THE STORY OF MANON LE SCAUT. Remarried After Forty ¥ears—Cupid As an Evangelist—Engaged Wed- ded and Widowed in One Short Hour. Little Romances. Gath thus tells the story of Nanon TLes- caut for the readers of the Cincinnati En- quirer: Far back in the eight century & priest of the Roman church, the Abbe Pro- vost, who wandered from his brethren in the monastic hife to consort with Cyprians, wrote a classical story, which is stiil baing printed, and which owes its longevity to its fidelity to huwan nature. He is supposed to have taken the story from an incident in his owa curcor, e took tho story of *Marguerite and Fuust! from su amourof nis own middle lite. The story of **Manon Lescaut” by this priest relates how a young man intended for the church was traveling from homo to his monasti ol when he saw a beautiful girl in the yard of an inn in care of her fam- 1ly servant, she was bound to another school Instantly, from @ wantom dispositiou, she began to ozle the young man and make sizns w him. His nature feil down in an instant, and he sought uer acquaintance, and within the bour these two, whose paths had thus ac- cidentally crossed, were traveling to- ward Paris in o carrisge, aud before they reached that city their folly was com- ploted. Abandoning is family, the young man takes up his abode with the girl, having mutually seduced eaoh other, and they como to the privations of such prople, “whereupon the woman discovers Lor innate want ot fidelity aad breaks the young man’s heart. She leaves bim, aud his parents find him; he returns to the study of divinity, and perseveres in that line until bis piety, tinged with the wound iu his heart, has mide him a most precocious neophyte, whose preaching is the wonder of the monks. He stands in the pulpit upon the eve of taking boly orders to preach his trial sermon; autracted to the church by the snnouncement of lis elo- quence, Manon Lescaut comes, As he looks down upon her while preaching the wound in his heart bleeds anew ; his sermon is dissi. pated. He leaves the sacred desk to upbraid the woman who has so deceived him and whom ke so tenderly loved. In her turn, affected by her first passion snd by pity, she leads him off afresb, and again they fall into privation, ard she again reoews her predatory schemes to make money out of old and rich men, snd ove of these who has in- fluence in the government Las Ler arrested for uttempting to rob him, and she is thrast into prison. There her behavior was not un- like that of Mrs. Hamilton, so called, at At lantic City but yesterday. = When her lover visits hier in person she throws herself inwo his arms aud sobs from the bottom of her beart: *'Oh, get me out of here! 1f you love me, do not leave me!” He hears the cry in his deepest emotions, and attempts to Kt her out of the prison, ana being inter- rupted by a guard ho draws bis ready sword, which the young men of the period wore at their sides, runs the guard through, and be falls dead. Erratic love and its fervor have wade a murderer of the Chevalier Grieux, His family, however, have influence enough 10 spare Liin a prosecution by paying money t the surviving family of thé slain person, but ihe girl Manon, who has caused all this suffering and expense by her wantonness, is condewned 10 bo sent o Louisians among the criminal ~prostitutes, there to be s0ld as & wife to any person whom her charms will attract and who will The youug man, sull sym- pathizing with his mistress and belioving her uot to be sinful at heart, follows tho tratn of prisouers from town to town, and lows her to Louistana, whero the n the governor, smitten with her atti wishes to possess her, and bids for her as for some quadroon slave. ' Terrifiod at the pros- pect of becoming the wife of such a brute, the poor girl flies to the swamps and dies in the arms of her first_lover, who continues faithful to thelast. He, with a broken heart, turns from the corpse, to fall into the arms of his friends—for friendship sometimes accom- panies men who do_theso reckless thinis. The friend has followed from Franco to Louisiana to redeem his companion from en- vironment, and finds that the denouement of the intrigue has_bocome complete by tho fomale's death. He leads his wrotched fricad back to the city and the ship, and takes him 10 France to_resume his place as a clerical and friend of sinners. Such is tue story of Manou belief thay there are women who fall from virtue without criminal intention, continuing to the present time, has kept this little story alive, 50 that it has bocome a subject of opera and painting, while all the other writ- ivgs, hundreds in number, of tho Abbe Prevost have fallen into inoctious desuetude, as an crring president once phrased it. Lescaut—the John Keel, who lives on the edge of Ten- nessee, not far from Lowsvile. courted pretty Luey Walker, a neighbor's daugh! and married ner 10 1846, The couple lived togetner for thirty years and raised a family of four children. ~All the children married and moved away. The old couplo became lonely, and they got a young lady named Jane Flunter to come and live with them. Miss Hunter was about twenty, bright and awvractive, It was soon evident that Mr. Walker was much attuched to young Miss Huoter. His wife grew joalous and acousod iim of falling in love with the girl. He frankly admitted it and suid that he would marry’ her il he aid not bave a wifs al Mrs, Walker left her husband and soon ufterward obtained a divorce, ‘The old man and the young womaa were then mar- ried and came over the line into Kentucky to live. Thoy bought a farm about three miles from here nnd lived together appar- ently happy for twolve years. At the end of that tune they disagreed aud separated, the second Mrs. KCeel, like the first, obtaining a divorco. The oid man went back to Tennos. 800 where the wife of his youth had ro- wained faithful and alone. His heart turned again toward her when they met, snd he proposed that they bo remarried. She agreed. The other day the wedding o curred, and they have returncd to the far upon which they began Jife when they were first married, forty years ago. The death-bed marriage of Joun Lawton, past vational supreme ranger of the Kor- estors, has invested the closing scene of his life with a touch of romance, says & Provi- dence, R. L, dispatch, Lawton was a man of cousmderable meyns and haa & big and generous heart. Touched with the devotion of Clara Louise Elinora Fogg, his house- keoper, he offored her his hand and heart as iie lay dying, with but.an bour of life to Live, The person to whom he offored to devote the romainder of his existeAce (about sixty-nine minutes) did not ask for delay nor toy~ with the offer, She was no coy maiden, but a matron of thirty-five, who had ]v.nnml through a period of miserable matrimony years ago. She had nursed him with ten- der solicitude and with unselfish devotion, and had refused to be relieved of duties LrYIng enough to prostrate the most robust woman, He appeared to bo 80 desirous of being accurately informed as to his condition that he created an impression that if there had been any hope of recovery he would have reserved s hand for some other woman, to whom rymor says he wus eogaged in New York, But the medical men Were positave nothing ‘could save him. His bousekecper had gone into the bed chamber with a tray containing dei Lawton beckonod her to bus side. “I want you to do me & favor,” he sald. “I want you to marry me. I bave but s few Lours 1o live and I want to wake you some return for ail your ‘(uudnuu sud ‘attention. Will you bave met' Half an nour later the Rev. Mr. Plummer read the marriage service at the side of that deathbed and Mrs. Fogg became Mrs, Law- 100, lu less than another half uour she was , when Mr, Widow Lawton aud her husband was being prepared for the grav Mr. Lawton's estates, which eoes to the widow, is valued at $50,090, but his relatives will try to gevit on the ground that Mrs. Fogg, baving a husband livic was uot legally free to marry. A trial involving_circumstances of an ex- ceptionally romantie character will come be- foro tho Tribunal of Ragusa. About twenty years ago a peasant of tho neizhborhood of TRagusa, being no longer ablo to support his wife, emigrated to the United States, leaving s better hulf in chargo of tho viliage pricst, From the first luck smiled on him, and he was able to send the priest fifty florins a month for his wife.

Tho priest rested and will be tried, Dr. Peter Brumund, mayor of Idato Springs, died suddenly of héart trouble at the St James botel in Denver rocontly. Dr. Bramund came to Colovado fifteen years ago from Burlington, la., and located i Tdaho Spriugs. He was then far gono witi consumption, und his demise was expectod daily.

After the marriage cere mony Mr. aud Mrs. Davis returned to No. 240 Cerry street. There Mrs. Davis sug- gested that the marriage bo kept a secrot, as #he was afraid her mov ht object’ to Davis.

He redeemed the ring and replaced it on her fluger, at the sane time telling ber that it was & wicked thing for 4 young bride to do. She agreed with him, and prowised to reform, but the fact that Davis subsequently redeemed the same ring three tmes is evidence tending to suow that Mrs. Davis could jugelo with the truth.
