ANECDOTE.

An elegant writer has said, “that the period of our courtship is the happiest of our lives.”—If this position be true, it is impossible not to admire the prudence of a couple lately married, who protracted this period of felicity for thirty-four years. That they should at last think it necessary to unite in the bands of wedlock, is a striking proof that all human felicity must sometime or other have an end.

On Thursday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Linn, Mr. Samuel Low, to Miss Ann Cregier, both of this city.

When pure and unresisted thoughts conspire,

To be dissolv’d in love and warm desire—

The heart then melts with unaffected zeal,

The soul desires no other joys to feel.

Oh may this latter pair such raptures find

In Hymen’s bands as calm the wand’ring mind:

May pure affection choicest gifts bestow,

And crowns of laurels cause their hearts to glow.

On Saturday evening last, by the Right Rev. Bishop Provost, Mr. Walter Townsend, of this city, to Miss Jemima White, of Norwalk.

May bliss forever play around their heads,

Content be their’s, and peace unmix’d with care;

And all the joys that await virtuous deeds,

Center in my dear friends—this happy pair.

One that ne’er yet has known connubial bliss—

At verse a novice—now solicits Heav’n

To strew round you, in variegated dress,

All, all the blessings that to us are giv’n.
