A New Comedy of ErrOrs-Twicero
Married. A"


From the Paris True Kontuckian, Oct. leIif
Our neighboring little city of CynlhianR2
noted for its "bright maidens aud fbPaysOf
men"-was a few days since the scene Of AZ
new and exciting comedy of errors. The
hero of our story saw aud loved vOuuI.
beautiful and modest crfaCuper-bedu idegEY
of all that was lovely and loyable in womln.

Like one who kDe,liug to some beauteous stary 10
tic fondy deems that from its hOme atar.y 30
1t sends an answering & ance his soul to bless."S
His love was warmly reciprOcated; Btltlt
the - old folks" objected. La this instanre.9
however. as the parties were OF legal agY,D
their objections constituted no serious OBJ
stacle to their union; so, accompanied W
their friends, they left their homes andio
came short distance to CynthiaDa,i re-,1
paired to the Ranki HOusp, there to await
the completion of the preliminaries, which
were to culmnate in thG,mArriage. .'lb1 no
The parties went at once to the clerks
office, and procured, as they supposed, the
proper license; but the clerk had, of c0ufse,iF
unintentiOnaly, filled up the blank inOtM6I3
marriage license with the names of th9ut1to
tenddntS. 1t was soon discovered, however. :,
that "some one had blundrred," and the
clerk, erasing the gentlemam's name, subj
stituted the correct one. He tailed, how-iv
ever, to notice that the lady's name was at. =,
so wrong, and hence did not alter it. ''.4
The preliminaries being, as it was SUPP III
posed, admirably arranged, the party9reaUs
turned to the Rankin HJuse, the minister In
was sent for. and the right couple were
speedily married. .'' .. -Hl AHI
Herewith the marriage of our hero audsb
heroine-if we were writing novel, 9nBdt
story would end. But fidelity to tbeT
" truth of history" requires us to pro- VI
coed. Need we, however, attempt toI{TesU
scribe the scenes after marriage Wherein
amid the congratulations OF friends. the
bride, blushmg with sweet confusion, shone'
conspicuous; nor, how .o3' 'lnsiiA
All went merry as a marriage belll" H0biW
Thus passed several hours, until the fouHm
arrived for retiring, and when the oleElsv
was assigning the parties their respective
rooms, learning from the party who issded
the license the names of those married9 itnf
was discovered that the marriage licensesh
was wrong; and the clerk not knowing Of
the error, nad assigned the m .rried lady gi0
separate room, while to the one unmaffiedio
he signed the bridal chamber 7gd1oId
,Ah then and there was hurrying to and fro.r,H
And gathering tears and trenblings Of distresE
And cheeks all rale, which but tan hoursgO, bHI Va

The hour was quite late, but the mihisteFi9
was again sent for, the license recorreeted,io
and the parties-af5ert their unusual ebapsdt
ter of accidents-agsin remarked. In cpI7st
