generally are, occurred Neither would con-
less the wrong to be on their side-presents
and correspondence were mutually sent back
and the match was broken off, The young
gentleman Immediately started for New Or
leans, 10 enter into commercial business, think
ing that distance would lessen the attachment
he really felt for the young lady.
When woman is injured, or thinks she is
injured, by The one she loves, she is more apt
than the male sex TO bite off her own nose, as
the saying Is, TO innict pain and be revenged on
the offending object. A gentleman that the
young lady once rejected renewed his propo-
sails, and was accepted within a week after her
old lover had embarked for the South. On
reaching New Orleans he found that distance,
instead of weakening his attachment, only made
The lady dearer, and he became melancholy and
low spirited. The first letter he received from
New York from friend of his, announced that
his old fame was to be shortly married TO ano-
ther. His course was quickly taken the next
morning saw him on packet ship bound for
Gotham.
The passage unfortunately was long, and the
poor fellow chaied and freted so much, that The
passengers began TO think him derahged, or else
fugitive escaping from justice. The instant
that the vessel touched the wharf he dar,ed for
the office of his friend the lawyer. 1t is 10 be
supposed that The latter was much surprised TO
see his friend, imagining him a couple Of lhous
and miles away. After the usual salulations
were over, he exclaimed:
"My dear fellow: you are just in time to
see the wedding. Miss - your sweetheart,
is 10 be married this morning at ii o'clock
To tell you the truth, believe there is not
much love about it, and that the girl really
thinks more of one hair Of your head than of
The fortunate bridegroom's whole body"
Where is she TO be married-in church :"
"No. Al her fathers house."
"My dear fellow, I--l--yes- --no---yes,
have it. Have you any case coming on in Ell
ther of the courts at eleven o'clock"
"Yes"
"Then fill me up subpoena with the BRIDE
groom's name. Don't stop 10 ask any ques-
tion. |, matters not whether he knows any
thing about The parties in the suit. By heav-
ems, Julia must be mine?"
His friend saw the object at once, and prom
ised 10 carry on the matter. The subpoena was
made out and placed in he hands of clerk to
serve upon the unsuspecting bridegroom the in
slant he was seen to leave his residence, and
he was despatched in a cab to watch the house.
| About ten minutes before eleven, as the soon
10 be happy man was about entering into a
coach before The door of his residence, he was
served with subpoena
| "Can'I heip il" said the clerk in reply TO
his gesrioulallng abou, {" not knowing the par
ties" going to be married" etc. We shan'
reach the Hall now before eeven-the case is
the first on the calendar-won't keep you bur
ten minutes! fyon don't go, heavy fine, inn
prisonment for contempt" etc.
| The bridegroom, who was rather of timd
nature, finally consented. particularly as the
clerk promised TO send friend of his who sal
in cab, wrapped up in large cloak, to The
house Of his bride in expectation, explaining
the reasons OF his absence. The reader may
suppose who this person was.
Eleven o'clock came, bu, still no bridegroom
Fhe guests were staring at each oiher-the
priest began to grow impatient and The bride
that waste be. looked pale and agilaled, when
carriage drove up, the bell rang, and here

A gentleman did indeed enter, whose appear
ance created almost as much asionishment as
that of Edgar of Ravenswood in the hall Of
Ashton Castle, a. the marriage of Lucy Ashton
in Scoll's Bride Of Lamermoor. The lady
fainled-ptiva,e explanations ensued between
her parents aud her lover-and the result was
thai in len minutes the two real lovers were
ioined in The bonds of niatrimony, much to the
satisfaction Of all.
