The New Orleans Picayune says:
Wednesday night quite a fashionable
wedding was celebrated in the Fourth
District. The bride was pretty, as all
newlv married ladies are. and the groom
wus the glass o f fashion and the mould
of form. A number o f invited guests
lent gracf and beauty to the occasion,
and hearty congratulation testified the
good wishes o f the many friends for
the happiness of the new'y m irried
pair. Put the hours waned rapidly and
the time for retiring came at last. The
bride was led by laughing bridesmaids
up to her chamber door.
But imagine
their surprise when it was opened by a
lady richly and elegantly clad in a trav
eling suit, and evidently waiting for an
interview.
I beg pardon, madam; but you ap
pear astonished, said the str-nge lady.
I must confess I did not expect to
see any one here, replied the bride.
No. mad m i ; I came in very privately
an<l wished an interview subject to no
interruption.
It did not occur to the bride to inqure
by whom she had been introduced, or
by what means she had gained access
to her apartment.
It is very strange, ma’am, and I can’ t
imagine why you wish to speak to me !
The reason is simple.
The man you
have just married has imposed upon
you. la m his wife!
O h ! impossible— you rave! and the
lady sank into a eh • ir almost tainting
O f course the bridesmaids screamed.
It speedily brought the family to the
door with terror-stricken faces, and with
them the bridegroom, all asking with
trembling lips—
What in the world is the matter ?
O h ! Ed ward! cried the bride, this
person savs she’s your wife.
My w ife ! shouted the astonished
husband ; why. she’s insane.
The strange lady stood up calm and
unruffled.
Is it possible, sir, that having perpe
trated this great wickedness, you will
have the hardihood to deny that I am
your lawful wedded wife? she asked,
looking the sorely troubled Edward full
in the eye.
W hy , confound you, woman ! I never
saw you before in my life ! exclaimed
the astonish* d man.
The lady regarded him very much
as a minister would a person given over
to to»al depravity.
Oh ! Edward. I ’ m afraid it’s true!
and I love you s o ! sobbed the young
wife, how could you have treated me
so ?
I tell yon that I haven’ t got any wife
but vou— this woman is an imposter.
The strange lady uttered a low. mock
ing laugh.
The scene was getting in
teresting to the Iasi degree
The ladies
were all crying, and the fattier o f the
bride looking stern and indignant
He
had for some time intently regarded the
strange lady, when suddenly his eye
lighted up. and an amusing smile played
upon his lips. He took a step forward,
and laying his hand on the shoulder of
the stianger, said :
Come. John ; this is very cleverly
played, but it’s time it was over; and
Following the impulse o f his arm the
stranger was pushed into the hall.
John— who— what! exclaimed all
at once.
It was the bride’s younger brother;
a wicked chap who had played a naugh
ty prank, with the aid o f his sister’s
traveling suit and her cast off chignon
and curls.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that
harmony wuo «neodily restored.
