*No, l NEVER WILL MARRY HIM"

One of our exchange papers tell sto-
ry something like the following. Some
months ago, clergyman was called mp
on to marry a young couple who had
vowed to each all the sweet vows that are
to be found in the sweet vocabulary Of
Love. The marriage was to come off in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio. The bride and her
friends had assembled, and every thing
was in readiness for the solemn ceremony
but the bridegroom---th faithless bride
groom. The lady waited---and waited
and waited---and the rascal came not. At
last, having given up every hope of his
arrival, the disappointed bride, full Of
tears and despair, was forced to disperse
her friends, and retire to bed alone, a.
gainst her viii. Not long ago, the same
clergyman was called upon for a similar
purpose, and all the yarties were assem-
bled. The clergyman began the ceremo-
ny; but when he came to the words, 'You
take this man ia be your welded hus-
band r the lady suddenly and emphatical-
ly cried out.
'No! | will never marry him! He
served me meanly six months ago, and
now I'll re-yay him in his own coin!'
The marriage was broken off, and no
entreaties could prevail upon the young
woman to have the disappointed lover
1t was the same lady who mad been prev
iously Tilted, and she returned the compli-
ment in a more decided and mortifying
manner to the tender swain.

Emb al,lkment of the Thames.

The embankment Of the Thames, most pi-
gantlc work, was although we have no partieu.
lar account of it executed or at least directed by
the Romans. Few Of the thousands who enter the
Thames think that the great stream, on which
vessels of the largest size are afoat is, in fact, an
artificial canal, raised in many places considera-
bly, above the level of the surrounding country
II Is wonderful work, and it is singular that we
should have no record of its first execution. The
artificial bank Of the river extends, either on one
side of the river or the ether, almost from the
More to Richmond in Surrey, and some judgement
may be formed of its magnitude by the dicufilty
of repairing breach made by high and violent
tide at Dagenham, in Essex. On this occasion
