themselves at the mayorality in a
suburb Of Paris to carry out the
civil portion of their marriage con-
tract. They ranged themselves on
opposite sides of the mayors Off
cial throne and faced one another.
The mayor was asking a question
of one Of the bridegrooms, whose
attention was thus distracted from
his bride. On turning round to
look at her when he had answered
the question, he caught her making
"sheep's eyes" at The bridegroom
opposite. Being Of a jealous tenn
perament, he laid his hand roughly
on her arm and said, sharply,
" Mademoiselle, which of the two
brides are you? You are mine, |
believe; then oblige me by confn-
ing your glances to me-" The bride
was a young woman of spirit, and,
resenting the tone in which the
reprimand was made, retorted, "Ah,
Monsieur, if you are jealous already,
| am likely to lead a pleasant life
with you" The jealous bridegroom
made an angry reply, and then the
other bridegroom must needs put
his oar in. "Pah! Monsieur, why
should you make such d fuss be-
cause Mademoiselle chooses to favor
me with a glancer Thereupon his
bride turned sayagely upon him
and exclaimed, "Ha, Monsieur, 1t
would seem, then, that you like
to have ladies make eyes at
you! Now, | know what to expect
from you; but you might
at least have had the decency
to keep this proof of your faith
lessness concealed from me here"
And with this fierce thrust she
burst into tears. In vain the mayor
attempted to pacify both parties.
The bridegrooms stormed at each
other, and the brides, between their
hysterical sobS, mutually accused
each other of perfdy. At last the
mayor losing temper cried out,
f" Am to proceed with this cere-
mony, or am | not:?" The two
brides, with one accord, screamed,
f" No" Perhaps" said the mayor,
whose wrath had again cooled down,
you could arrange matters be-
tween you if you we're left alone.
The clerk will show you to my pri-
yate room. / will give you half an
hour" at the expiration of that
time the parties were summoned to
appear again before the mayor,

ences?" he asked. Yes, Monsieur

silent amazement for a moment or
two, but they met his look un.

matrimony attends it. The fetterS
of married life are unknown. Az
fection and the penny post aunihi-
late space and time. Love hovers
by the betrothed pair and waves his
purple wings and upholds his torch.
If protracted engagement pos
sesses (as does every state of life) its
own disabilities, what other cSndi-
tion can vie with it as regards the
charms of hope? Behind lies a
desert, the time during which the
devoted pair did not know each
other; far in front lies an enchanted
land.
