SURVIVING A SUBPOENA,
LOVE VS.. LAW.


picklock CONFERENCE.-The cunning viii
devise ways and means to open them all
A young gentleman had cOurted fail
lady of this city, and it was supposed the
two in time would "become one." Some
little quarrel of trivial nature, as lovers
quarrels generally are, occurred. Neither
would confess the wrong to be on theil
side--presents and correspondence were
mutually sent back, and the match was
broken off. The young gentleman imme
diately started of for New Orleans, to en-
ter into commercial business, thinking
that distance would lessen the attachment
he really felt for the young lady.
When the woman is injured, or thinks
she is injured by the one she loves, she is
more apt than the male sex 'to bite off hel
own nose as the saying is, to inAict pain,
and be revenged on the offending object
A gentleman that the young lady had
once rejected renewed his proposals and
was accepted within a week after her old
lover had embarked for the South. On
reaching New Orleans he found that dis.
tance, instead Of weakening his attach
ment, only made the lady dearer, and he
became melancholy and low-spirited. The
fist letter he received from New York
from friend of his, announced that his
old flame was TO be shortly married to
another. His course was quickly taken
the next morning saw him on board a
packet-ship bound for Gotham.
The passage unfortunately was long,
and the poor fellow chafed and fretted so
much that the passengers began to think
him deranged, or else fugitive escaping
from justice. The instant the vessel touch.
ed the wharf he darted for the Office of his
friend, the lawyer. 1t is to be supposed
the latter was much surprised to see his
friend, imagining him couple of thou
sand miles away. After the usual sauta-
tions, he exclaimed:
My dear fellow, you are Just in time 10
see the wedding. Miss, your old
sweetheart, is to be married this morning
,at II clak. To tell you the truth, l
dom believe there is much love about it,
and thatsthe girl really thinks more of one
hair of your head than the fortunate bride.

No, at her fathers house
MY dear fellow--l--I--yes--no-.yes

Yes
Then I'll up a subpoena with the BRIDE
groom's name. Don't stop to ask any
questions. 1t matters not whether he
knows anything about the parties in the
suit. By Heaven! Julia shall be mine'
His friend saw the object at once, and
promised to carry on the matter. The
subpoena was made out and placed in the
hands Of Ia clerk to serve on the unsuspec-
ting bridegroom the instant he was seen
to leave his residence, and was despatched
in cab TO watch the house. About ten
minutes before eleven, as the soon-to-be
happy man was about entering coach
before the door of his residence, he was
served with subpoena.
Cant help it, said the clerk, in reply
to his gesticuleting about mot knowing
the parties,' goM, to be married. &c.-

large cloak, to the house of his bride in

absence. The reader can imagine who
this person was.

A gentleman did enter, whose appear

as that of Edgar Ravensworth in the Hall
of Ashton Castle at the marriage Of Lucy
Ashton in SCOTS Bride of Lammermoor
The lady fainted--private explanation
ensued btween her parents and the lover
and the result was, that in ten minutes af
ter, the two real lovers were joined in the
sacred bond of matrimony, much to the
satisfaction of all.
The bridegroom that was to have been,
afterwards made his appearance putting

he did, on beholding his rival, and being
made acquainted With the condition of
affairs, was really tragi comlcal.

which he lost wife. 1t will be novel
