AN ENGLISH ELOPEMENT,

A late English paper relates h, particulars
of rom ptic eIopement which rece thy "a
ton shed tn tonof ondon The account states:
at appears thai young gent eman, closely
relat,d 10 a royal parsonage, was placed at
II milit rs academy 70 receive tn usual edu
cation afforded the cadets. He became en-
amoied of poor but respectful e girl that
lived in he neighborhood who possessed al
The graces of rustic beauty ndall the charms
usua ly asso,ia ed with higher sts,ion in
life This ptssion was reciprocated, and for
many months both parties maintained q
secret correspondence making the hollow tree $
of an ancient park the deposi DRY of their
auol au missives AT length an elopement
was de ided U on. A few days ago the young
gentleman proceeded 10 a neighboriBg hot !,
ordered fly, and gave directions to the
driver o proceed to the nearest railway sta
tinn. The fly had not advanced far on its
journey VIII n young lady wa, observed 10
the road, and the occupant of the vehicle, ad-
dressing hes as if she were a 10 al strabg.r,
inquired it she was going to the railway sta
ton, q d, receiving reply in the affirmative
he asked her il she uld like to ride After
some apparent hesitation he offer was ACCEPT.

On arriving at the Railway station, the in~
C onto was thrown off, and the youthful
pair took tain for tie North, VIII, re they res
NAMED Sc eraI days undiscovered. In the
meantime the parents of the girl, who were
led to believe that che had only gone out 10
ga the afternoon at neighbours, were in
the greatest alarm, and, finding that she did
not return within the st ted time. they N de
every exertion to dis over her. At first their
effor appeared likely to prove futile, but as
soon as It was rumored ihata pupil at the nils
lazy school had abscondtd, suspicion was
a oused, and it was subsequently, ssceriained
wher the truant pair had located themselves.
The fathet ofthe young gentleman immedi-
ately proceeded thither, and discovered them
in small cot age, comfortably seated before
turf fire, partaking of breakfast. 1t appear
ed that the marriag, ceremt ny he'd teen duly
gone through, and, it being now too late to
undo matters, sort of compromise was ef-
fec'ed. The father Of the young gentleman
WHO is clergyman in high position in the
Church of England, was at first highly in
dignant with his ION, cut ultimately relented
in soae. degree, and consented to pay their
p s,.ge TO Australia, if they would agree to
expla their folly by this species of exi e.
The newly married couple accepted the offer
al the alonement and were speedily on the
way to heir destination. a'" 7 l
