A joyous party assembled recently

SONS, for She was about to be united
in the bonds of wedlocll to a jeweler
80 years Of age, who had come for
ward as 4 sutton for her hand few
months ago. She had seen nineteen
shop, where her pretty face ald smart
manners had attracted the notice and
won the heart of the bridegroom-elect.
1t was . o'clock, and all the company
were gathered ut her parents abode
save the jeweler, So by way of killing
the time, Wine was brought out, and
tongues waggcd fast until an hour had
gone by, when some one exclaimed
that they must Start if they would be
welded to-day. A council was held,
and messenger was dispatched in hot
haste to the dwelling of the BRIDE
groom-elcct, with pressing summons
to come at once. Instead of the jew
cler, however. he saw the concierge,
who informed him that her tenant had
taken his departure early in the morn
ing, leaving a note which he said
would be sure to be called for. The
messenger hurried back with the letter,
Which was opened with trembling
hands by the father Of the young wo-
man in the white dress and orange
blossoms. Then dolcful scene fol-
lowed. In the missive the jcwcler an
nounced that after thinking the matter
we'll over, he had come to the conclrl-
sion that he was not inclined for matri-
mony, and he added that when the
M:ssive was received he would be well
on his way to Switzerland, where he
meant to stay for some time.
AT first it was thought that this
might be n grim jest, and that the
jeweler would make his appearance,
with Il laugh at the trick he had play
ed; but soon this sanguine theory had
to be abandoned. Then there was
wailing, mingled with dcnunciations Of
the cratic jeweler. The bride went

winding up with formal complaint
against the iewelcr. Much to his dis
gust the police commissary informed
him of his regret that he could take
no steps in the matter. and then, by
way of consolation. the official dilated
on the sad life which the young woman
would have been certain to lead with
such volatile husband, concluding
with the expression of the opinion that
