[From the Chicago Post.] There now resides in the city of Chicngo, a gentlemnn well known in business cir¬ cles, and whose pnpcr is good on change for a very respectable sum, whoso lut il was in ihe early portion of his career to reside ill the city of Now Orleans. This wna many yenrs ago—nway back in tho half deciide of 1»S0 to 1835. He had gono thither from tho North penniless, to cam a livelihood for himself nnd in pursuit I of that fortune which all yuung men hope to reocb, but whicii few ever attain.— Shortly nflcr his arrival in tho crescent cily ho fortunately Huccccded in securing a position in nn old, and wrll eslnblished mercantile houso, where, by his industry nnd uniform Irusttvorlhy conduct, he se¬ cured the confidence of his employers nnd rnpid pronioliun up through Ibc several departments of the houso lo tho counling- rooni. For \Ui purposes of this narrulivc we nro cnllcd upun to select a cognomen for tho gentlemnn before proceeding further. And since this sketch is published wiihout consultnlion with hini, wc feci obliged lo give hitn n nnme other thnn that by which iio is known in llic cotnmcrciul walks of life, nnd wilb the title of Mr. S our renders must be ."ntisfied. Mr. S hnd been scarcely Iwn yonrs engnged in discharging tho duties of his position in New Orleans, when be became enamored of a dnughtor of onc of the members of Ihe firm. Deeply engros.scd ns he wos in the uffairs of every dny busi¬ ness lifo, the trci d of all absorbing trade failed Jo cru.'jh out tho (.eiitici oenGiiii-ui» of his heart, nnd the jinpio of the dollars could not dn.wn the sweet music of inter¬ changing vows of constancy nnd of plight¬ ed fnilh. Ilis nfToction.s were reciprocated, lut though "Jjarkis wns willin" the pa¬ rents were not. Wiih all the prido of nristocrncy, nnd contempt of honest Inbor, which formerly ond dues etilh characterize thc wealthy of tho South, they sneered at ihe loves of the young oouplo, interposed objections, and forbade intercourse between tbciu. As a nnlurnl consequence, clandestine meetings were held and nn clopcmcDt pro¬ jected and consummated. Tho parlies returned lo Now Orleans ono day man and wife, but to receive no blessing or forgiveness from thc parents of the lady. Mr. S. was dismissed from tho service of tho firm, aud for more than a month strug¬ gled hard to maintain himself aud the wifo now dependent upon bia exertions.— His eflForta wero not crowned by tho most perfeot success, and bis lifo'was a contin¬ ual struggle for existence, poor and cheer¬ less at that. One sun was the result of tho iiinrriage, and wilh his wife and child, Mr. 8. struggled on, met on almost overy hand by the persecutions of tho father.— Unable longer torcconcilo himself to such a life, a separation wus mutually agreed upon, the lady relarned with hor child to her father's roof, and Mr. S. roturned to his home in tho Eastern States. Six months after his arrival ot tho North, Mr. S, received a New Orleans paper ooDtaiuing theaDDoaDoemcnt of the death of his wife sod infant ohild. At¬ tached to tbom as he was, though com¬ pelled by adverse oiroumstances to leave tbem, he mourned for thom sioocrely, and belioved them dead. A fow yeara after¬ wards he met with a ladr whose good qnalities of mind attracted him and whom he sabseaoently married, and with whom he lived happy for many years, railing a family of sons, two of whom ars today resideDti of the oity of Chicago. Io tho nalaril oonnie of events, Mr. S. removed lo the west mnny yenrs ago nnd bocarae ono of the seekers after fortune, upon whnt was then considered almost the frontier. Chicago was then but a small and comparatively unknown town, though tho tide of emigration was beginning to set rapidly in this direction. He was shrewd and spcoulntive, and his former experience had rendered him well quali¬ fied to turn to advantage ench opportuni¬ ties for tho nggrandizcmcnt of whntever ho possessed na camo in bis way. He prospered in business, nnd year after year accuniulntcd additions to tho gains of tho previous year. Chicago nnd tho great Northwest aprang from nn insignificant villago and a sparsely settled country to a grcnt city and prosperous cninraonwenlth. Hia own pc-cuuiary udvuocetncnt wa.s no less rupid, and from that timo until the present, his lifo was marked by no- more important eras than is tho common history of business men in this community, and might be written of hundreds of others. Sumc years ngo his second wife died, cs teemed by her friends and wept and loved by those to whom sho wns nearest and dearest. Wc will not say tbnt during all this Inpso of yonrs the mind of Mr. S. did not frequently revert lo tho scenes of his ear¬ lier doys, ond to the strange vicissitudes through which ho had passed. It would have been wonderful indeed if ho had not pondered upun thcin, or often thought of the joys and sorrows ottendnnt upon his residence in Ncw Orleans. Ho held no correspondence, however, wilh any ono resident there, .ind accepted fm liulh liiu newspaper announcement of thc death of his former wife nnd child. By it his en¬ tire life hnd been changed and turned from its originnl channel, be himself seek¬ ing ncw associations, ncw scenes, ond dif¬ ferent avenues of trade. Afler thc cupture of tbo cily of New Orleans by tho Union forces under Gen. Hutler, ond tlic opening of tho Mississippi by the surrender of Vicksburg, a desiro seized Mr. S. to revisit his uld home, and look onco more upon Ncw Orleans. Thirty yenrs hnd elapsed sinco his residence there nnd the occasion of his second visit. On the second day nfler hia arrival, ho dis¬ covered nniong tho Indies of tho St. Charles Hutcl, ono whom he recognized as his former wife. He inimcdiulolysought an interview wilh her but wus refused, she returning the application by tho no means consoling informulinn that sho bad no in- terest in ouinmon with him, ond no desiro to look upon or speak with hini. The succeeding dny she left tho hold nnd he lost all trace of her. Mr. S. was shortly nflcr taken severely ill, nnd having occa¬ sion lo call in a physician, judgo uf his surprise to learn from thc conversation whicii passed bolwocn thcin thot tho grey haired ni^cdicul utlcndunl hnd been thc adviser of tho fnmily of his former wifo, aud from him ho learned the residence of tho lady. Prompted by fcelincrs of curi. osity, oven if the old love had wholly died out in bis heart, he agaio sought nn inter¬ view, nnd wns al Inst successful. Tho slory of tho Indy was a strange one. After the departure nf Mr. S. for tho North, she rclurncd tq her father's home, and to the circles in society she had for¬ merly frequented. Her I'other hnd pur¬ posely inserted in thc papor thc announce¬ ment of tho death of herself and cbild, nnd forwarded it lo Mr. S. thnt ho might believe them forever lost to him. She passively waited thc lapse of time unlil a divorce was procured on the ground of abandonment, nnd a fow yonrs after cnlcr¬ ed upon her second marriage, in obedience to tho wishes of her parents. Thc son of Mr. S. and horsolf was then a colonel in the rebel army. She had no dosiro to renew interconrso with him, and closed tho interview as soon ns possible. Mr. 8. determined if be conld not have thc wife, ut least to have tho son. By patient labor his discharge was procured from the service of JefTorson Davis, and ho returned to thc North with his newly fonnd father. A codicil was not long ago appended to the will of Mr. S. by whioh the son receives an equal share in that gentleman's proportyupoii t^je^ccasion of his dealfi. Mr. S. is again in the city of Chicago, and again fills hia aocastomcd plaoe in business circles. Yet few would suspioion that in tho life of this man, familiar to hundreds, novel events had mipglod aqd cireumstanoes transpired, tho like whereof we seldom find lave in the pigeS'Of fiction or:r9manoe.

[From the Chicago Post.] There now resides in the city of Chicngo, a gentlemnn well known in business cir¬ cles, and whose pnpcr is good on change for a very respectable sum, whoso lut il was in ihe early portion of his career to reside ill the city of Now Orleans. This wna many yenrs ago—nway back in tho half deciide of 1»S0 to 1835. He had gono thither from tho North penniless, to cam a livelihood for himself nnd in pursuit I of that fortune which all yuung men hope to reocb, but whicii few ever attain.— Shortly nflcr his arrival in tho crescent cily ho fortunately Huccccded in securing a position in nn old, and wrll eslnblished mercantile houso, where, by his industry nnd uniform Irusttvorlhy conduct, he se¬ cured the confidence of his employers nnd rnpid pronioliun up through Ibc several departments of the houso lo tho counling- rooni. For \Ui purposes of this narrulivc we nro cnllcd upun to select a cognomen for tho gentlemnn before proceeding further. And since this sketch is published wiihout consultnlion with hini, wc feci obliged lo give hitn n nnme other thnn that by which iio is known in llic cotnmcrciul walks of life, nnd wilb the title of Mr. S our renders must be ."ntisfied. Mr. S hnd been scarcely Iwn yonrs engnged in discharging tho duties of his position in New Orleans, when be became enamored of a dnughtor of onc of the members of Ihe firm. Deeply engros.scd ns he wos in the uffairs of every dny busi¬ ness lifo, the trci d of all absorbing trade failed Jo cru.'jh out tho (.eiitici oenGiiii-ui» of his heart, nnd the jinpio of the dollars could not dn.wn the sweet music of inter¬ changing vows of constancy nnd of plight¬ ed fnilh. Ilis nfToction.s were reciprocated, lut though "Jjarkis wns willin" the pa¬ rents were not. Wiih all the prido of nristocrncy, nnd contempt of honest Inbor, which formerly ond dues etilh characterize thc wealthy of tho South, they sneered at ihe loves of the young oouplo, interposed objections, and forbade intercourse between tbciu. As a nnlurnl consequence, clandestine meetings were held and nn clopcmcDt pro¬ jected and consummated. Tho parlies returned lo Now Orleans ono day man and wife, but to receive no blessing or forgiveness from thc parents of the lady. Mr. S. was dismissed from tho service of tho firm, aud for more than a month strug¬ gled hard to maintain himself aud the wifo now dependent upon bia exertions.— His eflForta wero not crowned by tho most perfeot success, and bis lifo'was a contin¬ ual struggle for existence, poor and cheer¬ less at that. One sun was the result of tho iiinrriage, and wilh his wife and child, Mr. 8. struggled on, met on almost overy hand by the persecutions of tho father.— Unable longer torcconcilo himself to such a life, a separation wus mutually agreed upon, the lady relarned with hor child to her father's roof, and Mr. S. roturned to his home in tho Eastern States. Six months after his arrival ot tho North, Mr. S, received a New Orleans paper ooDtaiuing theaDDoaDoemcnt of the death of his wife sod infant ohild. At¬ tached to tbom as he was, though com¬ pelled by adverse oiroumstances to leave tbem, he mourned for thom sioocrely, and belioved them dead. A fow yeara after¬ wards he met with a ladr whose good qnalities of mind attracted him and whom he sabseaoently married, and with whom he lived happy for many years, railing a family of sons, two of whom ars today resideDti of the oity of Chicago. Io tho nalaril oonnie of events, Mr. S. removed lo the west mnny yenrs ago nnd bocarae ono of the seekers after fortune, upon whnt was then considered almost the frontier. Chicago was then but a small and comparatively unknown town, though tho tide of emigration was beginning to set rapidly in this direction. He was shrewd and spcoulntive, and his former experience had rendered him well quali¬ fied to turn to advantage ench opportuni¬ ties for tho nggrandizcmcnt of whntever ho possessed na camo in bis way. He prospered in business, nnd year after year accuniulntcd additions to tho gains of tho previous year. Chicago nnd tho great Northwest aprang from nn insignificant villago and a sparsely settled country to a grcnt city and prosperous cninraonwenlth. Hia own pc-cuuiary udvuocetncnt wa.s no less rupid, and from that timo until the present, his lifo was marked by no- more important eras than is tho common history of business men in this community, and might be written of hundreds of others. Sumc years ngo his second wife died, cs teemed by her friends and wept and loved by those to whom sho wns nearest and dearest. Wc will not say tbnt during all this Inpso of yonrs the mind of Mr. S. did not frequently revert lo tho scenes of his ear¬ lier doys, ond to the strange vicissitudes through which ho had passed. It would have been wonderful indeed if ho had not pondered upun thcin, or often thought of the joys and sorrows ottendnnt upon his residence in Ncw Orleans. Ho held no correspondence, however, wilh any ono resident there, .ind accepted fm liulh liiu newspaper announcement of thc death of his former wife nnd child. By it his en¬ tire life hnd been changed and turned from its originnl channel, be himself seek¬ ing ncw associations, ncw scenes, ond dif¬ ferent avenues of trade. Afler thc cupture of tbo cily of New Orleans by tho Union forces under Gen. Hutler, ond tlic opening of tho Mississippi by the surrender of Vicksburg, a desiro seized Mr. S. to revisit his uld home, and look onco more upon Ncw Orleans. Thirty yenrs hnd elapsed sinco his residence there nnd the occasion of his second visit. On the second day nfler hia arrival, ho dis¬ covered nniong tho Indies of tho St. Charles Hutcl, ono whom he recognized as his former wife. He inimcdiulolysought an interview wilh her but wus refused, she returning the application by tho no means consoling informulinn that sho bad no in- terest in ouinmon with him, ond no desiro to look upon or speak with hini. The succeeding dny she left tho hold nnd he lost all trace of her. Mr. S. was shortly nflcr taken severely ill, nnd having occa¬ sion lo call in a physician, judgo uf his surprise to learn from thc conversation whicii passed bolwocn thcin thot tho grey haired ni^cdicul utlcndunl hnd been thc adviser of tho fnmily of his former wifo, aud from him ho learned the residence of tho lady. Prompted by fcelincrs of curi. osity, oven if the old love had wholly died out in bis heart, he agaio sought nn inter¬ view, nnd wns al Inst successful. Tho slory of tho Indy was a strange one. After the departure nf Mr. S. for tho North, she rclurncd tq her father's home, and to the circles in society she had for¬ merly frequented. Her I'other hnd pur¬ posely inserted in thc papor thc announce¬ ment of tho death of herself and cbild, nnd forwarded it lo Mr. S. thnt ho might believe them forever lost to him. She passively waited thc lapse of time unlil a divorce was procured on the ground of abandonment, nnd a fow yonrs after cnlcr¬ ed upon her second marriage, in obedience to tho wishes of her parents. Thc son of Mr. S. and horsolf was then a colonel in the rebel army. She had no dosiro to renew interconrso with him, and closed tho interview as soon ns possible. Mr. 8. determined if be conld not have thc wife, ut least to have tho son. By patient labor his discharge was procured from the service of JefTorson Davis, and ho returned to thc North with his newly fonnd father. A codicil was not long ago appended to the will of Mr. S. by whioh the son receives an equal share in that gentleman's proportyupoii t^je^ccasion of his dealfi. Mr. S. is again in the city of Chicago, and again fills hia aocastomcd plaoe in business circles. Yet few would suspioion that in tho life of this man, familiar to hundreds, novel events had mipglod aqd cireumstanoes transpired, tho like whereof we seldom find lave in the pigeS'Of fiction or:r9manoe.
