THE MARRIED SWEETHEART.
- A LUCKY ESCAPE.
The course of true love is said never to run smooth;
and the little impediments which usually disturb
course exist equally in the amours of the benedict and
loves of tii,4 bachelor. Discovery as to Lis circumstances,
position, Scr.l., on the part of the friends of his lady-love,
only ajtates the hatter with hopes and fears, gives an
impetus to his passion, and makes him hope against
hope. To the former, discovery is far more serious ;
ruin, irretrievable ruin, justly follows his hopes abroad,
and his comforts at home.

During the past week the neighbourhood of Everton
has beets the scene of a very singular occurrence, i❑
which a married Lothario was the principal actor, and
whose fate will, we trust, be a warning to others, and a
caution to the fair sex. The circumstances of the case
are as follow : Some time ago a young man, named John
Rowlands, commenced paying his addresses to a young
lady resident in Everton. A close intimacy sprung up,
and Rowlands was the recognised suitor for her hand.
Matters went on pleasantly up to a very recent period,
and the consummation of the happiness of the lovers,
seemed not to be very distant. Fate, however, had de-
creed otherwise; the cup of bliss was to be dashed
from their lips, and under circumstances, too, anything
but consolatory to one of the parties at least. Women
are said to be naturally curious; and probably the
desire to said), this propensity induced a friend of the
laxly to institute some inquiries about the lover.
The result was the startling discovery that Mr. Row-
lands had already plighted his troth to another,
was, in fact, a married man; that his wife was
alive and well, but quite unconscious of the pranks
which her lord and master was playing. The
young lady instantly communicated the intelligence to
her parent:; and in the course of Monday afternoon,
whilst Rowlands was as usual paying his addresses
to Miss —, her father waited upon Mrs. Rowlands,
and was boon satisfied of the correctness of what
he had heard. The necessary explanation= followed,
and plans for the due punishment of the
married delinquent were suggested and discussed.
At the termination of the interview Mrs. Rowlands
received an invitatio❑ to visit Miss at a cer-
tain hour next evening, and arrived at the house
at the appointed time. Shortly after Mr. Rowlands
came to take his lady love her accustomed evening
walk. He was shown into the parlour, and in the
presence of an assemblage of the lady's friends,
was introduced to--his wife, and compelled to
acknowledge his marriage in the presence of the young
lady whom he bad attempted to deceive. This confession
of his guilt having been obtained, prompt measures were
takn for inflicting summary ♦engeance on the rascal
who had thus attempted to trifle with the feelings of
a respectable young lady. The females present imme-
diately surrounded him, and endeavoured to precipitate
him out of the window into the rain tuts beneath. For-
tunately for his life and limbs, they were unable to
accomplish this; but, in lieu thereof, he was treated to a
shower bath from a watering can, which had a most
destructive eft', es upon his well-arranged curls, effectually
cooling his back, if not his love. On making a precipi-
tate retreat from the house, amidst the laughter of the
inhabitants of the neighbourhood, the unfortunate Row-
lands was helped quickly down the steps by a ❑ot very
polite application of a gentleman's foot to his hillier
quarters. May all such rascals meet with a similar tate!
