An Extraordinary ElOpement and n Mourn
fnl NIarriage-A Weeping Pair of Lovers
and their HymeneHl Cure. rg o. a.l.i
The other day, two of the most rural of
ruralsts, from Clark County, KY, rejoicing
in the names of Mary and Isaac, arrived,
railway haste, at the Spencer House, for the
express purpose, they stated to Col. French,
one of the clerks of the hotel, of entering
Hymen's Court forthwith. After he had
given them all the necessary information as
to the mode of procedure, they seemed to be
overcome with the responsibility of their
position, and, fesrfully impressed with the
awful future before them, at once burst
into tears and fell, like crying children, into
each others arms. LIZ 5a.
So grieved did they seem that they were
told If they had repented, there was no ne
cessity of marrying, and that they had bet
ter return home as they came. To this they
objected, and Mary, drying her eyes for
ried, and marry they must, to which Isaac
| silently assented. .-rtr,.
Here they INDUCED in fresh fit of weep
ing, and hung on each Others neck with
streaming optics-apparen victims to fate

Persuasion and reasoning were employed
in vain. - -'. "a
They would weep, and they would get
married. So, some one induced Isaac and
u
into a carriage, and drive to the Probate
Court for license. &
There they did the lachrymose again very
copiously, but their hearts were still firm.
They looked through fearful orbs at the
dread shape of marriage, and though they
trembledS they did not fly. sis N.i- y
The license was secured, and back they
went to the Spencer.
A Clergyman was secured, and as soon as

have the ceremony performed, they set up
such a regular boo-hOo as is rarely witnessed
outside of low comedy on the stage.
The parson was alarmed; the lookers-on
were surprised and the d. D. told them very
blandly if they were not prepared for the
serious and solemn occasion, it would be
J well to postpone the affair, at least until
they were more composed.

Thus assured, the service went on, and al

burst of aqueous agony that surpassed al
previous efforts.

no longer restrain an audible smile, and lef
