A BLIND-SUSSEX LOVE BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
We glean from a down State paper that on Wednesday last a youth who should be cut into a thousand tiny stars after the Juliet fashion, started from his home near Milford bound for the West. This youth, be it known, utterly deleted the "go west" of the late lamented sage, yet nevertheless with firm lip and sinewed step he moved on to Harrington. There his dauntless eye met the pleading gaze of a constable, who told him in trembling syllables that a young lady wished to see him before he moved an inch further towards the land of rag money and derringers. At the office of the Magistrate he met the fair Rosalind; a parson—the same one it is hoped who served so good a turn in Ardennes forest long ago, was called and, in a word, Orlando is still a Delawarean.
