Queer wedding Music.

The following incident happened in
fashionable English provincial
church week or ago, and was, ap-
parently, not noticed by anybody in
the congregation. The music for the
occasion was furnished by a relative
of the bride, a somewhat nervous gen
tleman, shy of manner and near of
sight The bridal procession entered
to the gladstone melody OF one of the
two or three wedding marches, with
out which a fashionable wedding is
hardly recognized as legal. When they
had reached the channel rail, the or
ganist rose to watch the ceremony
His eyeglasses fell from his nose, and
his nervous feet trod upon them OF
course they were broken When the
ceremony was ended, the organist-
OF sudden he realized that he could
not see his music well enough to play
the bridal occasional he had intend
ed A cold perspiration believed his
brow There was no time to be lost.
He could play but two marches from
memory. One of them, the musician
thought, was quite out of harmony
with the sacreGness of the building, SO
he chose the other, and the beaming
bridegroom and his bride swept down
the aisle to the most familiar move
