We sec the newspapers are extensively copy

age i'm the Rotllschd family, and dwelling NJ
considerable length OH all the details anu Incl
dents connected with this unnatural marriage
Of kinSfok. We look upon it us conslllnmate
flumme,y, snobism and simplcncSs We view
it as Il mere matter of money! pecunlar!Y
transaction if YOU please-a bargain in which
the feelings OF the heart arS callous and silent.
How unlike this marriage OF these wealthy
parties to Ole We beheld performed by Justice
uuin. True love WAS ut the bottom OF the
union we witnessed. The couple came from
the State Of Alabama TO Columbus, the Grctna
Green for Eastern Alabama They were mount
ell on an old mule which must have becn-'.:
service since the time the Indians were hung (;
and on this stupid stced they rode boldly up to
tue Colonels Office, and asked if the Squire
was at home The bridegroom was dressed il
homcSpun trowSers, of copper color, bis shirt
and narrow suspenderS were made- of coarse,
homemade osanburgS and his dilapidatcd wool
hat, and gaping shoes on sockless feet, finished
his wedding suit. The bride was dressed ina
homc-wove cotton Slip Of indigo hue, a cape of
the same material, Of lnatlder and Turkcy.rcd
color, and thick yarn hose and mittens Of DO
mrstic manufacture Her bonnet, too, was the
work of her own hands. and her slippers OF
primitive style were cut out of tanned deer
skin, and. by her ingenuity made TO suit her
wants Her checks were bluSling with the
ro.catc glow of health. and her apparel was aS
clean as snow.
When tile couple dismouHtcd, the bride was
left in the custody OF the Squire and oursc!,
until the earnest bridegroom could procure Il.
cellsc. lie retured soon with the legal permit

then both politely bid the Squire and ourselves

the old folks at home were pleased or not.
We saw them seal their bargain with kiss
AN earnest kiss. which convinced Us that true
love for one another brought together the union,
not love Of pecunary consideration as brought
about the Ruthschild wedding. This poor cou-
pie will, We believe, see more unalloyed happ-
ness. enjoy better health, prove more value to

mcnials, than they whose bridal ceremonies cost
money enough to make hundred poor families

disposition which, becoming "no better last,
she asked her atlianccd to conduct her home,

fond anticimtions Of the coming day, which was
to see the twain made one,' But during the
night the lady grew worse, and at sunrise she
was mother. The young man says that he
could never have been deceived, had it not been

suit for the recovery Of The value OF his presents,
