A Canadian clergyman was not lons* sinco called upon by an Irish girl, who enquiivi how much he aaked for "marrying au/body." He replied, " A dollar and a-half," and Biddy departed. A few evenings later, on bping summoned to the door, he was accosted by the same person, with the remark that she had come to be married. " Very well," said the minister ; but perceiving, with astonishment, that she was alone, he continued, " Where is the man ?" An expression of disappointment and chagrin, too ludicrous to be described, passed over Biddy's features as she ejaculated, " And don't Jo j find a man : for a dollar and a-half?"
