A RETORT AT Till ALTAlL—Recently, in a rural
district of Eases tending towards the coast, certainly not
more than filty-three miles and dues quarters from Latch-
ingdoa—we do not like to spook very positively as to mea-
serneents—• worthy thatcher had hen employed by the
curate of the pariah in clothing his roofs sad making matters
secure end water-tight about the homestead. As thatchers
an but men and are, moreover, in the habit of damping
themselves as well as their straw, the pulse of the pastor had
been repeatedly drawn upon in the coarse of the work, till at
lengtb, drawing the strings thereof tightly together with
atom hem, he tied them in a double knot; and when the
Imes applied for a farther advance of the current
aria, be responded to the appeal—" Nn, when you,
have 1111110 year jeh, you shall have your money." Now the
thatcher, Aber an stack-tcp or other exposed situation, had
he.. struck by a pair of bright eyes ; the lady's circum-
stances were passing; sad after due preliminaries the pair
pummel themadves to the curate at the alter. Steadily the
osremony proceeded up to the productien of the hoop el gold,
whoa the minister, *trimly following the directions of the
rubric, as It seems is the custom thereabouts—required him
to " lay It upon the book with the accustomed duty 10 the
priest and clerk ; " in other words, demanded the
mat when the bridegroom, thinking a like principle lat 7:
apply to thatcher and curate, replied—" No, when you have
done your job you shall have your money." The irreverent
retort, and the refusal to let the curate draw on account, cut
short the marriage ceremony. The book was closed ; and
the willing pair, though their dwelling pleas are not far
render, still remain only half married.—Essex Herald.
