Gretna Green's Romance.

Gretna Green's Romance.
Grctna Green was said to be
killed by the act Of 1856, aid as
place where clopements were le-
ga!ized no doubt its gIories have
departed. The legality of Scotch
marriages, however, survives. Any
person residing in Scotland three
weeks can get married after tue
Informal Scotch manner, and the
marriage will hold good. In fact,
clopements might still be conduct
ed in elrcuitGs fashion. The
gentleman could 90 first, reside at
Gretna Green for three weeks,
then be joined by bis bride, and
marry ler on the spot. Other
things, however, have put an end
TO this form Of romantic marriage.
In The days Of posting the clipping
lovers had every advantage. The
young gentlemen could arrange
before hand for relays Of horses;
the pursuing sire could not do so,
not knowing the date of the pre-
parations for flight. Then it was
SAID that the inn keepers and post
boys always favored the fugilives.
ilf the fathers generally overlook
the runaways, IL would have been
been bad for trade; therefore the
old gentleman did not always Sc
cure the freshest or best stceds,
and it was surprising how often
his post boys found a Inch. pin
loose. Again and again was the
rattle of the pursuer's coach heard
when the knot was securely tied,
but not until then. Nowadays
there are no coaches, but express
trains and the telegraph wires
could anticipate the lovers, and
possibly secure delay, if not de-
tention. Also marriages in Eng
land have been made so easy that
there are Gretna Greens at your
very doors. Three weeks notice
to a registrar and q quarter of an
hours absences from home will |
bring about g marriage without
anyone being the wiser-a above
sall, not the man and woman who |
ire we'd. In London and large

O., any time within the next few

you would see a sharp eyed, white
headed old gentleman who would
either be poring over some abstruse

used in fabricating some piece of
ornamental iron work. That old
gentleman is L. B. Davies, who

the man who invented the COW
