A cotiplti I eft thi) train at Union depot and walked up .TciTeraon avenue yesterday. She had Ions' curls and a yellow sash, and ho had a standing collar sawing; his cars off, a buttonhole bouquet and a pair of new boots fresh ly greased and 0110 size too small. They hadn't walked two blocks when they came ton man nltt ittjjf on a box in front uf a store, and as he caught sight of them a grin crept over his face like molasses spread out on a shingle. (iriiining nt us, I s'pose? queried the young man, as he came to a halt. Yes, Iraukly replied the sitter. Tickles you most death to sec us take hold ol hands, don't it? It does.

After a r ice o a block the man ho grinned g iinedso fast that the other slopped short and went back to his girl and his hat,. Stretching forth his hand to the innocent maiden, he remarked.

A minister officiating at a wedding better not lay any plans for sport on his own account. The laugh may come in in the wrong place for him tis it did at negro wedding in Virginia, where two brawny, ruby lipped ne groes called upon a young and popular minister to be married. flie minister was fond of fun, and i iviled some ol his intimate friends, telling them he would have au extra performance, in the ceremony. Ihe pari ir was well lighted, :md tho guests Willi inirtlilul laces, were scaled, when the couple were shown 111. 1 he ceremony proceeded, amid a little tillering ol the gnosis and no little agitation on Ihe part of Iho lov ers. As it ended and the minister pronounced them man au 1 wife, he added with n smile : "Samuel, saluie your bride." The new-made husband looked all round the room, and seeing by the mirth ot the crowd that all was not right, he excitedly said : "You liHt.miKsah! yon fust?" and prompted by n look ol the Iond bus band, the bride raised her ruby liB for the expected kiss: The tables had turned. The Fur prised minister stepped back, and hes itatingly said : ' I will soon have a bride of my own to kiss." ADY FKTISliMKNTS. T .' . '4''- &3 ra? BlIllEltll.
