Thero was always much speculation during tho life of Alexandorll. Stephens why he never married, nor did this spec? ulation cease after bo bad gone to the grave, a celibate. Johnson & Browne's "Lifo of Alexander II. Stephens'" gives one version, and the News, upon the authority of the lady interested, gives another version, hut as io what is the best founded, or whether there-is SOmG foundation for both versions, the readet 'must draw his own conclusions. "The Lifo of Alexander II. Stephens," alluded to, says that when Mr. Stephens was a teacher at Madison, Morgan Coun? ty, (la., in the fall of 18*1*3, bo lost his heart It says: "One little episode not noted here, or even stated by hint until nearly forty years after this occurrence, wo may briefly advert to. One of the putiils at. this school was a young girl, lovely both in person and character, from whom the young teacher learned more than is to he found in I lie hooks, and whom he grew to love with a doptll of affection all tho greater that it, was condemned to hopelessness and silence. Tho poor student, with no pros poet of worldly advancement, tbo invalid, who looked forward to an early death, must not. thing of marrying?must not speak of love. And he never spoke of it to her nor to any until a generation had passed, and then to but. one friend." Tho other version of Mr. Stephens' early love is located in Savannah, which ho visited in (tie fall of 1834, and the authority or the story is Mrs. Caroline lleginia Maria Smith, a lineal descend? ant of Lord Richard Percival Bland. Mrs. Smith says that when Mr. Stephens was in Savannah he met herself, then tho wlfo of I 'd ward Thomas Courtenay, her unmarried sister. Belle, and their i'athor, and after tho mooting Mr. Stephens asked permission to pay his addresses to Mr. Bland's daughter. Air. Bland, on his return homo, related to his ?daughtor Belle what Mr. Stephens had uaid, and she pettishly said she would not recoivo Mr. Stephens for a suitor, whereupon Mr. Courtenay spoke up and said: "I think my wlfo is tbo younger looking and tho most handsome, and I would not bo surprised if Mr. Stephens fell in lovo with my wife, instead of you, Belle." Tho father of tho ladies, patting his married daughter on the shoulder in an affectionate way, said: *'I would not bo surprised if Courtenay is right; I shall sou Mr. Stephens and bring him around to tea this evening, then we will lind out." Later in tho nfternoop. Mr. Bland mot Mr. Stophons in tho oflleo of Mr. Mo Laws, and asked him to which of tho ladles he referred, and Mr. Stophons do scribed tho personal appearance of Mrs. Conrtonay, and remarked that she was tho only lady he had over mot and loved at first sight; to which confession Mr. Bland mado roply that the lady in ques? tion had been married. Mr. Stephens rejoined that he did not care if sho had been marriod; that he desired to ronow his request to pay his addresses to her, and thon Mr. Bland said; "My daugh? ter's husband is living, and you seo how vain your request is." A shado of pain passed ovor tho face of Mr. Steph? ens, and tho invitation to tea was de? clined.?Savannah (Oft.) News.

Kctuemheretl liyu Man "f I'rosulo Disposition. It is said groat men rot.il* rlvld recol? lections of tho scoitos and Incidents of tlieir childhood. Porhnps they do. If thoir writings aio founded upon verily, they do certainly. Thoy remember tho o>d abboy that filled them with dread and dismay; they remember the crumbling tombstones in the churchyard, with tho moss-covered epitaphs; they can soo to their latest day the prim rectory, or the ^avsonagu. And "perhaps there were years, por haps only days, between the life among these and the latoe lifo in tho Southdowns, where tho wind was always blowing, and great ships were always sailing in the great arm of the sea. They recall the bronzed old hulk of a sailor, with his strange sea-words, tho buats he used to whittle out of thorn with his.cutlaesor marllnspiko, and the mimic voyagos they took to China and Holland. They recall tho Squiro's little black-eyed niece?she i? still looking t out at them from the past. Well, let her look. It is probably i easy enough to be a great man when a person is in youth situated whore theso j interesting objects are found native; but | I could net, remember any crumbling ab? bey, without, making myself out a liar, I nor any explorations of the wind-swept downs. i can not recall any sailor; I do no', j "remember my fattier as a quiet, still man, not fond of children, 1 think;" and if a historian were to found himself 01 my memory, ho would have to writ's that there, were no rough bunting, shooting squires in my neighborhood. It was evidently planned by tho Fates that I should nover he a great man, for none of the things that great men re? member with such stunning effect were located in my vicinity. Probably I could novcr have hcen a fluent memorist anyhow. Probably Naturo intended mo for tho doposition, affidavit and witnosa-chair president of a largo corporation. I could not possible remember how "tho Count laid his hand upon his sword'" and how my father "gave him one swift look." These things probably happened, only I do not remenibor [ them. "When my mother came down dressod : for tho ball, there was a hectic Hush on j each check." No doubt of it, only 1 h??d i forgotten it entirely; and it has quite j slipped my memory that "the days I which follow ed our ret urn from London wore bleak and drear." All that 1 can remember, anyhow, are a few things that I recall by thinking ' back. Put these would not make a novel, and they would not comprise more than people knew at tho time. There was an occasion, quite tliscon : ncctcd from any oilier occasion bofora , or after, w hen 1 had boon sitting on the floor, trying to make friends with my : grandfather by petting his cur dog? i most appropriately named Curly. The cur ; i bit me through the cheek.and I thought 1 could not yell loudly enough to ox press ; my feelings, and my grandfather stated that "it served hint right." My old-maid : ' aunt, more than twenty-five years old, inquired of tho pleasant old man, if he ?? were not ashamed. He wasn't. 1 do not remember whether the wound ' ever got well or not. , Again 1 with difficulty climbed into a : buggy standing at our gate. The horse, (named Id ike), with true Irish treach? ery, made an excuse of the circum? stances to move off. He walked, ho trotted, bo trotted faster. 1 went sail? ing through t he village si reels, remark? ing, as I am credibly Informed: ?'1 don't want to go! 1 don't want to go!" Thus early I evinced a vein of truth fulness. 1 remember a bine cloak I once bad. It came to my knees, and must have boon fourteen Inches long. 1 lore thin cloak, and 1 he white cotton came out at the rent. "And 1 haa done an awful deed."
