The Rev. Mr.. Jack, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church Of Hazleton, Pa, in
speaking of the marriage fees received by
clergymen, informed us, IN. Y. LegaerJ, a
few days ago, that he has never received
over S25 year from that source. lie says
he does not know why it is, but that on
such occasions people generally show their
mcanness: and that, too, at a time when
one would think they would be most liber-
ally disposed. On ono occasion a man whom
he married gave him a piece of brown pa
per. He expected to find the fee rolled up
in it; but on opening the paper there was
nothing there. At another time he married
man who said he had no money, but
would pay him in the course of few weeks.
lie has not heard from him since. Perhaps
this man was disappointed in his bride, and
did not think the marriage ceremony worth
paying for.
