The Centinel of Freedom January 19, 1819
Married, on Monday the 28th ult. Mr. Darby Daniel MacClean of this town, a pensioner, to Miss Margaretta S. Mackenna, of Rathfryland. The bride was to have been married on the same day to another lover one James Locke, and had arrived at an appointed time and place in Newry, where the ceremony was to have been performed. The favored swain, however, did not appear, and the lady's hostess in Bridge street communicated to her the lamentable tidings, that he was already married, and has gone, she believed, to visit his wife, then a prisioner in Armagh. Margaret wept, sighed deeply, and exclaimed, "Never will I return to Rathfryland unmarried: If I do not get a husband, I will drown myself, and this shall be the last day of poor Margaretta Mackenna!" "O, (said the hostess) I wish honest Darby Dan MacClean were here! He also is crossed in love, and talks of death. Perhaps he would marry you: "Tis better to wed than die." A word to the wise sufficeth. Margaretta speeded on the wings of love, to Darby's dwelling, whom she found pensively leaning on his arm, and ruminating deeply on his misfortune. "Why are you so sad, Darby," quoth Margaretta? "My love has jilted and deserted me, replied Darby with a sigh. "So hat mine," rejoined Margaretta with a sob. "I cannot, I will not survive it" quoth Darby. "I will either be drowned or be married today," murmured Margaretta. The voice was in unison with Darby's feelings; he looked wistfully on the dark, languishing, yet sparkling eyes of the lovelorn maid, and sympathized in her sorrows. Sympathy begets love, and love is gentleman usher to Hymen. The parties therefore determined not to drown but marry. Margaretta with her intended bridegroom, returned in triumph to her kind and sagacious hostess. Preparations were made for the wedding; and the bride insisted on paying the parson's fees from her own pocket. But Darby would not concede this point. "That, said he, would be to purchase me; and if you buy me you might sell me; but I'll take care of that". The friendly controversy soon terminated, and the happy pair now man and wife, like other fashionable personages, set off immediately after the ceremony. They mean to spend the honeymoon in connubial joy at Rathfryland.
