ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Some time since young married lady, wife
of one of our citizens, accompanied by sister
then lately widowed, left city on a tour
South. The widow, on the boat for New Or
leans, became enamored with young man of
genteel appearance, and prior 10 her leaving the
sunny south was clandestinely married to him !;
but owing to the recent decease of her husband,
it was deemed expedient to keep the matter se-
cret in this city. She came home, leaving her
husband in New Orleans, until suitable time
arrived to make the matter public. Meantime,
the young gentlemen of our city were on The
alert to secure the hand of our young widow,
and very lavish of their attentions; no ball, par
ty or concert was complete without her pres-
ence; being very lively, pretty and beautifully
supplied with that article, the ssroot of all evil
nothing was lacking to make her company de-
sirable After some mouths, q young gentle
man from the south arrived, wooed and won
the affections of our young widow. The father,
not liking that stranger whom nobody appear
ed to know, should be introduced as q member
of their honorable household without having
some knowledge of his standing in his society,
had repeatedly urged his daughter to demand
some references in regard to the matter but as
she declined, the old gentleman took the matter
upon himself, and asked some evidence on the
subject 'but the young man Indignantly de-
clines any negotiation with the father. He be.
came TeSolute Dut TIE Qaugnter Delng ner own
mistress, appointed the day for the nuptials.
The time arrived, a fashionable company
were gathered together, minister of one of our
Churches, with prayerbook in hand, was present,
ready to perform the ceremony, the happy cou-
pie standing up to respond to such questions as
are usual on such interesting occasions, when
to the establishment of all present-the father,
in very peremptory manner demanded some
reference before he could give his consent to
his daaghters marriage to an entire stranger.
The stranger was not discomposed in the least,
at the re guest but quietly taking document
from his pocket handed it to the father saying at
the same time she hoped that would be salts
factory" The father was awe struck. The
document was marriage certificate dated in
New Orleans some eigteen months before !.
The orthy divine deemed ii unnecessary to re.
peat what had been legally done before, and re.
tired as did all the company save the father,
bride and her husband-who is very good fel

Hurrah for young widders!

Before my neighbours door:
Two boots, with patent-leather tips
Two boots which seemed to say:
