The Cleveland Herald is informed that or
Thursday last Lucy Stone and II. B. Black
well, Esq, were married. Both are famous
/ in a certain way and degree, and that they
were made for each other we do not doubt
| That they should become one flesh and bone
was contamination devoutly to be wished.
But how could Blackwell ask her? Did h.
| inquire for bread and receive a Stone? If SO
was his declaration intentional? Most per-
sons will be glad. as surprised, to learn Of
these distinguished conversions from disun-
ionist doctrines and the disciples of the
manifest destiny annexation school will be
| in autter at this new accession Of numbers.
Who could have thought that Cupid, venture
some archer as ne is, would have dared to aim
a shaft at her, as she stood defiant in bloomer
! ieggings on the highest ground of the higher
law platform ? What will she do with her
anti Slavery notions can it be that she i'm
AGNES the State of Matrimony q free State !?
What can be her notions of that sspecaliar
institution" Of which she is part--thc one
composed of man and wife? Does she con-
slider herself the better or worser half of the
firm? 1t is certain that she wears the breech-
es, and Mr.. Blackwell is perhaps the only man
in this country who has taken woman unto
himself, allowing her that privilege. Will
two pair of breeches be in constant use in the
family? If so, which is to be the premium
pair? By the way, what kind of a marriage
could have suited Lucy? Of course she did
cot sncrafce principle, and with her ideas
of womans rights, and the horrors Of malri-
monia servitude with which those of the
middle passage are only synonymous as she
verify believe) how could the documents be
prepared, and the ceremonies performed SO as
to leave her sufficient scope to verge in the
battle field Of life? She, that never believed
in compromises has she compromised herself !?
Why has she permitted her name to be black
ened in this way, even until it has become
Blackwell? Really, seriously, wo are glad
that Lucy has been turned from the evil Of her
ways. She is not so stiff hecked rs we thought
she was. That Mr. Blackwel's heart was BE-
ing turned to Stone, his condnct on several
occasions during the past year has led US to
believe, but. that he would cleave to an idol
of that material, knowing his intense skcpti-
clsm, we We're hardly prepared to hear Lucy
had for some years been the worshiped one of
all the dreadfully exc;tab. unmarried anti
slavery men. Hopeless bachelors of the ..di-
vine dissatisfaction school hung round the
platforms OF the Conventions where she dis
played her charms Of intellect, az did disc n
ISOLATE Benedicts roand the Hobbies where &C.
rito danced. But Miss Lucy prided hers If ON
her strength, and STOCK her time' But
blackwell came down upon her with a coup
d'etat. He subdued her y no grand triumph
of arms, or dazzling burst Of fanatical elo-
quence, but by tearing little slave girl from
the neck of her mistress in Salem. Who does
net remember the s.Salem rescue,' and the
part taken in that performance by the groom
on this occasion? The secret history of the
Salem matter is now written. The coming
event cast its shadow from that town; and a
transcend ntal friend remarked yesterday,
in his opinion one issue Of this affair would
render '''he coming man. no longer myth,
So take your time Mrs. Lucy.
