diiy, were playing about the yard, and we
had not been long under the roof of our
hospitable friend before he caught and
dragged up before US the largest and az
parcntly the Oldest OF the group. The Its
tie fellow came forward very reluctantly.
and as he was tightly held by The collar of
his only garment, bis struggles caused it to
cover rather less of his person than strict
proprie,y required. AS soon as the young-
ster was brought in, the father exclaimed:
Look here at this boy. Squire, and see
what's curious about him."
The first thing, of course, which struck
us was the curtaie stale OF his wardrobe,
but this evidently was not the point to which
our friend wished 10 direct our attention.
The next peculiarity which we noticed
was very complete and darkly defined
circle quite visible around the circumference
Of the little fellows face. This we pre-
sumed had been caused by hasty effort TO
wash him, the result ol which was that tho
dusty particles had been removed from the
central part aroun d the eyes and nose, and
had been snugly and symmeiricalIy arrang-
ed into the aforesaid circle. We no doubt
looked somewhat puzzled, and were about
to remark that we bought the little fellow
had very comical expression Of counien>
ance, when luckily we were cut short b.,
the fathers remarking-
"Ah, Squire, see YOU don't know any
Thing about furnoiogy. Why, it amt no
longer ago than last week that Squire p
came along here. and be hadn't MORN got

MARRIAGE OF THE BELLE OF BosroN.
Yesterday afternoon, Kings Chapel
was denseIy crowded by the fashionable
and wealthy families OF Boston, who
had assembled to witness the marriage
ol Frederic Scars, son Of the Hon. David
Sears, aud Miss Marian Shaw, daugh-
ter Of Hon. Robert G. Shaw. The
marriage ceremonies, being princil ally
OF the solemn and beautiful Episcopal
form, were performed in most impress
sive manner by the Rev. DR.. Peabo-
dy. As the bridal cortege entered
the Chapel, the organ, under the skllul
hands OF MIR. Frank Howard: pealed
forth lis massive tones, and the volunta-
ry was beautiful and most appropriate.
The anxiety to get glance at the fair
bride was So intense that it was with diff
fculty that the Police could clear pas
sage to the carriage from the Church.
The bride and her maids were most su-
perbly dressed. and made all elegant ap-
pearance. II we may be allowed the
liberty OF paying compliment we
would say that it was the most charm
ing bridal party that ever approached
the Hymenial altar in this city. May
all happiness attend the happy pair
