day Evening.

The old man, the cd woman, the
youth, the maiden. the preacher aud
the "kid" all delight in wedding
the former because there is a sweet
Renaissance Of the days of ''auld lang

tuneful peal to the rhythm of their
own happy hearts, the youth AMI
maiden because in the song of Cupid
there is perchance a wedding for
themselves, the preacher because he
anticipates a generous fee, or mayhsp,
in nobler spirit, realizes that he is
the Instrument by which another
home-earth's fiitest type of heaven
is assured and the SIX d" because he
will for once be allowed all the cake
and other "filling" dainties which his
ostrich-like stomach is always banker
ing for.
