WEDDING BELLS.

A New York correspondent of the Boston
Times gets off the following clever burlcsque:
Maria Aimee, the renowned opera bouffe singer,
has long been the wife OF William G. Prime,
editor Of the New York Observer. They are said
to be extremely happy, in consequence, no
doubt; Of their sympathy on ethical ,;: and theo
her evangelical iege, having failed as yet to con-
uuer all the Puritanic prejudioes Of her early
training and present profession. She il expand
ing, however, under marital influences, and will
be able in time to look upon the world in the
grand spirit OF mingled charity and Indifferent
ism that has always marked the columns of the
Observer.
.sWho has imagined that Clara Louise Kellogg
and william Cullen Bryant have, for several
years, been united in the holy bonds of wedlock
The manner in which he Glanced to fall in love
with her is ut once curious and romantic. Clara
Louise, it seems, had been engaged by the
Eoening Post to write its articles on free trade.
BRYANT read them for some time with the deepest
interest, not knowing their authorship. Finally
he CHANGED upon one so suffused with sentiment,
tenderness and pathos that the old gentleman's
heart completely melted; he burst into pas
sionate tempest of tears He wept like an emo
tional girl Of seventeen, and refused to dam the
torrent of his briny sorrow unless he could be
comforted BY the name OF the author OF that
most touching article.
Learning that it was Clara Louise, ne 'mme-
diately dashed through the streets, hatless and
coatless, to the hotel where she was staying,
sought her presence without announcement, and
cast himself at her feet. He then exclaimed in
choking accents: Fascinating free-trader, have
pity on q l0ve-lorn youth, who lives only in your
presence she lifted the gushing boy to his
feet, and they fell sobbng into each others arms.
| The next day they were married by the Rev. DIR.
Mark Twain and since that golden moment they
have enjoyed felicity unknown to CLAIMS at the
| highest tide. Bryant has recently joined the
Kellogg Opera troupe, and will accompany it as
basso profundo in its next provincial tour.

Some idea Of the nuptial journey may be formed
