trothal had lasted for 80 years When
the man was % years of age mar
riage between the pair was actually
arranged, but at the last moment an
affiuent aunt on whose fortune they
had been counting interposed with
the threat of disinheritance in case
this particular union should take
place. Accordingly the wedding was
postponed till the obstacle should
have been removed 1t was not long
before the aunt died, but when her
will was opened it was found that she
had bequeathed her possessions to her
nephew only on condition that he did
not marry the girl of his choice for
at least another 80 years. With COM
bination of fidelity and prudence
which is deserving of wonder, If not
of admiration, the couple calmly set
themselves to wait out this term. 1t

had to take place in the house OF the
bridegroom, who is now confined TO
