THE

WEDDING FER. | —— |

How very dark and stormy it was on that March eveninj:! Ihe coors and windows kept up % ] -rpetual rattle ; violent gusts of wind and dashes of rain now and then beat against the! house. as if bound to seek shelter there- in.

Little Robby was sound asleep in his] erib, and the minister and his wite were spending the evening together in the cosy sitting room. The hour ‘or retiriec hadcome, and while Mrs, W -t- soa wis bustling about, picking up : od adjusiing the numberless conce-ns which nobody but a careful housewife can ever see or think of, there came & violent ring of the bell.

‘Mercy !’ exclaimed Mrs. Watson, ‘somebody must be dying or dead. What a dreadful night for you to go out in!’

Mr Watson opened the door and

eered into the darkness. Not a human

ing could he see or hear. A few

seeonds passed, whena loud, gruff voice was heard, asking: ;

‘Can you splice us to-night ?

For an instant the minister was con- fused, not being accustomed to the use of that nautical term in relation to the duties of his profession. A second thought, however, made clear to him the possibility that splicing might be within the limit of his particular pro- vince ; and so raising his voice above the storm he replied :

‘If you mean to ask me, sir, to marry you, I shall be happy to perform the ceremony. Is the lady with yon?’

‘Ha, ha! that’s a good one! Sara Ann, you mean! Don’t suppose I'd come to get the knot tied without her, do ye? Nosir; she’s right here in the cart.’

Mr. Watson need aot have stepped back to inform his wife of the great event which was to take place, for she had heard ail the conversation and was using her utmost endeavors to expel the laugh from her countenance before the happy pair appeared.

t must be confessed that the sight of the couple was not conducive to gravity. They had passed a good while since the bloom of youth, and made no special effort to conceal the cact. But had evidently come directly from their work, which, indeed, the gentleman proceeded to intimate.

‘Fact is, parson, ’tis rather a bad night outside; and [ says to Sara, ‘ What's the use; let’s not fix up a bit, but go just as we are. The knot ‘Il hold just as well as if we had on our best bib and tucker. And besides, parson, we want to take the old folks by surprise, and they’d be sure to ’spect something if we'd gone to work and put on all the riggin’s.’’ Mrs. Watson was glad oi this little opportunity to smile, and promptly improved it. What would she not have given for the privilege of a good, hearty laugh !

The brief ceremony concluded, Mr. and Mrs, Watson extended their con gratulations,

‘The cart rattled away, and Mrs. Watson, into whose hands her husband had delivered the certificate,made haste to open it, thinking that, after all, it wasn’t best to judge people by the out- side, and that the strange man might have done something by way of a fee. There it-was? Abill! Yes, and upon it the magnificent figure of one dollar!

‘Well, | do declare,’ shouted Mrs. Watson. ‘ isn’t this too mean for any- thing? Shameon that man; he don’t deserve to be married.’

‘Now, my dear,’ said the minister, ‘ you should not bye too hard, for I think you had at least a dollar’s worth of en- joyment out of the occasion.’

‘Yes,sir; and I noticed somebody who seemed troubled to keep from Jaughter.’

Next day little Robby'’s shoes were bought with the wedding tee, the min- ister's clothes were brushed and clean- ed for the hundredth time, and the good judy, by dint of extraordinary management, made the old dress ans awer an excellent purpose.

The spring passed away, and the sum- mer in all its beautiful bloom and abundant fruitfuleess came on. The wedding ou the stormy night had al- most passed from the minds of the minister and his wife ; albeit, now and then she would break out with a laugh and ask her husband if he didn’t think it was nearly time for him to splice an- other couple. One dav as the happy little family were eating Uieir dinner, and just a3 the parents were iveling un- commonly proud of some smart thing little Robby had said, there came just such another ring of the bell as that heard on the stormy night.

‘Well, there,’ said Mrs. Watson, ‘one would think for all the world that the

j anything better in that line, bet your life. Didn't know how it would turn out. Getting married is kinder risky, any how. But you won’t find a happier

And so I thought ’twas ’bout time I brought along the rest of that fee. | Where’ll you have these things, p:r-| son ?’

The minister went to the door, there was the cart literally loaded with } fruit and vegetables. Sucha store was, never before brought to the house !

‘Oh, don’t trouble yourselves thank- ing about this,’ said the man. * N othing but a fair trade. you know. But if you must thank anybody, thank Sarah Ann. The garden sass is from her. She kin- der iwould relih this hot weather. Very hot and dry, pastor, this season. Been ‘specting the crops would’t ’mount to nothing, but they is gitting on fust rate. The Lord generally brings things round ‘bout right, L notice. Don’t go much onthe churches and plaguey little on some of it’s members, but you don’t catch me go back on the Lord.’ Was tellin’ Sarab only last week that we must goover and hear you preach some Sunday. S’pose you give’em the ra’al Bible religion, don’t you ? That's what all say they do, anyhow.’

The minister and his wife-had but little opportunity to utter a word,their friend was so talkative; but they would insist upon expressing their warmest thanks to him and ‘Sarah Ann’ for the truly generous donation.

After the store had heen deposited in the house, the man took the master by the hand, leaving in it a bill, saying :

‘That's my part of the fee; thank Sarah Ann for the sass.’ And then jumping into his wagon he drove away.

The minister unfolded the bill, and lo! its worth was twenty dollars! Mrs. Watson clapped her hands, and fairly shouted for joy. ‘The needed dress and pants were bought, and to this day there is no story which the minister and his wife love so much to tell as that of ‘ The Wedding Fee.’

CATAR RFE,

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRE.

tear what a Reverend Gentleman saya of the Constitutional Remedy. T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrii Remedy’ was intro- du-ed tome. Ihave waited. this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy eliccts seemed to me to be “too good bs true.”

I was affiic'cd in ny head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars, “he inward “‘drop” from the head had becom: very disagreeable, and a choking sensation o! ben preveating me from lying long, i would feci like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts: me to send you this Certificate, ansolic: with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
