lady hailing from village on the Dor
der of Highland County, in this State,
who had just been bound together by
the cementing links of matrimony,
DESTROYS of enjoying the pleasantries
of their honeymoon in this great city
of pleasure, amusements, and sights
(no reference to the big DC at Brigh-
ton) concluded they would visit the
vale of Pork, which visit was duly
registered upon the books of the far
famed Spencer House, and special
room assigned them by the affable
clerk, who knows what is appropriate
for such guests. This newly married
couple, by the way, might be we'll
termed "a diminutive pair, although
they would afford an admirable
trast to General Tom. Thumb and
wife; old enough to get married, yet
in size well mated, but as for size it

tiful bridal chamber, with its cosy
furniture, damask curtains, &c, all
seemed to her to be a regularly con-
structed Lilliputian paradise, de-
signed for her especial enjoyment.
She enjoyed it muchly.
Our hero, after seeing his newly
made wife snugly ensconced upon the
inviting sofa for a slight rest from her
journey, repaired to the Office with
step of determination, exhibiting, at
least to his own satisfaction, that he
was some" and no mistake, mar
ried man. With lofty demeanor he
thus accosted the clerk: 0W
