A ease of disappointed love, conjugal
bliss blasted, Cherished hopes hovering dov.0
the wind of cruel Infidelity, came under our
observation on Friday last, wbiuh is likely 1
lead to some litigation, and development
rlch, rare and racy, if the matter ia not
amicably adjusted by some living concept
loos upon the.part of the standi ng off bride

the facts, they are nearly these: About

claim tn a long . Hue of ancestry throng'1
whose veins flowed the erliusu.1 current o'
stamped nobility; but they are from the
humbler class from the,cuttage lowly, from
tbe bone and sinew of the land, and their
love was the Inve ol giants. It waxed warm
aud grew in alrenxtb, until our Adonis could
no lunger forego the jewel within bis reach
be looged that she should be bis bis ooly
and accoidingly propounded. Tbe maiden'
whose beart was not of adamant, listened t0
the Qnlxot lo talcs of this modern Moor as
only trualing and euutldiug maidens can
listen, and

passing atraogu;
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wooderous pitiful;
She wished that tibe bad notheuril it; yet ebe
wished
That beavan bad made her such a man."
