The Time to Maury. A good story
reaches us from the somewhat out-of-the-
way region of Petaluna. Early last
W ;ek all was going merrily at a very interesting
wedding in the town, until tho
bride croom was called upen to produce
the wedding ring. In vain he felt in his
trousers pocket for the missing trille.
Nothing could be found except a hole,
through which the ring had evidently
fallen into tho high boot which is
by young men of that country. What
was lie to do. "Take yourboot oil," said f
the parson. Tho suspense and silence
were painful. Tho organist at the
priest's bidding struck up a "voluntary."
The young man, sitting on the altar-rails,
removed his boot, the ring was
fopnd also a hole in the stocking, which
led the worthy divine to remark: "Young
man, it is time you were married." Pall
