which there are two sisters also in the
prime Of maidcnhood; beautiful, fascin-
ajjnG and attractive These young peo-
PIE being near neighbors, and coming
i'm contact With c&rn other often, almost
naturally it would seem, fell in love with
zach other, the eldest brother with one
of the sisters and the younger
with the other. All went smoothly for
q time, and these young re5ple enoved
Themselves and dreamed bright dreams
al the future, and no doubt in imagin
tien constructed fairy palaces of love,
and gardens, ike Paradise, which
should be only filled with beautiful
flowers and fruits Of happiness and nm
alleged enjoyment. Then, as u matter
of course, the question of marrying

parents Of tine Young ladies' for approval.
Ihe eldest brother had no difficulty in
obtaining their consent to his marrying
the young lady, and the wedding day
was fixed upon Then the young broth
er went to the parents and made known
hlS attachment for the other sister and

whom he thought was the right
one, bnt she was not Unconscious Of
this however, lie took her 10 the place
where the marriage ceremony was to be
performed before he found out that he
was with the wrong girl Most wonder
fill to relate, ne thought that after he
had gone To all this trouble he would get
married any way, so he asked her if she
would have him, and she in order to
carry out the joke, said she would, and
they were married then and there. 1t
appears that she had overheard him
making arrangements to elope with her
sister, and knowing the place of meeting
determined 10 20 there Hhea Of her and
thus fool the young man, for whom she
entertained a.secret liking, although she
was engaged to be married to his broth
