red the "Way TO the minister's" On
reaching the house, John made known
his errand, which was no other than to
have the rite of holy wediock perform
ed. The reverend gentleman was just
leaving to perform service of another
kind, and suggested that the parties
should wait his return. But John was
in hurry, and tho minister, thinking
he could make short case of it, con-
sented to tarry; but the bridegroom
was not quite ready. His trunk was
out on the platform, and said he, ad-
dressing the minister
"'Spose you just help me in with it,
On getting it into the house, he ad-
ded- gs,.. a,ag
"Just help me up stairs with it; Eliz-
abeth wants to dress" This was also
done. "And now" said be to young
lady present, as he descended "'spose
you just go up stairs and help Elizabeth
Dress" ~ H-
Surely such a request could not be
denied. The lady was dressed, and her
toilet made; as she was about TO de-
scend, she bethought herself that Johns
wedding "rig" was in her trunk, and
she would thank the young lady if she
would "take itinto Johns room, and
call him to get ready" -aFs'a
(. The rig was accordingly taken into
an adjoining chamber, and the BRIDE
groom showed "where he might make
ready" This occupied time. But at
length the parties descended, and taking
their stations, the service was about to
commence. At this instant John fled
off to a distant part Of the room, where
the young lady was sitting, and said to
her,
"Come now, 'spose you just go and
stand up side of Elizabeth; it will make
her feel better"
The lady acceJed. The two were
soon made one flesh," and the clergy
man left. It was expected, Of course,
that the happy couple would take the
latter train and proceed on their way
that night. But all hurry was now
over. The parties seated themselves
and seemed al home. AT length 'Joan;
spying piano, said to the young lady,
still in the room ,-
"Come now, 'spose you give US
tune on that thing there"
The lady complied; it was a senti.
mental song. and the bridegroom was in
rapturcs.
"Never heard such q right down
good thing in all my life; aud now,
'spose you go right through it again"
Itwas repeated; about this time the
car-whistle announced the approach Of
the train. They were informed; but
John said he had no thought Of going
from such confounded good place that
night" They stayed; in the morning
they took the early train, and just as
they we're leaving, the generous and
grateful bridegroom slipped si'cer DOL
lar into the hand of the clergyman, his
eyes opening and glistening like the ri
sing sun. q
