A CURIOUS coURTsHIP.

~ A somewhat interesting marriag
will coon take place 10 the city
The bride is blind, bat with tina
blindness that does not impair the
beauty of the eyes; the groom i
deaf and dumb, but has withal I
handsome and intelligent face.
They can be seen walking every
evening in the suburbs, the young
man carefully guiding her as she
hangs upon bis arm and looks az
brightly into his face with her sight,
less beautiful eyes.
The two are next door neighborl
on one OF the smallest streets of the
city. A gentleman who lives near
and has observed the courtship from
its inception two months ago, gives
some interesting incidents of it's be-
ginning and progress.
The young lady is extremely in
dustrious and used to do fancy work,
to which she had been trained, at an
open window overlooking the mute 8
piazza. She had a most curious
taste, considering her infrmity, for
the brightest colors, aud the quick
eye Of the mute was attracted aud
delighted.
He did not know at first, and in,
deed no one in the neighborbood
did, that the young lady was blind,
and the gentleman who watched
them says the unfortunate man seem>
ed terribly cast down when the ex-
pressive demonstrations of his pleas
ure were met day after day with
blank stares, or were almost ignored
after graceful listening pose or so,
the reason for which he was uncon>
scious. But finally he found out in
some way that she was blind, and
one evening he crossed over and
knocked at the door. What occur.
red inside the observer cannot say,
out after this the visits were regular,
and the young man nearly always
took bouquet from bis garden, in
which he took especial delighs 10
cultivating flowers. 10 q week or
so the walks began and are now al
most daily, and is generally under
stood, that they are to be married
early in the Fall, the families of both |
giving their full consent.
One evening lady who is famil~
lar with these facts met the couple
on one of their walks near the city. !
She addressed the man, making
some inquiry as to a point of which |
she pretended to be in search. The |
young lady answered as though the
question had been put directly to
her. The lady desired the place to
be pointed out. The blind gui urn.
ed and quickly spelt on her fingers,
and the young man pointed to tie
place desired. Thus does the e&ad |
