ECCENTRICITY OF A BRIDEGROOM.—On Monday last,
a wedding party arrived at Bishopwearmouth Church.
It consisted of a pretty bride, a stalwart but somewhat
sheepish-looking bridegroom, and one or two of their
particular friends. As they proceeded up the aisle, the
bridegroom looked wildenngly on the varied tints thrown
from the stained-glass windows. On reaching the altar
he could stand the scene no longer. Giving one amazed
look around him, he made a clean bolt from the church,
as fast as his legs could carry him. The lovely bride
speedily recovered her self-possession, and gave chase
to the frightened swain. After a short but vigorous
pursuit, she collared him, and finally coaxed her recu-
sant—whose love was, after all, more potent than his
terror of "the dim, religious light"back to the altar.
But the priest had departed, not choosing to await the
accidents of the chase ; and the luckless pair could not
now be married before the morrow. They walked about
for some time, got the awkwardness talked over con-
fidingly, and arranged to be married without blunder
next morning. The morning brought a new disappoint-
ment. The bride, who had shown herself the best man
throughout was the first at church. The male figure
shortly following, looking resigned. But, on a third
time reaching the altar, they were informed that as it
had been ascertained that they did not belong to Bishop-
weannouth parish, they could not then be married in
that church. The pair then took their way to Seaham
in pursuit of marriage under difficulties ; and we hope
they will there be successful and happy.—Sunderland
