a Rare Event.

Silver weddings are not uncommon,
but silver bctrothal falls to the lot of
few. A case of that kind is reported
from Berlin. The engaged couple first
pledged their troth in December, 1860.
The young lady's aunt, however,
threatened to 'cut her off with a shil-
ling" if She dared to get married. Con-
sequently, tho loving couple had to
forego their most ardent wish, viz: the
prospect of n speedy marriage. Still,
they remained true to their pledge dur
ing this interminable courtship. Not
long ago the obdurate aunt departed
this life, but by desire of the intended
husband the wedding was postponed to
enable the couple to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their be-
trothal.
