HOW TO SERVE A FICKLE-MINDED' LADY.
A few days since, a young gentleman and a yonng lady appeared at the parsonage of an eminent clergyman of this city, for the purpose of having their respective destinies united by the holy bonds of matrimony. Everything being ready, the clergyman aforesaid was about to proceed with the ceremony, when the young lady discovered that she was minus the kid gloves so necessary on such occasions ; whereupon she requested her affianced to hasten to a store and j I procure the indispensable kids, telling ; I him to "be in a hurry or she might ' \ change her mind." The clergyman, witnesses, and the intended bride, waited for the return of the youth with the gloves ; he didn't come. They waited longer, but still he did not put in an appearance. I The matter at last becoming really serious and alarm: ng, the clergyman took his hat and proceeded, post haste, in search of the truant lover, whom he found after a diligent search and many inquiries, quietly seated on the veranda of the Park House, with his feet elevated on the back of a chair, and very deliberately puffing a cigar. On beiug asked to explain his singular conduct, he carelessly remarked that he " was waiting to see if she was going to change her mind." They were married, however, at last, after two hours' delay. — ' Ottawa Kepublican.'
