Serving a Subpoena, or Love VS.. Law.


Il is singular what shifts love will make
to accomplish its object. Bolts, gates and
bars are of little avail against Jupid's pick.
lock CONFERENCE.-The cunning will devise
ways and means to open them all. A
young gentleman had courled fair LADY o.
this city, and it was supposed the two il
time would "become one" Some little
quarrel Of trivial nature, as lovers quar-.
rels generally are, occurred. Neither
would confess the wrong to be on theil
side-presents and correspondence were
naturally sent back, and the match was
broken off. The young gentleman imme.
diately started off to New Orleans, to en-
ter into commercial business, thinking that
distance would lessen the attachment be
felt for the young lady.
When woman is injured, or thinks she
is injured by the one she loves, she is more
apt than the male sex "to bite of her own
nose," as the saying is, TO iBfict pain, and
be revenged on the offending object. A
gentleman that the young lady once reject
ed renewed his proposals and was accepted
within week after her old lover had en-
barked for the South. On reaching New
Orleans he found that distance, instead of
weakening his attachment, only made the
lady dearer, and he became melancholy
and low spirited. The first letter be re-
ceived from New York from friend ofhis,
announced that his old flame was to be
shortly married to another His course
was quickly taken; the next morning saw
him on board packet ship bound for Co.
| than.
The passage unfortunately was long, and
the poor fellow chafed and fretted SO much,
that the passengers began to think him de.
ranged, or else fugitive escaping from JUS
tice. The instant the vessel touched The
wharf he darted for the Office of his friend,
the lawyer. 1t is TO be supposed the lat
ter was much surprised to see his friend,
imagining him couple of thousand miles
away. After the usual salutations he ex-
claimed
MY dear fellow you are just in time to
see the wedding. Miss, your old
sweetheart, is to be married this morning,
at l l o'clock. To tell you the truth don I
believe there is much love about it and
that the girl really thinks more of one hair
of your head than the fortunate BRIDE
groom's whole BODY
Good Heavens! Where is she 10 be mar
ried-in church,?
No. At her fathers house,
MY dear fellow-I-I-yes-no-yes,
l will have it. Have you any case coming
on in either of the courts at eleven o'clock ?
Yes
Then I'll me up a Subpoena with the
BRIDE -groom's name. Don't stop to ask any
questions. 1t matters not whether he
knows anything about the parties in the
suit. By heavens, Julia shall be mine!'
His friend saw The object at once and |
promised to carry on the matter. The Sub
pnna was made out and placed in the hands
of the clerk to serve on the unsuspecting
bridegroom the instant be was seen to
leave his residence, and was despatched in
a cab to watch the house. About ten min
utes before eleven, as the soon to be happy
man wGs entering coach before the door
of his residence he was served with the sub
pana.
Cant help it, said the clerk in reply to
bis gesticulating about not knowing the par
ties,' going to be married. &c. we shan't
reach the Hall now before eleven-the case
is the first one on the calendar, heavy fine,
imprisonment for contempt, &c.'
The bridegroom who was rather Of
timid nature finally consented, particularly
as the clerk promised to send a friend Of
his who sat in the cab, wrapped up in a
large cloak, to the house of his bride in ex-
pectatiou. explaining the reason of his ab-
sence. The reader can imagine who this
person was.
Eleven O'Clock came, but still no BRIDE
groom. The guests were staring at each
other-the priest began to grow impatient
and the bride that was to be, looked pale
and agitated, when carriage drove up, the
bell rang and There be is!' There he isl
murmured many voices A gentleman did
enter, whose appearance created almost as
much astonishment as that of Edgar Ra-
VensWood in the Hall Of Ashton Castle, at
the marriage of Lucy Ashton in Scott's
Bride of Lammermoor.' The lady tainted

ers were joined in the sacred bond of mat
rimony much to the satisfaction of all.
The bridegroom that was to hava been,

luainted with the condition of affairs was
really tragi comical.
The story of the subpoena shortly after
eaked out, and has created SO much amuse-
