Prosident and Mrs. Flayos Lookinig Back a Quartor Contury--A Romante Attachment--Constancy Rowarded A Smooth Course of True Love. 1rom the New York Ierild. It is remembered by many of the oldest inhabitants of Washington how the child of President Jack son's privato secretary and son-in law was born in the Whito House a half century ago, and how at a later period the venerable Father Mat thew, of old St. Patrick's parish, stood in one of the parlors of the mansion, and turning to the Presi dent as sponsor for the child, asked, "Andrew Jackson, do you renounce the devil and till his works ?" and how Old Hickory replied with much warmth, "I do, most onim)hatically." And from the dreadful days of the rebellion and the din of war, who does not recall the most ielanicholy event in the histdry of the mansion -the death within its walls of the "martyred President's baby boy ?" Or again during the administration of President Johnson, when he and invalid wife stood in the contro of the great East Room and blessod their grandchildren and the thous - and little guests who had been invited to prattle and danco on the velvoty carpets of the Executive Mansion ? That was, indeed, a happy event, and one that a privi. leged few will never forgot. As the years pass a daughter is given away there in marriage. The only daughter of President Grant stands beneath the wedding canopy in the same East Room, and the father sees his darling chil go from under its roof the wife of an English gen. tleman. THE SILvER WEDDING. And so it comes at last, as orderly as the march of time, that in the same East Room a President glad dens its walls with the jubileo of his marriage a quarter of a century ago. 11irth, baptism, childhood, marriage I The sei ies is to havo completion in this silver wedding ! It is nearly forty years since Ruthorford B. Hayes, a more lad, visiting the town of Chillicothe, Ohio, met his future wife, then a little girl eight or ten years of ago. It wis a boyish fancy on his part, but attractior is so characteristic of the Webb family that those who know her mother and were intimate with the family say that the ehamn which beguiled young Rutherford has clung to all her kindred. Dr. Webb died about 1843, leaving the widow with two boys and a girl to educate. Mrs. 'Webb r'emovedl foi' this purpose05 to Delaware, Ohio, at that time also, the r'esidence of Mir. Hayes, who was nowv a man gr'owni up, yet still clung with affectionateoI'egardl to the sweet face which met him in childhood's simplicity as he walked throug~h the streets of his native town. When Miss Webb began to bloom into womanhood she was sent to Cincinnati to complleto her education, and here, too, by a coins cidence, it happened that her future husband had1 peCviously entered into the pra'Ictice of law. AN AcQUAINTANCE nENEwED. Gen. R. B. Mitchell and Congress. man S. S. Cox both relate their re.. collections of the buoyant am?d modest young man who boarded- at the same residence, a large house kept b)y a Mrs. Folsomn, and how he was then sti'iving to build. up a business and gain m'ofossional fante. He had been in the city but a short time when it seemed to him equally to be his duty to look after a partner in life, and the one thought embolslened him to* call upon Miss Lucy Webb at the 'col lege. His card wvas handed to Miss Webb, who had forgotten that she ever knew such a person as R. B. Hayes, and she was still fur', ther convinced on seeing him, that there must be a mistake on his part in sending for her. As she came into the parlor, on the ground floor of the building, and saw Mr. Hayes, she protested that he had made a mistake ; that she did not know4 him, and it was not niecessary to. further explain why he had intruded him-s 'self.. A lawyer was not to be mit~ down with any such spoecial ploading, and recalling events of twelve years past, he convinced the young lady that if she did not remomber the visitor, at least ho had tho advant ago of a multitude of fat's to prove that he had known her from her very childhood. And so. the spell Whi c had led him captive so many years took them both back to the beginning, and she, recognizing his fidelity as the creation of her own charms, received his devotion and with it the affection which had nur tured it. AT THE BAR. In the moantime the lawyer per sistod in digesting the law and Mrs. Folsom's diot, hoping that he should one day got into a practice that would onable him to be the man and husband he aimed to be. He was now getting along toward thir ty, and with manly ago was more ambitious than over to acquire a reputation andi a competence. In tho ordor of ovents a man stolo a horso in Indiana, and brought him to Cincinnati and sold him. The culprit was a draynian, and his om, ployors said he should be defended. A cloric in the store was authorized to givo a young lawyor twenty-five dollars to act as counsel. R. B. Hl ayes was chosen as attorney and the case was tried before Judge R. B. Warden, at preset residing in Washington, and a member of its Board of Health. The accused was convicted, but that did not hinder Lawyer Hayes from urging his suit with the lithe and beautiful miden who was closing her school days at the college on Vine street. Anoth or event helped the aspirant for her hand to )'ess hi. suit with greater zeal than ever. A man named Siui mons had killed a man, and he was indicted for murder. The lawyers engaged were the most skilful in criminal practice at the Bar of Hamilton county, but it was neces sary that a third lawyer should be employed to assist the seniors in taking notes. This duty was as signed to Mr. R. B. Hayes, "attorn ey and counsellor at law," for which he was to receive one hundred dol lars. That and his other prospects were enough to warrant hin in be coming a married man: His pro. posal was accepted, and the 30th day of December, 1852, fixed as the time for the marriage. The Judges who sat on the bench of the Supe rior Court, before which Simmons was tried, wore Allen B. Thurman, Senator from Ohio, and Donn Piatt. During the trial some important question arose about the correct ness of one of Judge Thurman's rulings, and the voluminous notes of Mr. Hayes being referred to, were found correctiand entirely satisfac tory to Judge Thurman. Toward the close of the case the. court was anxious to bring the arguments before the jury, and, as the counsel could not agree, the Court assumed to decide the order in which the ar guments should be presented It wvas here that Judge Piatt claims to have discovered Rutherford B. Hayes. Attracted by the correct ness of the notes taken by Mr. Hayes, and his modesty in addr'essing the Court, lie suggested to Judge Thur man that Mr. Hayes should open in a spooech of an hour in behalf of the accused. The case was finially given to tile jury and1 tile verdict being "guilty," the sen)ior counsel disgus. ted at their efforts, wvent off to celeM brate the ending of the case. Mr. Hayes, however, (lid not desert his client. He had noted some forty exceptions to the rulings of thle Cmurt and gave notice that he would ask for a new trial. Judge Thur. man ordered the exceptions noted and upon hearing the argument of Mr., Hayes granted the appeal to the S ;ate Supreme Court. A SUCCESSFUL SUIT. In the meanitime prepar'ations for thmo great evenit were progressing. Mrs. Webb was making arrange ments for' her daughter's marriage, which was a (quiet affaiir, only a few relatives and friends being present. Mr's. Hayes wore tile fashionable bride's driess of that day-white satin-and its ample folds have been found abundant to admit of its be-. ing refitted, and she wore it anew on Monday evening last. A.t the conclusion of tbe marriage core mony, which took place on the 81s6 of December, 1852, the couple re . eoived the congratulations of Jheir friends, and the Sup?emo Court being in session at Columbus, Mr, Hayes decided to snak WS bridal tour to that city, as. be present theo following . argue the Slimons its6'befret.
