les. And who are you that dare to oh,
(ect to my daughters marriage with
her cousin? Will you explain yourself
sir!' cried the cnraged Mr.. Meirs,
shaking his fist in the face Of the ter
rifed intruder. Speak, or by my faith
4 will bundle you headforemost into
the street.
| can sir, replied the proprietor of
the chair, "whiie you continue so excl
ted.
Then, by my soul, cried the merch-
ant, still more excited in his tone, III
just give you to understand that you
have no right to dictate in my house,.
And suiting tho action to the word, he
seized the unlucky intruder by the
shoulder, and forced him out of the
room.
Now, cried Mr.. Meirs, turning to the
clergyman; please proceed with the &C.
rcmony.
Agreeably to Mr.. Meirs request, the
ceremony proceeded, and in less time
than it takes us to relate it, John and
Bella were indissolubly united in the
bonds OF Wedlock. ..... ....
No sooner was the ceremony ended,
than Bella clasping her husbands hand
knelt before her father and said: For
give us dear father, for the deception
we have practiccd upon you-This is
not cousin John of Baltimore .. ..
Then who under the sun is he? cried
MIR. Meirs, glancing about the room in
the most bcwildcrcd manner.
at is John Peters, but not cousin
John. My dear husband came in the
first place to you, in search of a situa-
alton, and you forgetting that there
might be another John Peters in the
world besides your nephew John, have
very innocently assisted us in carrying
cut the deception. Therefore you must
forgive him, my dear father, for he is
far less to blame than either Of us, for
| you IN the first place being deceived
by the name, and we in the second place
having the misfortune to be greatly
pleased with one another, it was quite
natural for us to yield to .he tompta-
tion - ... -. ......
81 see" answered Mr.. Mcirs, with
much apparent chagrin, II have just
had the honor of turning your cousin,
out OF doors, which makes a compound
blunder ON my part. 70 tell you the
trnth Bella, | am far more vexed al
my own stupidity than with any ono
else. AS for John Peters," added Mr..
Nleirs in a half humorous, half sarcas,
tic tone, | think must forgive him foi
his names sake, if nothing more. AS
for yon hussay, | shan't say tonight
whether ! shall forgive you or not
1t will depend mainly on how We sue.
ccea in pacifying your cousin john"
Suffice it to say, for the final gratif.
cation of the reader, that John Peters
of Baltimore was readily pacifcd, af-
ter u suitable explanation and apology
being rendered him by his cousin, on
the following day, and, what is still
ayerred, did actually laugh over the
circumstance so heartily, that for Il
moment his face became rcddcr than
his hair. And still further by those
who have Il right to know, it has been
affirmed that John Peters of Connccti-
cut became not only model husband
to Bella, but a model assistant to Mr..
Alcrs, in all matters pertaining to bus
mess. .-IIag @ our Union.
