----- Th'eettild received tht ()Ail - lancel:lf bap

Stilling prepared a' christe - ning feast, to
which parson Stolbine was invited. For
. this purpose John was sent to the parsonage.
In 'appttsv,liino. th'eltouse, ho remembered,
that themmist t- er was a great stickler forcer=
cmonies, and therefore had his hat under his
arm, as soon as he entered the court-yard,.
lest he should prove unsuccessful in his mis.
sion. But alas! how useless is frequently all
human foresight! The large house dog attack
ed him, and John-unluckily picked up a- stone,-
and hit him in his side, so that he began to
howl.most pitiously. The par:Solt, who had
seen the whole transaction from the window
ruslied out of the house in a violent pas;
sion, shook his fist at poor John, and ex
claimed: "You rascal, I'll teach you, how
to treat_ my (log !" John replied: "I beg
your pardon, I did not knew, that. thp.dog.

and coax the dog, in which he by far better

from sad experience, how dangerous it was
to wear a hat in his worship's presence; for

forgotten to pull off his hat as soon as he
appeared in sight. But in walking along

became likewise somewhat-irritated, and he

: the parties, together
with a number of the young people . of both
sexes in, the neighborhood, had been invited
to the wedding of another couple, and had
:mbled at the house of the bride where
the nuptials were celebrated. After the
ceremony. lad taken place, a young gentle
man, one of the guest, proposed to a young
hilly present, to be married for fun, and
they stood up togettier upon the floor for
that-purpose. The magistmte,who it seems
was willing to .contribute his share of the'
fun, consented td gratify the humor of the
couple so far as tongree to marry them a
fip's worth—a second contract followed to
be married to the value of a "levy," and in
this way the "fun" proceeded for some time.
The . magistritte, it appears, at last became
-rather tired of the sport, and informed the
. young couple that if they persisted in their
demands to be "married for fim,mhe would
marry them in earnest. -They dared him to do
it, az aftertis repeated admonition to them,
(although they, contend it was "all in flin t ")
he actually; pronounced them "husband slid
wife," and it would seem,. not until they, had
separated and retired each to their own home,'
did they begin to-=understand it .any thing
more than being "married fbr fun." liesta•
