"Oh, certainly" said the minister;
"you should have a groomsman and

"Wha can we get, Jen, do ye think?"
The bride, thus addressed, suggested
female cousin whom the bridegroom
had never seen, and after consultation
a man also was thought of.
"Step ye ava alang, Jen, an ask them,
an I'll walk aboot till we come back"
Jen set out as desired, and after some
time returned with the two friends, the
cousin being blooming lass consider
ably younger than the bride.
When the parties had been properly
arranged and the minister was about to
proceed with the ceremony, the BRIDE
groom suddenly said:
"Wad ye bide wee, sir?"
"What is it now?" asked the minister.
"Weel, ! was just gaun to say that if

Of resignation to the inevitable. "Weel,

Ii is not recorded that there was any
