A BLINDFOLD MARRIAGE.
BY GEORGE L. AIKEN,

The elite of the Court of Louis the XIVth
the great monarch Of France, were assem-
bled in the chapel of the great TrianOn to
witness the nupitals Of Louis Count of
Franch Compte-a natural son of the king
with Lydonie, Dutches de Baiiverne, a
wealthy heiress.
Tho singular feature Of the ceramony was
that the bridegroom's eyes were bandaged
with white handkerchief.
The circumstance excited the wonder of
all. Had the bride been old and ugly they
would not have been surprised. On the
contrary she wss y0ang and quite pretty.
The king alone understood this strange
freak of the bridegroom and, though much
enraged, lie pru iently held his peace and
suffered the ceremony to proceed.
A few words viii explain the motives Of
the bridegroom.
|. When Louis the XVIII came back from
his great campaign in the Palatlnate, he
determined to unite his son, whose valoI
and daring in the war had greatly pleased
him to one Of the wealthy wards OF the
crown.
He proposed the union to the young
Duchess of BaliYerne, and found her ia,
vorably ineliued.
She had Just come to the Court, having
just emerged from Ihe convent where she
had just completed her education.
She had seen the young Count often,
though he had never deigned to cast a
glance upon her. She know he was brave
aud noble, aud abe thought handsome. The
bar-sinister in bis escutcheOn was no OBJ
lection. She accepted him.
Unfortunately Louis of Franche Compte
who like his father was something OF rep.
rebate, would not accept her.
my son" said the great King, IL have
resolved that you shall marry"
"My worthy sir and most excellent faith
err" returned tho count, Il have resolved
to do no such thing !"
The king frowned. He was not in the
habit of being contradicted.
IL have made formal proposition in
your name, for the hand Of the Duches Of
Baliverne. and she has accepted you" said
he gfavely.
"Doubtless," sneered the young serape,
grace, 'her taste is excellent, and could she
refuse me Perhaps il would have been
as we'll to have consulted my inclinationG
in the matter. do not wish to marry.'
