Romantic. — Romances in real lifo arc not always to be met with, and the adage that "truth is strnnger than fiction" is/after all, not very frequently borne out by overy-day experience. One of these cases says the "Pleasant Creek News," did occur in the family of a wealthy squatter on the Wimmer.t a few months ago, a servant engaged to attend on the children having stepped into a title, and a property of £40,000, under the uaino of Lady Elizabeth Morton. It would appear thnt the lady, while acting as servant in the family, frequently assured those around her of her aristocratic connections, but no one credited her tale. She came out, it appears, to this country without an education at all adequate to her position, arid it is not improbable that but for the efforts of an able lawyer in Melbourne, Lady Elizabeth Morton would have remained in a dependent position to the day of her doath.
