the elopement, on Teusday morning,
of the bride of week with an old ad,

bride than he was seen to carry gres,

thereby giving the lie to the some
times accepted belief THAT two souls
with but single thought and two
hearts that beat as one" can for any
length OF time flourish like the green
bay tree in summer time on love

seemed happy and joyous. basking in
the sunshine of her sweet smiles

possession of such a loving cSmpan-

Soon he was plunged into the widest
grief and modification. His wife that
had parted from him an hour ago
with all the manifestations of the
deepest affection for him, had proven
false. He was informed that when
the hack reached Red Lion, little
village midway between Lebanon
and Franklin, q email, smooth faced,
