EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES

OF A HONEYMOON.

Less than two years ago, a gentleman who dwelt
at no great distance from Glasgow became acquainted
with a young lady of pleasing manners and no small
share of personal attractions, and in due course be-
came her happy husband. One half of the honey-.
moon had passed when they were invited to a party
at the house of a relative of the lady. At a compa-
ratively early period of the evening, the young hus-
band, sighing for his home, hinted to the young wife
that she had better prepare herself to depart. The
young wife wished to remain a little longer.
The gentleman not brooking contradiction, in-
sisted ; the lady, as little loving command,
became obstinate ; and the result was, the
lustre of the honeymoon was dimmed, and the
husband left for home in a he; suffering the equally
indignant wife to follow at her leisure. But the
morning dawned, and no young and blooming wife
gladdened the dwelling of the now anxious husband.
Hurrying to the house where he had so lately left
her, he was astonished and pained to find that she
was gone, and that no one knew what had become
of her. Days and weeks passed away; but every
inquiry that affectionate solicitude could devise
brought no tidings of the missing wife. Some
months after this, when hope was not quite dead, the
wifeless husband, in perusing the newspaper, had his
eye attracted by an advertisement, dated Perth. The
advertiser desired a situation as governess, and the
qualifications alleged, and the initials attached, being
those of his wife, left no doubt on the mind of the
husband that he had at last discovered his long-lost
treasure. Overjoyed, without losing any time he pro-
ceeded to Perth, accompanied by one or two friends.
Intimation was at once sent to the lady that a gentle-
man who wanted a governess for his family desired an
interview at a particular place. Every moment 1)e)
expected her who lay rearest to his heart to enter, and
proper arrangements were made to carry her off by
love o: force to her wedded home. At length a lady
did make her appearance, but, melancholy to relat-,
the lady was a stranger. Some sot tof excuses wert ,
of course, blundered out, and the disappointed party
trundled back to St. Mirrin. Time rolled on, weary
month after month was borne silently to the ocean
of the past, and still no intelligence of the wit„
who had so mysteriously stolen herself away. About
a fortnight since, the desolate husband was delighted
to be informed, on authority which he had no reason
to doubt, that his wife was now, and had been, living,
during the period of her voluntary widowhood, ill
Campsie. That very night he and a friend found
themselves sitting in a public.house in the village.
Intelligeece was sent to the fair runaway that she
was desired to be spoken with by a female friend.
She hastened to the house, where, unknown to her,
her husband anxiously expected her presence. On
entering the room, the first person she saw was—wc
need not say whom. With a cry of affection which
makes one wonder she kept herself concealed so long,
she rushed into the arms of her husband. Mutual
inquiries and explanations took place, and confidence
and happiness were restored to both. The happy
husband pleaded with his wife that she should at once
proceed home with him, and more loving and pliant
than on a former occasion, she hastily dressed herself,
and accompanied him. The second honeymoon is
not yet expired, and from everything we can learn,
promises to last much longer and beam more brightly
than is usually enjoyed by the votaries of Hymen.—

-TRANSPORTATION FROM GUERNSEY TO ENGLAND.
—ln reference to a paragraph on this subject, and which
from the peculiarity of the species of " transportation,"
has pretty well gone the round of the papers. The
Guernsey Star (after quoting the paragraph) has the
following remarks:—" The Jersey hews, in which the
paragraph first appeared, is so well known in the Chan-
nel Islands for its flights of imagination, that its state-
ments are seldom noticed by any of its local contempo-
raries, nor should we now depart from the rule !which
we have long followed in regard to that paper, d_iel we
not find one of its mis-representations reproduced. by tl,e
a native
to n,..-
of Charmouth, was sentenced to be 'transported ,-,

land.' Such a sentence is never passed by the Court of
this island. Bevis, who was convicted of many petty
robberies, was condemned to two months ' imprisonmenta
(the alternate weeks solitary and b
for ad nci
water),
to banishment from the islandthree years. In
this case, as in all others, the place of the convict's ba-
nishment is left to his own choice. He may go to Jer-
