Wit, genius, and grace have acquired for this ornl-
ment of the house of Kemble splendid position in
society, and the hereditary luck has deserted
escutcheon-pdr eremple.
There was a young lady of this city on visit to
Boston, last summer, where she became acquainted
with good Hooking young gentleman TO whom she
was introduced by Miss Ellen Tree. The acquaint-
ance ripened into intimacy, and renewed at the
Springs whittier the adyrepared; and where the gen.
tlemen, in the dramatic vacation, followed her. The
young lady, who is very young, very romantic and,
of course very susceptible and very open the soft
Impressions and pleasing thoughts by
intercourse with tolerably good-looking Strephon
of easy manners some assurance, and fluent tongue
well pracused in stage phraseoogy, 1--WE do not mean
the dialect Of the coachbox but of the scene and all
the glowing rapiuies and imprisoned defamation,
which an Alexander the Great uters to Sta,lra or
Romeo breaihes to his listening and love stricken Ju-
het. signing swain with such qualifications and in
such an nAammable place Saratoga, cannot fail to
make rapid Roadway in virgins heart, more par,-

When the trees begin to lose thsr verdan, honors
and the sands Of Saratoga are swept here and there

York and eur hero resumed his bsskin, now and
then alterna,ed by the sock-,he eotturnss how
ever, was his distinguishing emblem; and, when he
<onned it, he certainly acquitted himself credilably,
whatever captous and carping critics may think pro-
per to say Increment. What vows were breathed
and pledges passed, by and between the pair Of turtle
doves cannot be ascertaned but the usual process
OF eternal constancy and fidelity which charac,erzes
ali "love passages must have taken place. and
opportunities of future meetings have been con-
certed and agreed upsn. All that history and uadi-
ton have made US acquainted with is that the gentle
man one evening went to the Reverend Mr.. -,
an episcopal clergyman and besought him TO lend
his function 10 make two loving hearts happy, by
uniting them in the holy estate OF matrimony To
this the pious Leute objected without ,ae consent of
parents first had and obtained whereupon on tho
next day. the lady herself essayed her powers of per-
suassn upon the priest and succeeded in bending his
will to her wishes by the forcbe argument that there
were abundant OF his brethren who would lend Their
ministry for the purpose desired without asking e
eyant questons-that she was the best Judge Of her
own hsppiness-that that happiness was only com.
patible with calling her dear Mr.. - husband
and that the clergyman had better relent and 90 Sc

Of the cloth without any scrupuous hesitation
Moved by the youthful ladys earnestness and deter

two in one Of which so many pretty things are sai'

Now all this took place without consent of par

this was an anxious reflection and how the difficult
was TO be got over discussed, and the pros an'

acquainted with the peculiar temper and feelings o
her honored parents matters and things in general
and more particularly upon stolen marriages, and thei
