Il DELUDED BRIDE.

A Wedding Spoiled by the non-Appear-
Eleventh Hour.
There was to have been a wedding cere-
mony up on Bedford street yesterday
morning, but like the good man IN the
proverb the feast vas spread and ths
guests were hidden but as the main guy
failed to make his, appearance and
at the eleventh hour the wedding was de-
near the pillow works, and she Is young and
pretty and of a highly respectable family.
The bridegroom resides on Mendoza
street, and he, too, boasts of frst-class con-
nections, albeit he has the reputation
among the boys Of being gay and giddy
masher.
For the sake OF convenience it was de-
cided that the ceremony should take place
at the residence OF lady friend OF the
bride, whose home is on Bedford street.
The courtshIp had been conducted with the
usual romance and ardor, and up to the
hour set for the ceremony all seemed to go
as merry as marriage bell.
At the appointed hour the bride appeared
blushing and pretty, and the guests were
assembled to witness and bless the bans.
But the bridegroom was want
Ing end a long, weary
and futtering suspense ensaed.
An hour passed away, and then lapsed into
two or three, when sone one suggested
that something must be the matter with
the groom. Then messenger was sent
out TO bring him in, but the answer came
that he could not be found. This was
mere than the bridr could stand, and she
retired from the rooE in tears, and the
guests dispersed. At last accounts the
groom was still missing.
