H(‘r satin robe was in sev eral places stained with blood ; aiul sure ly never was any spectacle half so ghast ly I Her friends repressed their tears atid’sohs, and, gathering round her, at tempted to convey her auay. She sul»- mitted as if anwittitigly j but when hej foot was on the threshold of liic poi tal she burst intf) long and coniined shrieks. 'I'he whole church rang with the appall ing cry ; and it was not until she had coni])leteIy exbausied liersclf by her scream*!, and had sunk into a sort of tor por, interrupted only by low moat.s, that she could b(; taken lV(jm ilit*-fatal sj)ot. A coroner's inrjuest sat in the vestry, anri a sad tale of female levity, and of the weakness and libertinism of man, came out. iJut the subject is too painful to dwell upon, and I gladly turn to pleasan ter recollections. "SVc had a very fine party shortly af terwards, who arrived in two or three e.'irrini^es. 'riie bride was yoiin^ and fair, l)ut she held her head down, and seemei irreatly agitated. It was very easy to i)eieeive that het heart had not bec'n consulted in the ehoiee of a hus band. "I’he lather, a tall heavy-hro\vc(l man, casts evei e and threatening ^l;;nces uj)(»n Ids trembliiijj ianiji;hter ; hitt the mother, thoii;h she seemed efjually bent upon the match, interceded lor a little eessaiion of lioltilities, and when the shriekin;^ f>;irl asked to he allowed to walk tor a moment with one friend in the church, in order to collect her sf’at- tered thoughts, leave was jrraiited. As she passed otit of the door she droi)i()ed lier u liite satin reticule, and it clai)ked heavily a;-aiiisted the steps—a sotind •not at all like that of a smelling bottle, and •! niu.st confess that my euriosiiy was strongly e\citeil. I endeavoured to pick it up—but belbre I could bend my arm, which is a little stiil'with the rheumatism, she had whipped il olfthe ground, and down thesideai.sleshe went, leaning upon her comj)anion’sarm. 'I’liis aisle is long, and rather dark, termin ating in a heavy oaken screen, which conceals the green baize door leading to the front portah She passed behind this screen and was seen no more ! I thought it very odd, but it was not my place to speak, so I retuned into the vestry room, that I might not be ques tioned. Presently the bridegroom ar rived, and an illfavoured gentleman he was, with a fretful discontented coun tenance ; and he began complaining of having been detained at home by some fool’s message. After he had grumbled for a few minutes the bride was called for—she was not to be found. The fa ther stormed. “ Is this a lime,” he excl?imed, “to jilay such childish tricks! she hashiilden heiseif in somecorner';” and away we all hastened in search of her. The church doors were shut and locked, but as 1 passed up the gallery stairs 1 observed that the bolts were withdrawn from that which led from the side aisle. 1 did not, however, feel myself compelled to ])ublish this discovery, though I shrewdly suspected that .the reticule wliich had rung so loudly as it fell contained a key ; and so it proved. Some time was wasted in exiiming the organ-loft, and indeed every place in which a mou.'c might have been concealed. At last somebo dy hit upon the truth, and a little in- fptiry placed the elopement beyond a doubt. We leaned that a carriage hatl been in waiting nta corner of the street o])posile to the church ; and tliat a gen tleman had been seen ioiterii.g tuuh'r the portico, who, tlie ii.stnpt tliat two ladies popped out, eoiiducted them to his er]iii|)age, which moved leisurely away, whih- we weii; engaged in our unsuccessful search. Upon strict ex amination il came out that a pew-opener bad Imiiisl.ed the means of obtaining u false key. Jt would be impossMile to (leserif)e tlie i:ige and dismay of the (iisiijipointed parlies : the mothei' went oil in hysterio, the bridegroom hjoked soiiter than ever, t!u‘ father raved and swore l.'itleily ; and the cleruymun, af ter \aiiily attempting to j-neily him, reaii him a fectiirt* uj)on l;is inleii.peraie conihiet.
