A pprUab<l.(Maine) correspondent of a Bo?ton paper say* : I' " I find that fieople oijl lw?rc like' a lltflo for) and cart laugh over it a* lienr ty a* jit other place*. A love affair occurred here recently, which hum made a great deal of sports A youth liefeained^j^erftfetv in love whb one of the fair one* of thi* city, ifhh Aa?l Jbrit, jo*t "turned 4 sivoet sixteen.* \ Ilia passion w?s not reciprocated. Knt ihe young la dv gato him sotno encourn<rom< nt. ' 4 just for.the fun '>1 if.' The 4 fgtod pa rent*' were wroth, and sent llicwinning daughter a distance Irom tlie city. A correa|>oooeneG sprung up between the fovor MlitiMM young bloods, who. for sport, a?*nmed to write bilUt dottz in .the name of ^he lady beloved, biit on " lirelyiwithonl her knowledge. A plan for eh?petncnt and mariingo was ?lio conserpH-nee. liy the liolp of (lid young friends everything was arranged. The marriage was to take place in-the tobacco factory, ??d tlio happy pair weie to spend the that night in that fragrant locality. A youngster pn*H?ble in size and proportion to personate the young ladr.^lirac veiled, g<*t stealthily in the earilege, ns the triumphant. lover appeared at the appointed time and place. They drove to the tobacco factory, where iifands were wailing. The he:wtof tlio person who was to solemnize the marriage failed him, and the play was very near coming to an abrupt termination. A yoilth-of seventeen years, however, the son of a Maine | man who, in his youth, had been an adept in roguery, came to the re*e?e, performed the cereiiMmv * beautiful!v.' and made a touching praver for the -? < ? '' - -- i<n)i|)iiiwh ot trie loving pair. The bride retired nnd th? bridegroom had put off most of 1h? clothes, when the nrfivnl of the enraged father of ihe thtdo ?w announced, nceompnnicd bv several friends nnd armed to the teeth. The11>! idegrboni nnd hi> ft lend* were equnilv well nrmed. nnd the discharge* of .revolver* (loaded w idi powder) ware rapid nnd terrible. The latter npponr ed to get the worst of the fight, nnd the bridegroom was compelled to flv i It rough the streets at the <b*itJ hour of the night, with little than hia shirt upon his bark. A rrme absurd affair cotthl scarcely he imagined, nnd in all its details it was fo supremely ridiculous that one would not-auppose any jioraon could thus be imposed upon for a moment; yet, so well were tlic .parts played that the ' bridegroom 1 swallowed the H'hole.aiui actually consulted counsel the next dav as to how he should" get fmeeesnioti of his wife! When the truth wns -reveal ed to him, and he was convinced that it was truth, lie.immediately left for parts unknown, probably never to return." Tuts anecdote infold enough to be allowed repose, but yet it ought not to be. buried. Talking of * *l*eneeW mind," mid the Hew, Sydney Smith, "-the oddest instance happened to me once in forgetting ??* own name. I knocked at o door in London, nnd asked if Mrs. li. was at, home. ' Vw, sir. Pray, what name shall I say i' 1 looked in the mnn'a face nstotiished?what it inv UAtne ? I believe the man thought me uqul ; but it is literally true, nnd during die space of two or three minutes; I had no more Idea who 1 was than if I never existed. 1 did not know whether f ! 1 * " ' i was ft fiMtcnTcr or a layman ; I felt as Stern hold or IJoplcin*. At last, to ungual relief, jt flatted across me l(iM I was Sydney Smith. I heard, also, of a clergyman who went jogging along the road , umil he came to h turn-pike. What is to pay V * Pav, air! for what!' asked the turnpike man.? ' Why, my horse, to be sure.* *Your horse, air 1 what horse! Here is no horse, air 1' 'No horse!

I The goldtn rule contains the vety life ami soul of politeness. Children may 1>e taught to malce a graceful 6ourte*v or a gentlemanly how ; but unless they have likewise been tartght to abhor what is selfish, and always prefer another's cotnfort and pleasure to their' own, their politeness will he entirely artificial, and' used only when it Is their interest to use it.
