PROMISING ITO MARRY TIE GIRL.-We,
yesterday, heard rather a good story on one of
our city ministers During last winter a
revival was in progress in one of our country
ckarchcs near the city. Among the regular
attendants ons the meeting was a beautiful a nd
estimablc, sbnt rather unsophisticated young
lady, whose friends were very anxious to hayo
her unite with tho church.
She seemed, however, reluctant to do so,
and the minister in question was requested to
"talk to her." This hc did several times on
one occasion saying in a jocular manner,
1Sliss NM5-,ifeyoua will join the church, I'll
! marry yeu,3 lssaeening ssheIwould perform the
ceremony. The girl seemed pleased with the
proposition; tle; and u few evenings after, walk
edssupttto the alter and united with the
church. .ifsSs
Several, weeks after this the minister
preached at the church, and, after services
met the young lady. 'Brothcr-,'said she,
/ 'you know you promised to marry me if I'd
join. the church. Are you going to do SO?
Idon't sl want to wait any longer" The minis
ter saw his dilemma and attempted to explain.
"is'mcant! q would perform tho CEREMONY he
said chats all. I cant marry you myself,
for | am already married, and love my wife
TOO much to desire to swap her off for an
others"S se.a,ss. d 80, i.
The young lady became indignant, declared
ti.ats he'dssleaye the church, that she "novcr
did have much faith in these town preachers
Our ministerial friend declares that he will
sneyef s's again use any other than plain scrptur
q argument to induce young lady to join
the church.--Ncp Albany Daily Commercial

And each to know, you only sec,
What company he keeps,''
The man slept on, his giddy brain
Of sober thought bereft; a
But still the slur produced pain
