CHAPTER LvII....Anoor Wedding.
Mr.. Sownds the Beadle, and Mrs. Milf the pew
opener are early at their posts in the fine church
where Mr.. Dombey was married. yelowiaced
old gentleman from India. is going to take unto
himself Young wife this morning, and six carriages
full of company are expected, and Mrs. Milf has
been informed that the yellowfaced old gentleman
could pave the road to church with diamonds and
hardly miss them. The nuptial benediction Is to
be a superior one proceeding from avery reverend,
a dean and the lady 10 to be given away as an ex-
traordinary present. by somebody who comes ex'
Mrs Milf is more intolerant of common people this
morning, than she generally is and she has always
strong opinions on that subject for IL 10 associated
with free sittngs. Mrs Milf is not student Of po-
litical economy she thinks the science is connected
with dssenters Bsptists or Weslsyans or some
O. them" she says,l bat she can never understand
what business your common folks have TO be mar.
RED 'Drst en-" says Mrs. Milf, "you read the
same things over EN-, and instead OF soyereigns get
sixpences ~
Mr. Sownds the beadIe is more liberal than Mrs.
Miif-but then be is not pow opener. IL must
be DONE Ma am" he says Wemust marry EN-.
We must have our national schools To walk at the
he ad Of, aud we must have our standing armies
We must marry EN-, Ma'am, says Mr. Sownds,
" aud keep the country going.
Mr. Sowuds is sitting on the steps and Mrs. Milf
is busting in the church when young couple plain
ly dressed, come in. The mortified bonnet OF Mrs.
Milf il sharply tnrnod toward them, for she esples
But they don't want to DO married." Only" says
the gentleman I" 10 walk round the church" And
as he slips a genteel compliment into the palm oil
Mrs Milf. her vinegary face relaxes. and her NOR
titled bonnet and her spare dry figure dip and
crackle.
Mira. Milf resumes her busting and pumps up
her cushions-for the yellow faced old gentle nan
is reported 10 have tender knees-but keeps her
glazed, pewopening eye on the young couple who
are walking round the church "Ahem, coughs
Mrs Milf whose cough is dryer than the hay IN
any hassock ia her charge, "you ii come to US one
of these mornings, my dears, unless IN much mis-
takenw
They are looking at tablet on the wal, erected
10 the memory of some one dead. They are long
way off from Mrs. Milf, but Mrs. Mit can see with
half an eye how she is leaning on his arm and how
his head is bent down over her. w ell well,
says Mrs. Milf, "you might do worse For you're
tidy pair ~. ,,r
There is nothing personalin Mrs. Mifs remark.
She merely speaks of stock In trade She is hard
y more curious in coupes than IN collins. She is
such spare, straight, dry Old lady-such pew OF
woman-that you should find as many individual
sympathies in chip. Me-. Sownds' now, who Is
feshy and has scarlet his coat, is OF different
temperament He says, as they stand upon the
steps watching the young couple away, that she
has a pretty figure, hasn't she, and a. well as he
cosd see for she held her head down coming out
an uncommon pretty face. Altogether, Mrs Min,
say Me- SowDds with relish, she is what you
may call a rosebud
Mrs. Milf assents with q spare nod Of her morti-
fed bonnet; but approves Of this 30 little, that
she inwardy resolves that she wouldn't be the
wife of Mr. 5ownds for any money he could give
her Beadle as he is.
And what are the young couple saying as they
leave the church, and go out at the gate
Dear Walter, thank you! can 90 away
now, happy" -,
"And when we come back. Florence, we will
come and see his grave again"
Florence lifts her eyes, bright with tears, 10
his kind face; and clasps her diseDgaged hand on
that other modest little hand which clasps bis
arm.
1T is very early, Walter, and the streets are
almost empty yet. Let Us walk
bot you will be so tired, my love"
"oh mol | was very tired the first time that
we ever walked together, but shall not be so
today"
And thus-not much changed-she, as innocent
and earnest hearted-he, as frank, a. hopeful,
