SERVING A SUBPOENA: or LOVE VS. LAW
1t is singular what shifts love will
make 10 accomplish its objects. Bolts
gates and bars are OF little avail agains
Cupid's pickIock contrvances his Gun
ming will devise ways and means TO open
them all. A young gentleman had court
Ell fair lady Of this city, and 1t was sup
posed the two, in due time, would become
zone flesh" Some little quarrel OF trl
vial nature, as lovers quarrels generally
are, occurred. Neither would confess
the wrong to be on their slde-presents
and correspondence were mutually sent
back--and / he match was broken off, The
young gentleman Immediately started for
New Orleans, TO enter into commercial
business, thinking that distance would
lessen the attachment he really fell 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 heT
own nose" as the saying is, TO inflc, pain
and be revenged on the offending object
A gentleman that the young lady once re
jeced renewed his proposals, and was &C.
cepled within 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
meanc holy and low.spiriled. The first
letter he received from New York from a
friend of his, announced that his flame
was TO be shortly married TO another
His course was quickly taken--lhe next
morning saw him on board pacNet ship,
bound FOR Gotham.
The passage unfortunately was long, and
the poor fellow chaled and fretted so much,
that The passengers began to think him
deranged, or else fugitive escaping from
Justice The instant the vessel touched
the wharf he dar:ed for the office OF his
friend the lawyer. 1t is TO be supposed the
latter was much surprised 10 see his
friend, imagining him couple OF thou
sand miles away. After the usual saluta-
tons, he exclaimed
"My dear fellow you are just in time
TO see the wedding Miss, your old
sweetheart, is to be married this morning
at II o'clock.--To tell you the truth, II
don't believe there is much love about H.,
and that the girl really thinks more OF
ono hair of your head than OF the tortu-
nate bridegroom's whole body"

CAROLINE'S LOVE LETTER.

The following love letter rather takes
the rag off the BUSH lchabod MUST be a
bad fellow ifhe can longer restrain from
flying "swift as lightning TO kiss the tear
from the dimpIed cheek" Of his mad love.
My Dear Sweet Ic4abod-How | want

horror.stricken am at your long absence.
| want TO see you and feel your little heart

now do you come out, and lets get mar
RED, il you love me. God bless you, if
you are not sufficiently blcst in being SO
sweet. Oh, you marrygold, you holly

sweet Owl, do come and comfort your dy-
ing, sorrow smitten Caroline. Oh, you
trim tall fellow, full of mama and sweet
love, how | want to see you, you model OF
perfection You have been gone this two
months and 10 me, poor me! it does seem
like hundred years. Your dear pres
encc would be 10 me more than coolingI
spring to the parched traveller oil the de-

wanton duck; yes, more than a lump OF
sugar TO a spoiIt child! Why then Will
you not come! yes, fly quick as IIgh'nlngI
to kiss the tear from the dlmpIed cheek
of your mad love.
Oh, bleak and wild, is the house, the

"Good God! Where is she 10 be mar
ried-in church,"
mo. At her fathers house."
"NIy dear fellow, l-l-yes-no--yes,
| have.it. Have you any case coming on
IN either Of the courts at eleven o'clock?"
"Yes.' .
"Fhen fill me up a subpoena with the
brldegroom's name. Don't stop to ask
any questions. 1t matters not whether
he knows anything about the parties in the
suit. By heavens, Julia shall be mine!"
His friend saw his object a; once, and
promised to carry on the matter The
subpoena was made out and placed in the
hands Of clerk to serve upon the unsus-
pectirg bridegroom the instant he was
seen to leave his residence, and he was
despatched in a cab to watch the house.
Abut ten minutes before eleven, as the
soonto- be happy man was aboot entering
a coach before the door of his residence,
he was served with the subpoena.
Cant help it," said the clerk, in reply
to his gesticuating about ''not knowing
the parties" "going TO be married." etc.
"We shan't reach The Hall now before
.eleyen--the case is the first on the caen-
'der--won't keep you but ten minutes. If
you don't 60, heavy fine Imprisonment for
contempt, etc.
sThe bridegroom, who was rather of a
timld nature, finally consented, particu
Iarly as the clerk promised TO send a
friend OF his who sat in the cab, wrapped
up in large cloak. TO the house Of his
bride in expectation, explaining the rea-
sons Of his absence. The reader can ina
'gine who this person was.
Eleven o'clock came, but still no bride
groom. The guests were staring at each
oIher--the priest began to grow impatient
and the bride that was TO be, looked pale
and agitated, when carriage drove up,
the bell rang, and There he Isl" mutter-
ing many voices. A gentleman did indeed
enter, whose appearance created al most
Jas much astonishment as that Of EDGAR
.RAvENswooD in the hall of Ashton Castle,
at the marriage of Lucy ASHTON, IN
ScoTT's "Brde Of Lammermoor." The
lady iainted-privOte explanations ensu
ed between her parents uod the 'over-~
and the result was, that in ten minutes
after, the two real lovers were joined il
the sacred bonds of matrlmony, much tc
the satisfaction Of all
The bridegroom that was to have oeen
soon after made his appearance, putting
and blowing. What he said and what he
did, on beholding his rival. and being
made acquainted with the condition OF
affairs, was really tragl-comical.
The story ofthe subpoena shortly alter
leaked out, and has created so much
amusement, that the poor fellow declares
he will sue the lawyer for 500 dam
ages, IN subppnaing HIM as witness IN
a case OF which he knew nothing, and by
which he lost wife. 1t will be a novel
suit indeed, if he should do so.--Noah'o
Messenger.

MISSISSIPPI REPRESENTED IN GENERAL
TAYLoR's ARMY---As many Of our gallant
young men are on the point of going as
volunteers TO the frontier army, perhaps
it will interest them and the public, to
know that a native son of Mississippi al
ready represents her in that little band
left on the far border to uphold her coun-
try's rights.
They will find, when they join that
band of American hearts, true brother
Mississippian's welcome in the warm
grasp of EARL VANDoRN. Second Lieuten-
ant in the 7th Regiment OF Infantry. He
is the eldest son of the late we'll known
Judge p. A. Vandorn, of Claiborne coun-
ty. He was born at Port Gibson 10 this
State.--Flis mother was the niece OF Ra-
che Dona dson, wife of Andrew Jackson,
and was in her youth, of the Generals
family. His father, Judge Vandorn, was a
man with as warm, as noble, and as brave
a heart as ever throbbed; and Mississip-
plans may Judge whether, with the tutll-
age of such parentage, the young SOL
der, who halls from our State in the wild
frontier war, is likely TO prove an unwor.
thy representative OF her honor.
Lieut.. Vandorn is one Of the very few
native ..Mississippians who have taken
course at West Point and enter
cd the army. He graduated, we believe,
in 1842, and has since been continuously
on duty, and has won promotion and the
approval of his officers.
God send glory and success to the gal
ant young heart that SO often sends back
rervent wishes and remembrances to theI
and Of his birth = VckSburg Sentinel.

A Singular Case Of Love and Despera-
LONESOME time in February, the differ.
ent journals gave an account of an attempt
at Lafayette, la, by Mary Ann WEIGH, TO
a Mr., Levi Gray, formerly Of Albion, Or
leans County, N. Y, whom she charged
with being the father of her child.
She had previously made a similar at,
tempt upon his life al Ashta bua, Ohio,
and after his incarceration in prison at
Lafayette, she exhibited herself and child
about the streets, relating the story of her
wrongs with eloquence OF tears, and ex-
citing The sympathy OF the people. She
declared her determination TO go east,
leave her child with her friends, and use
the rest Of an ''iIl-spent life" in vengeance
upon her seducer.
The Dayton (Ohio) Transcript says
that she was in that city few days ago,
dressed in mems clothes, on her way to
the place where her seducer resides
She was armed TO The teeth and her deter
mined manner left no doubt upon his mind
that she was fully resolved to put her
threat into execution. She had left her
child at home and assumed this disguise in
order to be able more efiectually to &C
compish her purpose.
