No,--Thai !. very short word. II
/ has "A very short meaning sometimes.
II often blasts fond anticipaiions it may
change the whole tenor of life. In
matrimonial matters il woull be better
that It should be ollener said than il is.
Tor many of that sex sometimes say No
when they mean Yes. aud use the short.
er when they should not.
One Sunday evening. not many
nights ago, the Rev. Mr.. Thompson
performed marriage ceremony at the
Iabernacle--boll' parties said Yrs at
the proper time, and the Reverend gen.
tleman said Amen.
/ want you 10 perform the same
thing for me-" said well dressed,
youngish man to Mr. Thompson.
"Whcn Z"
" Now-right oil--to night"
Can't you put it off little ? 1t will
make it rather late"
No-ihc lady says now or never,

go?"
lesi Where is il?"
:" Close by'--only a few steps west of
the Park. We are all ready and will
way home"
Mr.. 1. went to the place, which was
a respectable boarding hoase aud every
thing eyinced dreornm. The lady
young aud pretty, neatly dressed, and
altogether desirable partner for the
gentemau--was presented, and short
prayer, as usual upon such occasions,
offered. and then hands joined.
You. with full sense of the obli-
gaiions you assume, do promise here in
The presence Of God AMI these witness

right hand you clasp in yours, 10 be
your lawful, welded wife, and as such
you will love and cherish her forever =

welded husband p
Not"
We have heard in times past, when
showers were fashionable, some pretty
heavy claps Of thunder but none that
ratllcd about the fympauum of that
bridegroom was quite 70 loud as that
stunning little monosy liable.
No, never will" said she most
emphalicaly, aud walked away proudly
10 her seat, leaving her almost husband
looking and probably feeling just the
least trife in the world foolish.
Air Thompson demonstrated, not to
induce her to change TINT No to Yes,
but for lriding wiIh bin in solemn
duty OF his calling, aud asked for an
explanation.
