family with whom he boarded, became tired of
the house, and quit it in disgust. This, accord
ing to the Weekly Crescent, was what disguised
him:
The gentleman with whom he boarded had a
daughter-an unkimmon nice young gal"
New York undertook to Ego in lemons'-and
did-as far as the old man was concerned; for
! he Ind a good name, a good situation, in the
clerical way, and pocket always full of money.
But with the girl, he couldn't shine" She
had long ago bestowed her affections upon
Young man, who, though not "saleur boy,
had been bred carpenter" and was gallant
and bold" Things at last came to focus. Inc
father and daughter compared notes, and could
not agree.
The father exercised his authority, and pro-
nounced that terrible word, must in favor of
New York. The daughter succumbed, to all
appearance But she conferred clandestinely
with her carpenter, young Louisiana; and the
result was one of those Vaccinations which true
love always inspires-furnishing the wit to con-
ceive and the nerve to do.
In other words, the lovers resorted to the plot
diabolcal. The young lady began to look upon
New York with complaisance, and finally came
around" to him in q manner that made him
nearly wild with Joy. 1t was not long before
the thing was fairly and squarely understood
between young New York, the young lady, and
the old man her father. Nothing was left but
for New York to shell out, for preliminaries.
the wedding, and 500 to the old man to pur-
chase a few articles of furniture, necessary to
convert one of the rooms in the house to bri-
dial chamber The young lady, having her
$500, begged her father to let her likewise
spend the 800 given to him, and he handed
! it over.
Next morning tue young lady was missing,
and by singular coincidence it was discovered,
upon inquiry, that young Louisiana was missing
also. New York was not long in discovering
that his dulcinea and the "yOung man bred
carpenter" had flown together for a certain
town in Mississippi, not n thousand miles over
the line. He followed with all possible haste,
and reached the town after them, but before they
had a chance to get married. Judging rightly
that marriage was in contemplation, he had it
stopped by making affidavit against Louisiana
as thief and causing his arrest and incarcera-
ton in Jail. Louisiana, of course, was frantic,
and New York was pToportionately proud But
the young lady, it seems, had been neither lost
nor won. Going before the Justice who had
caused her lovers arrest, "a piteOus tale she
told, and many tears she she'd" The Justice
was human, and the young lady'S tears being
backed by an offer Of fifty dollars in gold, he
granted her prayer-which was, that he should
go with her and marry her to her lover in Jail.
Witnesses were at once procured, and the party
started to the jail.
As they passed by the tavern in which New
York was Indignantly taking his ease, and wait
ing the issue of events, that energetic young
gent saw his faithess fairone in their midst
He set about making inquiries, and in few mo-
ments learned the dreadful truth He few to
tue Jail, but the gate was locked; and as the
young lady, through the Judge, had got the
town on her side, there was no admission for
him, under any circumstances, into that jril.-
And so it actually took place, that whilst New
York was outside, cursing, swearing, banging
at the gate, and making fool of himself gener-
ally. tho idol of HE heart. inside. was roing
through solemn ceremony, which made her
the rio special and extraordinary ofthe poor
young carpenter, forever and ever.
After that, the Judge, finding that New York
was not likely to bring forward any testimony
to sustain his accusation of larceny against Lou
isiana, dismissed Mr.. and Mrs. Louisiana, and
they came home in triumph, The wife went to
her father spunkily, and told him what she had
done, and how she had done it, leaving it to his
discretion to make as good ascttlement as he
might with the doubly bamboozled New York
err And this concludes the story, so far as We
have heard Whether New York got his mo-
ney back or not, we were not advised.
