TwENTY-sEvENC CENTS WORTH OF

The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did so at once, and found the
joint amount to be twenty-seven cents.

"Oh, no." said the parson; "you
don't pay for the size of the pill, but
for the good you hope it will do you. y
The lass, intent on marriage, began
to weep, but the parson was inexora-
BILE, and the couple turned to depart.
just then happy thought seemed to
strike the forlorn maiden, and she
turned and cried through her tears:
Please, sir, if you can't marry us
full up, won't you marry us twenty
seven cents worth? We can come
for the rest some other time.n
This was too much for the parson.
He married them @full up,n and they
went ON their way rejoicing.
