to say that the statement made relative

May his words long be remembered, and
better yet, put into practice
Since our reportorial neighbor of the
Union uttered that frantic appeal to the
young people of this town to bring this
"etcrnal counting" to a consummation,
we have anxiously awaited the results.
So not long since certain fond couple
decided to proceed to the parsons and be
spliced. Unfortunately the minister was
not at home, and so they bcguiled tho
tedious hours Of waiting by driving
through the principal streets, and on the
arrival of the person in quest precipi-
lately hastened to their fate. As they
passed the steps of certain edifice a
young lady and gentleman were standing
on the steps aforementioned, intensely in.
terested in the proceedings. Suddenly
the idea was suggested to them that they
"go and do likewise" So they went on
after them in much the fashion of cur
attached to the rear end OF an express
train, and we, your humble correspondent,
followed as rapidly as was consistent with
the racked and rheumatic state of our
limbs, determined to see the issue of the
fearful occasion. But 10, on arriving at
the parsonage one was afraid and the
other did not dare to, and like the old.
time maidens, minus the requisite oil.
they disconsolately waited without while
the others were united in the bonds of
eternal sorrow. So Leicester lost the
