HOW HE FOUND THE PLACE.
Not long since the worthy pastor of one Of
our city churches, who combines divinity
and wit in wool as bright and rich as a
cloth Of gold, was called upen one evening
by nameless gentleman and Informed that
his services would be required ut al early
hour in the morning for peculiar and de-
lightful duty, and took his leave.
Bright and early the reverend gentleman
was ready and waiting, when carriage was

got down, opened the door, and with most
sober countenauce said: "There,s a teller
courtin gat here you might try the place"
And the dominic did try it, and found the
precise place his services were needed by
two anxious anu palpitating hearts, which he
quickly bound together in the indissolubie
bonds of matrimony After the services
were concluded, the story was told, and a
happier, jollier laugh has seldom been heard
