Nh. EDIros IL was somewhat surprised few
days SINCE on having card Tor rather nvitation) put
into nay hands, of whica the following is a copy
"Mr. E.W.D--, and Miss G. A, at home
Thursday evening frsm TO o'clock"
Surprised, say, because thought, as most of the
gosspiDg ladies of the village did, that the match was
broken of in consequence of the frequent visits of
young man whom rumor said was the more favored
suitor, and that the disappointed swain had LEFT the
village, to fsrget in solitude, the loss OF his chosen
one. But scarce year had elapsed, ere ne returned
and claimed the hand of the fair one, and is now
joined in holy wedlock. Of course accepted the
invitation and made enc Of the favored namber. All
the beauty wit and fashion of the village there.
The rooms were crowded and the heat oppressive
STILL all seemed to enjoy and Participate in the plea
sures Of the evening The bride, uncommonly pretty
and interesting On all occasions, seemed doubly SO
while receiving the kisses mot gentemens and con.
graulations of her numerous friends; and the con-
slant smile that played round her lips, seemed TO
whisper, go thou and do likewise" How do we
know but some skeptic or unbeever may leok tothat
evening, with grateful heart and feelings, the time
when all doubts and fears were removed, and all pre-
sentiments and forsbodings ceased and vanished, and
resolved that lei others do as they will, as for me,
will no longer remain (the fear of women,) an old
bachelor" Proud, indeed looked the bridegroom,
las well he mighty as he gazcd upon the lovely crea
tHre at his side while receiving wishes for their hap
piness and prosperity Among the number, we
ced the worthy president of the village, who seemed
all life and animation, chatting and laughing very ia
nliarly with the ladies, his fat sides shaking and his
whole frame convulsed with laughter. I do not
know but it seems TO me- Mr.. Editor that large men
are more free and familiar with the ladies than

bye we must apologize for the jam gave him but
such large men should not block up small passage
ways. Thelndies all looked exceedingly well-among
them the young ladies' of Miss BIS school shone
ing group of ladies collected together than those an
der the charge of the excellent principal of the school,
of whom be ii said, that she is in every way capable
of dschargng the ardusus dates that belong to the
station she fills The splendid brides cake imported
direct from your city, ample justice done TO- each
being anxious 10 procure plece-many, undoubtedly,
with the hope of finding the hidden treasure which 1t
was said TO contain.
There is altogether too much distinction in society
here. Some Of our ladies will hardly deign speak
to one like myself, who does not chance TO be pro-
fessiona character; consequently such occasions,
the company divided, which depnves all of more
less enjoyment. This should not be; and believe
il is practised more in large villages than c'es
saw a young gentleman Though very respectable,
yet did not happen to be professional man) ask
young lady 10 take his arm for the purpose Of prone
nadmg. She cast upon him scornful look, and an.
swered with the monosylable, No The young mans
feelings were much hurt, as indeed any sensitive
mans would be Again | saw one of the profession
al gentry make the same proposal, with whom she
skipped off in high glee.
Verify, verify, pride must have fall. Although
the hour set from to o'clock, many fingered
until 10 and later, but all things must have end
so the time passed and where few minutes before
all was bustle life and activity, now was compare
lively lonely and deserted. The next day the happy
couple left for the springs.
