An EXCITING ScENE.-A highly EXCITING scene
transpired few days since at one OF the Parisan
churches. A number Of fashionable equipagss
halted in front of the portal and a bride and
bridegroom stepped from the first carnage to be
married IN the church. As soon as the bridegroom.
surrounded by his friends and relatives reached
the door, he was suddenly met by a weIl.dressed
young lady, who had evidently been waiting for
him in the interior Of the church. Stretching out
both arms she held up before him lovely little
girl, six or eight months old, and said in a pierre
ing voice. 8 This Is yeur child, but you are not
worthy Of bringing her up; am going to keep
her. As for these portraits of him who has SO
basely betrayed me, | will give them back to
you" SO saying, she flung two photographs at
his feet. The relatives OF the bride and BRIDE
groom interviewed immediately in order TO put
stop TO the painful scene. They surrounded the
young lady, trying to calm her and take her away.
She consented TO leave the church, but in doing
go, che fixed Der eyes on her little daughter and
exclsmed. " Your father has deserted me bat
this day will be an unucky one for him; God will
curse him, and heaven viii not desert you!v The
young bride. who had already been married TO th
faiihless fellow at the Marie, tainted away WIS
che reawoke TO consciousness, che allowed hersE
to be led TO the altar, where the bridegroom inl
faiteriDg voice and with = livid face, amid the
scornu sneers Of many of the BY standers plighted
bis roth to her.
