Romantic Wedding.

Romantic Wedding.
A marriage took place in this city last
week underthe following romantic circum-
stances: A young clergyman of the Epis-
copal Church, resident in Canada, was
engaged to lady in England. Circum
stances not favoring his undertaking. the
voyage to his native country, in order to
meet his lady love, she took passage OH
board the Canada, to come to her future
lone, alone and unattended. Arrange
ments had been made by the gentleman
to have the marriage ceremony performed
in an Episcopal church in this city upon
the arrival of the bride, and the rector
was ready to have the church opened at
an hours notice. The steamer reached
East Boston about Il o'clock on Friday
nisht.-The bridegroom was upon the
wharf, anxiously awaiting the appearance
of his betrothed, whom he had not seen
for three years. The parties soon met,
and friend was dispatched to have the
church opened, and the clergyman at the
altar. The arrangements were made af
ter short delay, as the Bishop and Priest
who were to oAiciate had retired for the
night. The bridal party drove from the
steamer to the church. The candles in
the altar gave but a dim light, and the
scene was quite popular. During the
marriageceremony, the clock in the church
struch the midnight hour, so that some
confusion arose respecting the proper date
to give the marriage certificate. The par
ty in the church consisted of but five per
sons--the bride and bridegroom, the two
clergymen of the church, and one wit
ness. The married clergyman took part
IN the religious services of two churches
in this vicinity, on Sunday, and left for the
place of his residence in the early train
yesterday morning Tsunscart.
cone of the B'hoys,,
Fred Swartz, one of our boys, is
one of'em. Fred, is genius in his line.
He had a Cincinnati training and is fin
ishing his education in the Journal office
He is not 'hard' in the common accep-
tation of the word. but knows how to look
out for No. as well as most persons
He is poor boy, with a widowed mother,
and supports her by selling apples, cheap
publications, newspapers, and various
other things, and occasionally gets into a
chicken or some other kind of specula-
zion that lines his fist with little of the
'sinews of war; Fred, makes some
good specs, sometimes, and when he does
SO. becomes elated until his shoes will
hardly hold him. The other day he came
into the Office tossing up half dollar and
bearing on. his counterance smile of
great satisfaction. When asked what was
the matter he said "a feller tried to
take one of my apples, and | wouldn't let
him, and he whipt me, and 1 had him took
before the Mayor, and they fined him sew
en- dollars and a halt, and l got half dol
lar for bein' witness. They swore me
twice-made me hold up my hand two
times. That's better'n going out on the
cars with papers, aint't it?
Fred will get along whether people will
let him alone or not He is a true hero;
he thrives on opposition. The wind that
tries to blow him out only fans his resoIu-
ton into fereer flame. He is a deser-
wing boy and we want to see him pros
per. ~ # aat
