An EIopement by Proxy.

4
True love is supposed to have two
main characteristics--one that 1t never
runs smoothly to the haven of matrimo-
nial felicity, and another that it is quite
irrepressible, or, as the ole adage phrases
it, "love laughs at locksmiths." Among
the arrivals ON the New Orleans steamer
day OF two since, was fair and wln>
some lady, who had eloped from her
lover, PARENT, not with her lover, but
with his atler ego, who like good soul
had come to the lovers assistance when
greatly needed, and was in that respect
a friend indeed. The State of affairs
a few days since, was just about this !:
The gentleman was in Galveston, and
his business matters were ln such
condition that he could neither safely
or honorably leave them. The lady was
in New Orleans and-well they were
just for each other, while the old folks
severely told them that they could not
think of such thing. Well, the young
folks did, aud the more they thought
about each other, the more they kept
doing it. till at last, for fear of accidents
trusty friend went over, established
communication within the enemy's lines,
made raid, and bore off triumphantly
the coveted prize, aud away they sped
'.over the water and over the lea,' to
If not to Charley-to Galveston,
where the expectant bridegroom was
standing on the wharf, straining his eyes
to sight the steamer that brought his
blushing, weeping, but true and tender
bride. OF the joyful meeting, and
happy wedding, it Is not necessary to
speak, but content ourselves with wish
ing them many happy days, aud that
the young bride may never regret elopn

To enumerate all the runawsys,

First on the list is the running away of

for the South street, at rate of speed
that would have astonished "Dexter."
After jumping two or three picket fences
they brought up near the store of French

damage.
Second, Geo H. Cole, proprietor of the
Ingrsham House, and his wife, were
riding in the vicinity of "Popple Dun

over a water bar some portion of the bag

To lift the glory of Aladdin's court,

She lifts her voice, and in her pleading call

seeming grief. Such friendship is rarely
surpassed.

an appeal to farmers to send them, for the
use of the forty thousand persons now de-
pendent on the public kindness for sub
sistence, such articles as may be useful in
keeping off scorbutic and other diseases,
as the people must have them in order to
escape sickness. These are beans, pota-
toes and onions. The committee say they
are informed that many farmers would be
glad to contribute these articles, and they
ask all persons who can ship beans, on
ions or potatoes to them to do SO. By a
little proper attention car loads can be
made up at different places for shipm emit.
The society also want straw beds of
CT the usual size for two persons, and
friends in the country are requested to
furnish as many as they can. The tick
ing should be of strong material to be
