= Very sensible remarks said Mr..
Meirs Joyiully, land as you are ohligine
/ enough to leave the matter to my dIrec-
uon, shall say u week from FRIDAY. that
| being the day on which had first antici
pated your coming. This will give Bella
ample time for all necessary preparations,
aud you also TO apprize your father and
such other friends from Baltimore as YOU
choose 10 invite"
. Ii | might be allowed my preference
IN this respect" answered our hero. CLAN
eng al Bella for encouragement, Il
Would much rather not mention ii 10 nv
father and friends till afterwards. and
thuS give them an agreeable surprise
lii fact, before | saw you this morning, |
had not even dreamed OF such sudden
good forlue."
: And besides, interposed Bella, earn
esty, your father might not feel like
JourneylnS SO soon after an attack OF the
gout. As Tor me, would much prefer a
quIe: wedding. with only a few friends
present. Besides, | would a great deal
Father give the money thal woud b.. spent
on such an occasion 10 some Of the poor
families who are starving in tus city.
" Nobly spoken, erred Mr.. Neirs,
with enthusiasm, and gancing at Bella
with world of price aad affection. Ne
bly, spoken, my daughter. With such
prudence. and such charitable feelings
you will make your Cousin John a pat
tern of a wife. | heartily agree with YOU
IN this respect. and you shall have 1t all
your own way"
During the time which elapsed between
this and the day set apart for the mar
rage of his daughter, Mr.. Meirs seemed
overf1owing with good hmnor and ENJOY
IN ant. He made several presents to the
poor OF his acquaintance, and even gave
Bella the sum of five hundred dollars TO
be used, if she chose, for like purpose
In the meantime our hero was living
IN the greatest kind of intimacy with
Bella. Every day they walked or sung
together, while the merchant looked on,
and entered into their plans with increas-
ei satisfaction.
AT length the long anticipated Friday
arrived, aud a few chosen guests were as
sembled at the residence of Mr. Meirs
TO witness the nuptials.
John Peters had exhausted his last dol
lar IN remunerating the tailor who had
furnished his wedding coat, and by the
assistance of the barber, who mad trim
med his mouStache, and cut and curied his
hair after the most approved style, our
hero was really as fine-loolling a fellow
as could be found any where within the
precincts Of the city. Mr.. Meirs and
Bella were not little proud in introdu-
l.. J.
The pastor who presided over the
church with which Mr.. Meirs was con-
nected had already arrived, accompanied
by a clerical acquaintance while Bella
atiIred in a dress of white satin, with
white veil surmounted by crown of
flowers, had Just entered resting on the
arm of the bridesmaid.
During the sensation created by the
entrance Of the bride, another door had
opened, and a young man some five feet
four inches in height, with dusty gar
menls and very red hair, was pushed III
by the servant, and with much amazemenl
depicted on his freekled, uupreposses-
sing features. he sank down in the near
est corner, without attracting particular
attention from the tine the rest of the
company assembled.
