ROMANCE OF RIAL LIrF.-A young Anne
rican planter, named Da Costa, of immense
fortune, recently came over to this country in
search of wife, and after visiting some of the
most fashionable cities, and spending like
prince" without meeting the object Of his
search, he paid visit to Birmingham, and
was standing one day at the door of the Hen
and Chickens, when, as old wives would saw
(and circumstances in this proved the truth
of the saylng) the very person he came to
England to look for walked across New
street, nearly opposite where he stood.
Struck with her appearance he followed the
lady, and with much politeness, expressed
wish for better acquaintance, and de-
sire to see her home. The young lady, a
Miss Rimmer, Of Alcester, was at that time
on avisit to Mr.. Heely's, Bristol road, to
whose house the stranger accompanied her,
but his partner in the walk not much liking
such romantic visitor, referred him to her
parents. The traveller was not to be diver
ted from an object in search of which he had
travelled SO far, and the little town Of Aces-
Ter was shortly after well nigh frightened
from its propriety by Garage and four dri-
wing up at full speed to the house of Mr.. Rim
mer. After many wonderings among the in
habitants who it could be, it turned out that
1t was Mr.. Da Costa come to request of The
parents permission topay his addresses to their
daughter. Advice was asked of those with
whom they usually advised, and consent was
given and the stranger gave such evidence
OF the strength ofhis attachment that he was
notlong in finding his way to the, heart of
Miss Rimmer; and though many tales were
afioat of what the modern s1Blue Beardn
would do, he married her at Alcester Church
on Saturday week, three carriages and four
conveying the parties who graced the nuptial
