A Modarn Romance.
The Heroine of a Thrilling
Love Tale Rescued from the
Lunatic Asylum.
The Lady Adela Fitz-Albany
de Palisser at the age of
11 was weary of the hollow
mockery of fashionable life
and sated with its empty pag
eantry. She scorned to revel
in the wealth which others
had garnered and longed for
the independence of a self
earned crust.
In the dead of night she
stole noiselessly away from
her father's castle, and ere
morning broke, with the only
hundred pound note she had
about her, she purchased tho i
scanty attire and the stock in
trade of a homeless wonder
ing flover girl.
"For the? first time in my
weary life," she cried, "shall
I taste the sweet fruits of la
bor." But the Lady Adela forgot
two things. The blood that
flowed in her veins was of the
deepest azure and nature had
indelibly imprinted upon her

of the vessel was received on
April 12, when the Inman line
steamer, City of Chester, ar
rived at Queenstown nnd re
ported that on April 8, in
latitude 4G north, longitude
37 west, she passed the Dan
ish steamer Danmark, from
Christiansand, Copennagen,
etc., for New York. The ves
sel had been abandoned by
her crew. Her stern was lev

stood high out of the water.
She was apparently sinking.
For twelve days no tidings
were received of the fate of
the 700 people, and day after

pointed. And now comes the
good news:
The certain news of the res
cue and safety of the passen
gers and crew of the lost
steamship Danmark, is the
most welcomed intelligence
the telegraph has conveyed
to the civilized world in many
a day.

just now, and her master,
officers and crew are the he
roes of the hour. The cap-

...
er than a victorious General,
his men than a conquoring
army. They have saved
nearly seven hundred human
lives, to do which they promp
tly threw overboard a valu
able cargo, worth hundreds
of thousands oi dollars. Had
it been hundreds of millions,
it would been all the same.
The Missouri is only a freight
ing vessel nnd there was no
room for the -people of the
Danmark until the cargo of
the Missouri was thrown in
to the sea. .
Thus do men who have
braved the dangers of the
deep, and go to sea m a ship,
teach the lesson to landsmen
of the value of human life,
and how insigficant is a ton
of gold compared to one hu
man life.
