A recent writer says it is surprising
how infectious tears are at wedding
First of all, the bride cries because she is
going to be married; and then, of course,
the bridesmaids cry, perhaps because
they are mott and the fond mama cries
because she'll lose her d-d-darling; and
then the fond papa cries because he
thinks it proper; and then ell the ladies
cry, because ladies, as rule, will never
miss a chance of crying; and then, per-
haps, the groomsmen cry to keep the
ladies company, and all this band of
MODES seem rather to enjoy this Niagara
of eye-water. All except the brides
groom-we have never seen him cry.
No, nor even whimper.
