A simple and touching sight might have

fashionable and largely attended wedding

few, stood youthful couple-a mulatto
girl and her equally juvenile and equally
dusky sweetheart. The two appeared in
tently watching the ceremony going on in
front of the altar, and copied each move
ment made by the bride and bridegroom
whom the priest was making man and
wife. AS they knelG down, so did the
other couple kneel, and when the fault
lessly attired bridegroom placed the ring
on his blushing brides finger the young
mulatto did likewise, only his ring was of
metal and his bride was less fair At
length, when the procession emerged
from the church the humble couple fol-
lowed, looking as if they thought they
were quite as much married as their
more fortunate brethren. IL transpired
that such was, indeed, their belief The
two lovers. who are models" known to
many artists here, had no money where

daughter TO the fact that the home Office
