.m.TRIMoNIAL . SENSATION.
a RIcn WIDow AND AGED PASTOR FA1

FAIR. AND Twice FORTY.
Probably the greater number of the
inhabitants of Cold spring, Long Island,
are Baptsts, their pastor being the Rev.
Mr.. Vogel, who has officiated about
year gaining the good wishes OF one
part of his congregation and the intense
! dislike of the other. Last Sunday it
was announced that> the Rev, DR.. Jatf-
ray well and lavorably known in Brock
lyn, was to occupy the pulpit Of the
I Cold Spring Baptist Church, it being
understood that lir Vogel was aboutto
take a short vacation. The house was
more than well filed, for DR.. Jaifrays
fame had preceded him, but it was not
without some surprise that the worship
pers saw two ministers in the pulpit
; one being their own pastor and the
other the Brooklyn minister
y few minutes before the be9lnlng
of the services an elegantly appointed
carriage was driven to the door of the
house of worship, and the smallest boy
/ in Cold Spring knew that it contained
one of the wealthiest ladies on Long
Island. a resident of Oyster Bay, the
widow of the Rev. Mr.. Jackson. who
died about five years ago. after long
and faithful ministry in the Oyster Bay
Baptist Church. She is somewhat ad-
yanced in life having, indeed, been
wife for more than twenty years, and 4
widow for some months before she took
Mr.. Jackson tor her second husband,
( and accommodated him with an exceed
ingly small part of the handsome for
tune left her by her first, but though
more than four score years had passed
over her head she was still in possession
; OF considerable vigor.
About ten minutes before the close OF
the sermon Mr. Vogelstepped down from
the pulpit. and took seat by the side
OF Mrs. Jackson, and when Dir. Jatlray
spoke his concluding words his brother
minister took the widow by the hand
and led hor tothe altar. As they stood
there an opportunity TO observe them
together was presented. Their united
weight would probably turn the scale
at 400 pounds the pastor being at least
240. and the widow not less than 22o
Their are, Judging byappearance would
have aggregated lGO years; for though
the pastor was still in the neyday Of
his youth-hardiy scwnty-hve-She was
at least ten years older. Apparently
they well matched--a handsome and
portIy couple. The minister was dressed
in regulation black, but as he stepped
from the pulpit he had drawn on a par
of kid gloves of lighter colcr.
The couple were not kept long wait
ING. A few minutes after they had taken
their places before the altar Dr. Jatiray
took his position before them, read the
marriage service, and before God and
the assembled congregation pronounced
them as husband and wife.
There was no bungling over the re-
sponScs: no bashfulness or indecislon on
the part of either bride or groom-ln-
deed, it would have been strange If
there had been. for both had the adyan-
tage OF previous experience. The lady
as has already been mentioned, had
passed through the ordeal twice, ana
the minister was marrying his third
wife, having been separated from his
first and divorced from his second
