MOST ROMANTIC AFFAIR /
TWO ELoprmrNrs AND A WEDDING.

About a year since, a young man came
to this city from Belchertown, in this State.
aud entered a dry goods store in Washington
street as a salesman. His steady habits. and
attention TO business won him the regard of
his employer, while bis respectful courtesy
and manly beauty secured the good favor of
the lady customers of the store. Amonp
the latter was a very beautiful young daugh-
ter oi one OF our most respectable citizens.
A sort of telegraphic intercourse was estab-
lished between the two, and il was not long
before It was followed by a regular introduce
ton aud intimacy. We should have said
that Mr.. B had inherited a small prop
erty from his deceased parents, and this may
have had some weight with the father and
mother of the young lady, by whom the
young man was soon regarded as their flu
ture son-in-law. So matters being arranged
all went merry as a marriage bell"-when
10 there appeared on the carpet a dasbing
New-York tailor, who proposed to the ia
Their OF the affianced girl, to remove to New
York, aud enter into business with him
on a grand scale in Chatham street. From
the moment of this proposal the prospects of
lung bhdiSCb-lht DdTtnlS OIL the
young lady looked cold upon him, and the
poor girl was soon informed that she must
dismiss her sutton. and accept the hand of
the dashing schneider. Her rcmonstrances
and tears were of no avail, and her family
prepared to leave for New-York. Her old
lover, however, found means to see her and
persuade her to elope with him-and one day
they rode out TO Dedham and there took
seats IN the accommodation railroad train
TO Providence. At Providence. however
the steamboat in which they had engaged
a passage to Newly rk was detained by fog
and the father Of the girl, who had somehow
got wind Of the affair, arrived al Providence.
and obtained possession ofhis fugitive dauob-
ter. The lover returned to town alone and
despalrlng-and the family of the girl re-
moved with her to New-York a few DAYS
afterwards. In that city she was soon for
ced into giving a reluctant consent 10 marry
ing the tailor. Every thing was arrayed
for celebrating the nuptiaIs in a most splen-
did manner aud strange to say, the girl ap-
peared nothing loath.i The ceremony |
was TO take place in st. Johns chapel. and
guests we're invited TO the WEDDING
party. On the very day appointed for the
MARRIAGE, however, the bride disappeared-l
There was much tracing and chasing" in
Of her as after the "lost bride of
Netherby" but with equally bad success
In the mean time the young lady, disguised
IN male attire, took passage on board the
steamboat Cleopatra, and, arriving safely in
without any adventure, was received
m the arms of a faithful female friend-a
married lady residing in Pleasant street.
Intelligence was soon conveyed to her lover.
md in company with him aud a fair COM
.'anion, the twice promised bride, made an
excursion to Bratileboro, VI, where the
luPtial knot was firmly tied. The parties
'etnrned to Boston on Tuesday evening,
ina we had the pleasure of shaking hands
