Tha guests at a recent expected
marriage iu a certain church of tbe
Weat Hide were treite l to a aingu
lar and rather startling sonaatim at
tho very moment when tho connu
bial knot w ia to bs tied. Tho bride
and groom wars a young couple,
and ha I mida all tha neooaaary
preparationa for tba antioipited hap
py event that waa to nuke thorn as
one, aud it waa thought by tbe re
spective friend of tbia pair that ths
eonroo of true lovo had rnn quits
smoothly with them, and a geuuine
mutual etfjoti in exists I bttweou
tbem. Tiie invited company had
entered the house of worship, aud
tho attendants on tbs couple bad
tiken their places around the alter,
ami tbe minister remained iu wait
iug to pert irm tha ceremony, Tha
bride, attire I in an the gorgeous
finery custom ury on auoh occasions,
alighted from tho carriage, aud ths
groom oleppa l blithely and lightly
after her aud in doing a t toappoued
to aat bis foot npou her long trail.
As be did ao, tbe (air lady uttered s
low cry, and axolaiintd eoarply '-O
dear how awkard you are I1' The
yotiug mm a face colored as ha
atnmbled otf ths rich garment, and

pair walked into the cturoh and
d own tbe ilo to the alter. AU eyes
re-tod upon their in ivementa, a i l a
imirmiir of voices aroaa as tbey came
in aud took their position bif ire the
miuiator. Tbe eerem my prooee la I,
tits iniuieter aeked ths bride if she
aoold aooopt tha groom for her
wed led h'leoau I, aud received the
aaual affirmative answer, aud waa
about .o interrogate the young man,
when tbe litter impuloively and un
expectedly oiid to tbe bride i "Ob,

q iiokly turning ou his heel, walked
out ot ths edifloe with ont another
word of explanation, leaving tbe as
tonished bride standing at ths attr
in mute bewilderment and the min

The young wan went bia way in a
eorrtage, and the diaappnntol bride
