    A Fleet Marriage.
HI AN IRISHMAN.
Lady C. was a beautiful woman, but
Lady e. was an extravagant woman. She
was still single, though rather passed ex•
Verne youth. Like most pretty females
she had looked too high, had estimated
her own loveliness toe dearly, and now she
refused to believe that she was not as
charming as ever. So no wonder she still
remained unman led.
Lady C. had about five thousand pounds
in the world. She owed about forty
Showsand 'pounds ; so with all her wit and
beauty. she got into the Beet, sad was
likely Po remain there.
Now, in the time I speak of every lady
had her head dressed by a barber; and
the barber of the Fleet was the handsomest
barber in the city of London. Pat Philan
was a great admirer of the fair sex ; and
where's the wonder? Sure Pat was an
Irishman. It was one very flue morning
when Philan was dressing her captivating
head, that her ladyship took it into her
mind to talk to him, and Pat was well
pleased, for Lady C.'a teeth were the
whitest and her smile the brightest in the
win Id.
'•So you are not married, Pat," says
the.
"Nut en inch! your honor's ladyship,"
says he.
"And wouldn't you like to be married?"
again askes she.
"Would a duck swim?"
"Is there any one you'd prefer?"
"May be madam," says he, "you niver
heard of Kathleen O'Rielly, down beyant
Doneraile? Her lather's cousin to o'.
Donaghew, who's owa steward to Mr.
Murphy, tl►e under•agent to my Lord
Kingstown, and"---
"Hush!" says she, "sure I don't want
to know who she is. Rut would she have
you if you asked hell"
"All thin, I'd only wish I'd be after
frying that same."
"And why don't you?"
"Sure I'm too poor." And Phil=
heave' a prodigious sigh.
"Would you like to be rich?"
"Does a dog hark?"
"If I make you rich w;11 you do as I
tell you?"
Mille murthers! yer honor, don't be
tantalizing a poor boy."
"Indeed I'm not," said Lady C. So
listen. How would you like to marry met"
Ah, thin, my lady, I believe the King
of Russia himself would be proud to do
that carne, lave alone poor Pat Philan."
"Well, Milan, If you'll marry, me to
morrow I'll give you a thousand pounds."
"Oh! whilabaloo! whilabaloo! sure I'm
mad, or enchanted by the good p-ople,"
roared Pat, dancing round the room.
"But there are conditions," says Lady
C. "After the first day of our nuptials
you must never see me again nor claim
me for your wife."
"I don' like that," says I'at, for he had
been ogling her ladyship most desperately.
"But remember Kathleen O'Reilly.—
With the money I'll give, you may go
and marry her."
"That's throe," says he. "But thin the
bigamy?"
"I'll never appear against you," says
her ladyship. Only remember you must
take an oath never to call me your wife
after tomorrow, and never to go telling
all the story."
"Bit of a word I'll ever say."
"Well, then," sip she, "there is ten
pounds. Go at►d buy a license and leave
the rest to me," and then she explained to
him'where he was to go, and i when he was
to come, and all that.
fi The next day Pat w . as:true to his appoint
went, and found two gentlemen already
with her ladyship.
"Have you got the license?",,says she.
Here it is, my lady," says he, and he
gave it toper. She handed it to one of
gent! e m e n, who viewed it atten
tively. Then, calling in her two servants
she turned to the gentleman that was
reading. "Perform the ceremony," says
she.
And sure enough in ten minutes Pat
Fhilan was the husband, the legal hus
band, of the lovely Lady C.
"That will do," says she to her new
husband, as he gave her a hearty kiss;
"that'll do. Now, sir, give me my mar
riage certificate." The old gentleman
did - so, and, bowing respectfully to the
five-pound note she gave him, he retired
with his clerk, for sure enough I forgot to
tell you that he was a parson.
"Go and bring me the warden," says
my lady to one of her servants.
"Yea, my lady," says she; and present
ly the warden appeared.
"Will you be good enough," says Lady
C., in a voice that would call a bird from
off a tree; "v ill you be good enough to
send and fetch a hackney-coach? I wish
to leave this place immediately."
"Your ladyship forgets," said lie, "that
you must pay me forty , thousand pounds
before 1 can let you go."
"I am a married woman. You can de
tain my husbadd, but not me." And she
smiled at Philan, who began rather to dis
like the appearance of things.
"Darden me, my lady, it is well known
you are single,"
"1 tell you I am married;"
"Where's your husband?"
"There, sir!" and she pointed to the
astonished baiber ; "there lie stands.—
Here is my marriage certificate which you
can peruse at your leisure. My servants
yonder were witnesses of the ceremony.
Now detain me, sir, one instant at your
periL"
- The warden was duxub-founded, and no
woudrr, Pour rhilazs would have spoken
but neither would let liim. The lawyer
below was consulted. The result was
evident. In half an hour Lady C. was
free, and Pat Philan, her legitimate hus
band, a prisoner for debt, to the amount
of forty thousand pounds.
Well, sir, for some time Pat thought he
was in a dream, and the creditors thought
they were still worse. The following
day they held a meeting, and, finding
how they had been tricked, swore they'd
detain poor Pat forever. But as they
knew he had nothing, and wouldn't feel
much shame in going through the Insol
vent Court, they made the best of a bad
bargain and let him out.
Well, you must !crow, aboot a week
after this. Paddy Philan was sitting by his
little fire and thinking over the wonder
ful things he had seen, when, as sure as
death, the postman brought him a letter,
the first he had ever received, which lie
took over to a friend of his, one Ryan, a
fruit seller, because you see he was no
great hand at reading writing, to decipher
for him. It ran thus:
"Go to Doneraile and marry Kathleen
O'Reilly. The instant the knot is tied, I
will fulfil my promise of making you coin.
fortable for life. But, as you value your
life and liberty, never breathe a syllable
of what has passed. Remember you are
in my power. The money will be paid to
you directly when you enclose me your
marriage certificate. I send you £5O for
present expenses. C.
Oh, happy Paddy. Didn't he start
next day for Cork, and didn't he marry
Kathleen and touch a thousand pounds?
By the powers he did. And, what is more,
he took a cottage, which perhaps you
know, not a hundred miles from Brullin,
in the county of Limerick; and, i'faix, he
forgot his first wife clean and entirely,
and never told any one but myself, under
a promise of secrecy, the story of his
"Fleet Marriage."

necessity of so reforming the abuses of the State

part of those by whom they are administered, aro
requested by the State Central Committee of the
Democatic Harrison party, to meet in their several

Indian Vegetable Pills.
If, during the continuance of storms and
floods. the channels of
OUR MIGHTY RIVERS
become so obstructed as to afford an insuffi
cient outlet for the superabundant waters,
we can expect nothing less than that the
surrounding country will be
Overwhelmed with the Flood
In like manner with the human body—if
the skin, kidneys and bowels (the natural
outlets for useless and corrupt humors) be
come so obstructed as to fail in affording a
full discharge of those impurities which are
in all cases
THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS,
we surely can expect no other results than
that the whole frame will sooner or later I),

As in the first place, if we would prevent
an inundation we must remove all obstruc
tions, in order that there may be no hind
rance to the free discharge of the supera
bundant waters. So, in the second place, if
we would prevent and cure disease, we must
open and keep open, all natural drains of the
body.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills of th
North Aoserkan College of Health,
will be found one of the beat rt not the very

for carrying out this beautiful and simple

promote a healthy discharge from the lungs,

How important it is that you commence
without loss of time with BR ANDRETH
PILLS. They mildly but surely r, move all
impurities from the blood, and no case of
sickness can effect the human frame, that
these celebrated Pills do not relieve as muck
as medicine can do. COLDS and COUGHS
are more benefiitted by the Brandreth fills
than by Lozenges and Candies. Very well,
perhaps, as palliatives, but worth nothing as
ERADICATORS of diseases from the human

not merely relieve, they cure. Disease,
whether chronic or recent, infectious or uth

I)a. BENJAMIN BRANDRETII:
Honored Sir,—
Owing to you a debt of gratitude that mo
ney cannot pay. I am induced to make a
public acknowledgment of the benefit my
wife has derived from your invaluable Pills,
About three years this winter she Was takes
with a pain in her acle; which soon became
very much inflamed, and swollen, so mad'
that we became much alarmed, mid sent
for the doctor. During his attendance the
pain and swelling increased to an alarming
degree, and in three weeks from its first
commencing it became a running sore. She
could get no rest at night the pain was so
great. Our first doctor attended her for six.
months, and she received no benefit what
ever, the pain growing worse and the sort
larger all the time. He said if it was beak..
up it would be her death, but he appeared
to be at a loss how to proceed, and my poor
wife still continued to igiffer the most terrible
tortures. We therefore sought other aid,
in a Ilotannical doctor, who said when be
first saw it that lie could soon cure the tiore
and give her ease at once. To our surprise
he gave her no relief, and acknowledged that
it quite baffled all his skill.
Thus we felt atter having trisd during ciao
whole year the experience of two celebrated
physicians in vain, in absolute despair. My
poor wife's constitution rapidly failing in
the prime of her years from her continued
suffering. Under these circumstances we
concluded that we would try your Universal
Vegetable Pills, determined to fairly test
their curative effects. To my wife's great
comfort the first few doses afforded great re
lief of the pain. Within one week to the
astonishment of ourselves and every one who
knew the case, the swelling and the infla
mation began to cease so that she felt quite
easy, and would sleep comfortable, and sir,
after six weeks' use she was able to go thre
the house and again attend to the manage
ment of her family, which she had not done
for nearly fourteen months. In a little over
two months from the time she first commen
ced the use of your invaluable Pills her allele
was quite sound, and her health better than
it had been in quite a number of years be
fore. I send you this statement atter two
years test of the cure, considering it only an
act of justice to you and the public Et large.
We are with much gratitude,
Very respectfully,
TIMO THY & ELIZA A.LITTLE.
PS —The Botanical Doctor pronounced
the sore cancerous, and finally said no good
could be done,
unless the whole of the &eh.
was cut off and the bone scraped. Thank a
kind Providence, this made us resort to your
fills, which saved us from all further mis
ery, and for which we hope to be thankful.
