MARRIAGE SHoRN OF PoETRY.-The
Rev. D., a Methodist minister, station
ed at Meadville some years ago, one
evening received a note informing him
that a couple living in the suburbs of
the city desired to be united in the
bonds of matrimony, and requested
his services at 8 O'Clock in the morning.
AT the proper time he went to the house
designated. He inquired of a young
lady who was busy washing dishes if
there was a couple there who wished to
be married.
81 am the lady," said she, blushing.
''John will be in in "A moment"
The minister was surprised to see no
preparations, and stepped to the door to
view the surroundings. Two men were
hard at work grinding scythes in the
yard and another, who proved to be
the "John," was tending cow and
calf. The young lady came to the door
pretty soon and shouted.

her apron, and after joining hands, said
they were ready. The minister proceed
ed, and had just got through question
ing the young man when the old lady
rushed into the room, shouting:
"John, John, you didn't turn the COW
away from the calf!'
He let go his sweetheart's hand in-
stantly, and rushed into the barnyard,
put the old COW through the bars, and
then returned to the house, again took
his position, when the remainder of the
ceremony was performed. The minis
ter went on his way, John went to the
hay field, and the lady resumed hel
dishwashing.
