81 hope, Dennis" he said to the
coachman, with his license in his
hand "you have well considered
this solemn step in Iife."
81 hope so, your riyerencc,' an
swcred Dennis
Its very important step you're
taking, Mary said the minister.
"Yos, sir, ! know it ls," replied
Mary, whmpering. perhaps we
had better wait awhile"
Perhaps we had, your reverence"
chimed in Dennis
The minister, hardly expecting
such a personal application of his
exhortation, and seeing the Eve dol
lar note vanishing before his eyes,
botook himself to q more cheerful
aspect Of the situation, and said
Eyes, of course it's solemn and
important, you know but it's u very
happy time, after all, when people
love each other Shall we 20 on
with the service ?"
Eyes, your riverence," they both
replied, and they were soon made
one in the bonds of matrimony, and
that young minister is now very
careful how he brings on the SOL
omn view of marriage to timid cou-
pies.
A party came to q clergy's house
one evening to be married. Every
thing went on tremendously until
the woman came to the word obey
in the service. Here Il balky scene
ensued.
"Nover-never r she said 81
did not know that word was in the
service, and / will never say It'll"
"0h, dear, demonstrated her
partner, "do not make trouble now.
Just sag it--say it, even ifyou don't
mean it, Say it for my sako--tor
your dear Johns sake
"Never.-never p insisted the
high-spirited dame. 81 will not say
what do not mean, and | do not
mean to obey, You must 90 on,
sir, she added to the Clergyman,
without that word"
"That is impossible, madam"
replied the minister. 81 cannot
marry you unless you promise to
love, cherish and obey your hns-
band"
won't you leave US for little
time together p iaterccded the
young man. 81 think | can man
age her after awhile"
So the minister went back into
his study, and wrote on his sermon
for an hour and half, and finally,
at a quarter before ten o'clock,
there
80 s. -" came tapping,
As OF soulc one gently rapping,'
And the mild.mannered Benedict
informed the parson that at last,
after long wrestling OF spirit, his
dear Jane" had consented to say
"obey." But how that compromise

| have deen heard this same cler-
gyman relate how, after a wedding
ceremony on one occasion, when
occurred in his own parlor, the hus-
band whispered to his hrand,new
bride, as they approached the door,
"Mary, have you got any small
changer"
The old Swcdes' church in Phlla-
delphia was the famous marrying
ground for nearly two hundred years
TO all the neighborhood and churches
in that vicinity. The record book
of that venerable parish is teemlng
with marriages. There has to be
an extension made to that depart
ment in every new egister Notes
and memoranda adorn the pages OF
the "wedding columns explanatory
of the different couples. one Ger
gyman kept a list of foreign sailors
with q wife very probably in every
large port) and runaway country
girls whom he had refused to phlte
in matrimony because of his suspl,
cions, or because of the latenessS Oh
tho hour or of the absence OF wit
nesses. Colored weddings have al
ways richly humorous side The
colorcd race is susceptible, imlta'
tive one, and when they are hne' rs
at weddings, they are generally

man, II will try to do everything III

So, after the dinner and dancing
