Mits Warwick, of Scarr, in the parith of Ir- + 
thington. The bridegroom being a minor, 
had not yet afumed the Toga Viriisy and con- 
— fequently found it impoffible to obtain a li- 
cence without his father’s confent. This, 
however, not being procurable by the -moit 
importunare folicitstion, filial obedience, af- 
ter fome firuggles, yielded to the violence of 
Jove, and the enamoured youth refolved, in 
ipite of every obitacle oppofed by parental 
_authority, to accomplith his purpofe of being 
united to the obje& of his affections. The 
old gentleman, to prevent the execution of 
fuch intention, which, it feems, had come to 
his knowledge, determined to circumfcribe 
the liberty of his fon within the limits of his 
own apartment. But bolts and locks have 
ever been found unavailing barriers againf& 
the force of love. Accordingly the im- 
prifoned lover, as his dernier refort, afcends 
the chimney, and, having reached the top, 
flies om the wings of love to the habitation 
of his fair damfel, who, through a thick in- 
cruftation of dirt and foot, could not recog- 
nize the feateres of ‘her admirer, till his na- 
tive complexion was reftored by an applica- 
tion of foap and water © After mutual en- 
Gearments, and a foft interchange of fighs, 
the two lovers repaired, without lois of time, 
to Gretna Green, where they, as foon, pur- 
chafed the fervices!of one of thofe uieful

ta remove the anxiety of love-fick couples, 
occafiened_by insxorable pareats and unfeel- 
ing guardians.
