A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
The Love OF Two Brothers and Two
How It Resuited.

The Falmouth Independent
Ina certain part OF our county there
lived family in which there we're two
brothers Just entering upon the prime oil
youthful manhood; q short distance from
them in fact, the same neighborhood-
there lives another family, in which there
are TWO sisters, also in the prime OF woman
hood. beautiful, fascinating and at
trsctiye, These young people being
near neighbOrs, and coming in contact
with each other often, almost naturally, It
would seem, fell in love with each other,
the elder brother with one Of the sisters
and the Younger with the other. All went
smoothly for time, and these young PEG.
ME epiOyed themselves and dreamed
bright dreams of the future, and no doubt
in imagination constructed larry palaces OF
love, and gardens like Paradise, which
should be only filled with beautiful How,
ers and fruits OF happiness and unailOyed
enjoy ment.
Then. as matter of course the question
of marrying arose, which must be referred
To the parents of the young ladies Tor ap'
prOyal. The eldest brother had no DIM
cutty in obtaining their consent TO his
marrying the young lady and the wedding
day was fixed upon. Then the young
brother went 10 the parents and made
known his attachment for the other sister
ana their mutudl ueSHS oP' :,
travel the road OF life together:
But the old folks were decidedly
opposed to having more than one
OF their girls marry into that taml'
w." and plainly informed him that II he
wanted a wife he must go elsewhere to
get her, intimating that he should deSlSt
paving future attention 10 the young LADY
m question. But the young man was de-
tel aimed that if his brother married one
- Il 10 yynnlI M the other NJ
he went to the young lady OF his love
and told her the circumstances OF The stu
alton, and desired her, if she loved him,
10 prove her love by running of with him.
TO this she agreed and the night was liked
upon when they should carry out the mn
tual agreement.
But now comes the strangest part OF the
story. The two young ladies resemhled
each other very much in looks etc, aud
by some strange freak when the night OF
eiopement came and the young man went
10 the appointed place Of meeting, he found
a woman there whom he thought WAS the
right one, but she was not. Uncon-
scIous OF this, however, he took her to the
place where the marriage was to be per-
formed before he found out that he
was with the wrong girl. Most wonderful
TO relate he thought that after he had
gone 20 all this trouble he would get mar.
rleu any way NJ TIC aSNeu he' IL oHo "Ou'u
have him. and she, in order 10 carry out
the ioke, said she would, and they were
married then and there. IL appears that
| she had overheard him milking arrange
ueptg to eiOpe with her sister, and
| knowing the place Of meeting determined
| to go there ahead of her AMI thus fool the
voung man, for whom she entertained a
| secret liking, although she was engaged
| 10 be married to his brother. Our inform
| ant also states that after they hal lived to-
! getber for some time the elder brother,
| determining to make the best OF the situa'
| ton, took unto himself the other sister.
