! Mr.. Marcy quite an ent, tbat q
sl'oush the day was delightful, me youn
lawyer had not been seen in his accustome
place On the vsFands Of bi Office, On max
ngprpper inquiry She learned that he ha'
not been there aA that day. This arowe'
her curiosity, and excited her alPicions
leading her to make further inquiry, an,
she was informed that he had accompanie,
Miss Dubois to Albany. Without furhe
consideration, she believed that an elope
ment had taken place, and Immediately in
formed the faculty that young Marcy ane
Miss Dubois had fed to Albany for tn
purpose of being clandestinely married
This aroused them to the highest pitch o
excitement. The rumor ran like wild-6re
through the institution, reaching the city
in short space of time. There was .
strange "hurryins to and fro" in the aemi.
nary-consternation was everywhere min.
gled with the silent mirth which the ,a,ffai,
had created among many of the young
ladies who really enjoyed the scene. Cupid
had slyly found lodgment within those
walls, dedicated to science and study,
though all thought the little winged eod
was sternly forbidden thereto many
known only in the beautiful dreams of
girlhood. Yet he had actually been So
journer in that temple of science; one ofits
fairest inmates had yielded to his witchery
had fled to his enchanted bowers. Fear
ing that the wrath and influence Of the
young fady's father and her other friends
would be turned against the institution, and
dreading the odium which an elopement
would bring upon it, an immediate pursuit
was decided upon. The Sheriff of the
county, with posse comitatus, was sent
in pursuit and proceeded with hot haste to
Albany. Learning that the lady was a.
'ne Of the principal hotels in the citv, he
'ushed thither eager to forbid the bans be.
ore it was too late. Sans ceremony he
orced his way into the ladies' par,or
Mss Dubois was there enjoying herself
nth her friends, but, to the astonishment
+ the Sheriff, young Marcy was not pres
mt. The officer had entered the room
Eernly determined on breaking the chains
hat love had forged with the strong arm
the law. He had anticipated tears,
fle' and shrieks from the lady, mingled
lth deep curses from the lover. But no
Fdent lover was there-no priest about to
the solemn but happy union {
)uld be seen.
NOT AN ELopEs1ENT, AFTER ALL.
The lady and her friends, taken by SIR. e
Use at the sudden entrance. of the Sheriff
I'd his assistants, started to their foot IN
