Ebening Star. VOL. X. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1857. A WEDDING AT NUTMEGVILLE. [From the New York Commercial Advertiser ] I had got a good deal fatigued with the sea- son's business, and one evening while I was stretching my limbs on the sofa, my wife says to me, “ Mr. Lovell, why don’t you take a short turn up at Nutmegyville, and recruit yourself a little? “ Happiest of thoughts.”’ I replied, “‘ we'll just pack the trunks to-night, and off to-mor- Tow morning bythe first train.” “Well no, husband, I can’t myself, for there’s’’—and then followed a dozen reasons, and not one of them the correct one, why Mrs. Lovell felt that she could not accompany me. The fact is, the present expansion in the mat- ter of feminine costume has not a more zealous supporter through the entire queendom of pet- ticoatery than Mrs. Lovell, and the hoops she wears, (te say nothing of a hogshead or a tierce) are large enough to encircle a cistern of the capacity of some two or three hundred gallons. Now Nutmegville is a quiet, unpretending sort of a place, and uncle poate Lovell and his wife are old fashioned plodding people. and moreover, the pews of the Natmegville church are narrow and contracted. They were built some forty years ago, when our female country cvusins never thought of putting over six yards of calico in a dress: and so it ean be seen that Nutmegville, and uncle Lemuel’s farm-house, and the Nutmegville church are not the sort of places at all in which to display a crinoline | of extraordinary circumference to any advan- | tage. Asa nataral consequenge of all this. I made my track to Nutmegyville this time, in the society of myself simply considered; rather than in that associate condition of dual unity which constitutes man and wife. I suppose the change of atmosphere must have been the cause of it, but for several days I felt dull and heavy, and just lounged about the piagza, and chatted with Mrs. Milly Lovell, the wife of un- cle Lemuet’s son Aleck: Her early days were spent in the metropolis. but sho has a hearty appreciation of the striking and more comie characteristics of rustic life, and bad a budget of news relating to the Nutmegville people, as long as the legs of a Shanghai rvoster. Among other wondrous events, Sally Ann Lynes had gone and got married, and it is of her wedding, and of matters pertaining thereto, that this paper will exclusively treat. Mrs. Truxton, who comes to as aunt Jemina’s help on washing days, got talking about it with aunt Jemima, and worked herself up to a con- siderable degree of sds. Mr. Paddleford, the young man who married Sally Ann Lynes, was a school teacher, (that’# the term at Nutmegville,) and as he always wore gloves out of doors, and kept his cvat on when be took dinner even in hot weather, peo- ple somehow got the idea that he was a sight too smart for such a girl as Sally Ann Lynes. Mrs. Truxton, besides doing the washing for a number of families, and making shrouds on funeral oceaSions, was a great stickier for equal marriages: and observed that ‘it was onac- countable to her that such a proper niee young man as Mr. Paddelford pre be pervailed on to go and marry sech a gal as that Sally Ano Lynes."’ * But yet,”’ she continued, as though she had reflected further op the subject, “ I can tell you how it’s ail been brought about; they’ ve come around that young man, they’ve come around him, oh, don’t [know that old Mrs. Lynes,”’ (she meant Sally Ann’s mother,) “she’s cunning as a shark.” Aunt Jemima told Mrs. Truxton that “she thought that 1t was just as well to let people manage such matters to suit themselves, and fur those who were not particularly interested to make up their minds to be satistied.*’ “ Ah, yea, that’s it, Miss Lovell, if the young folks was only allowed to manage it themselves, but there's thatold Miss Lyues, Lexspect she’s the one that’s managed this match. Un. it takes a cunnin old critter like her to cireumvent such an extraordinary young man as Mr. Paddelford At this, Aunt Jemima’s help, Betsy Gliddons _ night — “You are all out of the way there, Miss Truxton. for Sally Ann's mother had gone down to Wethersturd, to see her folks vn @ long visit, and she never set her eyes on Mr. Paddelford, till she got home and heered from Sally Ann sown lips, that she was en- gaged to be married to him.”’ ~ Why, gracious alive, Betsey Gliddons, how You talk; what on airth then could have pos- sessed the man to marry her.”’ “ Weil, I'll tell you, Miss Truxton, I expect that when Mr. Padd 1 come to see what a nice gal Sally Ann was. love set in, and he couldn't live without her “ Why neow Betacy that love ralely set in ~ [haint the least doubt about it,” responded the goud-bearted Betsey, at which Mrs. Trux- ton took a pinch of Scotch snuff from the rusty tin box, cesumed her washing, and looked as though after this she wouldn’t be astonished at the conflagration of the world by a comet, or at anything else. “* But Cousin Lionel! perhaps you would like to hear some of the particulars of the wedding.” inquired Mrs. Milly Lovell. “ Nothing would please me better,’’ I re- plied ~ Well, wo all bad an invitation, and as your u aud aunty bardly felt young enough to Lonor it, your cousin Aleck and [ thought we would go. You know Lionel, that while Sally Aun is a most exvellent girl, aud ber father is aman of some means, they are stll a very plain family; plainer indeed by several degrees than the avorage of us Nutmegvillagers. When we got there, we fuund that old Mrs. Lynes—from some confased aod bewildered notion that weddings and funerals were of the same order, had separated the sexes: so that Aleck w: sent to the back room, aud I was dirceted to the once in front. Mere, about twen- ty women 4at as upright as stakes. and nearly as silent; and as we beard vo sounds from the back room, we concluded that the “lords of creation” there assembled were as much im- pressed with the sulemuity of the oceasion as wewere. Presently we doll Mrs. Parsells. wut in the entry, whispering to Mrs. Lynes on the absurdity of her having divided the men and women { want no way.’’ she said “Why, inquired Mra. Lynes, in w sup- pressed tone, but loud enough to be beard, “did'nt Mr Sykes folks have the men and women apart wheu they buried the old man.’’ “Yes, yes, you goose; but wasn’t that a fu- neral’” * La sakes alive.”’ said Mrs. Lynes, now fally aware of ber error. ** 40 it was, and somehow { did think of the difference! Well, now, Mre. Parselis, do you go into the reom and wix them up again, fer [ couldn't do it myself if it was to eave our beat cow.” At this Mrs. Parsells came in and unsorted the assortment as it then stood, and sorted us over afresh as well as she could. There was at length, in each room, about an equal distribu- tion of the sexes. The maneuver served to oil the wheels of conversation a very little, for every now and then some one of the company more courageous than the rest would venture | of & questivn or remark, bat his temerity | drawing all eyes on him, he would soon shrin' within his shell with the self-complacent thought bar he had at least done his part to sustain the tal The Lyneses could have illuminated their houses with fifty sperm candles, so far as the cost was conceraed, but when the vld lady set two lighted “* yaller tallers.”’ as Aleck calls ildon’s' do you think es?”" death; them. on the mantel shelf of each room, she doubtless thought within herself that she hud produce an extraordinary effulgenee. They east a dull, sickly glare over the company, and when Mr. Paddlefurd and Sally; Ann came sailing down stairs to get marricd, with the | irdesmaid and groomsman at their heels, it would have been rather difficult to take a cor- rect inventory of their fisings. You are awa: near us, and as Mr. Paddleford was considera- bly attached to Mr. Good, he was quite willing to be married by him, but he desired that the oe ae should be performed from the prayer To this Mr. Good assented, and Sally Aun, in her interesting meeknsss, of course made no ob- jection. So please imagine Mr. Good as having progressed with the ceremony down to “ for richer, for’’-——-, and there for the present we leave him. Now, one of Mrs. Lynes’ help had taken one of the candles from the back room into the kitehen, and little Sophy Emmons, who had been suddenly seized with stomach ache, had been carried up stairs by her mother, and with them was taken the remaining back room candle. Still. as the company natu- rally crowded into the front room to witness the ceremony, these luminaries were uot particu- larly missed. But the * yaller tallers”’ of the front room had begun to burn so dimly from an acentulation of charred wick, that the poe Good had to look pretty sharp at his book order to get the words correctl, Samson Flakes, noticing this, st dies with his usual viliciousness, and snuffing it too low, snuffs it out. Thinking, perhaps. of better luck next time. and not having the wit to first relight the extinguished one. he ste; the other end of the mantel shelf. and has the same luck with this candle as with the former. So there we are, in perfect darkness, just as Mr. Good (a# I said before) had got down to *+for richer, for’’-—— to be sure he managed to get out the word ‘ rer,”’ but at this point, from his lack of familiarity with the prayer-book form, the poor man got stock, awd Mr. Paddle- ford and Sally Aun were only half married. * Where's tho matches’? where's the match- nquired poor Flukes, half frightened to while at the same time Mra. Lynes’s voice could be hoard yelling to Bridget, the servant, to bring up a candle from the kitchen. Aleck, who sat by my side. shook with sup: ressed laughter; and altogether it was cortain- y & very comical concateuation of events. After some delay, Bridget mado her appear- ance with a lighted ‘ yailer taller,”’ and must ot course place it on that end of the mantle shelf farthest from Mr. Good, on which Aleck, who had at length succeeded in putting on a straiglit face, removed it to the end nearer the clergyman and immediately after lighted the two which had been /Vv4e-extinguished. But through all these occurrences so mc/apropos to the ocvasion, it happened that the worthy pas- tor lost his place in the ritual, and when it is considered that this was his first essay in mar- tying from the prayer-book, who can wonder’ Sally Ann seemed almost ready to faint, and Mr. Paddleford was 20 overwhelmed with con- fasion that we were quite unable to tell where Good had Teft off: and in order to be on the safe side, a cousiderable portion of that which had been said previous to the temporary plague of Egyptian darkness was repeated; and so at last the parties were not only thoroughly married, but a little more than married. Whea Mr. Good took his seat, you would have thought he had earned his fee, for he sweated as though he had been mowing a fleld of wheat, and he has been heard to say that any one wishing to get married out of a book after this will have to go to some other shop. Deacon Marrowfat, one of the guests, has ever since maintained on the same strain, that the whole chapter of accidents that I huve related to you, was’ in consequence of marrying from the mass book, as he persists in calling the book of Common. Prayer, and says that all we needed was a bell, to make it a regular ‘ bell, book and candle’’ operation. Bat every one to his taste. When Dr. Primrose, the old Episcopalian rector at Whistletown, heard the story, they do say he laughed ready to kill kimself. Ie shrewdly guessed that should Mr. Paddieford haye oceasion to get married the second time, he would be apt to employ a work- man to perform the job, who was sufficiently familiar with the tovls to handle them in the dark. “Might as well,”” he jocosely, said, “set a hatter to making a pair of $a3 to pnt the prayer-book in the hands of a secretary,’ But if there was a deficiency of light at Mr. Lyne’s. the profusion of eatabies and drinkables was such as to be almost barbaric. Do for a mo- ment fancy delicate young ladics cramming themselves at a wedding with imuense qu: ties of roast pig and roast goose and turnips, and ouions boiled and pickled, fried sausages and bread and butter. The tapering off was with such nice little nicnacs and mince pies, ere asa great chunks of pound cake. cracked hickory nuts and cider. Old Lynes prided himsulf on the solid character of this entertainment. He said “that a little sip of lemonade and a pinch of cake wouldn't go far toward filling nobody's stomach, and was only suitable for gals from York.” After supper, the old man brought out one ot his pipes, and he and several other old coun- try codgers had a regular smoke, right in the room where the guests were uas-embled. It seemed too bad to fumigate in this way, and yet I do suppose that bud your uncle Lemuel been there he would have been as jolly a smo- ker as any of thenr. Mrs. Lynes and Sally Ann being members of the church, of course we could have no dancing; but regular old fashioned romping games wound up the evening's entertainment. Tawns, for- feita and kissing, kept the company in a tre- meplous roar, but in what respeets these conrso amusements are more pious than dancing, [ never could comprehond. L have no taste for them myself, but Aleck, who loves fun of all kinds. joined in with the rest, and was as up- roariousty noisy as he was able to be, when all of a sudden [ observed him to back down and keep his seat. On asking him the reasuu, he rephed in a whisper that the ladies’ breath smelt so diabolically of onions he couldn't stand itany longer. We reached home at a late hour, and so ended Sally Ann’s wedding - eee - & 7 The Bombay Courier, alluding to the na tives of Indias, saya ‘that it is the belief of mil- lions that to possess the Kuh-i-noor is to be doomed to ruin. The natives say that fromthe time it was diseovered in the mines of Goleonda witil it eame into the } 03 esionof Runject Sing fortune and misery have dogged the footsteps of its'possessors.’" This idea has a great effect on the public mind, as has also the prophecy lpg current that after a century of rule the power England in the East is to full—acycle now about accomplished. i[7 A bridle path to the summit of Moosehil- lock mountains, in New Hampshire, bas been completed, and was to be dedicated by a large pargy on the 17th inst.
