MORE WEDDING-sToRlEs.
We gave, acouple OF weeks ago. cotecnoa
of wedding-stoEes from Appetons' Journal.
The following is another batch from the Same
source: ..
4 Clergyman on one occasion waited for
couple in his parlor one, evening. and, Is they
did not Keep their engagement, he wentt to bed.
Just about half-past II O'Clock the door-bel rang
violently, He put cap and q wrapper On, and,
in state OF general undress, opened the second
story window and looked out. There stood the
tardy candidates for ma.rimony. "Well, it's too
iate now," said the clergyman, "and IT'S too
cold." "Yes, called up. the MAO, "hus We
missed the train, and I sail Tomorrow "Wel'
then. 70 to some other minister" answered the
irate parson. "We can't now, both shouted up
from the garden-walk, ~ IL it's too late" "Wel,
cannot marry you now," he said, "the
servant has taken the front-door key and
has gone to Sleep" swell then, marry Us out
OF the window" came up from below. and so
the miaiGter took the book In hand and called
out tho directions from the second-story case-
ment, and the parties complied With the ae Varal
orders. and finally loft the fee in an envelope
under the front door, aud went QUE o1 toe ba6-
deo-gate mau and Wlfe.
On one occasion clergyman, after pronounc-
ing the benedic.ion upon the aneeAns couple
pefore him, pus forth bis hand to congratElata
the yorng husbaDd, when he: with an indignant,
injured alt. waved his hand a"ay' say!nf " mo
same time: 'Ir Is al right; sr, the first groons-
man will attend to that" The same minister
has another story OF an old uncio who brought
his niece to the rectory on cold, RAINY Gay, 70
be- married, and who, after the ceremony was
oYer. fumbled about for two-dollar bill, and, not
beng able to find it. said, as he hanoed ina
pars9n tiye~dollnr note, ''Iake the change
out Of that for two-dollnr job; its kind o
nd-cold-lke to-day. and guess f"o ool1nts
will be about the thing"
The following story il unique in itself, sud,
though slightly bordering. on the aae1!eslous. Is
strictly true: a hospitable city Hector. IN tne
citv OF centennial glory, had Western German
missionary With MIN during some conventlon OF
clerical gathering. One night he went some
distance to marry coapfe Rt the hride Iatner
house, and. for companys SAFE, Inc western
brother went with him. Suddenly tue RECTOR

prayer-nook, and these people are Freabyteriars!
What shall do?" !'Vy, zura4y you knows ae
zeryize b7 dis dime" said the German brother:
:sGo on mltout any book!" ''Weh, let ua see:" !"
saii tho Clergyman, chow does it begin: we
will walk on; will repeat TIT. it; and yoa eh
vbole! d answered tho German. "'Desr-
IL beloved, ve are gathered here IN
:tiie siDht Of God snd in the face Of this com
tpany3' Tint is right2" said the minister
"Yaas." said the German. TO ]oln 70
gethor this man and this woman IN noiy na;, ~ a.
ouized the perplexetf Rector. ~ Vich: Let me

doas it co.? Oh, yaas - Fich, being 80 DIVINE
and comfortable thing to those who receive IL
yorthily, and so dangerous to them VINO pre-
sume to receive it nnrorthiiy--" "hold on.
D.a, !, said tha astonished minister. You have
cnnn into tbs communion service; can never
get straight now"
another mistake like this happeued to very
absenr-minded Clergyman, who stood up before
. bright roomful Of Joyous people: and began
the Wedding sarrice As follows: "Asn mai rs IS
and is full Of misery "Stop, stop! cried
out the astonlshea groom, 1--WE came here
to 10 married, not buried"
