The material, which will gradually unfold itself in the following narrative, com- bined with the requisite machinery and inter- woven with the fictitious characters necessary to the artistic development of the plot, would complete a profoundly interesting, if not an absolute thrilling romance. Our sketch, how- ever, is an unfivished daguerreotype of facts which recently transpired in one of the most attractive inland cities of the “dark and bloody ground,” and situated not a hundred miles from ‘*/a Belle Riviere’? We submit | the skeleton, leaving the elaboration and finishing touches to be woven into dramatic | texture, to artists enjoying more time and | possessing more skill and imagination than we can command A lady, youthful, lovely, accomplished, and the daughter of a distinguished Kentuckian, enjoying we eos competence, imperiously commanded the admiration of the gallants of the vicinage, and attracted zealous suitors | from abroad. She was a belle of almost un- | Tivailed charms, and received numerous de- clarations of attachment, many of them ar- | dent and sincere. Like most queenly dawsels | Piness, mutually congratulating themselves upon the approach of the moment that would fine them united to tho object of adoration. Esch was unconscious of the other’s claimr, and the effect, when the dread fact burst upea them was tremendous. It was too overwhelm- ing for the young minister. With a heart rending gasp he struggled for a moment and fell headlong and heart-stricken to the floor It was that appalling sound, mingled with the shrieks of the bridesmaids, which so startled the guests in the midst of their joyous antici- pations and joyous hilarity. The spectacle presented to the rushing and terrified throng of beautiful wome: gentlemen was terrifying. The t a the fallen groom; the calm and unmoved bride ; the agitated pees searching her wit! glaring eyes and livid features ; the paralysed mother; the astonished and humbled father; the kneeling forms of lovely and sympathetic women ; end the grave and ominous senes of their attendant groom smen, was oue perhaps never before witnessed on a nuptia’ night After a while the ministrations of kind nurses began to produce reaction in the pros- trated system of the fallen groom. Si of returning animation became visible. The ac- tors and witnesses of the tragic scene regained composure. The father’s self- ion re- turned Advanci: to this tiful but heartless author of the painful drama, he sternly co! nded her instant choice between the contesting suitors. The mother, still true to her partial ties advocated her favorite. The father maintained neutrality, but repeat {enjoying fortunate positions in the social | world, she was an apt mistress of coquetry, and wielded her resistless coeptre unmerciful- ly upon all who ventured within the charmed radii of her matchless fascinations. She reigned ruthlessly during a long and brilliant career, and her reputation for come- liness and social skill neither waned with tire lapse of time or her cruel exercise of power, | but seemed to be promoted without apparent- ly approaching culmination, and splendidly illustrated the remorseless tyranny of eapri- cious passionless beauty, Fatigued at last, and sated with the common-place triumphs of erdinary coquetry, she introduced, by way of episode, the expedient of engageients to marry. Not satisfied, however, with the usual termination of happy courtship, she be- trothed herself to two lovers, whom she adroit- ; ly managed to keep profoundly ignorant of | their mutual pretensions and expectations. One suitor was a talented young minister, of fair possessions. The other a gentleman of “elegant leisure,’’ and lord of many broad acrés Both were tilting for the whimsizal beauty, each conscious of the other's devo- tion, but, as we have said, mutually unaware of their mutual success. The young minister was favored by the damsel’s father, and was accepted by him for the future son-in-law. Acquainted with the mother’s hostility to himself, and conscious of her preference for | his rival, as well as conceiving the father’s | consent adequate for the accomplishment of | his purpose, and trusting to time and circum- | stances to mitigate her prejudices. the young minister forbore application to her! | His rival, meantime, had been accepted by j the mother—who, like himself, was ignorant | of the young minister's successful negotia- | tions—and deeming himself sufficiently justi fied to proceed, and appreciating the father’s objection to himself, he, on the other hand, as hie rival had refrained from submitting his petition to the mother, neglected his obliga- tioas to the father. The urttul complications of the daughter were, thus far, attended with happiest success, and it is presumable she hugely enjoyed the extraordinary and per plexing contretemps. The rivals now became importunate, and solicited the speedy consummation of the con | templated alliance. Their betrothed, how- j ever, capriciously vexed and tantalized them to her heart’s content, deluding them with al- ternate hopes and promises, like Macheath’s , “asides to his two sweathearts,’’ but finally | concurred with their ardent petitions, and ap- | pointed the same day, hour, and place, fur | the solemnization of the triangular bridal Arrangements were subsequently made that added richer space to the culminating drama. The minister and his betrothed agreed to cel ebrate their nuptials quietly, a tew of their mutual friends only being advised. On the | other hand ostentatious preparations were made for a magnificent display. Cards were | dispatched far and near by cur heroine and the mother’s choice, and ali the gallantry and beauty of the country were informed of the approach of the bridal period The absence | of the minister, meantime, facilitated opera- | ticns, and gossipping rumor, strange to say, failed for ouce to mar the execution of a bril- liant desigu. How the parents remained in ignorance in the midst of such active prepa- rations bas not been developed, but those fa- miliar with the inventive wit of sprightly woman will readily imagine the keen diplo- macy of our heroine, who so successfully man- aged her double intrigue into the crisis of eon- summation. Suffice it, that at the denoument the parents were the most completely con- founded of all. The nuptial eve rolled round. Guests as- sembled in glittering concourse, exuberant in joyous anticipations, and splendidly decora- ted The most brilliant vivacity and gayest confusion prevailed. The officiating minister appeared, and there were bright indications of the fullest realization of all happy antici- pations. Moments were fritted in pleasant in- terchange of compliments. Beautiful women vivaciously responded to happy devoirs of gal- lant gentlemen, and the buz and musical hum of pleasant voices agreeably confused the senses, till the minute hand of the parlor clock pointed the hour. Expectation now commanded silence. Curiosity on tip-toe sus- pended merriment, and only suppressed mur- murs were heard in intervals of anticipation The sonorous bell sounded the hour, and ex- pectation became intense. Scarcely had the last echo of the clanging clock died away in silence, when every cheek paled, and every pulsation of hearts euspended A heavy sound as of a falling human body, sunken with fearful suddenvess to the floor, aud ac- companied by wild shrieks of terror, resound- ing from an adjoining room. Arush as of hurrying feet, and a mingled echo of fearful exclamations, terrified every heart, a moment before so joyous. There wes instinctive push forward ; the flimsy barrier intercepting the progress of the hastening throng gave way, and a spectacle was presented beggaring de- scription. . A frightened group of beautiful women, ale as the snowy robes of the bride, cowered in dismay over the fallen form of a stricken man, dressed as for a nuptial night, deathiy pallid, and lying apparently lifeless in the centre of the floor. Several gentlemen were chafing the temples of the falien man, while a fair woman, agitated, but self-poscessed, kneeling at his side, with his head in her lap, adminietered powerful restoratives. The bride, arrayed in all her transcendent lovelines:, stood on one side, the lustre of her brilliant countenance alternately deepening to carna- tion, and paling to fleecy whiteness, while in all other respects she seemed calm and un- moved as an idle spectatress of a dramatic scene. Opposite her stood a gentleman dressed like the fallen man, trembling and fearfully agi- tated, alternately scanning the beautiful but ——— vision, before him, and the lifeless ‘orm at her feet. Outside the circle and half- hidden from view, sunken into the deep em- brace of an arm chair, with her face buried in the folds of her garments, reclined the half- paralyzed mother of the bride, biees aud immovable asa statue. Near her, and trying to soothe her, stood the dismayed father as- tounded and overcome by the apparent calamn ity that had befallen his house. At the mo- , @ eplendid article fo | W°Pt appointed for the nuptials, two bride- rooms claimed the hand of the bride! E.ca | Bad come with glowing anticipations of hap- | along with the sma: | Napoleon, emperor of the French | is now changed to thatof Mrs. Trelawney, and | ber companion, who is said to be allied to a | tiful girl, who accompanied him to | etat. edhiscommands The daughter, standing iu awe of her father, plead fora moment's re- flection. It was granted, but a flying messen- ger was immediatel, detpatchod for the of- | ficiating minister, who, it was now discovered, had escaped in the confusion, unperceived, and had — » thoughtful and sorrowfal toward his home. After much persuasion he returned, and the company, whore early gaiety now g: place to sadness and silence, again repaired to the | parlors to await the final development of the closing act. The broad doors were now flun, open. A stream of brilliant light, snoveoded by a flood of beauty, irradiated the scene. The bridal train swept in. The nuptial cere- mony bound indissolubly the heartless but magnificent bride tothe devoted but suffering young minister, who at the last moment she had chosen. Reader, you will imegine the decision of the mother’s favorite is agony, if he loved her truly, must have been intense, yet withal it must have been mingled with emotions of gratification in the consciousness of having escaped the misfortune of marri with a passionless and marble hearted flirt. You will likewise judge if the deep affection of the young minister received its just deserts. We will not decide for you. Our sketch is a true narrative and its moral is profound.

He had been accus- tomed to attend meeting in school-houses and private dwellings, where each one »@ pro- priated to himeelf the first seat he found un- occupied He selected there a convenient slip, and awaited patiently the assembling of the congregation. The services commenced. Presently the music of a full-toned organ burst upon his astonished ear; he hed never heard one before. At the sam e the gen- tleman who owned the slip came up the aj with a lady hanging upon hisarm Ashe ap- proached the door of the slip,fhe motioned the countryman to come out, in order to give place to the lady. This movement the coun- tryman did not understand; and from the situation of the gentleman and lady, ass. ciated as it waz in bis mind with the music he immediately concluded that a cotillon, or French contra dance, was intended. Rising partly from his seat, he said to the gentle- man, who was still beckoning to him: “Excuse me, sir—excuse me, if you please—J don’: dune!” ANECDOSB OF T uate Kine or Bavania The ex-King Louis of Bavaria, who recently attained his seventieth year, wasa few days ago waited on at his chateau at Ludwigshebe, in the Palatinate, by a deputation from Stras- bourg, in which place he was born, who paid their respects to him on this occasion. e King received them most kindly, promised to visit their city, and related to them a curious circumstance At the time of his birth in August, 1786, his father, who was then only Prince des Deux Ponts, commanded the Alsace regiment in the service of France, which was in the garrison at Strasbourg. A few days after the birth of his child, he was astonished to see that all his grenadiers had cut off their beards and mustaches On inquiring why they had done so, one of the men stepped for- ward and said that they had determined to beg his acceptance of a velvet nrattress for the newly born prince, and that they had stuffed it with their beards and mustaches. “T have the mattress still,’’ said the king, “and I will show it to you!’’ The mattress was produced, and the King added: “I do not think that there is in the world a bed that = be called more strictly military than that!’’ RatrLesnake —-Cure For tHe Birs.— Having heard that rattlesnakes and other ven- omous reptiles exist in numbers in this coun- try, and that several persons have been bitten by them, I am induced tomake known a very simple cure.
