Rev. Samuel Durborow is one OF Boston .
city missionaries. Since 1S49 he has unit
ed in the bonds of wedlock 2,154 couples
| OF this number 800 were married at his
house. This is probably the largest num-
Der of couples ever married by any one
Clergyman in that city. A Anewspaper man
was looking over the private register the
other evening, and the memories OF many
incidents caused o smile TO light up the
features Of the genial knot-tyer
"By the way, there's funny case, " said
the parson, pointing TO . brace Of names
on the register "but you must not pub
liSh any names. That would never do. :"
The reporter promised, and the clergy
man proceeded. "Well that young couple
came to me to be married. and tied the
knot for them, and they went away; but
they didn't live together for nearly two
years because the girls mother did not
want her daughter to be married. This
was up in Norristown. After the lapse Of
two years the mother gave consent TO her
daug marriage, and the husband
came after me to marry them over again.
! told him it was unnecessary, that he was
already married; but le protested that he
had plenty OF money. and it would make
the old lady feel better TO SEQ them mar
ricd than to tell her that her daughter was
already his wife. So took my gown and
went to the brides house and they were
married again; and the mother was as hap
py as bird / knew there was no harm
in tying them over again, and it saved
many unpleasant feelings ii
''There is another similar case, which
happened in this city. One night there
came knock at the basement door, and
when il was answered lady came in and
said that she had seen no witnesses 10 the
marriage; she had lost her certificate and
she did not know where TO find the minis.
ter who performed the ceremony She
said she wanted TO be married sgainand in
the presence Of witnesses. So told her
to bring her husband in and / would
marry them again She came back soon
afterward with her husband, and put ON
my robes and went through the ceremony
again. When IL was over the husband
threw down a s. gold piece. refused to
take anything, but he insisted, and then
thought would make il as light AZ posi-
bic for him, aud 80 handed him back
". so gold pieee. No. he snd. pushing
il back again, she is worth as much now
