A marriage took place on Saturday morning, at Annan, accompanied with previous circumstances that cannot, perhaps, be paralleled in the history of rivetting the hymeneal fetters. A journeyman tailor, of some notoriety in the local annals of gallantry, determined to take unto himself a wife; and imagining that his accomplishments rendered any previous courtship or intimation of his design to the fair one unnecessary, bespoke a room in a public house, and got every thing prepared for the celebration of the ceremony, before he sent for his bride elect, to acquaint her with the honour that awaited her. He, however, it appeared, had reckoned without his host; for though the girl who was sent for went to the public house, on the delivery of the message, she no sooner learned our hero's purpose, than she flew off at a tangent, and was no more to be seen. The determined tailor, though disappointed in this instance, resolved to carry his purpose of marrying into effect, at all events. He accordingly sent for another, who (he was sure) would be more kind. But alas! how vain and false do our ideas in such cases often prove! The second was as obdurate as the first, and equally insensible of the blessings intended her, followed the example of her predecessor, and took to flight likewise. Above being driven from his point by the pettishness of two froward girls he instantly laid siege to a third, who, more sensible of the merits of her lover, and the sweets of wedded love, capitulated in so short a time that the marriage was celebrated early the following morning.
