MARRYING I'm FUN.

There were some mOmentOuS calls
made on New Years Day by the resi-
dents of the lovely village OF klnderhook.
Some of its golden youth drove hence to
Chatham to see the New Year in at the
hospitable mansion of Miss Anna Clifford.
All went merry, MS not AS one, but two
marriage bells-as it turned out. The
fun was fast for awhile. But the parlor
games are not satisfying in their nature.
Young America is nothing it not auda-
cious. He hit upon an idea. "Sa-ay
tellers, let's have weddin'." The young
ladies said the idea was perfectly splen-

get married ?" 81 WILL" said young

two couple" And so young Mix stood
up. The choice of his partner was not so

Lizzie Dennis was finally persuaded to
personate the second bride. The places
of bridesmaid and groomsmen were very
quickly supplied, Upon Mr.. Cole, a
schoolteacher here, fell naturally the lot
of reading the marriage service. He did
it as one ordained TO the office. When
he said "Whom God hath joined together
let no man put asunder," the ladies would
have looked solemn, if the young gentle
men had not just then been insisting that
no wedding ceremony can be complete
without kissing the bride. Soon after the
village church bells had rung their Cen
tenuial chimes the youthful party drove
gaily to their homes.
The ladies gave animated descriptions
next day Of the loveliness of the brides,
and the solemnity Of the ceremony. 1t
had looked, they vowed and declared,
just for all the world like marrying in
real earnest; if they were going to get
married to morrow they wouldn't ask to

Cole had done it. "What, not the Rev.
Mr.. Cole, here ?" asked mamma.-
