Romantic Affair in Toronto. , VVRIT'I‘I‘IN FOR THE YORK HERALD BY E. P, R,. THIS is a funny world which we live in; and there are a great many simplctotls occupying the space which ,- was originally intended as the abode of wise men. There is also a large number of comical- mindcd persons in every community ever ready to perpetrate practical jokes at the expense of their unâ€". waryond credulous fellows. This fact was clearly and forcibly de- monstrated a few evenings. since by the \vell-laidplotâ€"ilot a gunpowder plot, but a love letter oneâ€"of two young gentlemen in this city, which has caused a good deal of merri- me'nt amongthc ‘cute’ ones. I soppreSs the rcal'namcs of the par ties concerned, in consideration-of the feelings of one gentleman, who was the victim of the sport.» Theodore and Timothy conspired to send a love-letter to Edward,_a friend (if-theirs. , This letter pur- ports to emanate from a loveâ€"sick- young maiden. who has fora long time been vetipfinxieus for an in. troduction. She knewof no. other means of getting introduced, and, as a last resort, determined to write to him. In the letter she confesses her undying attachment to him; and very fcclingly regrets his fre- quent absence from church of late , and also states that she is sorry to hear that there is a powerful at- traction ill the person ofa beautiful female, not twenty miles front Rich- mond Hill, who absorbs his Sabbath attentions. But silo has no doubt, that if he knew the person who is so greatly enamored of him, heI would have no objection to all in- terview ; and that if he felt inclined; to become acquainted With the’ writer, she would be happy to meet him on Peter Street, between King and Queen Streets, aboutSé o’clock Oil a certain evening; and, further- more, that she would display a white handkerchief in her right hand as a token of recognition.â€" For the present, she must withhold her name, merely giving the initials M. S, fearing that if he rejected her proposal, she might suffer ridicule. Edward received the precious epistile in due time; and, as may Well be imagined, was thrown into ruptures upon finding that he was the object of such soul stirring afâ€"‘ fection. He immediately soughtl out his companion and 'COIlfidantâ€"â€" a promising young gentleman con- nected with a book store in town, and revealed to him the cause ofhis unusqu happiness, requesting at the’ same time his friend’s assistance in making arrangements. and effec- tively carrying out the intended' meeting with the unknown Ed- ward’s friend was to be disguised at the scene of Operations on the‘ night appointed for the meeting, well provided with restorativcs ill case swooming fits should occur, as Edward hinted that the lady might not be able to bear the effect of his delightful presence at the first in- terview ; but the conspirators, (Theodore and Timothy) knew bet- ter than that, as they were sure to RICIIMOND' HI 1“ ‘Tv‘rWoi-‘a? 2. _ , ; AD LL,{FIIIDAY, JU .f fln_,,.., ., ., VOCAT “ Let Sound Reason weighfinbre'witlz__'visit/ran Popular Opinion.

He said he certainly would go and meet herâ€"that he would; for she must, he thought, he somethinglike an angel in hu- ,mutl formuls her letter was the very -‘ 1 l essence of sublimity 1'» But little did the gallant hero imagine that he was soon to descend. from the sub« lime to the ridiculous! For several" days previous to the appointed Thursday night, Edward was ob- served to Be uncommonly good- natured and unusually happy; which blissful frame of mind the initiated were delighted to behold, 'tlS they thereby knew that he fully believed the bogus love-letter to-be genuine! And the idea tickled them that ‘ cm long a change would come o’er the spirit of his dream,’ and that, like the opium smoker, when the stimulant had died, he' would fall into a corresponding dcspondency. - At length the appointed night and hour arrived, and Edward and his faithful squire were on hand.â€" Edward appeared as neat and trim as if he had just popped out of a band-box, with all ‘ his good clothes on.’ He was sllampeocd and per- fumed in the best style of the bar- ber’s art. He was even provided with a silver-mounch cane and a high-flavored cigar! Ilia confidant, being 111 disguise, was carefully stir- vcyiiig each side of the stt'cct, to spy out the fair one, while Edward was secreted in the corner of a fence, and, with the aid of a night- gluss, was trying to bring his optics to a proper focus through a knot- hole Oil every object that appeared on the street! He remained there for a considerable time, ready to bound over the, fence with the agi- lity of a Wild-cat the moment he saw the white liundkerciiicfor heard the whistle-signal of his look-out guard. They little thought during this time Of suspense, that the conspirators and their friends were also «on hand ol‘serving Ito‘w‘the game was being played, yard that ' l “ There was a chic] among them taken notes ” Al. last. the white handerchiefap- poured ill the distance, the possessor of which was moving along with a graceful, undulating motion. 1 Ed- ward lieardvthe‘whistle-pipe of his friend. He cleared the fence with the case Of an aerial spirit, and'ap- requested the fair lady’s name, which she was pleased to givc,and ut the same time quickly removed the veil, exposing to View her lovely countenance;â€"â€"â€"-wlien, lo! and behold! whle met his dilated pupils but the unmistakable features Of a full-blooded daughter of the African race, with a flat nose, which gave her face a very even appearance, and lipsâ€"«oh! what lips for ‘a nice young man ’ to press -â€"â€"-to give the diameter and circum- ference of which would occupy too much space! Edward’s feelings at the humiliating discovery may be better imagined than described.â€" The poor feltow’s breathing organs became greatly contracted, and he was so terrified that he seemed the picture of despair; but after a little he managed to cry out 'p-O-lâ€"i-c-e,â€"- a ghost~murder Iâ€"policel help, help, which fearful ejaculati‘Ons cre- ated quite a commotion in the neigh- borhood. Some parties were so much alarmed that they were afraid to approach the. place from whence the strange noise proceeded. Ills faithful attendant. howeVer. quickly rushed tO the rescue, and tested the virtue of the rcstoratives which he had procured for the lady’s com- fort, for size needed them not. A low, hearty 'chuckle was all she uttered, and it‘l‘illlediatcly vanishch When Edward came to his senses, and fully comprehended his awk- ward position, hc and his disguised companion concluded that tile sooner they made ‘ tracks ’ and escaped the observation and certain ridicule of those who were gathering around the spot, the better for themselves; but the Fates were against them.â€" When they were about putting to a practical test the. swiftncss of the means of locomotion with which kind Nature had provided them, a number of the mischief-makers instantly bore down upon them, which had the cffectof considerably increasing their , consternatiort. These new-comersjecringly request- ed that Edward alld his friend would be gallant enough to conduct their lady-love safely to her resid- ence! That was enoughâ€"rather too much for the love-seeking ad- venturers! Off they bounded at a rapid pace, and never halted till they had gained the prescincts of their own lodgings, Vowingvengeance on those by whom they been so unnicr- cifully “sold.” They were folIOWed for some distance by their taunting pro-awed “,6 Object of his INS” pursuers, who 'cnjoyed the chase thither with up agitated step and a am“!!!le It ‘5 sald by one Who palpitating heart, and accosted her, with the salututions knownyonly to levers! saw them thus exercising their mus- cle. that they ran with such extra- 'j‘he unknown most ordinary fleetilcss that it seemed as gracmusjy received him. expressing jf an owl spirit was at their heels! her supreme delight upon finding “my have 800d mason 10 be 93230“ that he did not repel her affections. The lady’s voice was Ofa swcct, mellow perplexity, (and what lady’s Voice is not, when she likes?) which had a charming effect upon Ed- ward’s excited nervesâ€"imparting a remarkably soothing power, which he, poor fellow, much needed at the time. This was certainly all era ill his life, never to be forgotten. Edâ€" ivard, like a gallant knight, offered his arm, which she politely accept- cd, and leaned so gently and c0n~ tidineg upon it, as to send a pecu- liar thrill ofjoy through his unsus- pecting heart! And they marched Off in delightful unisonâ€"kindred spiritslâ€"pl‘ofcssillg heart-felt love for each other. Edward’s happi- ness seemed ‘ consummated. The projectors of the joke, who were nicely cnsconsed behind the fence, and almost convulsed with laughter, knew that a rc-action would soon take place. The fair one, being closely veiled, still preserved her incognitio, and her confiding lover, though very anxious to get a peep at her face, Was too much of the gentleman to remove the veil. He attributed it to 'llbi‘jbashful modesty that her features Still remained con- cealed. Thus alOng the silent street they gently marched, apparently greatly enjoying each othcr’s com- pany, followed closely by tll‘e'book- clerk, who'seemcd to be extending his cars to their utmost capacity, in order to catch a stray word of the delightful cenversation Edward had several times strained his vi- sionary powers to discover the lovely features of his interesting companion; but all to no purpose;â€" be'neath the folds oflzcr thick veil all seemed utter darkness. After premenading the streets for a reason- able time, they thought it advisable to separate. When the customary Coeings, pressing Of hands, and 0xâ€" I l 1 I scientific ually cured of any future desire for clandestine meeting with anonymous damsels. It had been cleverly planned that an ugly negress should take the part of the pretender love-stricken maiden (for which,~of course. she was well remunerated) and right well did she not her .part. The affair has caused no little amuse- ment in the neighborhood; and it is said that the crest fallen Edward and his faithful comrade have, ill consequence serious intentions of emigrating to Carriboo. Toronto May 24, 1862. HUMAN LONGEVITY. IT seem certain that the average oflife is increasing, that whatever the conditions of sound hygiene have fair play men live longer than they did. Let any one who doubts the fact study the first column oftlle Times when the first frosts come and the old people begin to die off, and they will find the deaths of octogcn- arians by the score, and of men of ninety years by the dozen. In December 1858, for exampleâ€"and we only quote that particular year because we happen-t0 have a com- plete fileâ€"out of some 800 names 117 people of '70, '77 people of 80, and eight people of 90 were regis- tered in the Times. Those who are registered there are, as a rule, preâ€" sumably well-to-do, for the pgor cannot afford the Times" fee, and care nothing for an announcement which in many circles has become an etiquette. They were all we may fairly conclude, persons who had plenty to cat, who lived in good houses, who had sufficient intelli- gence for sanitary purposes, and who, when 5 “necessary, obtained advice. It is a fair preâ€" sumption,from a record so extensive, \ l v . ' . . . “hangmg 0f ‘OVB'IOken “ 913 sails-j that if the majority of Englishmen E AND L ADVERTISER.- ’ ' .l'..’ a 1"u TERMS or so In Advance. Whole No. 185. could be placed in equally favourable circumstances, the duration of Eng- lish life would be perceptiny lengthened, men would enjoy, for .example, fifty years of mature life instead of about thirty-five. It is probable that the old Iimit~three~ score years and lCll-eâ€"IS new in Eu- rope within the truth. Blumcnbach fixed eighty as the mean average ;' and Sir, II. Holland, whose experi- ence is a wide one, Obviously inclines .to the same figure. He can, how- ever, discover no principle ruling in the exceptional cases, or indeed tending to preserve longevity. All classes seem to have equal chances. Indian officers for example, who have passed thirty or forty years ill a bad “climate, seem to acquire there- by an increase vitality, and are notorious for the pertinacity With which they burden the pension-list. The Old theory was that a return to the ‘ state of nature’ would restore health; and that is the basis of most plans for regenerating the human race. .But savages are not long- livcd. The new theory seems to be that exemption from care is the great panaceaâ€"an Ideal so wide- spread that it has found expression in the popular phrase ‘ai‘lntlitants never die.’ But it is Opposed to facts. The Greek philosophers, who used their brains actively, were especially long lived, Augustus, whose career 18 a marvel Of sur- mounted difliculties died at seventyâ€" five. Kings have lived to be ninety. At the present moment, the oldest men among us are great lawyers and great statesmonsâ€"tlicn who have passed their lives in work and thought and debate, who have porcd ever papers till insurance offices lWOlllLl have complained Of the ‘sedentary habits,’ and who have, many of them, not lived very tem- perate lives. .There is some reason, indeed, to believe that either brain work increasesvitality, Or that the mental energy which, makes men lawyers and statesmen is closely allied, with the mysterious force which keeps men alive. Dumas makes Vadler, the Terrorist, who died happily at ninety, consciour of but one error in his past life‘ ‘that. he had distrusted Robespierre,’ say, ‘ the strength of my convictions has kept, me alive ;’ and, though Dumas probably invented the anecdote, still, it is the man of Strong char- acter who generally lives the long- est. "Habits have nothing IO'CIOJ with. the matter. Drunkards, parti- cularly the rich who drink wine, and the agricultural poor who drink beer, Often live long, the liquor developing a‘latent vitality. The Duke de Richelieu, the route, died over ninety years old. The negrocs of South Carolina, wretcludly fed and much worked, live as long as the white men ofliealtlieier clinics, and think that they live longer. Lord Mansfield thought he had proved by a vast range ofinquiry in his own Court, that all very old men had risen early; but, though early rismg is healthy, all Asiatics are up with the sun, and they are rather peculiarly short-lived. There is, in short, no guiding Clue whatever, except that, by the consent of all races, certain families seem to have a faculty of living on, and that longevity is therefore a transmissible quality. The utmost science can ascertain is, that it is possible, under certain hygienic conditions, to render mortal disease very improbable, and so enable large classes to live their full life, which will be, it would seem, about eighty years.~Spectator. MINOR EFFECTS IN IVIONEY SPEND- ING.--A correspondent of the .flmer- ' ican flgriculturist writes as follows on a subject of much interest. “ There is one thing I would be Iglad to see more parents understand, namely,tllat when they spend money judiciously to improve and adorn the house, and the ground around it, they are in effect paying their chil- dren a premium to stay at home, as much as possible to enjoy it; but that when they spend money un- necessarily in fine clothing and jewellry for their children, they are paying them a premium to spend their time away from ltomeâ€"â€"â€"tllat is, in those places where they can attract the tnost attention, and make the most display.” In a back township a magistrate, who kept a tavern, sold liquor to the people till they got drunk and fought in his housc. 1He then issued a warrant, apprehended them, and tried them on the spot, and besides fining them, made hem treat each other to make up the qutarrel. ’ V {was emigwwmmy’ posse-2' ' an or w ;~ {r wvsaxrewthm. 4 A Arranged; - VlsrliultslaThe fol- lowing is taken ftdrtl Dr.'Macfar- lane’s Lite and "‘Tttassi‘ei' D'r‘. ; megawatt» tilt-rotundalJ-tétxbw- ledwe of Scripture was illustrated once in way‘illilic surpt'ising'a‘nd fgrapllic'.

" It was“ my dream,” said Mrs. Lawson,i"“,-Mrs. ~ Shanks was here, in this very room, and I overheard all you and he had to say.” It was with difficulty she could get him persuaded to believe that ithad been so. On going dowel stairs, he inquired at the servant-irif Mr. Shanks had come during .tl‘t'u night. and in what room he was sleeping. The servant assured him that the chhurgll minister had really been ill the house, but added, “ He is not in the heuse, sir ; is, at chburgh‘erc' this time.” ROUT OF THE CURCULIO.
