSte in the matter. I may
add, for the information of the ladies, that
according to the reporter who was present
« Queen Maybel, who is twenty-three years
* was dressed in rich mauve silk, with
fXuficent veil, and in ter tiWfte »mt
IXiewelu looked dignified »and queen-
Bet (deter officiated do bndeemwd.
Contentment
Women, be contented with what you have,
jlf you can’t wear silk, be happy in cali
|co ; one fits you just as well as the other,
though I do think there are more real happy
hearts under callico to-day’ than under silks
and velvets.
Women who must wear costly garments
I always have so much jpertainiiig to their
position to engage their attention.■wtibat
there is little time to enjoy woman’s b3st
j Bank and fashion, no doubt, bring a sort
of pleasant excitement, but they also bring
care and conventionalities; and I wouldn’t
be obliged to be a fashionable lady for all
the World. Obliged to wear just what some
body else said was the style ; never daring
, to add one inch to the length of my petti
coats, 01* cut them an inch shorter, for fear
of being called unfashionable. Obliged to
do what others do, and wear what others
; wear, and buy What others buy, simply
because one is rich and fashionable. No,
no ! I’d rather be ft servant than a mistress.
: If it must come to the choice of one or the
other. God defend me from riches ! for I
believe that added wealth brings added
woe ;at last it would be woe to persons
of my temperament. Perhaps you would
like to know what Ido like, having heard
so much of what Ido not like ; I . don’t
care a pin about it ? I’ll tell you however.
I like to sCe evgi'Y one—man woman and
child—eiijdy every blessing which is given
them; I like to see women contented and
smiling ; women who are wives, not show
figure# ; women who would sooner make
home pleasant than .shine in the ballrdom !
Girls !it is much better id Make sunshine
for one heart than for many. . I like to see
a Wdman who has a husband, love to make
that husband enjoy his home ; a mother
care fdt fthd devdte herself to her children ;
a ydtifig girl give up flirting ways and if she
has not a beau, set about finding orie who
is worthy. If she has one, let those be
longing to other girls akxpo emd make her
own believe he has found a prize.
There’s more misery caused by flirting
girls than any other thing. Perhaps i’ll
tellyou a story, sometime—a real, true story.
I know one, and—but pshaw, what’s the
use ? One might just as well be silent as to
attempt to convince woman that riches, and
fine clothes, and flirting were not the beSt
of all good things bestowed by a kind father.
Home love and domestic comfort are not
always spelled Willi golden letters.
Remarkable! Discovery—The Suil =
tnef&ed City dti the North River uear
St. Augustiii&
During the heavy gales vrhich prevailed
'last fall, the tide on one occasion was driv
en so low in the North river, that a remark
able discovery was made. About 7 miles
north of St. Augustine, on the west shore
of North river,* the remain of an ancient
city weft) disclosed; The parties who have
given us tbis information are ready to con
duct any who desire it to the spot. Several
wells walled in with cdctiiiitd, are now visi
ble, under water, but tlife foiiiiciatidhs of the
houses can only be felt with a pole. On
the occasion of the discovery, a gale had
prevailed for font bf fiVb days from the
north—driving the water out of the river,
to an extent never before known. Further
investigation have also brought toliglit a
! coquina quarry, on this same site ; and
what is the most remarkable, the quarry is
in the midst of a dense hammock—and
which any one can see now, by taking the
trouble to go there. rock is of a qual
ity equal to any on Anstasia Island, and the
I quarry has been extensively used, doubt
less for the purpose of building this city,
: or settlement, for one or the other it cer-
tainly WaS. 55lie question which naturally
arises is by whom was this settlement
made—by natives of this continent, or Eu
ropeans ?. All historiographers agree* that
Ponce de Leon, a companion of Columbus,
iii his second Voyage, first touched on this
New World, at a point three miles north W
St Augustine. This would have brought
him within four mi'es of this city, or settle
| merit, which ever it might have been. Sav
! they—one and all—" he found the native*
fierce ah<i xhipiftcablet” But at this period,
1 1512, all history is silent, and we hear noth
i ing more of Florida, or of America, until
1526* when Narvae* flriiited tm the western
*or Gulf coast: Who trill solve the myste
ry? Perhaps it may throw light on the
history of America* hitherto concealed.

A Successful Coiiittiulrum,
“John has never given you a ring ?'! said
Katie’s sister to her one day. John was
Katie’s Lover.
“Never," said Katie with a regretful
shake of the head.
"And he never will until you ask hin> for
it," pursued the sister.
“Then I setts I shall never get one.”
“Os course yod never will. John is too
rtupM to think ot such-things; and M you
could never pluck np the courage to ask for
it, it follows that you will never get it 1 ,
This set Katie to thinking, and to what
purpose we shall see.
That evening her lover called to see her.
He was very proud and very happy, for the
beautiful girl by his side had been for sever*
al weeks pledged to Marry With him as sobit
as the business could be properly done ;
and John was a gfand good fellow, too,
notwithstanding his obliviousness of certain
polite matters.
“John," said Katie, at length, looking
up with an innocent smile, “do you know
what a coniiiidrum is ?”
‘•Why—it’s ft kind of pUide a riddle,"
answered John.
‘•Do you think ydu could ask me one that
I couldn’t guess
“I don’t know. I never thought of such
things. Could you ask me one ?"
“I could try”
“Well try, Katie.”
“Then answer this: Why ifi the iettey 1)
like a gold ring
“I don’t know, Katie. Why is it t* -
“Because," replied the maiden, with a
very soft flush creeping up to her temples,
“We cannot be Wed without it.
In less than a week froM that date Kate
had her engagement ring.

Hog Cholera—A Quick Cure.
Editor Central Creoffji&tl i
' - Our county has suffered so nittch from
hog cholera that every one, I think, ought
to do all he can to prevent its ravages.—
With this view of duty before me, 1 haste
to give the following :
A few weeks ago my son William brought
into our yard a shoat, evidently very sick,
hardly able to move, skin red and very hot.*
He saturated its back and sides thorough
ly With an embrocation made of spirits at
ttirjjentine, kersoiie, and Drake’s magic lin
iment, equal parts—and pouifed down its
throat a small quantity (perhaps 15grains,)
of chlorate of potash dissolved in waiter.—
In two ildttrs ail sighs of sickness Were gdhe.
A few days ago, another shoat was at
tacked similarly. This time William satu
rated its skin—specially the whole spinal
tract—with the embrocation, but did not
use the chlorate of potash. In an hour the
aniihal seemed entirely relieved, and it haS
shown no symptom of sickness since.

“ Drawing what—water ?”

The Cleveland Leader says that a gentle
man in that city who prides himself on his
personal appearance, lately sought to re
move a grease spot on his ccffit-tail by the
free use of benrihe, and then stood dose
to the stove that the odor might evaporate
ztidfb quickly- He was quite correct in his
theory, but unfortunate in practice, for be
was soon turning c&riwheels through the
window, flfad there was hot enough coat-tail
left to niakh k “westit*-for a doll-baby.
