Now it's on Miller-the squire, We
mean. Sometime since a young fellow
called the judge one side and very con
! fidentially whispered in his ear thai
''there was money in il" and asked wha
would be the charges for doubling up
a young couple who had arranged to live
or die as one. The squire informed the
young man of matrimonial ideas, tina
the law allowed fec of three dollars fol
tying the COMMUNAL knot, but that Gus
tom frequently allowed u man who fel
as though he was getting the worth O
his money, to give as much more as III
desired, that in no case would any chang,
be given back. The young fellow wa
well pleased, said he would ante liberal
IL, and that the Judge should have th,
job, saying that the day would shortly
be set and due notice given. Now til
squire has considerable pride in REGARD
to business OF this kind, and in order t,
be ''up' in all the little surroundings O
such occasions, he purchased book Oh
J etiquette and all the different forms o
marriage ceremony he could find from
] which he made selections, until he ha,
ceremony which suited his taste w
} soon became aware there vas somethin
working on the judge-h.s haggan
) looks-his inattention To ordinary bu.
} iness was noticed by many; but tn
cause we discovered at last. The SOUR
r would spend hours every night, after Al
, else was quiet, in practising his part
he would marry imaginary couple
: would then salute the bride, and, in fac
, 90 through his part until he was u
doubteily prepared 10 marry a coupl
t in first class style When 10! a chang
: came over him, and all because the Il
had run of and married another fellow
: and that the would-be benedict had gon
lto-Texas. KENO.
