The heartiness, the bold dash, the generous boefitulity of the thing, and often the novel phase* of social Ufa which it reveals, together of course, with the /sr. which b rarely small inVpm^brtion to tiie ability of the parties, make the event quits welto the toiling preacher. One day, on answering a modest there stood before our log-house door a young man, bare-footod, coatless, with coarse, well-patched pants and rimless straw hat, hb face beaming with a bashful happiness, which would at once have suggested hb errand, were it not for hb garb, or, rather, want of garb. " Are you the minbtcr?" bo asked. "Yea," I replied. Then followed a pause. "Is there anything," said I, breakthe silence, "that I can do for you?" "Yew. I came to see if you could mo down to Mr. L. '«, next Thursday, and marry a couple." " Where docs Mr. L. litre?" " Seven tnilci below here, on the other side of the river. They want j-ou be two o'clock, Thursday nfter- " I will endeavor to be there at that tlme,",said I, " but who 'are tho parties?" " O," ho replied, with a look which was its own interpreter, "you will know when you get there!" After getting ail the directions needful for finding the place, I was about elusion to; interview, nut my caller as if he had more to say; and, after evident embarrassment, asked "^rhat I charged for marryiug folks?" " I generally leave that to the parties?" said I. Then ensued another pause, broken, at length, by bis saying in a depressed tone: "I have no money now; ]ierhnpsyou wouldn't come down and marry us, and wait fbr your pay?" " That I will, " I replied, " and Providence permitting, you will see me at precisely the hour named." The cloud lifted from tho sunburnt and, smilingly thanking me, he hurried away with a light step. Seven miles in prairie land is a short distance; but" not being In a mood to walk, 1 engaged a horse of a neighbor. for the two Intervening days, it rained, or rather poured incessantly, moderating to a gentle fall on On calling for tho horse, him go.
