GRETNA GREEN.

The old original marrying-house is in the village of Spring-
field, nearly a mile from Gretna Green, an exceedingly small
public-house, kept at present by one John Sowerby, as notified
by a square sign, nailed against the side of. the house, over the
door. The house since the days of old David or-Daniel Laing,
the notorious blacksmith, has undergone no alteration,
.and the
same business as formerly is transacted Under its roof; but the
matrimonial branch is now confined almost altogether to the
pouter classes, although the officiating clergymen are various;
many is the epithalainium that in humble life still resounds
,within its walls. 'That the edifice, small as it is, is large. enough
for all reasonable purposes, is evident by the numerous scrib-
blers in prose and verse, who, in various ways have been
pleased, on the windows and on the walls, to bear testimony to
hours passed agreeably, and express otherwise their entire
satisfaction. Along theSe I was informed (for the room in
question, during my visit, was occupied by a.newly-married
pair) may be seen the handwriting of Lord E----. Gretna
Hall, a very respectable-looking country inn, is immediately
contiguous to .Gretna Green, which latter is, as many people
know, a small rural common, nine miles from Carlisle. At this
house, all the modern matrimonial affairs among the higher
classes have of late years been conducted; and hither all in-
quiring strangers are directed point blank; besides, a .painted
board points out the way to the Green to lovers and travellers,
along a wide straight drive leading to the door. The establish-
ment possesses considerable advantages over the old one—in-
deed the one is a comfortable country residence, whereas the
pther more resembles a pot-house, such as the " Jolly Sailor,"
or the "'Three Loggerheads," in a seaport town. The new
clergyman also, who may be said, phoenix-like, to have risen
from the ashes of the old one,---for whether or not the ancient
Daniel or David departed in a fit of spontaneous combustion, is
a point, I believe, hardly determined,—exists under terms of
comparison with his predecessor equally favourable. lie is not
Only clergyman, but landlord also—both persons in on.e ;
whence it arises, partly proceeding from his own moral qua-
lities, and partly owing to his office of landlord, which confines
him to the spot, that he possesses those qualifications that
every Gretna Green clergyman ought to have,—namely, be is
at all times to be found in a hurry : and, finally, when found,
sober, and able to perform his duty. In person he is a slight,
fair, good-looking man ; in age about forty, of prepossessing
manners, and ipild and respectful in his demeanour; ,without
bearing the mein of a dignitary of the church, he seems a per-
son qualified to encourage a timid bride, or allay the scruples
of any young lady, his customer, provided she chanced to
bring any so far along with her. On the present occasion he
was dressed in the style of a respectable layman or farmer,—
altogether in rural costume, namely, a clean, tidy, light-co-
loured fustian shooting-jacket and shooting etcetteras. In case
of emergencies a qualified deputy or sub-clergyman resides on
the spot, in the person of a slim, civil, harmless-looking lad, his
son,' who, were it not that youth, where the fair sex are con-
cerned, seldom detracts from personal merit, might be thought
too young: though .he states his age to be two and twenty, he
looks hardly out of his teens. At all events it is well to insure
against the possibility of disappointment, and prudent thus to
have, in case the old man should happen to he out of the way, a
young one at hand. No matter by. which of the clergymen the
everlasting knot be tied, whether by the young one or the old
one, regular entry of the marriage is inacte,in a:book kept for
the purpose: this entry after ;some months, is copied into the
register, which alone is submitted to the inspection of inquisi-
tive strangers. The house,.though comfortable, is on a mode-
rate Scale in point of size • the apartments scrupulously tidy,
rather to be called snug than spacious; the furniture is ieally
excellent. The site, as a country residence; is equally calcu-
lated for retirement and meditation, exultation or.repentance.
While the casual visitor is exhilarated by a refreshing airiness
and agreeable rural scenery, every ,possible accommodation is
afforded to lovers .that lovers can require; particularly the
little garden embellisled with its flowry banks, affords a retreat
worthy of Calypso, and he arbours, -literally impervious to the
eye of a robin, are such as wherein even the most fastidious
Rosamond coutd, 1 think, hardly, wills justice, if accempanied
by a suitable helpmate, complain of .her bower.—Sir George
Head's Tour.
