The contracting parties first met at Arnold’s park where the young lady was employed as a dining-room girl, and, ‘tis said, that the groom was first attracted by the kindness of the girl, who, when he was helpless, was so accommodating as to lace his shoes, which favor the other girls had refused, though he pleaded his inability to perform this service for himself, owing to lumbar rheumatism. The infatuated gentleman proposed marriage and in order to fit her for the position of wife placed her in a good school, he taking up his residence near.
