A "Heal Romance." - The Headvllle Republican contains a tort af Romance in real life, in which tbe facia are so singalarly related, that wa give ti lellowiag synopsis: On Friday last a yeoag lady of a boot twenty year of age, called en tbe Justice of the Peace of Venan go Boro, aod la a private interview related Ibe history of live year of her life.

Tha young man was about tfxteea year of age, aod during b! residence tbera the family went away oo a visit of three days, leaving the young man aad girl alone to "keep bouse." Tbe family returned, Ibe young Ban departed, and In due season tbe young girl look upoo bereelf Iba honors ol a mother, without tbe honors of a wife aod all on account ot keeplog bouse" with the young man Tbe youag woman wa an orphan, depend ent upoo herself lor support, and a friend adopting tbe baby, tbe young girl left the family aod went "Into tba world to earn bread." Far year the young lady aod her friends had been looking tor the youog mao bul Ins whereabouts could not ho ascertain ed.

For a lew weeks past sba ha been stop plog io Meadville, aod one day last week concluded to vlsll ber eld friends In Ve naogo Co. As she left the reception room lo tbe depot to enter tbe car, sba met the youog man, the father of tbe child, face to face. They bad not seem each other nor beard a word aooceroing tb life of Ibe otber for tve years, and after tba first sar prise and greeliog were over tbe youug mao drew ber aside and ibey narrated the etoty of their lives alnce their experience In bouse keeping."
