How to S.ain r K a Fickle- Mdtded Lady. — A few days since a young gentleman and a young lady appeared at the parsonage of an eminent clergyman of this city for the purpose of having their respective destinies united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Everything being ready, the clergyman aforesaid was about to proceed with the ceremony, when she discovered that she was minus the kid gloves so necessary on such occasions ; whereupon she requested her affianced to [to hasten to a store and procure the indispensable kids, telling him to be in a hurry or she might change her mind. The clergyman, witnesses, ,and intended bride waited some time for ! the return of the youth with the gloves ; he didn't come. They waited longer, and still he failed to put in an appearance. The matter at las!; becoming really serious and alarming, the clergyman took his hat and proceeded, post haste, in search of the truant lover, whom he found, after a i diligent search and many inquiries, quietly seated on the verandah of 'the Park House,, with his feet elevated on the back of a chair,- and very deliberately puffing a cigar. On being asked to explain his singular conduct, he carelessly remarked that he " was waiting to see if she was going td change her mind." They were married, however, at last, after two hours delay. — "Ottawa (111) Republican,"
