us OF an amusing experience in his profess
sional life in a Vermont town. An old

times came TO him to be married again,
bringing bride-elect who had had one

having been performed, it only remained
to give the preacher q fee. The groom
began diligent search for the needful but
failing to find the satisfactory sum, turned
to the bride aud asked il she had any
change with her, but all in vain. Whether
she had been totally drained of change by

her and forgetting to return, after the man
ner OF some husbands, or whether she had
grown TO be too wise an old bird to be
caught in that trap again, it was not given
the parson to know or tell.
