Marrying {. Bridesmaid.

A few weeks since, in the neighborhood
of St Barnabas, a lover conducted his in
tended bride to the altar. The marriage
ceremony proceeded with regularity until
the fair one was asked the question, "WI,t
thou have this man for thy welded 'hus-
band?" To which, with much apparent
sincerity, she replied, mo" The poor
bridegroom gazed upon her with astonish-
ment; but no exposlulation could induce
her to alter her resolution. She frankly
replied that she had just seen gentleman
whom she liked better. This declaration
soon brought matters to a crisis. The
marriage ceremony was suspended, and
the clergyman politely conducted the par
ties to different doors. The bridegroom
more disgusted with such conduct than
mortified at his disappointment, declared
! that his affections from that moment were
alienated, and that nothing should induce
him to take the the lady, even if her reso-
luton were to alter. Mr.. G. B., the lady s
own brother, finding him in such good
spirits, intimated that, as splendid din
ner would be prepared at his house, much
time and expense would be spared if he
would return to the church and conclude
the ceremony with one of the bridesmaids
The hint was instantly taken, and the pro
posals made, and as the fair one hersel
had no objection, special license was in
stantly procured, they got married a
the identical church on the identical morn
ing. and afterward partook of the idenlica
dinner which had been prepared for tli
changeable one.--Coart Journal.
