ROMANCE OF A WEDDING.

story OF the Marriage of Sir Walter
Scott's Eldest Son.
A newly discovered letter by Sir Wal
ter Scott. written in 1925. recalls the
story of the marriage of his eldest son,
Walter. a lieutenant of hu~ "a
that year to Miss Jane
fish heiress. In u lette
that long has been well known scot
said OF the engagement: Though her
fortune be considerable, the favors OF
the public will enable me to make such
settlements as her friends think very
adequate. The only impeachment has
been the poor mother, a highland LADY,
of great worth and integrity. who
could not brook parting with the sole
object of her care and attention. to
resign her TO the vicissitudes of q mill
itary life, while 1 necessarily refused
to let my son sink into a fox hunting
muir fowl shooting squire. She has
at last been obliged TO acquiesce rath-
er than consent her friends and coun-
selors being clear sighted enough TO
see that her daughters happiness could
scarce be promoted by compelling the
girl to break off u mutual attachment
and match with Il young lieutenant
OF hussars, sure of having a troop very
soon, with good estate In reversiou
ana as handsome fellow MS ever put
his foot in stirrup. So they succeed
ed in bringing matters to a hearing"
In the letter lately published for the
hrst time and written to his intimate
friend, James Ballantyne, Scott gives
his frank opinion Of his sons mother
in-law after this fashion: "T cannot
command my mind at this moment to
correct proofs. Our old lady has given
US so much trouble that it is very vex-
atious. But 1t availeth nothing. the
other friends having taken the whole
into their own management and the
settlements being now drawing. 1
trust the good dame will come to and
make virtue of necessity, but her
obstinacy cannot affect the event.
though it gives the poor innocent girl
very much pain. Never saw such n
hyena in all my life, n perfect allegory
on the banks of the Nile, and all for
nonsense of the first water
This Objectionable person improved
on better acquaintance, however. Soon
after the marriage Scott wrote to his
son Charles, Yesterday Mrs. Jobson
gave us very handsome dinner and
party in the evening" A month or
two later he wrote to his darling"
daughter-in-law, then in Dublin: LET
me know, my love, what can fetch
Tor you from Scotland. Mrs. Jobson
promises me n parcel She had the
goodness TO dine with me in my
widowed state the day before yester-
day and is in high health and spirits.
l have the vanity to think myself n
great favorite. Chicago News.
