WEDDING AT A RAILWAY STATION.

Baltimore has had what it calls a romantic wedding at Camden Station. A

few moments before the departure of the outbound Washington train, a

gentleman accompanied by a lady and another gentleman, whose clerical

appearance indicated his profession, alighted from a carriage and entered

the depot. Upon the locks of the leader of the party the snows of fifty

winters had evidently fallen, while the lady had apparently reached that

age when she is supposed to have lain aside her matrimonial cap. Quietly

approaching the officer on duty within the station, they asked for a room

where a marriage ceremony might be privately performed. The request was

readily granted, and under the leadership of the obliging officer, the

party was conducted to the despatch room, a small lobby in the eastern

part of the building, where in a few minutes the twain were made man and

wife. With pleasant smiles, and a would-be-congratulated look upon their

countenances, they mingled with the crowd in waiting; and when the gates

were thrown open, arm in arm they boarded the train, their

fellow-passengers all the while ignorant of the interesting ceremony.
