Re-Uuion.
From the Albauy Journal.
About three yearn ago a good-looking,
stalwart yoong mechanic went from' .this
city to accept an advantageous offer in
the town of Salem, Washington county.
Being unmarried and rather fond of o-
ciety, it was not long Deiore James west,
as we sha.ll call, him, acquired a circle of
annuo in ton pa ihul amhrReerl at least all
the prettiest girls In1 the place. After
bestowing 'attentions indiscriminately,
i trllT7 at fa iminir mAnv hp.n.rrj! to beat with
jealous rage and envy, he suddenly be
came more reserved in his demeanor,
and from thenceforth, devoted himsett to
but one, a young lady whose personal
attractions were- only sarpassed by her
amiable character - and varied accom
plishments, named Kate , daughter
of a well-to-do farmer of. Washington
countv. .' West had - evidently heard the
admonition that " faint heart never won
fair lady; for be pressed his suit with
an ardor that soon received its reward,
and their engagement was announced.
Six months afterward, on a bright
sunny day in May, the nuptials were cel
ebrated. After i marriage hey ' settled
.fawn tn hnnsplrppnino' in a neat little
cottage, surrounded with all that a happy
young couple could, desire, ana every
thing seemed to augnr well for a long
anil Irauniiil lifn nf domestic bliss." "
But in an. evil hour their bright hopes
were ghauoweu. a tormer acquaintance
happening in the village was met by the
vniiao- huihanr). and while recallinE old
times a social drink was? proposed. . A
faint show of resistance on the part of
West, and the drinK was taicen, imiowea

to his brain all thought of the sweet

young wits at nome iauea n-uui mo iuiuu,
anil th rpat. nr the nii'ht was SDent in
hilarimiH ilohunoliprv. Poor Kate, hav
ing passed a lonely evening, retired to
rest, framing a thousand excuses tor ner
bnulmnil'a nlisenee. In the moriiinir she
awoke in an agony of terror at finding
herself still alone, and hastily uingingon
anma i,lntbpa nnpnpH the door to 0 in
search of him. Imagine her horror at
beholding the one she loved so well lying
across the step, besmeared with filth, in
Ihp worst fltnire of intoxication The
;,rl.t wan an luirrililn that for a tune she
wns unable to move or act. Then, as if
having formed a sudden resolution, she
hastily dragged hira in, dressed herself,
and left the house.

thnt his conduct of the night before had
driven her away. A week passed by,
and although'' the conscience-stricken
huslmnd made every search and inquiry,
no trace of the lost one could be found.
A year elapsed, and having given up all
hope of ever regaining his lost happi
ness, the husband threw up his situation,
sold his furnitureand came to this city,
where he secured employment as a ma
chinist. A few days ago, happening to
be in Troy on business, while passing up

his wife. The recognition was mutual;
and with the old love wellirtg up in their

Christian's years were far more suited to
a union with the mother. At all events,
the Queen overwhelmed the Prince with
marks of distinction, and greatly excited
her English subjects by conferring upon
him the title of "Royal Highness, and
further roused their indignation by plac

the highest officers of the English army,

Prince has no right to any footing what

Under this head the London Graphic
prints a sensible article, which in so
nianyjioinU is quite applicable to simi
lar phases of society in this country, that
we commend the following paragraphs
to the attention of our readers:
It seems touti that nothing could be
better calculated tp hinder marriage than
the present sys'.em of domestic economy,
etiquette and hospitalities. In the first
place the excessive luxury and display
in which upper and middle rank indulge,
forbids anything like easy intercourse
between young people. hat with the
wanton costliness of dress, entertain
ments, and other family items, very little
remains to be spent upon every-duy com
forts and every-day enjoyments. In a
large per centage of cases there is no
doubt that the balance is on the wrong
stoe.and that the people not only live up
to the utmost they can afford, but afford
themselves a trifle more than they can
pay for. Consequently, a certain stereo
typed scale of living is adhered to, at
what cost the victims of conventionalism
i .u. Akinpra nf fashion nnlv know:
