/ A Romantic Match.
i We have just learned Of some romantic
adventures which took place at Cynthiana,
KY, a few days ago. 1t appears that
very clever, fine. e.looking young gentleman
from PhIadelphia, had occasion to visit
Cynthiana, on business, during the pas.
winter, and while there. became acquaint-
ed with young lady. Miss B, some-
what celebrated for her charms. Mr..
s., the Philadelphian, was not proof
against the bright eyes Of the Kentucky
maiden. He had never seen such spark
ling pair Of orbs. among the daughters Of
the Old Keystone. He was ravished, in
toxica,ed, and finally proposed and was
accepted. 80
With light heart he started back for
the Quaker City to make the necessary
arrangements for the celebration OF his
nupials. the day for which having already
been agreed upon. The winter rolled on,
and spring and its flowers came again.. as
did also the particular day tor the lovers
return, but he came not. In two days
more the marriage waste come off. With
her bright eyes full of tears, she denounc-
ed in secret the faithlessness of her lover,
and trembled at the open modification
which would overwhelm her if he came
not. At this favorable juncture, an old
E discarded lover, whom no unkindness
could divest OF hope or lessen the iervency
| Of his, first affection, presented himself.
He renewed his suit. He spoke of his
undying love; Of cottage somewhere in
the deep bosom OF an outrageous grove,
! with the honey-suckle snd the jasmine
, creeping over the windows and along the
lat,iced porch. The trembling fair one
l. was charmed at the picture. Love and q
cottage-the quintessence Of human bliss
S in the. estimation of girl Of ..sweet six
= teen." She blushed and smiled, but yet
hesitafed. The lover was in extacies al
2 the favorable symptoms. With renewed
. ardor. he urged his suit He was prolific
i in tears and promises, and trimmed the
E cottage with few more honey-suckles,
and the thing was done. The Philadel-
:. phia gallant was given up. He was q
. "laggard in love- and deserved no con-
s sideration.
i Her faith was plighted to another, and
the same day fixed for the marriage which
# was to have witnessed her union with
/. Mr.. S.
Dl But the end was not yet During the
!. same day third lover presented himself
: and declared his passion. The fair maid
$ en- frankly told him she had just engaged
V herself TO another, and invited him to the
wedding as guest instead Of groom
). On the same evening. (Sundsy Mr.. s.

: long in finding out how matters stood. and
