AN INTERESTING AFFAIR.

An affair occurred IN the First Munlcl-
paIily few days since, that created gate
an excitement in Certain select aud FASH
ionabe circle. 1t appears That young
man from the North, who, having been III

mouths ago with Ibis employers daughter;
blooming damsel oiSweat sixteen. Each
being of an age when thes&eart IS brllIu!
of love aud sentiment, SIX months had not
passed when they had mutually pledged
their hopes and affection. They had, with
admirable skill, managed TO blind the eyes
of the fair ones parents So et1ectually, mat
they had not even dreamed 1.-THE existence
of any feeling between them warmer than
that of common friendship. Not daring TO
avow the passion, which they confidently
expected would be trowned upon by The
father, they at first resolved 10 brave al!
danger and elope.
While making the necessary arrange

ling child, aud entertaining high respect
for The Young man, at once came TO the
huppy determination 10 disappOlnt the low.
ers; but in a way that they little expected.
He secretly made preparations for we'd
ding, and invited few intimate friends 10
be present on certain evening, at little
party he was about 10 give. Through
brides, he had obtained from female ser
want who attended upon his daughter all
the particulars of the intended clopemcut.
The evening of The day fixed al last came,
aud the maiden's heart lhrobbed with anX-
iety and fear, when she reflected upon the
step she was about TO take but love, as is
usually the case, proved stronger than her
sense OF duty.
The gay Lothaio had, as he thought,
fortunately fonnd a boat that was 10 leave
for Nolchez at nine O'clock in the evening
and had engaged passage for himself and
intended bride. lie engaged a carriage
and made all the arrangements necessary
TO leave The house at eIgh, o'clock. The
father through the means we have spoken
of, obtained all the Information lie required,
and the carriage driver, who was 10 wait
upon a corner near lie old genlleman's
house, had received his instructions from
him. The lovers reached the carriage,
and 10 a moment were whirling, as they
supposed, TO the boat bul what was their

and welcomed Them home. They were
ushered into the parlor, aud there found
a priest in attendance, aud in Few mo-

girl fell upon the neck Of her father, aud
wept tears Of joy. The old man, after lee
turing bis children upon their unduulul
