Curious C0urtshIps in 'Pennsylvania a
Hundred Years Ago.
From the Commercial Advertiser
One Of the most curious cases of courtship re-
corded happened about the close OF the seven.
teenth century. The daughter of Berkshire
baronet who disdained the numerous lovers
who attempted to win her affections. finally fell
in love with poor attorney, whom she met him
for the first time at wedding In Reading. She
sent him challenge, alleging that he must give
satisfaction for injuries received at his hands.
She appeared masked, and gave him the choice
of either fighting or marrying her. His second,
who was also unaware of the woman's IDENTITY
or the cause Of her strange conduct, advised his
principal to marry her. After the ceremony.
during which she still wore the mask, they
drove to her rich home, and after withdrawing
q few moments she returned, and at once capti-
waited her husband by her beauty and tasteful
dress. This man. BENJAMIN Child, was after
ward made high sheriff of the town.
1.-The History of Woman" an English work
published In ITO, details various methods of
courtship then published In some Of the Euro
pean colonies of America. 1t has the curious
statement, which beaux aud bellies will find it
difficult to believe: "When two PENNSYLVANIA
lovers meet with any remarkable opposition
from their friends they 20 Off together on
horseback. the lady riding before, and the gen
tleman behind her. In this situation they pre-
sent themselves before q Magistrate, to whom
she declares that she has run away with her
lover, and has brought him there to be married.
SO solemn an ayowel the magistrate is not at
liberty to reject, and they are married accord
ingly."

The laugh runs loud
Beneath the sad rebuking moon,

May shake or swerve ere morrow's noon.
Not lightly fall

The regal right

Is ours through costlier sacrifice
Our hearts grow cold,
We lightly hold
A right which brave men died to gain;
The stake, the chord,
The axe, the sword
Grim nurses at its birth OF pain.
Look from the sky
Like Gods great eye,
Thou solemn moon, with searching beam,
