lady Of his stage adventure two winters
before. she had remembered his face,
and making herself known, she made
known also her troubles. She had been
kept in a seminary in Mt Holyoke du-
ring three seasons. She had that sum
mer determined to emancipate herself,
and forming an acquaintance with q
travelling theatrical company, she had
run away q month previous from her
school and had travelled thereafter with
the troupe-playing small parts, and en-
joying herself hugely Her father, who
had been skirmishing oil over the East
ern States, had got on her track and cap
tured her at last, and was taking her
home q prisoner. She was even then
locked in her state-room, but at the ta-
BILE having recognized the friend of her
previous escapade, she had pointed him
out to a quick-witted waiter, and effected
this communication.
The Boston merchant began to feel a
growing interest in the willful captive,
and an arrangement was made for further
communication in New York.
The young man, armed with proper
credentials, approached the paternal rel
ative, who perhaps feeling incompetent
to manage with continued credit the
fiery, untamed spirit of his offspring,
made no great resistance to the invader;
and this month, with great pomp and
splendor, the Boston merchant has taken
for better and worse the adventurous
young lady he met in Fifth avenue
stage, bound for Brooks. academy.
Whether she may not learn some day
the steps peculiar to Lanigan,s ball
time can alone determine. But, all
things considered, of the trio who took
the introductory ride that brought about
this connection, / am disposed to think
paterfamalias has the best Of it.
