came running in, exclaiming, " Mister Parson, you shan't

reason for wishing to stop the marriage, when, on looking
round, she discovered that the party at the altar was not her
" son Tim." She then bowed to the minister, and walked out
of the church, still reiterating. " You shan't marry my son
Tim to that there slut." It appears, that while the old woman

been regularly asked in
church, they were married, much to the chagrin of the old
lady, when she was apprised of the circumstance.— Cheltenham

looking for favourable appearances on the commencement of the
new moon to-morrow. The prayer for fine weather was read
in several of the suburban churches yesterday,----Dublin Even.
