SELECTED STORY,
THE FRONTIERS WEDDING
BY THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

One day, early 10 winter, my husband
received a summons to Burke's settlement
to unite couple in the bonds Of wedlock.
Ii was especially requested that bis wife
should accompany him, as we should be
expected to remain all night and partake
OF the festivities.
" lt was twenty miles 10 the settlement,
and we reached the log house Of Mr..
Burke, the father Of the expectant bride,
about noon. A dozen tow haired c5il
drsn we're at the door waiting our arrival.
They telegraphed the news instantly.
."Marm marin here's the elder and
his womanl They're nothing but folks !
She's got mans hat on and a turkeys
wing in front Of 1t his nose is just like
dad's,-as crooked as COW horn squash =
Alas for Mr.. Morrisons, aquiline nose,
OF which he was O little vain. ...
- Sam cried sbrill female voice from
the interior Of the cabin, "run out and
grab the rooster, and I'll clap him into
the pot. Sal, you quit that churn and

under the bed. Bill. you wipe that cheer
for the minister's wife and be spry about
