It is located in Tennesrec. An old gentleman named Tompkins, who lived at Lebanon, had @ pretty daughter, and de- clared she should marry Henry Hunt or sbe a — a rep in cash which paee uri out of sight of the impending Fe: 9. She had set hes heart on a ms with one Hamilton; but, like a dutiful daughter, snd jn view of the cash mentioned, she accepted Heh- ry, and the marri was consummated. In due timed Tempkins died, and having to the illy-matched pair the place where the money was, they dug it up and were rieh. Mr-. Hunt, however, was afraid that robbers might get the money, and so s! Laighdsed upon Hen- Ty to put it all inher trunk, where it might be safe. The usual result: The other day Mrs. Hunt took the trunk and went to Nashville. There she met her tirst best admirer, Hamilton, and the two went away together, and since then Henry bas not seen the wife or money, though he has searched for them diligently. A great deal has been said before to-day about woman's devotion under the most discouragin, circumstances.” Need wé make the moral of this touching story plainer ?
