About a year ago a young man of rather erratic disposition commenced business of baker and confectioner in Parkhill, He was a goo.i. baker, kept a . nice, tidy store, and was bpparently do, ing well. He had the reputation of be- ing anxious for a wife. In fact, we are told. that several ladies in town had the honor et a proposal from him. How. evei he temadaed for- sontie time with " ne one to love, none to caress," eicept a tabby cat, of which he appeared. to be verf fond, and whieh. he adorned with eattrings. Whether this was done as an advertisement of how much he liked. pets, and as a certificate of character to the young ladies that he was of a fond and affectionate nature, and would. lav- ish his affections on them in like man- ner, only to a very much greater degree, we know netatnyway contin-u.ed with " no one to love,"—except his cat—un- til a few months ago, when a blooming young wofnan from Brantford made her appearance in town. It is.said. that our 'hero met this young lady at the kitchen door of her temporary itomicile as he was delivering bread, and. at 'that mo- ment, his fate was sealed. It was ap- parently a case of love at first sight ; and we don't wonder at the occurrence of this catastrophe to our hero, for the young woman. was handsome, rosy a,nd healthy looking ; but as the "being struck " appeared. inutual, we are 'some- what a,stonished at, the young woman's share of the eatastrophe, for whatever good qualities there were about our hero and. he had many of thena, very few would pick him out as. a man to be fal- len in love with. at first sight. However, within three days of this mutual dis.a co -very of affinity, the twain were inert ried.. It, is even said that mu; hero knew not his betrothed's name when he- went for the marriage license, and had to re- turn to her to find out. They were mar- ried Oil the 1st of August, and when the boys heard of it they gave thenaa dou- ble-barreled .charivari, and bon -fires were kept up -in hoaor of the occasion. The bridal trip waamade to Ailsa Craig; and on the following day our hero " sacked " his assistant, and he and his wife began their honeymoon. Every- hody congratulated him on his mum with so fair a daughter of Eve ; and ev- erybody looked Upon him aa one of the lucky MOUE who'never fall hat they fall on their feet. But—and now comes the sad portion of our tale. . Three short weeks only elapsed ore our hastily wed- d.ed baker found, or thought he found, th_at he had. made a mikake—that his wife was not what he had a right to ex- pect herto be. - So, without Warning of his inteiations,'he sent his wife home to visit her relations, and in the meantime settled. hia bills, sold out his business, and departed, no cup knows whither. The young wife ca,me hack the other day and discovered her " hubby's " de- sertiou, but is apparently of a philosoph- ical turn of mind and says she don't care. If he's that kind of a sardine, she's better without him, ap.d. there's as gotal fish in the sea as ever was caught. So ends this little tale for the present. We don't know wh.o is to blame for the • sad result of two billeted lives.. We hope the two may yet get together, aud. make the best of a mutual mistake.— farkhili.Gazette. e A Venerable HOtheStead. About1730 Maurice Moran and two sisters landed at Quebec, having come to -the new world from Bordeaaa, France, to find a home.
