Tho Row. DIR. B.. welI-hnown
clergyman, gives an amusing history Of
his first marriage fee. He was settled
over country parish, and had his
study at his boarding-house. One
evening young man and woman,
genuine specimens OF the rustic lover,
called at the house and asked him TO
marry them.

When the Marquis de Lafayette and
several officers quilted the French
army, then in insunection, after the
famous 10th OF August, they were
seized by the King Of Prussia. Then
they were transferred 10 the custody
of Austria, and for long time were
confined In the caatle OF 0lmuts. They
were kept in solitary confinement, but
were In hearing Of each other when
standing at the windows Of their
chambers.
To improve this advantage they
thought Of the following plan; There
are, or were at that time, in Paris,
certain tunes called airs OF the Point
Neuf--popular ballads that were sung
on street corners and in other public
places, The words belonging to these
airs were 80 well known that 10 strike
up few of the notes was 10 recall to
memory the words that accompanied
them.
The captives OF olmutz gradually
composed for themselves a vocal vocab-
ulary by whistlipg these notes at their
windows; and this vocabulary, after a
short time, became 30 complete that
two or three notes from each tune
formed an alphabet, aud gave the men
a means of intercourse.
In this way they communicated to
one another news concerning their
families, the progress Of the war, and
many other things; and when, by rare
good fortune, one of them had pro-
cured a gazette, he whistled its entire
contents TO his partners in suffering
and confinement.
The commander of the fortress was
constantly informed of these unac-
countable concerts. He listened; he
set spies; but as the whole was u
language Of convention, the most
practised musician would have failed
to detect the meaning Of the notes.
Whistling was prohibited, but in
vain, and at length the Austrian, tired
Of conjecture, interposed no further to
prevent what he could not compre-
heud.
