A NUMEROUS SKETCH.
ONE OF THE WEDDINGS.
A few years since one pleasant day in
September, there arrived in Boston, the
great metropolis of New England, certain
couple from Vermont, who came to get
peacefully joined in the "Holy bonds of
matrimony." So soon as the happy couple
we're fairly ensconced, the would be bride
groom, who was rough, but apparently
honest specimen Of the "Green Mountain
Boys" Immediately sent for the proprietor
Of the hotel, who quickly answered the
summons.

who pointed to his ''lad y-love," far in the
corner of the parlor, ''this is my woman.
Naow we've come all the way from Var
mount and want to be hitched. Send for
the parson, will you? want it done right
strait off,
The landlord smiled and left the room,
but short time had elapsed before licens-
ed minister made his appearance, and the
obliging host and family were called in to
witness the s'scene."
"Naow, Mr.. Tie-em- together" said Jona-
than, ''do it up brown and yer moneys

stood up to his blushing lady-love, like a
sick kitten hugging hot brick seized her
by the hand. and was as highly pleased as
a monkey might be supposed to lie with two
tails.
"You promise, Mr.. -" said the min
ister, Ito take this woman"
"Yas," said Jonathan.

parson

..Yaas." Is.
That ysu YOU! will cling 70 her. and her only,
"Yaas. indeed. nothing else !" responded
Jonathan, in the most delighted and earnest
manner, but here the reverend gentleman
stopped short, much to the annoyance of the
bridegroom.
"Yaas, I said," added Jonathan
Zone moment. my friend" responded the
minister slowly, "for thought occurred to
me, that the law of Massachusetts cannot
permit these ceremonies without the obser-
vation of publication for a particular
length of time"
"Wot'n thunder's the trouble, minister !?
Don't stop, put'er thru. Nothin's split, eh
Amt sick, minister, be you"
Il say, my friend. I have come to the
conclusion that you cannot be married in
Massachusetts,

[ like her and she likes me, she said she
did ;-wot's ter hinder 2"
You have not been published, sir, /

At aint jest the thing, naow taint."
Il will consult -"
mo you wont-no yer don't consult
nothin and nobody till this ere business is
concluded; now mind I tell yer. !" said Jona-
than with resolution, and in an instant he
had turned the key in and out of the door
amid the laughter of the witnesses, who were
nearly choked with merriment.
''Naow say, mister as we ware," continu
ed the Yankee, grasping his intended by
the hand. "Go on straight from where you
left off," And here Jonathan crowded his
hand far down into his pocket and drew
from it an old pocket book, probably used
by his great-grandfather, as an inducement
for the reverend gentleman, and continued !:
"You cant come none of this half way
business with this child. so put'er thru. and
your moneys all ready, naow no lodging.
It'll be all right, by golly"
The parson considered moment. and
concluded to risk it at the sight of the we'll
crammed wallet of course He continued
'You promise --"
''Yaas," replied Jonathan.
The parson smiled and went on
''You promise, madam, to take this man
to be your husband. lawfully %
"Yaas, yaas." said the Yankee again, as
the lady bowed.
"You will honor, love, obey and
'Them's um," said Jonathan as the lady
bowed again.
"And that you will cling to him so long
as you both shall live p
'Tbots the talk % exclaimed Jonathan,
and the lady responded with Eyes" again.
Then in the presence of Him on High
and the witnesses, pronounce you man
and wife"
"Hoorah - shouted Jonathan at the top
of his voice, leaping nearly to the ceiling
with Joy.
And what God has joined together. let
no man put asunder."
