the predicament into which have been LED
by tickle fair one, by giving the following
facts a place in your Gazette.
Not many months since l paid my ad-
dresses to a young woman, living with and
under the guardianship of Mr.. J. Steinbach,
in the vicinity of Baby's Greek. l am tree
to say that believed the young woman vir-
,uous and consistent, thought she would
make good wife, and was happy in the re-
Aection that was not indifferent to her-as
she acknowledged herself willing to unite,
her destinies with mine, and actually agreed
toa day fixed on for our marriage. Alicense
was obtained agreeably to law; the day ar
riyed-we were to have been married by the
Rev. Mr. Hickox, who attended agreeably to
reouest-but no bride came! The young lady
had changed her mind--and without giving
me the least Inclination Of her intentions, she
had made herself scarce, having lett the
house of her guardian carly on the morning
Of the day fixed for our marriage.
AS some misrepresentation have been Sc,
afloat respecting the above TRANSACTION,
have been induced to detail the facts relating
to it. know not whether to attribute the
conduct of my intended to the persuasions
Of offcious persons, or to the suggestions Of
her own mind. Nor, indeed, do | know
whether had better rejoice at my escape
from the moose, or lament over the loss
