Marriage by Surprise" in Italy-
The Florence correspondent of the
London Daily News tells the following +:
| met in society few days ago an
English lady, who had just been re-
leased flom prison, where she had un-
dergone two months of solitary con-
finemont for having contracted mar
riage with a Tuscan officer in the
manner termed matrimonio di sorpreSd,
which may be equivalent TO a Gretna
Green match in England. The parties
being much attached 10 each other,
although family obstacles prevented
their immediate marrying in torma,
they resolved 10 adopt the plan above
mentioned, which consists in the cou-
pie presenting themselves before the
curate of the parish. and stating TO him
in the presence of two witnesses that
they are man and wife. This forms a
valid marriage, according 10 the law
of the Church of Rome. The lady in
the present case being Roman Cath
olic, sent to the curat0 10 inform him
that she wished to confess, and request
ed him to name the hour that would
suit him TO hear her. Al the hour
named she repaired to the confessional,
and had fully engaged the priests at
tention, when her lover, attended by
two witness, suddenly presented him
SELF The lady arose and gave him
her hand, the fatal words were pro-
nounced. the witnesses attested, and
the curate became the unwilling in
strument of marriage by surprise"
But although the marriage contracted
in this manner is perfectly valid, it is
punishable in Tuscany as civil mis-
demeanor, so that the law condemns
what the church santions.
The officer was first confined in a
military fortress, deprived of his rank,
and dismissed his service, and then
sent to expiate his offence, in a civil
point of view, by two months solitary
confinement in the MuTatte cellular
prisons, and his wife had undergone a
similar term in another prison. An
other instance of this kind occurred
here recently, wherein the priest was
sent for as if to attend a dying person
but one of the witnesses getting alarm
ed before the curate arrived, went down
stairs and warned his reverence that a
share was prepared for him. The Gu
rate very Indignantly sent for couple
of gendarmes, and with them presented
himself to arrest the culpable parties.
The other witness got out of an upper
window and escaped over the tiles; but
the bridegroom, nothing daunted by the
priest and his posse comitatus, and
resolved not to miss his marriage for
want of witnesses, addressed the curate
in the usual formula: "This is my
wife," said he, "And this is my hus-
band,"s sponded the lady; "and these
two gentlemen" resumed the bride
groom, pointing to the two astonished
gendarmes, "are Witnesses" The deed
was done, and the marriage was valid.

Courting This is rather a delicate
subject, we know. But, then, we dare
say subject bearing this head will be
read by the ladies as quick as any thing
on which their eyes can rest. And it
is for their benefit that we are now
writing. There is something in the
idea of courting which causes an in
deseribable thrill. And we wish to re-
mind the. ladies that their peculiar privi-
lege to aid this business, growing out
of Leap Year, will soon be gone, and
many of them have not been able 10
screw their courage up to the desirable
point to commence operations. We
have just read the following account of
the way the ladies do up these things
in Rome, and which may offer them
some useful hints:

ANEcDoTE OF A SNOW BIRD.

We did not know, until the other day
that the little chick-a a-de-de, whose song We
have tried to Translate, was such an affec.
|tionate creature. There is little book,
published ia England, called "Early Days.
which tells story about pair Of these
birds; and since reading the story We have
loved this winter warbler more than ever,
AS we are sure our readers will do, when
they are acquainted with the story which
we intend to tell them. This little bird, il
seems, is known in Ireland BY the name Of
blue bonnet. Its food consists Of grain and
insects, especially the latter, in search Of
which it may be seen hopping from branch
to branch, in every position, sometimes
with its head downward.
On cold day, in the month Of March
ast-so says the book before mentioned
one Of these birds hoped into the house Of
a friend Of mine, near Belfast, and com
menced picking crumbs about the floor and
tables, when after remaining for several
hours, it took its leave. Next day it re-
turned, and aiighted on the top Of cage,
where it seemed 10 form an acquainta nee
with goldfnch. The cage door was o.
pened, and the blue bonnet let in, and re-.
mained all day picking seeds with the gold.
finch. At night the strange prisoner was
released; but as it showed no disposition to
leave the house, il was allowed to remain
in the. parlor. But the next morning,
while the servant was opening the window
shutter, the room being quite dark, she un
sciously set her foot on the poor bird, and
killed it. It was afterwards thrown out,
and it's untimely death soon forgotten.
But during the course Of the day, the at
tenton OF some one was drawn to an affect
ing scene outside, before the parlor win
dows. The mate Of the blue bonnet was
standing beside it, mourning its loss in
plaintive tones. It then stretched out ito
neck, and putting its beak below the head
Of its companion, raised it up, and then
sang as before. Afterward il attempted to
remove the body, but was unable. AT
length il flew away, and after sometime re-
turned, carrying grain of corn, which il
dropped before its dead partner. Then il
fluttered with its wings, making an effort 10
be joyful, and endcavored TO call the atten-
tion Of the dead bird to the corn. Finding
this useless also, it again flow away, and
returned with another grain, which it de-
posted in the same manner. Il then lift.
ed the grain, and dropped il upon it's mates
beak, continuing to do this for several min
utes. Then it resumed its plaintive notes
but the sight was too affecting, and per-
son was sent out to remove the dead bird.
"At that moment," said spectator, 81
would have given anything 10 my posses
sion to have seen the poor blue bonnet re-
stored to life.n
