The parties place their pro- posal of marriage in a written form, which is referred to the society of which they are members, and is acted upon at a “Preparation Meeting” thereof. Ifall the attsndant circum- stances are in every respectin ac- cordance with the views of those present, the proposal is approved, and then introduced at the monthly meet- ing, where itis again passed upon and a committee of investigation into the characters, habits and the engaged twain circum- stances of is appointed. each consist of two members of BEX The committee, after a most thorough | “Why Horace,” exclaimed his mother, examination and investigation, makes | its report, generally at the succeeding “monthly meeting.” This ends the preliminary arrange. nt, procee 1 me andthe twain are at in the accomplishment of , & committee of tWO of by 18 orderly appointed meeting to see that it the marriage certifl wa “Gentlemen, | am pers s gentlemen have beer tible action. 1d 4 that some ns who « ntemp against tleman, bt will lead f the person or persons who t horse up in my room bated had listened with Profess * Was Lhe fication of cl noocen man personally Professor and dastardly. —— WHY HE WEPI wi t the Amon pan ramic g the cr present a battle of Gettysburg the other evening was a boy about 15 of He had und him for fift VCASH age, been gazing minutes when fact y a gentleman said: I'his of grief in his ar een he began to weep.
