One moment, my friend," replied the
minister, slowly, for a thought occurs to
me that the law of Massachusetts cannot
permit of these ceremonies without the
observance of a publishment,' &c, for a
particular length of time."

I say, my friend, 1 have come to the
conclusion that you cannot be married in
Massachusetts."
Can'ir Wot 'n natur's the difficulty?
I like 7er, and she likes rne, she said she

You havn't been published. I think?'
No! Ilaiut agoing to nuther! That's

see, 'taint I swaovr, you've married me,
and ain't tetcbed her. Go on, don't cave
in here! It aint just the thing.

'o you don't, no you don't co nsult
nothin' nor nobody, till this ere bus iness
is concluded ; naow mind i tell ye!' said
Jonathan, with resolution, and in an iutant
he had turned the key in and out of the
lock, amidst the laughter of the witnesses,
who were nearly choked with merriment.
Naow, say, mister, as we ware.' con
tinued the Yankee, grasping his trembling
intended by the hand again. 'Go on, riht
straight from ware you left off.' And here
Jonathan crowded his hand far into his
pocket, and drew from it an old pocket
book, ('probably used by his great-grandfather)
as an inducement for the reverend
gentleman to proceed. lie held the rusty
walletl in his hand and continued. Yo'u
can't come none of this half-way business
with this child, so put 'er thru, and yer
money's ready, naow no dodging. It'll
be all riht, by golly.'
The parson considered a moment, and
concluded to risk it, at sight of that well
crammed wallet, of course, lie continued !
You promise ,,-,i,.,.,,,
I Yaas,' replied Jonathan.
The parson smiled anil went on. You
promise madam, to take this man to be your
husband, lawfully?'
Yaas, yaas, said the Yankee, again, as
the lady bowed.
That you will honor, love, obey, and '
Them's urn,' said Jonathan, as the lady
bowed again.
And that you will cling to him as long
as you both shall live?'
That's the kind, that's the talk!' said
John, and the lady again responded yes.
Then in the presence of Him on high,
and these witnesses, I pronounce you man
and wife.'
Hoorah!' shouted Jonathan at the top
of his voice, leaping nearly to the ceiling
with joy.
And what God has joined together,
let no man put asunder.
Iloorahr' continued Jonathan. by gol

She' mine! Hail Columby, happy land!
roared the poor fellow, entirely unable to
control his joy. and in ten minutes more
he was on his way to the Lowell depot,
with his wife, the happiest man alive.
