! 1t Will be seen that two of the daughters ara
married, and ii is one of these that has played
the truant TO her Lord on the present occasion,
but which ofthem does not appear to be known.
1t seems that she was married when very
young and in spite of violent opposition on
her part, to man old enough to be her grand
| father, though it was known that she had been,
from childhood, engaged to q cousin Of her

| several years of splendid misery in company
with her equity old grandsire of husband,
when meeting accidentally with the lover OF her
youth, she did not scruple to elope with him.
Her brother pursued the parties, who from the
| advertisement which we copy, must have led
him very pretty dance. The Herald says, if
she will consent to return, that the tumly have
engaged tc get her divorce, and let her marry
her lover. But, as Mrs. Glass says in her recipe
for dressing a salmon " first catch a salmon"
Her story will afford fine theme for the pen
of George Lippard, and other novelists of his
stamp. 1t is worth & thousand Quaker Cities.
As for the woman herself though we should
have pitied her had she remained true TO her
marriage vow, we cannot but think she richly
deserves the treadmill. But what can be said
Tor the miserable old fool who married her I'M
der the circumstances, or for the parents who
forced her into the match? Why, simply that
they ought to be hung with grapeyines all in
row, TO the first swinging limb that the execu-
TONER could fad. A common rope is toe good
for them, and ii would be waste of time to fix
up gallows. The wretches Who could ex-
pose their own child to such a fate as they
knew they must be preparing for her, deserve
not 10 die the death Of ordinary malefactors.-
Yet, we shall be told, it was but the custom of
their caste. We are aware of that, and that is
one reason why that caste comprises within it.

been peasants and had torn their daughter from
| the arms of a man she loved, and forced her in
TO those of some "Aud Robin Grey" whom she
detested, every body would have cried out
| against it. But as the lady was the daughter
OF Marquis, why the thing was all right-all
quite natural. Marriages Of convenience with
out regard to inclination, and elopements after
| marriage, are too common in English high life
to elicit any special comment.
The English Nobility want some such storm
| as the French revolution 10 purify the atmos-
phere in which they move. They are as dis
| solute, apparently, as the old French Noblesse.
The Pagets, and this lady is half Paget, haye
| quite distinguished reputation in this line
and seem to have enjoyed it for many years.
Even as long ago as 1909, Lord Byron, in Eng
lish Bards and Scotch Reviewers, after speak

The lady in question is described by the Her
aid as surprisingly beautiful.
