A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
BV LAirRIE TODl>.
Id New York, in 1796. my store was in Maiden
Lane, within three doors of the store of John
Mowatt, an extensive dealer in shoes. His Foreman
was John I'elsue, who sat behind the counter
stitching shoes and waiting on customers as they
Kteppcd in. One day a corpse was fiund in the
dock, at the foot of the sheet . The?Coroner
took Ihe jurymen from the neighliorhood, and
atuong them, John Mowatt and his Foreman. John
I'elsue. The corpse lay on a table in the centre
of the room. Some of the jurymen remarked that
as soon as John I'elsue looked on the corpse, he
started, turned pale, and looked as if going to
| f?int. He rallied, however; but his subsequent
movements occasioned some curious remarks. '
The jury having rendered a verdict of death by
^ drowning, were discharged. Mowatt turned round
to look for ftis Foreman. Behold he was not there.
We 8tep|R*d out of doors, and saw him high up
the street, 011 a half run, when he quickly turned
a corner. All sorts of inquiries were made, but
nothing could be heard of him. This, with his
turning pale at the first view of the corpse, occasioned
some strange surmises among the jurors
for tuauv days hence. John Mowatt was a bachelor
of thirty-five, and I'elsue had seen about thirty
. cummers.
On a certain day. al?ut one month thereafter, a
lad^ in deep mourning stepped mm .uhiv.iu s
store and asked for a pair of shoes. While John
was trying how the shoe fitted! the lady enquired,
" You, had a man in your store, John lVlsue by
name?what is Itecome of him F " Yes," says
Mowatt, "hut what has become of him I would
give a pood deal to learn." lie then related the
| story as above stated. "Strange!" replied the
ladv. "And you have not seen him since J" "No,"
replied Mowatt; "I have not seen him since."?
* \ es, you have seen him," replied the lady. " I
1 certainly," says Mowatt, " would not contradict a
^ lady of your appearance: but I have not seen him
to my ,k no fried ge." " Well, then," says she, " I
am John Pelsue: and that subject on whom we
held the jury, was the corpse ot my husband. My
, family name is Randall. I was born in Philadelphia.
I married (against the wishes of my parents)
John Conner; a sober, industrious man, by
trade a shoemaker. We lived happily for two
years. He took to drinking, neglected his busi- j
iiess, and once struck me, while in liquor. We j
had no family; so I resolved, while we were stitching
eho*? together, to learn his trade and leave
him. ,1 soon made a passable shoe, when I assumed,the
male attire, came to New York, and
you gave me work as journeyman. The rest you
Know?" John told tin? present narrator, some
days *4fter, that on hearing this, he was dumbfnvndrd.
"Well, madam,"says John, " what are your
plans for the future?" Savs she. "I have not
f>rme<l aiiy plan." " Well,* says John, " I liked
you as journeyman, ami when my foreman. I was
pleasedr?suppose now we go into partnership for
lifer Iu fouty-eight hours thereafter they were
married. She was a fine looking woman, and
mitrht Tiave passed for twculy-five.
Tliis, perhaps, is the first instance on record of j
a woman's sitting as Coroner's juryman on the
corpse'.of her husband. The above is a simple tale
of truth. I was witness to all the facts.

' TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At a regular meeting of Wateree Division, No.
9, held ou Thursday evening, 14th inst., the following
Preamble and Resolutions were otFt red by
Bro. J. B. Kershaw, W. P., and unanimously adopted,
the brethren all standing.
Though Death is incident to all, and of too frequent
recurrence to find man at any time entirely
unprepared for his advent in some loved quarter;
yet there are occasion* when blank and terrible
dismay must follow his announcement.
When the closed bud of infancy is plucked from
its stem to unfold its beauty and fragrance in celestial
air, the parent stalk may bleed for a time,
but the wound is soon healed with the gentle dew
distilled from Heaven. When the aged and withered
trunk has exhausted the fountains of productiveness,
the more genial clime of another and a
oetter worm, aione can revive us expansive oner-1
gies: And though the young scions which rejoiced 1
beneath its sheltering boughs may droop the while,
they are soon refreshed with the gentle showers
I and tenipered-winds of mercy. But when a noble.
flourishing, far-reaching, deep-rooted and produci
tive tree, around" whose strong branches many a
clustering vine and clinging tendril, entwined for '
life, for protection and support, is suddenly hurled j
from its deep foundation, snapping in a moment J
all the strong cords which bound it to a s; h 're of j'
incalculable usefulness, for many, many s-asons, |(
the withered, torn and blighted throng of depend- !
ants cannot be healed, though the same storm I
wnicu lore it away iroin meir ioihi enioraoe i ore ;
it straightway to the celestial garden to flourish
forever in perennial grandeur.
Such are our emotions under the afflicting bereavement
to which, in his impenetrable and mysterious
wisdom, it has pleased Almighty God to
subject us by the removal of our Dear Friend and
Brother, James Robert MrKain, from a position of
great usefulness, in this Division and in this com- '
muiiity, over which lie presided as its Municipal '
head.
Plunging from the hunting deck of the Orline
St. John, he lost his yfe in the vain effort to rescue .
from the waves, his aged' Mother, who perished J
with her devoted son on the olh instant, in the Alabama
River..*. ;

value.
Success in business attended his untiring indns- .
trv and energy .'"and enabled him to illustrate his j
life by an active but judicious benevolence ofs
which many can practically speak.
A firm and uncompromising discharge of all his
dutjee, public and private, rendered him a most {
valuable citizen and characterized his administration
of many offices of honor and usefulness to
which lie was called from time (u time by the People
of Camden.
He was an unobtrusively pious and consistent '
christian, and a inemlier ofthePrcsbyteriaii church,
of Camden.
lie was a most exemplary and devoted Son of
Temperance, one of the principal founders of this
Division, and its second presiding officer?a member
of the Grand Division, Deputy Grand Worthy j
1'atriari-h and Grand Treasurer, find wielded irrent i
pifluence in the counsels of that body.
Hut rcrently called upon to part from the Ix-lovfd
wife of his bosom, he leaves six young orphan
piiildrm. an aged Father, a Brother and Sisters to
lament hj,s joss.
With them it become.* us to mourn. Be it there- j

Resolred, That in respect to bis memory the
members of this Division will wear the usual badge
^ of mourning for thirty days.
RcsoIt'J, That we tender our respectful sympathies
to the family of the deceased and with them
deplores common calamity.
* Renolred, That a page of our R'-cord book be

be published in tlie Camden Journal and the So.

Council Chamber, March 9,1850.
At an extra meeting of the Town Council of
Camden, held this evening, present, Wardens,
Rosser, Dunlap, Kennedy and Sutherland, on motion
Warden Rosser took the Chair. The following
Preamble and Resolutions were offered by
Warden'Kcjiinedy, which were unanimously ado]>ted,
after which the Council immediately adjourned
:
PREAMBLE.
Convened in our accustomed place of meeting:,
the jTown Council of Camden have heard with
most profound regret, the calamity which has befallen
this community, in the removal, by a sudden
and appalling death, of the head ol this Corporation,
our able Intendant the Hon. Jamf.s R. McKain.
Closed for aver is that eye which beamed
intelligence. Cold that heart which beat with every
noble impulse that adorns our Nature. Ever
watchful of the interests confided to his keeping,
he presided with a dignity, and administered the
laws with an impartiality that commanded otir admiration.
Elevated to the position he occupied by
the confidence of his fellow citizens he took a warm
and active concern in whatever tended to promote
the welfare of the Town ofhis nativity.
As a Magistrate he was indeed a terror to evil
doers, and a praise to them that do well. Possessing
in a remarkable.degree the confidence and
esteem of the community we deplore his untnnely
death as a public loss?leaving a void which few
can fill. Recognising as we do the Hand of God
in this sad bereaveufent. who does all things after
the counsel of his own Will, we humbly bow with
submission to his Providential dealings while we
offer our sincere condolence to the afflicted family.
lie it therefore.
Resulted 1st. That the members of the Town
Council of Camden have heard u hh the most poig
naut regret ot the death of our lntenaaut me not:. i
Jas. R. McKnin. That we view his demise as a
public loss.
2nd. Resolved. That we will ever bear in grateful
recollection the urbanity and kindness which
characterized his official intercourse with this body.
3rd. Restored, That we offer our most sincere
condolence to the immediate family, and pray
that the blessing of Ileaven may rest upon his orphan
children.
4th. RtsoUfd, That a blank page on our Rook
of Record, with the name, age, time, place, and
cause of death, of our departed friend, be dedicated
to perpetuate his memory.
5th. RcsnUnl, That the members of Council
wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days.
6th. Resolved, That a copy of the above Preamble
and Resolutions be conveyed to the family?
and published in the Cauiden Journal.
From the Montreal Transcript, July 22, 1813.
We think it but due to f)r WiKtar that we should but
add our testimony to numerous oilier* n.i to the extraordinary
merits of hi* medicine in certain cures, particularly
where the patient lias complained of pin in the !?idef or in
cases of tin axthnialiral character.
We are personally actpiainied with many persons who
have experienced immense relief from the use of thin medicine,
when laboring under the disease* nbove mentioned :
and a* the changeable climate of Gunnda these di'eases
nre more than usually common, any medicine calculated
to counteract them must he of value.
We arc aware that it has a larg' nnd still increasing
sale, and lias been very generally and beneficially tt?cd
since its introduction into Canada three years ago, and the
very fact of its having' stood the test of three years' experience
is proof of its value.
We a.e not in the habit of rccoinm*nding ptent medicines
unless the benefits conferred by them come under
our own ijtservation; but in the present inslanbc wc can
recommend WlKTAll'S BALSAM of WILD G'HKRRV
as a medicine worthy of the confidence of the public in
diseases of the chest and side, and in many cases in this
city severe Coughs have yielded toils iufiuenrc.
