The day wore on and as night set in, car
riases filled with goodly company rolled up
TO the house of the parents of the bride and
having set them down rolled away to leave
room Tor freshcr throngs. Among those
who had assembled to grace the party, the
person oil the young clerk appeared with n
face upon which dark melancholy ex-
preston was deeply impressed. An hour
relied on during which the invited guests
had all met and whispers Of impatience
were beginning To be heard, when MUIR
mur ran through the room, succeeded by "a
deep siIsnce-n pair Of folding doors were
thrown open aud the bridal party entered.-
As the bride entered sho raised her eyes
which had been timidly cast down and
glanced about the room. 4 deep scarlet
blush which spread over her face and neck
even 10 her temples told the young clerk MS
their eyes met that she recognized him,
then casting them iiyedly on the floor again,
she signed 10 her friends that she was ready.
A deep silence reigned ns the minister com
menced the ceremony, aud it was with n
palplaiIng heart aud mind bordering ou
distraction TINT the clerk witnessed its pro-
grcss until the words were uttered "Will
you take this man to be your welded hus-
band, and while every breath was held

head and with her eyes benming full upon
her true lover, answered with low hu,

the CONSERVATION aud dsmay that ensmed.
The young clerk sprang forward aud sez-

chant looked he very image of despair, and
IN answer to the numberless questions
poured in by friends, relations and guests
the bride repeated her decision, rvowiua
her love for the young clerk AID declared
she never would marry any other. Al hi,
critical moment the scene was interrupted
by the uncerimonious intrusion of two mer
one of whom extending n paper, advanced
TO the soi-distnnt bridegroom, who betrny

ping him upon the shoulder, ,---nrrested hin
as a foreer and n fugitive from justice. A

AN ANCIENT AND rIsu-LIKE STORY.

WHETHER the events of the following
story happened in Massachusetts or Connec-
ticu', is nothing ut oil TO the purpose; it j,
enough that they are positive facts tina, is
the substance of them: for MS We got the
story nt second hand, we cannot voucb foi
1t n toto, but The main facts are SO aulben-
tic that, in the words Of Sanclo Panzn, tina,
mirror ofstory telling and squire eraniry, a
body may not only believe, but swear to the
truth Of them.
Ichabod Wing was the son of farmer
IN one Of the interior towns of New Eng
land. lie was a simple noddy, bit he knew
a hawk from n bandsaw, aud had wit e.
nough, sometimes, to go within doors vi hen

lie nigh, hnve got along well enough in the
world, and gone out Of 1t ut last without
knowing whether it stood still or turned
round but Inc determined TO become u par-
son.
Icbabod got through his studies aud was
licensed to preach. Il was terrible thing,
in his apprehension, to preach the first ser.
mon, MS he was not remarkable for The
strength of his nerves. lie bethoualt him
self Of the project of going into the fields,
holding forth to the cabbages, aud faucying
each head to he an auditor. Some say he
actually did it but this is rather dubious
However, it is certain the thing wns done,
if not by Ichabod Wing, at least by others
in his line; and, to judge by the logic
which many of these gentlemen hold To
their congregations, one would imagine they
thought themselves preaching 10 cabbage
heads still.
But let that pass. Ichabod, after pom
dering long while upon the matter, de-
termined to go to a distant town md make
his first essay in the pulpit. lie according

where the minister was absen, on a journey
for the benefit Of his henlth--s sort of rem

by The clergy. Ichabod quartered blmself
upon the latest looking farm he could es-
py, by which 1t appears that he wns not
such n fool ns to despise good living, aud
possessed one instinct for which men of his
cloth are famous.
But let that pass also. Sunday came !;
Ichnbod got rendy his sermon with great
ltrepidation, and conUed it over again aud
again TO make himself sure Of it.

terribly. The bell kept tolliug nnd tolling
till tie people thought it would never be
done. They yavned and stared about and
kept peeping out at the windovs--jusi as II
