From the San Francisco Post a
They had terrible time at wedding
up at Petaluma the other day, and which
only goes to show how the smallest draw
back will sometimes take the stiffness
out of the SWEETEST occasion.
It seems that the ceremony was verv
grand affair indeed. There were eight
bridesmaids, and the church was crowded
from pit to dome, as the dramatic critics
would say. But when they got to the
proper place in the ceremony, and the
groom began feeling around for the ring,
he discovered that it wasn't on hand.
After the minister had scowled at the
miserable wretch for awhile, the latter
detected the magic circlet had slipped
through hole in his pocket and worked
into his boot. He communicated the
terrible fact In whisper to the bride,
who turned deadly pale, and was only
kept from fainting by the reflection that
they would inevitably cut the strings of
her satin corsage in case she did.
sWhy don't you produce the ring?"
whispered the brides big brother. hoarse-
ly, and feeling for his pistol, under the
impression that the miserable man was
about to back out.
81 can't. It's in my boot" explained
the groom under his breath, his very hair
meanwhile turning red with mortifca-
ton.
"Try and fish it out, somehow-hurry
up" mumbled the minister behind his
book.
"Iu try" gasped the victim, who was
very stout; and he put one foot on the
chancel rail, pulled up his trousers leg
and began making spasmodic jabs for the
ring with his forefnger. The minister
motioned to the organist to squeeze out
a few notes to fill in the time, while
rumor went rapidly through the congre-
cation to the effect that telegram had
just arrived proving that the groom had
four wives living in the East already.
"I-I can't reach it," groaned the
haf-married man, In agony. SIT won't
come"
:'Sit down and take your boot off, you
foolp' Kissed the brides mother, while
the bride herself moaned piteously and
wrung her hands. There was nothing
left for him; so the sufferer sat down on
the floor and began to wrestle with his
boot, which was naturally new and tight,
while fresh rumor got under way to
the effect that the groom was beastly
tight.
AS the boot came finally off, it's crushed
wearer endeavored, unsuccessfully, to
hide trade dollar hole in the heel of his
stocking; noticing which the parson, who
was humorous sort of sky contractor,
said grimly:
"You seem to be getting married just
In time, my young friend"
And the ceremony proceeded with the
party OF the first part standing on one
leg, trying to hide his wel-ventilated foot
under the tail of his coat, and appropri-
ately muttering "Darn it p at short in

Tardy Restoration of a Stolen Rinq.


Eleven years ago little girl living n
Dorchester was presented on her sixth
birthday, by favorite uncle, with a
little miss wore it few times; extraor-
binary care was supposed to have been
taken of it, but suddenly the ring was
missing, and thorough search could not
discover it. The other day the door
bell of the house from which the ring
was lost was rung, and by chance the
former little girl that had lost it an
swered the bell to find the postman of
the district with greasy-looking
envelope in his hand, addressed to her
mother, Mrs. H, DOrcaster," the
address scarcely legible, and the
envelope bearing no stamp. It might
easily have gone to the Dead Letter Of
fee, but the postman knew that he had
lady living on his route by the name
Gas near as he could make it Quiz on the
envelope, and thought he would try if
the letter belonged to her. When the
young lady took the envelope from the
postman he stated the foregoing circum-
stances, and also enjoined that the seal
must be broken in his presence, as there
appeared to be something beside writing
inclosed. In complying with the re-
quirements, much to the establishment of
the postman, the young lady suddenly
calculated loud enough to be heard in all
parts of the house, Oh! mamma, here
is my ring" 1t proved to be SO, the
ring lost eleven years before had been
returned in this way, and there was
nothing to show where it had come from,
and there are no grounds for any sus-
picion. Beyond a dirty piece of cotton
batting there was nothing but the ring in
the envelope; that was as fresh and
bright as when lost. Somebody's con-
science is clearer now, as the ring was
probably stolen.
