the VOUnr folks are u,atinr and mar
rvinn all ornnnJ -. II srep,s +, ha an
onij..,,,;,. ,.,,+.,,;,,, or co,ootb;r,
and fine few, t,1t. i ..who nevtn-
some of the "2cts sing sadly about mar
riage, but NEST everybody takes lively
interest in the perfurnla,lce. and it
looks less H." = funeral than ANYTHING
know Of. Only few days ago one of
the churches Was dressed in bridal
robes, and half the town gathered there
t, see and tn lear and to give good
wishes and cveryJntly felt so good that
they kissed Il! around and they have
been talking ahout the handsome con-
PIE and their bright prospects ever
since.
And i:!rrr iHas au";hcr one ycstei-
dav 1T another church. and tie Young
peoric nut IN again TO lend a heIring
hand. Nv vonr- folks saved at the
church all dav, with whole flock of
chatteriry birds, and they say they
wanted frame ior d wedding bell TO
hang in the center of the arch, and 50
I had to hunt an old bird cage and
take out the bottom and squash in the
top and make it bell-shaped, and then
got an old wash pan and cut out the
bottom and turned il INSIDE down and
fastened if securelv and m,da fret
class bell frame. The girls covered it
with evergreen aud roses and used q
large Gala lily for a clapper, and 50 it
was a success and I contributed nv
mite to the elysian show. There was
nobody crying that I observed, and all
went merry as a marriage bell.
T like the Episcoual MARRIAGE Ger
emour better than any one excent for
one thing that sometimes don't fit the
DOOR fellow when he has to say "yNith
all NV worldly goods 7 thee endow },
and perhaps he hasn't got ANYTHING but
a dog and a pocket knife It reminds
me of the fellow who wanted to omit
his wife and consulted a LAWYER as to
tie division of the assets. "Suuire "
said he. "sposin, = felIer what had
nothiu' married a GAL what had moth
in, and thev AGREED to omit one ALL
other, is his thincs hisen or hers hern
or hove"
