of excellent address, repaired to fashion
able boarding house on Sixth street, not far
from Race, and secu red room. In few
days he became acquain nted with young,
beautiful and wealthy Miss, and soon be-
came attached to her and proposed marriage.
She asked permission to consider upon the
proposition few hours before an answer
could be given. In the evening the lady
gave her consent, and the evening for the
consumation Of the nuptials was fixed. The
day before the wedding was to take place,
the lady, unexpectedly to Mr. c., declined
marrying him, although the minister had
been sent for. Mr.. c went to the minis
ter and informed him Of what had occurred,
and told him his services would not be need
ed. The next day the lady retraced her re-
fusal, and again consented that the nup-
tials should go on. The arrangements
were perfected for the event-confectiona-
ries and refreshments were procured, quite
plenteously. The minister was again no.
titled, and the license procured, and num-
ber of ladies and getlemen were invited to
be present

who had gone to his room to dress himself,
and informed him that she wished aprivate
interview with him in her room. Mr.. G.
was soon in her presence, when she again
Uniformed him that she could not marry him
as he was a comparative stranger, and she
thought 1t improper to act SO rashly. II
vain did Mr.. c. entreat her to consent
urging the peculiar predicament her refusal
would place him in. She continued obsti
nately to refuse. The hour arrived, and tht
party had assembled in the large parlors
and the supper table prepared. The be
trothed couple were notified that all wa
ready, and the chagrined Mr.. c. appeared il
the parlor and informed the company AM
theminister what had again occurred;that
the wedding would not take place bu
desied that all present would partake o
what has been furnished; and enjoy them
selves in the best possible way. In th
course oftbe evening the young lady ap
