THE DIAMOND 'WEDDING
'For. weeks past, 'the New York papers have
been filled_wi lt!glowing accounts of the Mar
riage of S or OvtEne, a wealthy. Cuban, to
the da iter of Lieut. BARTLETT. • The ta
mes pithlicity was given to the,hridal- trQus-
Jean. Silks, Satins, bonnets, .flowers and dia , .
monde, were regularly exhibited and inven
toried, at prime •cost,' in the news'iptipers,:as•
presents from 'the wealthy old Don. to his
young bride... •
The wedding was a regular theatrical' dis
play in a fashionable church, and was Wit
nessed by a crowded audience. A Mr. E. C,
Stedman, of New York, celebrated the Wed
ding in the following humorous poem, whicili
'roused — flio .thoutAliWgtWit, Wlio dial=
lenged the author, to the " field of honor."
Stedrn promptly accepted the challow,
but' Mr. Bartlett,, taking a ". sober second
thought," withdrew the -challenge to seek a
more peaceful remedy in a court 6f law. , The
poem is a clover hit; and we give it entire.

I have over venerated aye. I never wished
to be old myself, but I have been glad at ap
proaching age—hoping that in tee it might be
even as I have seen and admired , from my
earliest thoughtfulness. that "in multitude of
years there is wisnow." Oh, revere the old,
becauSe he is old. T_ he legends of slow rolling
years are written legibly on his wrinkled
brow. Years of disappointment, joy and woe
have sent their cloud-Sluidow and flecked sun

Winter hangs about its
Bidet', and within the corners of the placid yet
overshadowed eyes; the smiles of Summers
aWeetly linger.. It was a noble custom for the
young to f;jse at the entrance of the old—to
uncover the head to them in passing, and not
only to give them the highest seat, but a young
man scarcely dare to be seated at all in the
presence of the aged. I ever sought the old
when at parties,, iu my goutl,l I could not
bear the common insipidity of this young, and
would seek relief therefrom in the company of
the old, listening to the . history of their years
Generally; I could find an old man and old
woman back in the kitchen, whereto I would
slip away tinobserved, and spend as much of
the evening as possible, or until my "hiding
place" was discovered. have even left the
house for an hour, on such occasions, and'
Bought out some'poorold neighbor who had a
fund of vivid recellections.• Undo Alfred was
an old bachelor, and for that reason all the
young people had the privilege of calling hint
" Uncle." Wle was "a well-read man," and
when I,wanted to Consult' a library, I would
go and listen Co his talk for an hour on any
given subject—and-many a sentiment of wis
dorit ho uttered, spiOed .with his own expe
rience. .
On one of the richest and most ortierly,fartns
in Western New York, lives " Uncle Archy."
Reis about seventy years old; and retains his
vigorous mental powers ; hie eye is not dim
med, neither is his natural 'strength abated.
Until about two 'months since, I had not seen
Uncle Archy for many years—and I had but a
slight reiolleit t lin of a very little girl I -had'
seen there—ii"neice ofThis:—who, at,the tirno
of t his last visit,had become a beautiful girl
of eighteen summers: Now it looked quite
primitive, and, I must confess, picturesque, to
see her spinning woolen ‘rolls" into "sticking
yarn ;" but, it was a quiiiht and queer notion
for Uncle Arcliy to prefer the Indite of the
spinning wheel for that of:the piano, for I as
-sure, you he is - as able to do . without theipin
tang, as ho is also able. to stock a seminary
with pianos, 'But, you- must remember, that

turned round', and saw a man moving along as
if ho had stolen a sheep, and thought the po
lice was nt his heels. Finding we would not'
be accommodated, we started for the St. Law
rence Hotel, the largest in the city. Before
jumping into the omnibus, ono of our party,
perhaps more impudent than the rent, told the
clerk of the Donegana, that wo had hotels in
' Baltimore and New York, that could :teem'.

Surveying him from head to foot, the voice of
one cried oub, "I belong to tho United States
and if you know when aro well, you'll got out
of here." His feathers drooped, and the
scoundrel, who had taken us where ho knew
we could not be accommodated, went outside,
and kept quiet, until it suited our convenience
to put a quarter a piece into his hands. We
were kindly received at the St. Lawrence, and
enjoyed comfortable quarters,
We had but little opporlupiti oforiewing the
scenery, which displays itself on either side
of the St. Lawrence.. Yet; the hour of day :

morning, which we enjoyed, were fully int:

after wo arrived, a pedlar drove up and or
doted that his horse should be stabled for the

to the bar-room, and as soon as Hip ids was
broken the conversation flasted freely. Sea
eral,aneedotes had been related; and finally
tile pedlar-was asked to give us a story ; as men
of this profession were generally full of adven

me? You see lam 'now right from the Far

small ,village tavern in Hancock county, Ind.
—I said it wait pleasant—lmeartit was warm, 1
but it was cloddy and likely 'to be very dark.
'I went in and called for supper, and I had my
horse taken care of, and after I had eaten I
sat down in the bar-room. It began to rain
about -8 o'clock, and for a while -it poured
''down good, and was awful dirk out of doore..
Now I wanted to be in Jackson early. the
next morning, for I expected a load of goods
ther'Fitor me, which i intended to dispose of
onmy way home.- Vie moon would rise about
midnight, arid I know if it did not rain-I could
get along very comfortably through the 1111111
after that. So I asked the landlord if he could
- not seethat my horse wits -fed - about midnight
as I wished to be' off before two. Ho express-,
ed some surprise at this, and asked me why I
did not stop for breakfast. 1 told him 'I had
said my last load aboutrall out. and that a-new
lot of goods was waiting for me at Jackson,
and I wanted to-be there before the- express
agent left in the Morning.. There were a num
ber Of people sitting round while I told this,
but I took but little notice of them; only one
arrested-my attention. I bad in mypossession
a small 'package of placards which I was to de,
liyer to the Sheriff'ofJackson„and they were,
notices for the detection of a notorious robber
named Dick fiardhead.'i , The. bills gave a de
scription of his-person, and the'man before
me answered very well to iL In-fact it was

.DITOII HERALD
What could it be? I looked quickly around.
but could see nothing, , Yet I knew that the
sound that I heard wasvery close to nui• As
t4!!i!}4...whaels..camo-up Lfelt.sinnething-from
-une-sidirtn-tho7oThiii-o-finly wagon, and I could
also feel the jar occasion:Vd by the movement.
It wos simply a man in my cart! I knoiv this
on the instant. Of course I felt puzzled. .4t
first I imagined some poor fellow had taken
this method to'obtaiu a ride; but I soon gave
this up, for 1 knew' hat any decent man would
have asked mo for a tido. My next idea was
that somebody had gid in to sleep but this
passed away as quickly as it came, for no man
would have broken into my cart for that pur
pose. And that thought, gentlemen, opened
my Ives. Whoever was in there had broken
in.
My neat thoughts were of Dick Hardhead.
He had heard me say that my load was all
sold out, and of Course he supposed I had some
money with ma. In this he. was right, for I
had over two thousand dollars. I also thought
he meant to leave the cart when he supposed
I bad reached a safe placc,lifid then •either
creep over and shoot me, or knock me down.
All this passed through my mind by the time
I had got a rod from the holi.
Now I never make it a point toirrag of my
self but I have seen a great deal of the world,
and-I am pretty cool and clear, headed under,
difficulty. In a very few mofnents my resolu
tion was formed. My horse teas 'now knee
'deep in tho mud, and I knew I could slip off
without noise„... So I drew my revolver—l
never travel in that country without one; I
drew' this, auttliating twined the reins round
'the whip stock, I carefully slipped down in
the mud, and as the cart passed on I wont be
hind it and examined'the hair.. . .. ,
The door of the cart lets down; and is fast
ened by a hasp, which slips over a staple and
is then secured by a padlock which was gone,
and the hasp was secured In its , place by a-bit
of pine, so that a slight force from within
uould break it: - My wheel wrench hung in a

knew that at the distance of half a mile furth
er should come to a good. hard road, and so
'followed my hors* to pick his awn way through
the mud. 'About ten minutes after this I heard
a motion in the cart, followed by .a-gOndittg

Bythis time the two hostler, had come up
to see what was the matter, and I explained'
it all to them, After this I got. one of them ,
to run and rout out the Sheriff and tell what
Lbelieved I'd got for him: The first streaks
of daylight were just coming 'up, and in half
an hour it would be broad daylight. In less
than that time the Sheriff came, and two men
'with him. I told them the whole, in a few
words—exhibited the handbills I had for him,
and then he made for the cart. fie told*the
chap inside who he was, and if he-made the
least resistance, he'd be-a dead man. Then-
I slipped the iron wrenoWouti and as I let the
door down the , fellow made a spring. I caught
him by the Anklerfind he - .oame down on his
face, and in a Moment more the offerers. had
him. It was now daylight, and the moment I
saw- the chap I recognized him. \ lie was
marched off to the lock up, and I told the
Sheriff I should remain in town all day.
After 'breakfast, the Sheriff came down to
the tavern; and told me I had got the very
bird, and that if I would retrain until the next
Morning, I should have the reward of two
hundred dollars, which had been offered.
I found my goods all safe, paid the express
agent for bringing them
_from Indianapolis,
and then went to work to stow them away in
my cart. The bullet holes were found in the
top of my vehicle, just as I expected. They
were in a lino about five inches apart, and
had I been where . I usually sat, two of them
would have bit me somewhere about the small_
of the back and pass'ed upwards. for they
were sent with a heavy charge of powder and
Olvt hiffening the Shefiffeilled upon
me, and paid me two hundred dollars in gold,
for he had ma& himself sure that he'd got the
villain. I afterwards found a letter in the wit,
