BROKEN OFF AT THE ALTAR.

The guest at recent expected mar
riage in q certain church on the West
Side we're treated to singular and
rather startling sensation. at the very
moment when the connubisl knot was
to be tied. The bride and groom
we're a young couple, and had made all
the necessary preparations for the an-
ticipated happy event that vas to unite
them as Que, and it Sas thought BY
the respective friends Of the pair that
the course Of true love had run quite
smoothly with them and genuine
mutual affection existed between them,
The invited company had entered tho
house Of worship, and the attendants
on the couple had taken their places
around tho altar, while the minister
remained in waiting to perform the
ceremony. fhe bride attired in all
the gorgeous fnery customary on such
occasions. ahghted from the carriage
and tho groom stepped blithly and
lightly after her and upon her long
trail. As be did so the fair lady utter
ed low cry and exclaimed, sharply:
"0h, dear how awkward you arc "
The young mans face colored as he
stumbled of tho rich garment, and hC
gave bis arm to the lady while laboring
under q confused mind. The pair
walked into the church and down the
aisle to tho altar. All eyes rested
upon their movements, and q murmur
Of voices arose as they came in and
took their positions before the mi uister'
The ceremony proceeded. The minis.
ter asked the bride il she would acccp,
the groom for her welded husband and
received the usual affirmative answer,
and was about to interrogate the young
man when the latter impulsivcly and
unexpectedly said to the bride: "Oh.
dear how awkward you arc! And
quickly turning Oh his heel, walked
out of the edi6cc without another word
Of explanation, leaving the astonished
bride standing at the altar 10 mute be-
wilderment, aud the minister and
guests in blank amusement. The
young nau went his way in carriage,
and the maids who sough. to comfort
her left the church for their homes.
The occurrence was an actual one, and
has created no small amount Of gossip
in the vicinity where the church is
situated,
