"Marrying in haste and repenting at
leisure" was realized day or two since
by an over-susceptible young man, who,
for some time past, has occupied posi-
ton as salesman in a fashionable dry
goods establishment in this city. On
Thursday, showy-loOking brunette,
dressed in the extreme Of fashion, called
for the first time at the store, and while,
the young man waited upon her conver-
sation sprung up, which speedily warmed
into SO easy a familiarity that al invita-
ton was extended by the fair one to him him
to call upon her at the house where she
was stopping, previous to her returning
South. The young man, who was half
seas over in love at first sight, called the
next day, and then learned that the lady
was the daughter .of rich planter in
Louisiana; that she had been upon visit
to friends in Columbus, and was remain-
ing here for few days for the purpose Of
seeing the city. as well as awaiting the
arrival of boat with the captain Of
which she was acquainted, and whose
protection it was her wish to avail herself
of until her arrival home. An invitation
from the young man to visit Pixies Opera
House, that evening" and see the Zoaaves
drill, was accepted, and at the appointed
time carriage was at the ladies' entrance
of the hotel, into which the lady was
handed by her devoted cavalier, Who in
the course OF the evening fell q helpless
captive beneath the bright glances from
those dark eyes which looked into his own.
Upon the following morning he turned
his back upon the store, and soon found
himself under the magnetic influence Of
the beautiful Creole, when unable to con-
troll his feelings, he followed Lord Ches-
tcrfclds advice, and ventured upon a
declaration of love. The lady did not
spurn him; on the contrary, she acknowl-
edged q reciprocal passion, with the result
that a marriage was agreed upon, and be-
fore that night the inpatient pair were
coupled as man and WIFE But the felicity
of the swain was of short duration; their
honeymoon was so brief as to scarcely
realize one sweet remembrance. The next
day. while tho newly married pair were
sitting loving in their chamber, a good
looking middle-agcd yellow woman was
ushcred into the apartment, VINO, advan-
cling at once to the bride, exclaimed:
"Oh. Narcissa, how cruel you are to
leave me in this manner; why did you do
it 2" -
The beautiful " Creole" looked the pic
ture of confusion, while the astonished
bridegroom demanded an explanation,
which speedily came, and overwhelmed
him with astonishment and indignation.
His lady love was sure enough the daugh-
ter of the intruder and prominent white
citizen of Louisville, who had educated
her above the station in which circum-
stances and the irretrievable blemish OF
color had placed her. Two weeks before
she became acquainted with the young
dry-goods man, she eloped with a heart
less scoundrel, who left her in Columbus,
but not without money, for beside a good
wardrobe and iewelry, she had over one
hundred dollars in her possession. Find-
ing herself deserted she came to this city,
when what we have narrated ensued.
How she intended to explain and smooth
matters to her young husband is q mat
ter of conjecture, but the abrupt intrusion
of her maternal relative, who had traced
her first to Columbus, and then to this
city, produced the sudden dsnousnleat.
The young man, who is respectfully con-
nectod in this locality, has disappeared.
The bride Of day was taken back to
Louisville yesterday

he cried aloud to break the loneliness,
and heard voice which called to him in
the same tone. He called again, and, as
he thought the voice again Knocked him.
Flushed with anger, he rushed to find
no one. He then called out TO him in
anger, and with all abusive cpithets. all
Of which were faithfully returned to him.
Choking with rage, therchild ran to his
mother, and complained that boy in the
woods had insulted him with words
