An Interesting Marriage Incident.
Sunday last, at the Monumental church, which
ands upon the site of the theatre that was
destroyed in 1911, after the close of DR.. Wool
bridges eloquent sermon, to the surprise of the
congregation, young and handsome couple
approached the altar unattended. The gentle
man stated they belonged to the Academy of
Music theatrical company, and had come to
get married.
DR.. w. not being of the Sabine school, and
rather admiring the ancient Roman simplicity
of the thing instead of referring the anxious
couple to the "Little church around the cor
ner," proceeded to perform the "funereal c.re-
mony,' and soon united them fast in Hymen's
happy bonds. We rather like the way the
thing was done. That pair were evidently
marrying for their own benefit and not for mere
grandeur. There was no long array of at
tendents, or display of bridal trosseau, and we
believe they will feel just as happy as if their
wedding had been as grand as that of the
Sheridan. Motley affair.
