AyouDg man had engaged himself to a
playmate in early youth, but as his mind
developed, he perceived that he was mis-
mated, and wished to be released from his
engagement. The young lady would not
consent, and insisted upon being married.
The young man appeared to yield, but
when asked, as usual, g Will you take this
woman to be your wife ~ he answered
"No." At this unexpected answer, the
marriage party broke up in confusion. The
relatives Of the rejected bride resented the
insult offered TO their family, and threaten

proposed that they should go again to the
church, and that the bridegroom should
make the usual answer, promising that
when it came to her turn she would say no,
that the refusal might appear to come from
her. The bridegroom consented; but, to
his great surprise, the bride answered
"yes y the marriage ceremony was con-
cluded in form, and he found himself, a.
gainst his will, a married man.
