WHAT THE TowNs-PEOPLE SAID
DR.. Hedermann so hurried on the pnbl-
cation Of the banns aud the marriage. that
in one month after the evening we have
just described he led his own Ingeborg ins
to his own house as his wife, and he made
Iugeborg's mother such handsome presents
on this OCCASION that she almost forgot to
sigh because he was not nobleman
Ingeborg's cheerful and consoling words
to her mother, 1--WE shall soon come and
see you again, mamma !" had very little
consolation in them, as she heheld Ingeborg
placed in a covered carriage wrapped up
in a cloak of the doctors, who then stepp.
ed into the carriage, and away it drove
rapidly with them-nobody knew where !
Mrs Uggla would have distressed her
self horribly at this sort of abduction, had
not Mimmi Svanberg, who was present at
the wedding, aud had been admitted into
the plot. cOmforted her somewhat by the
assurance that this mode Of procedure was
modern and universally practised in Eng.
land and America, and would soon be the
fashion in this country also. Mimmi Swan
berg laughed SO heartily at the whole thing,
aud talked so about the story of Pluto and
Proserpine, that Mrs. Uggla really began
to think that the affair was not so terrible
after all, and was ready to smile at Min
mis- joke, promised not to trouble herself
at all as to what the Kungskoping people
might say about the matter.
The Kungskoping people were not very
well pleased with the wedding, which was
carried on so quietly and silently that they
bad hardly time to know anything about it
before it was all over, and the doctor had
gone off with his wife. And when the new
married couple after few weeks absence
returned to the town. and instead of pay
ing visits or sending out great invitations,
as the Kungskoping people had calculat-
ed upon, continued to live wholly in still
ness, occupying themselves with the poor
and the sick Of the town, rather than with
its wellto-do inhabitants, the people of
Kmgskoping began to grumble, aud say
all kinds of things about meanneSs,. aud
want of knowledge of life,' and that the
doctor was a tyraut to his wife, and that
she would he very glad to see people if she
dared : and in short, it is impossible to say
what other extraordinary reports might
uot have been circulated by the townsfoks,
with their corsair Mrs Tupplander at their
head about the new-married couple, who
did not behave like other people,
But we will now return to our Kings
kopug, to relate an occurrence which took
place there, during the time of Yngve'S
visit to his native land after his frst short
absence abroad, and before his second long
and sorrowful one.
ANOTHER WEDDING.
Silent as loves wedding which united
Amaia Hard with Yngves brother. They
were married by the well-known little pas
tor Yngve aud Hertha alone were pres
ent.
After the ceremony was ended, a moth
er bent over her sleeping child and whis-
pered /; MY child sleep now peacefully !;
sleep sHeetly no one honceforth will re-
proach thee God has forgiven thy moth
er =
And thy father also = said low manly
voice, and with that Yngve's brother laid
nlS nanu on Vne OOy S ueau.
When Amalia rose she was clasped in
Hertha's sisterly embrace. After that
Amala's husband led her up to Yngve, say
ing, Let US both thank him, who taught
me my duty towards thee and our child,
and who rendered it possible for me hence
forth to raise you up
Yngye's brother was handsome young
mo hut of tua,Ear nh fho,, hic
elder, manier brother.
Let us now eat and drink on the affair =
said the little pastor cheerfully, because
there cannot be real Swedish wedding
without both eating and drinking and it
does not do to hurry over marriages as
those mad people, the English and the
Americans, do ; just get the ring on the
brides finger, then into carriage, and
drive away to the worlds end No let
us follow our forefatherS jog-trot manners;
they never forgot, on any suitable occasion,
the bridal feast ?
And with that the pastor led the little
company into the schoolroom, in the middle
a well-covered table, at which Mimm Swan
berg aud the pastors wife were very busy.
This was surprise for Amalia and Her
tina. But there is no need for US to say
how agreeable was the entertainment, spic-
ed as it was with goodwill and cordiality.
On the afternoOno of the same day, Yngve
departed with his younger brother, the
former to be recalled by Hhertha when
ever she could give him the hope Of ia
vorable turn in their affairs as regarded the
future.
The people of KungSkoping, who in our
story occupy the place of chorus in the
Greek drama. made many edifying and NOR
al reflections upon this marriage, which up
on the whole was approved of, as quite in
order, although Mrs. Uggla and many 9th
er good souls shook their heads as to its
future prospects. Amalia in the meantime
rose in the regards aud favor of the town,
enmity was stranded upon her good conduct
and the steadfastness of her friends.
The good, pastors had now the happi-
ness of having two daughters in the house,
'and that is something said she.
The town was rebuilt, and the family
unions extended and AouriShing thereby,
knitting up relationship between the veal
thy and the poor knitting up here and
there among its members real union in
marriage, or a bond of friendship, such as
