The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-01-10

The initial clopcIncnt Of the season took
place in our city yesterday, aud 10 spic" our
local column and furnish food for youihiul
gossip, we hasten 10 chronicle the TACT.
Ii seems that. not many months since, city
youth, upon whose brow eighteen summers
had already poured their sunshine, became
cnamored Of 4 charming little laSSle who had
scarce seen her fifteenth May morning, ana
she in the sweet, trustful impulses of her
heart, returned the affection IN full measure
But, alas their times OF WooinE had 10 De III
secret, as the parents of the little lady, lndlg-
nant IL her lovers fond attentions, lofoade
their companionship.
However. this but inflamed the fires Of love
in the hearts of the young wooers, ana every
clandestine meeting was thrice sweetened by
its very steallhiness. The swain ana his
charmer resolved 10 brave the fury OF angry
parents, and take each other Tor better or
worse, as the sequel might prove.
Yesterday the dear young heroine, OF whom
we write, dressed herself in her best ana come
hest attire, and was about stepping 1"rth 10
enjoy morning walk, when her good mother,
like those warsteeds who scent the Daltle
from afar, having q shadowy, underlined pre-
sentiment Of what her daughter medltaled
exercised her maternal authority TO the eHteh ,
of sending the young lady back TO her room ana
unrObing her of her before mentioned azure.
Was the romantic affair in prospect 10 fail OF
fruition thus Not SO. The waiting anxious
Romeo, ready for the emergency which he was
satisfied had come in that ms Jullet hta NOT 81
kept lovers time, NJ once dispatched one OF
his Young comrades to the lady $ house with u
pressing message ostensibly from said COM
rade's sister, that she would be pleased 10
have her call on her Immediately on some
urgent business. OF course our Juliet could
not think of denying her friend request, and
hastily donned once more the attire she had
lust laid off. The now unsuspecting mother
made no objection 10 her going, but noticed a
carriage, with two youths seated Ill IL, pass the
house moment after her daughter lett. That
carriage overlook our heroine before she had
walked many squares, stopped, and III she en-
tered. Was She only going 10 visit her lady
friend, as requested.
The next we saw of our young heroine was
when she was standing demurely by the side
OF her happy lover, iii front OF the altar oil one
of the up town churches, and reverend doc
tor was 3yllabling the words that We're 10 make
of the twain one flesh"
The scene again changes, and the espoused
pair are the occupants OF an elegant room In
one of our leading hotels, the bride rccitlng TO
a friend who has called upon her the extreme
felicity of being free from parental yoke-of
living in the unrestrained caresscs of the man
she loved-of enjoying the splendor and lu&u-
ries of hotel life. she talked on rapturously
of everything around her. All was sunshine
now-the clouds had all departed. In this
mood she was prevailed upon TO write her
mother mole, acquainIIng her with the par
ticulars OF her new situation and the cause OF
her prolonged absence. This was the first
intimation the parents had of their daughters
whereabouts. Judge of their surprise on
reading that note.
LATEsr.-Some hopes are entertained Of a
reconciliation being effected to-day between
the oiu ioiks on the part OF the offended, anu
tue young loiks, on the part of the offenders
