Jn those days the law of marriage was strict. Fourteen days public notice of an intention to commit matrimony was re quired ; ami the clergymau, orthejustice, who performed the marriage ceremony without having received a certificate to the effect that the said public notice had been given, was liable toaheqvy penalty. Augustus Sebastian Walpole hu i long ioVe'd and adored Mias Mary-Almira Al lard; aud it had for some months been fixed that they should be wed ou Chriat- Luas evening ; and fcebabiiuu looked out that his * luieuiiou 1 was published In due seasuu. He regarded it as a mo •luentous affair, and he entered upon the preliminaries with much fear and tremb ling, . As Christmas drew near, preparations for the happy event were made. Mary would not be married at her own home-; and her step moihe* was very glad when she heard Ute decision ; so it was arranged c at the cefembuy pjace at debautiauj3,. and bluty.’s Sier Hoiry w«uX, over lo.keep-Uer c. mpany, and-to help hei in : the labor of prepara tion; lor she was .determined with her own hands to prepare the weddlug least. Christmas Would come on Thursday.’ They were to he married at six o’clock in the evening, auu alter that tho wedding feast was to be served, ■ . There was not a grown person at Day ton Corner who hud not heard of Mary Allard’s ‘Smothered Goose.* . Nobody else, since Mary's own mother died, could smother-roast agoosoiike her, The pro cess was not only a mystery, butaoexact were the culinary requirements, that lew could acquire the art. Tho goose cooked iu this way the table brown, sweet, tender, excessively juicy and with out a particle of that oily flavor which renders goose aud duck so unpalatable to some. 01 course smothered goose was to bo the main dish of the.feast; aud that Mary might have a goose worthy of her skill, Sebastian had selected one several mouth's before', from a flock owned by a friend near the Centre, and this friend was to shut it,away from its mates a low weeks before it would be' wanted, and give It.extra food.. Wednesday carae—the day before Christmas—and after dinner Sebastian hitched old Dobbin to the-sleigh, and matte ready to start for the Centre, there to get his marriage certificate, Ids goose, and various other articles too numerous to mention; one of which, however, was a gallon of good*old Madeira. Aud let me make a remark : CARLISLE,, PA., THUIRSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1869, ‘Taste of that, old follow!’ cried the storekeeper, holding up a tumbler half full of the clear, blushing: liquid, That was before the days of the .Maine Law and Adulteration, - Sebastian tasted of it—tasted again— smacked his lips, and sipped again. ‘ Don’t be afraid of it. That’s the stuff ,that puts life and vigor iuto a man.’ - And Sebastian drank it do^vn* * -By glory, Walpole, you ought to have some of.thls old Sherry, to. go with it.— Just try that ‘ If.ydu dont say that s the best Sherry you ever tasted, I’ll give it to you.’ ;■. ’• ■ A man, fall blooded and vigorous, who had tasted nothing stronger than coffee .for two years, could pot contain a gill of old Madeira without feeling it in bis brain very qulpkly,, waited not to be asked b secuijd time 16 take . the Sherry. He drank otf halfa tumbler full, and then entered Into asplrited con versation. Mercy I liO'V hia tongue hod loosened; and how liberal he felt I Of course he would' have a gallon of the Sherry. ‘lsold Sol Marshall going to be at your wedding ‘Certainly.’ 1 Got any brapdy at home?’ • * Ko/ • 1 By glory I you ought to have a quart —say a bottle of,U-just for old Sol. He’ll appreciate it. And then you’lf want it in the house, you know. I’ve got about the best article 6l pale Marlel that ever crossed the.water..The-e, just put a drop of water in-tbat-r-not too much—don’t, drown ill’ hebasliah poured a very little water into about half a gill of pure old biamly.; and b«ving*held Jt up to tbeliirhi, and mark ,ed the oily waving of. the bright topez Muted liquid, he poured it down bin throat. It was good, capital. He wduld have a,boltje ol.lt. Yen, ‘ put me up two bottles of It'while you're about it. Thun derl a.fellow isn't married only once I' *Tlmt’s the idea, Sebastian.’. Ah! Thin ! Charlie ! Harry !—bow are you old fellows ?’ * Jerusalem I Sebastian, is it.yoti ? Say, old chap, It’s coming off to-morrow V ‘Yea.’ ‘ Then you ought to.do the .handsome. l f Of course I‘will. Come up—What'll ye have?’ The three young men who had just en tered the store had been old cronies of in his days of fun and frolic, and they were glad enough to find him in asocial moou ; rerouting me past two years they hufl enjoyed but little of his companionship. But lie was pleased to meet them, now. With the tire in his blood that set him on the road to frolic, they were the three of all others he would have chosen for companionship at that time. There is no need of enlarging here.— When Sebastian commenced to drink with his old, cronies he was. gone. He bad a jolly good time, no doubt j. but h© was to carry Ifitle remembrance of it homo with him. • , About two o’clock on Christmas morn ing, Mary, wha had been watching all night, saw old Dobbin turn into the yard, with the sleigh behind him; but she could see no Sebastian. Calling Polly, she ran down to the door. She did not stop for a lantern, for the moon was,up and gave light enough. In the sleigh, flanked with demijohns, bottles, bundles, aud goose, lay Sebastian. At first Mary grew faint with a great fear: but very soon she divined the truth, ’ Was she in censed? No. Her first thought was—aiid she spoke it aloud-‘lt’s all my fault, Polly! It’s all my own fault, ami not his. He didn’t want to buy the wine,, but I GortS!S>fc , Ti,-.fjiML a LS e ±astianl o; - They got Sebastian up,and got him in to th.e house, he the while declaring: - ‘No, no, boys—(hie)—notanor’er drop!

Oh 1 git me home ?’ Towards tlje middle of the forenoon Sebastian awoke, and Mary was soon with him. He had said enough in his wanderings while she ami Polly hud been getting him to bed, to give her an understanding of the whole-affair, and .instead of blaming him, her first words were of love and kindness. She ueknowl-' edged that it was all her own fault, and that she had been sufficiently punished for persuading her lover to do that which he lelt ho ought not to do; ‘ So let us think no more about it, dear I cried Mary, with a kiss. : But Sebastian was not willing to leave his Mary, bear the burden of blame. He claimed it for Ids to bear, and acknowl edged his sin, and promised not to do It He looked into his pocket book, and found his money all gone—every dol lar; bui that wasn’t worth crying about. To be sure there had been something over a hundred-dollars;' -but” he could make that up ill, time; and lie professed to. hope tlmc r .Um / leason might .he . worth that to him" He sa'w. :what tm Supposed to-be the important paper he put ir, and that was all right. . - The day passed on; a cup Of strong coffee, and a little eserc’se in the open air, very soon brought Sebaa'ian up to something like himself. The pits and the cake and the pudding were made, ami the royal, goose was in process of smothering, and' everything seemed In readiness for the grand event. Agustns Sebastian had donned his wpudinggarb, and having drawn a five dollar bill from a little reserve ho chan ced to have in his desk, he thought he would put it in the certificate, as he had been iniormed by Mary that that was the way It was done. ’ ‘Como Sobasliau are’Wait ing.* *Tn a minu:o love. Let me put the money in the—’ He meant to say certificate, as he sup posed ho had taken the paper: from bis pocket book ; but upon opening be read —not, “Know all men by tliese presents:** but “Agustus S. Walpole, to B. F, Grantly Hr. to one gal. Madeira wine—’* 1 &c. ‘Heavehs and earth ?* ' r Mary rushed into the room, aud found her lover pale and trembling. He had lost his marriage certificate I They hunt ed through every bit of clothing Sebas tian had touched since the night before: and then they wont out and looked through the sleigh ; but the paper could not bo found. They looked again and again—and' looked once more—looked into possible, and Impossible places. The old minister was summoned, and the lofts was explained to him. He knew they had been regularly published ; and as soon as Mr. Harney came back from Tails bury he would getanew certificate, dated back to agree with the old one. O! couldn’t he—wouldn’t he, for mercy’s sake! marry them? Person Bebee , was a kind hearted, whole souled, matt ; but ho was unswerv ingly conscientious. Not for the worfd •’would htf violate mo statue-of his State. And moreover he explained that such a ceremony would be no marriage in Jaw. Children borne of such marriage would bo illegitimate, and all concerned would be liable to prosecution, No, he could, not! . One more lust long search, and the CerUllcuto was given up. .The minister hud been down.und explained the wholo< matter to the waiting company.; and they’ said, “Let us have our feast-let Joy take the place of sadness—and at another time wo will come to a quiet wedding.’ The parson himself thought it-would bo too bud to disappoint the invited guests. ‘Let's carve Mary’s Wedding Goose—’ ‘Not a Wedding Goose,’ groaned Se bastian. . . . , . ‘Well, we’ll call it so. .Como, cheer up. Many a storm worse than tills has blown dyer without harm to anybody.’ - Thu great old sitting-room was ablaze with a score of Jumps, , and when tiobas tiun-uud Mary hud taken their seats to gether at the table —sitting in the centre oi the long side, opposite the old minis ter—uud when they found how truly kind and considerate their friends were/ they ■*- began to take heart and Maty whispered to her lover.. ‘Let’s bo happy ifwe can, Sebastian. It won’t bo for long that evil shall with us.’ Parson 1 Bebeo •invoked the Divine blessing,; aud thou seized the carving utensils and attacked the Smothered Goose, the royal savor of which had com pletely filled the house with its delicious odor.. He took off the wings, disjointed and separated the legs, and then out, down at the breast, and pared of! the thick rich layers of meat from the sides of the breast bone. This done, ho insert ed the point of the carver into the thoruio cavity, for the purpose of extracting the stuffing.- , A few bits of rich stuffing, and then something interfered—there seemed to bo a hUbslance that did not belong there. The parson got the point of the fork into it, and finally pulled it out, *A dish rug!’ inadvertently uttered an unsophisticated female guest. ‘Oh 1.1 thought Susan hud cleaned it?’ gasped Mary, turning as red as lire, and then paMog to an ashen hue. ‘Hold dnl’ exclaimed the parson, who having partially opened the extraneous substance with a knife aud .fork, now teok it into his hand. ‘You ueddn’t be ‘ut&ir'uJarmtiU, my dear eluld,’ lie" went on, at the same time standing erect, and overhauling the thing in *uch a manner that those who were sitting could not s-e . it is all right. The goose is all prop fir, Augustus Sebastian Walpole and Mary Almira Allard, X want you both to stand up. I can’t do us I like to do, but I’ve thought that our Wedding Feast would seem more like the real thing, if we only went through the form.. Come —just to please us all—stand up. Stand op and take hold of hands and I’ll just show yen how tilings ought to bo done; for !declare I can't serve qut this goose without just a little more than a single blessing.', • ■ ‘Oli, yes! yes! do! do,'came from all parts ot the long table. .Ami without thinking—moving like machines—their sell-wills fairly' crushed out—the twain arose and took each other, by the hand, and the old pastor went through the marriage with such unction that old Deucoh Allard, Mary’s uncle eqclalmed : • • ‘Ain’t that ere- a little.too much like the real thlng, parson?' * ‘ ‘Well—uh--I think not,' replied the ministexv / ” -Ami thou ho. showed them what he had found in the goose, to wit I ,' Sebasti an’s money and marriage certificate. • .Was there ever.such u time ? The old paroOU, the moment ho ceased.'speaking, shot buck his chair, and popped around and kissed the bride; and everybudj' else followed aultr—she laughing and cry ing..by turns, butat the time as happy us she could be. And then, with the bright gloaming of great joy, and the blessed, dreams of happy promise, making jubilant the feast, the assembled company set to work of testing the excellence of com missioned aud accredited Wedding Goose. . . Timubx Tvxarcii. BY OHAKLfiS READS. The 10:16 train, glided from Padding ton, May; 7,1847. lii the left compart ment of a certain first-class carriage were four passengers ; of these, two were worth description. The lady had a smooth; white, delicate brow, strongly marked eyebrows, long lushes, eyes that, seemed A man could not see her nose for her eyes and mouth; her own sex could and would have told us some nonsense about it. She wore ah unpretending gaylsli dress, buttoned to the< throdt, with lozenge-shaped buttons, and a .Scotch 1 Ahawl that agreeably evaded tho i respon sibility of color. She was like a duck, her plain feathers fitted.her, and there she sat, smooth, snug and delicious, with u book in her hand, and a soupcon of her wrist just visible us she held it.— Her opposite Ueigobor was what X call,a good stylo of muu—the more to his credit, since he belonged to a corporation that frequently turns out the worst imagina ble style of young men. He was a caval ry officer, aged twenty-five. He hud a •moustache, but not a very repulsive one; not one of those sub-nasal pig-lulls on which soup Is suspended like a dew on a shrub, it was short, thick and black as a coal. His teeth hud not yet been turn ed by tobacco smoke to the color of juice, his clothes did not stick to nor hang to him, he hud an engaging smile, apd what I liked the dog for, his vanity, which was inordinate, was in its proper p!uc his heart, not in his tace, jostling mine and other people's who have none— in d word, ho was wnai one oftener hears of; than meets—a young gentleman. Ho was conversing in an animated whisper witn a companion, a fplfiAv.officer ; tin y WerfeHglkiug about. What it is far; better not t«- do—women.. Our friend clearly did not wish to be overheard, • for hb cast ever and anon a furilive glance at his lair vis-a-vis and lowered his voice.— Bhe seemed completely absorbed in her book, and that leassured him. At last the two.soldiers‘came down toa whisper, (the truth must be told,) the one who.got down ttlough, and was lost to posterity ; bet ten pounds to three, that he who was going down with us to Bath and Immor tality, would not kiss either of the Judies opposite upon the road. 'Hone, done!’ Row I am sorry a man I have hitherto praised should have lent himself, oven in a whisper, to such a speculation, ‘but nobody is wise at all hours,* not even when the clock Is striking five and twenty.; and you are to consider his pro fession, his good looks, and the tempta tion—ton to three. After tilough the party was reduced to three ; utTyvylford one lady dioppod her handkerchief; Captain Holignan fell on it like a tiger and returned it like a lamb; two pr three >vords were interchanged on th'ia J, occaal6u. At Heading, the Marl borough of our tale made one.of the safe investments of that day, bp bought a Times and Punch; .the latter full of steel pen thrusts and wbod outs. Valor and beauty deigned to laugh at some Indented humbug or other punmured by Punch,— Now laughing together thaws our human, ice: long before tJvvlndou it was a talk ing match—at Swindon who so devoted as Captufh Holiguau—he handed them out —He souped them—he tough chicken ed them —he braadied and coohiue&led one, aud tie braiidied and burnt sugared the other; on their return to the car riage, one lady passed into the Inner compartment to inspect a certain gentle* man’s seat oh that side of the line. Reader, had it been you or I the beauty Would have been the deserter, the ave rage one would have stayed wlth ua,; till all was blue, ourselves included; hot v more surely does our slice of bread and butler, when It escapes from our baud, revolve it ever so ttftelr;' ailfetu facedown-' ward on the carpet.’ But this was a bit of a fop, Adonis, dragoon—so Venus re mained in tele a-’teto' with him. You have seen a dog meet an unknown female of his species; how handsome, how emprewee, how expressive he'he comes; such was Bolignau after Swin don, and to do the dog Justice, he got handsome and handsomer; and you have seen a cat conscious of approachiug ore.!m-r-such was Miss Huythoru; she became'demurer and demurer; presently our captain looked .out of the window and laughed; this el cited an enquiring look irom Miss fclaythum. ‘Wu are only a mile from, the Box Tunnel.' ", ‘JJu uivvays laugh .a' mile from the Box Tanner*’ said the lady. ‘invariably.! ••‘•What fmV' r :*'Why,,hem! it is a geutloman’s/joke.’ Captain Boliguan thus encouraged, recounted to ;Miss Hay thorn the follow ing: *A lady and her husband sat together going through the Box Tunnel—there was one egutlemau oppositoj it was pitch dark; after the tunnel the laiy said, ‘George, how absurd of you to salute mo going through tbo tunuel. 'I did no such thing.’ ‘You didn’t?’ *No! why? because somehow I thought you did!’ Here Captain Dolignau laughed, and endeavored to lead his companion to laugh,-but It was not to be done. The train entered the tunnel. Mis3,Haytborn—ah! Dolignau—What is the matter? Miss Huytborn—l am frightened. Dolignan (moving to her side)—Pray do not be alarmed; 1 am near you. Miss Hayihome—You are near me— very near mo, indeed, Captain Dolignan. Dolignan—You know my name! Miss. Haythorn—l heard you mention It. I wish wo were out of this dark place. ,'. Dollgnah—l could be content to spend hours here, reassuring you, my dear lady. • Mias Haythorn—Nonsense? Dolignan— -Pweep! (.Grave reader, do not put your lips to the next pretty crea ture you meet, or you will understand what this means.)' Miss Hay thorn—Eel Ee! Eel Friend—What is the matter? Miss Haythorn—Open the door! Open the door! . .. There was asound of hurried whispers, the door was shut and the blind pulled I iown with hostile sharpness. 1 If any critic falls on me for putting nartlculate sounds ,in a dialogue as above, I answer with ail the insolence I can command at present, ‘Hit boys as big as yourself;’ bigger perhaps, sufch as Sophocles, Euripcdes and Aristophanes; they begun it, and I learned it of them, sore against my will. Miss Hay thorne’s scream lost most of .its oflect because the engine whistled forty thousand murders at. the same moment; aud ficticious grief makes it self heard when real cannot. • Between the tunnel and Bath our young, friend had time to ask himself whether his. conduct hud been marked by that delicate reserve which is sup-, posed to distinguish the perfect gentle- , man. With a long face, real or feigned, he held open the door; bis late friends at* tempted fo escape on* the other side—im possible! they must pay him. She whom he had insulted (Latin.fof kissed) deposited somewhare at bla feet a look of gentle, blushing reproach, the other whom he had not insulted, darted red hot daggers at film from hor ond ea they (Juried. It was, perhaps, fortunate for Dolignan that lie. had the grace to be a friend to Major Hoskyns of bis regiment, a vete ran laughed at by toe youngsters, lor the major was too apt to look coldly upon billiard-balls and cigars; he had seen cannon bails and ; linstocks. He had also, t-> tell the truth, swallowed a good bit of the mess-room poker, which made it as impossible for Major Hoskyns to descend to an ungentlemanlike word or action as to brush his own trowsers below the knee.' . . Captain Dolignan told this gentleman his story in gleeful accents; but Major Hoskyns heard him coldly, and os coldly answered that he had known a man lose his own life for the same thing. ‘That is nothing;” continued tho Major ‘hut unfortunately he deserved to lose At this, blood mountod to the younger man’s temples; and. his senior added, ‘l.mean to say ho was thirty-five; you, X presume, are twenty-one!' ‘Twenty-five.’ ‘That is much the same thing; will you be advised by me?' will advise me.' White the‘j£37thafTe may thmk*you have lost the bet.' * That is hard when I won it.’ 1 Do it all for that sir.' Let the disbelievers in human precept!- bilicy know that this dragoon capable of a blush did this virtuous action, albeit, .with violent reluctance; npd this was his first dumper. A week aftefc those events, he was at a,ball. Ho was imthat state of factitious discontent whictibelongs to ua amiable English. He was'looking in vain for a lady, equal in personal attrac tions to the idea he had formed of George Dolignan as u man, when suddenly there glided past him a most delightful vision ! u lady whose beauty aud symmetry took him by the eyes—another .look; ‘lt can’t bo! ‘Yes, itis!’ Miss Haythorn I (not that he knew her name!) but what an apotheosis! ’ The duck had become a peahen—radi ant, dazzling, she looked twice os beauti ful and almost twice as large as before, llcioat sight of her. He found her again. tShe was so lovely she made him ill—aud he, alone, must not dunce with her, aueuk to her. If he hud been content to begin her acquaintance the usual way, it might have ended in kissiug, but haviug begun with kissing it must end in nothing. As she danced, sparks of beauty fell from her on all around, but him—she did u*»t, see him; it was clear sue never would see him—one gentleman was particularly assiduous; she smiled on his assiduity ; he was ugly, blit she smiled on him Holiguau was surprised,at his ill taste, hid ugliness, his impertinence. Holiguau ut last found himself injured ; 4 who was this man?* ‘and what right had he to go on so?’ -He had never kissed her, I suppose,* said Hody. Holignan could not prove it, but he felt that somehow the rights of property were invaded. Ho went home aud-drearaed of Miss Haw thorn, and hated all the ugly successful.

No one ever suspected her of being aught than what she seenmp, until ope day 1 was ordered to arresther as u.murderess. It was now alleged, said Mr. If.,' that this young beauty was no other than the woman who had poisoned her husband in Havana, and fled with all his wealth. An immeuse reward was offered for her apprehension, and the circumstances that hud come to our knowledge pointed her out beyond all doubt as the person wo were in search of. Yet the person who .recognized her the evening before nf the theatre advised us to bo careful lest she should escape us, 1 laughed at the idea.

It was, no doubt, the messluger, 1 thought, aud I picked up a book aud commencen reading. Near ly an hour passed, aud still the Judy did not make her appearance, nor did the boy return. The friend shu hud sent fur must live at some distance, I thought; or the lady la unusually carotin about Her toilet; and so another hour went by.
