The Time To marry.
A good story reaches Woman from the somewhat out-of-the-way region ofPetaluna. Early last week all ; was going merrily at a veiy interest- j ing; wedding in the town until the j bridegroom was called upon to pro- \ duce the wedding-ring In vain he ' felt in his trousers-pocket for the : missing trifle. Nothing could be ; found except a hole through which , the ring had evidently fallen into the \ high boot which is effected by young \ men of that countiy. What was he to do ? " Take your boot off,' said the parson. The supense and silence were painful. The organist, at the priest's bidding, struck up a "voluntary." The young man, sitting on the alter rails, removed his boot, the ring was found — also a hole in the stocking, which led the worthy divine to remark, " Young man, it is time you were tuavrkd."
