A Silent Bride.
(From Lippincott's.)

(From Lippincott's.)
At marriage service performed
some time ago in a little country
church in Georgia, when the minister
said in a solemn tone: wilt thou
have this man to be thy welded hus-
band?'' instead of the woman answer
ing for herself, gruff mans voice
answered:
81 will"
The minister looked up very much
perplexed, and paused. He repeated
the sentence and again the same gruff
voice answered, Il will"
Again the minister looked UP sur
prised, not knowing what to make of
it, when one of the groomsmen at tie
end of the row said:
She is deaf. I am answering for
her"

dressmakers chattering without
ceasing as they fitted on my we'd
ding dress; of their standing off from
me at intervals with cries of delight
at the success of their efforts; of the
wind roaring in the chimney; of the
church bells ringing in the distance,
of the eYer-increasing moaning Of
the sea about st. Mary's Rock; and
finally OF the rumbling of the rubber
wheels of several carriages and the
plash of horses hoofs on the gravel

similar circumstances feel more

penalties that follow on d forced ana

came to me in the course OF the serv-

as wiped out for while all my sad
ness made me forget the compulsion
that he'd been put upon me, and lifted
me into realm OF spiritual ecstasy.
The bishop began a short litany
which asked Gods blessing on the
