A wedding cereuSumy occuRed some
years ago of a then United States sesla-
tor, who, widower twice over, had f1,r
the third time succumbed to Cupid's
wiles. At his first and second marriage
the ceremony had been performed by an
Episcopal clergyman, and hence the SEN
ator was quite familiar with the Episco-
pal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was devout Presbyterian, and naturally
wished the connubial knot to be tied by
minister Of her own church, and ac-
cording to its simple service. To this
the statesman lover made no objection.
The character Of the service was Of
small account to him so long as it served
50 unite him to the object Of his adora-
ton, and the thought that he might
Dlunder in the course Of it never dis
turbed for moment the serenity Of his
mind.
But, standing beside his bride to be.
stage fright, as it might be called. seized
him. In the excitement he BEGAN to
marry himself, as it were, by the Episco-
pal service, repeating glibly: Il, -,
take thee, -, 10 be my welded wife"
and he would probably have gone on to
the end if the astonishea Presbyterian
minister, who Immediately appreciated
the situation, had not interposcd, and.
interrupting the bridegroom, performed
the ceremony with the brevity of the
Presbyterian form.
At the point where the perturbed
groom seemed bent on doing the business
for himself distinguished brother sen
ator present drew near to a lady, an
other guest, a close friend of his own
and Of the bridal pair, and whispered in
a plying tone;
Poor -. He's used to being mar
ried by the other service. Washington

An Apt Quotation.

Within hundred miles of Boston
there is a pleasant little Episcopal
chaple where services are regularly
conducted and where a cabinet organ
which stands at one side of the church
is played by a young lady from a
neighboring parish who kindly comes
in for the purpose. As the organ Is
situated at a somewhat inconvenient
place at one side of the chapel, and
as the young lady knows the service
Thoroughly well, she is in the habit OF
leaving the organ, when no music is
needed, and passing around to the
back of the room and sitting with the
congregation. At exactly the right
moment she leaves this place and re-
turns to the organ for the music.
The other Sunday, as she was seated
in a pew, she got her 'cue" in the
service, and rose softly to go around
to her post. AS she moved out oil
the pew her skirt caught upon ANAL,
and, with a tear that loudly echoed
through the chapel, her gown was
torn almost its entire length. She
was in confusion, but the minister d
course did not interrupt the holy
service. He was reading the morn
