Now, the captain had fixed himself all
up for. the other occasion, so there was
no difficulty in his dress or looks, though
he did not like the blindfolding part; he
had finally consented, and dainty little
handkerchief was placed over his eyes,
.sweetly scented and worked all over.
His fair pilot then took his arm and
escorted him around corners, mp streets,
and finally stopped at nice little house,
rang a bell, and the next minute the
captain was in the presence Of large
company there assembled, he thought,
to see the wedding. When the hand
kerchief was removed he found himself
the centre OF all eyes. At one end of
the room (which we will state here was
in q clergyman's house was 0 minister
all ready to do his part of the arrange
ment. In few minutes the door was
opened, and in came the bride elect all
dressed for the occasion, but with
heavy mask on, which she informed the

he promised to Glove, honor and keep

They stood up, the captain all ankle
ty, aud the minister commenced. The
captain made his VOWS, and when the
lady was about TO do the same, she
removed her mask, and said to the
astonished and mortified groom, John,
could not let you have another wife
while / was living" The captain now
looked down, and who should it be but
his wife, who he thought was ont West,
and not dreaming that she was so near;
but she, having heard of the attention
he had been paying to the lady i'll ques-
tion had come on and arranged the plan
which was carried out. In another mo-
ment in rushed a little, curly-headed
boy, crying, Papa! papan' The cap
tain, who had COME so near doing some
thing bad, finding he could not get out
of thesscrape, gave in, and started away
with his lawful wife and little one; but
before doing SO he asked to see the fair
conductor who brought him to the
honse, and you can imagine his amaze
ment when the lady stepped mp and he
found it to be the very lady TO whom he
had intended to pop the question that
night. The curtain dropped here, and
the last we saw of the captaia he was
stepping into carriage with his wife
and child.
