NE VER.
ROW FARMEit BEES FOUND HIS -MEMORY.
I came• on purpose to marry you.
Will you have me?" he said,? boldly,
when Kezia had mannged to release
h erself.
Thank you, Mr. Rees. Yes, if you
please," she replied, gratefully, for had
not this comfortable farmer been her
life-long dream ?
• There is certainly no accounting for
dreams, or, indeed, for proposals. Rees
Manorgwyn could never account for
his, and would probably have slept it
off with his spirits and water, had not
Kezia had. a father. Happily for her,
_ he was not an absent man'and, return-
ing just as the words we have quoted
were spoken, he ratified them with his
Messing.
:
The news soon spread far and Wide
that the "young couple." were engaged, '
and more jokes were made oaer those
two commonplace words, thin filled !
Joe Miller's jest -book.
_ •" That's my doing. Now, L must
keep master up to it," said Melly; and
so she did. No sooner was Rees prepar' ing for
his Sunday nap, 'after morning service
and dinner, than Melly appeared with
the words:
"It is time for you to • be goin

grumbled Rees, obeying, neve

By the time lie reached Trefavo

the yard of the Ap Shenkin Ar s
claiming to the ostler, "What oa

"You're- forgetting, Sir. It's. unday
You'll. be on your way to Tygwyn " sug-
gested Joe, demurely.. .
". Bless my sour,. yes. I was °rot-

At last he got into the habit of idieg
once a week to Tygwyn, and woul pro-
bably have continued it to his dyin day,
but fax .KeZia.'s.fither. He was for nam-
ing the wedding day as soou as o
nees permitted, and as Rees woul
and Kezia c.ould not do. this, .he t o
on himself.
"Suppose we say Friday, Ma

was where she had laid it the pr vio

shoulder, looking at his crops in t
sunrise.
"You've got a. fine day for your we

" Weddmg, -Jelao 7" muttered Ree
7 turning slowly round, while the s,

" Yes, :master ; you're going to

he whispered to Jemima, the brides-
mei&
"Why, you are going to be married,
Mr. Rees," replied Jemima.
To be sure. Come along, my dear,"
he said, holding out his hand to
jemigut, who pushed Kezia towards
him:
The clergyman was a friend of Rem,
Manorgwya's, and acquainted with his
peculiarities. He, therefore, held. him
to his point during the Marriage ser-
viee, and when appeared oblivious re-
called hain :by a whispered "Repeat af
ter me.'
_ Repea,t alter me," said the bride-
groom. aloud, _glancing absently at
Kezia. • .1
There Was a general titter, and
the " " gave him a poke in the
back. 1
In the vestry before the register, he
paused and hesitated.
"Write your name, man," said the
clergyman.
" My nanie ? What: --what is it?" he
asked, with 'a bewildered air.
• "It uEed to be Matthew Rees. Per-
haps its Francis, now that you are mar-
ried," suggested the best man, malici-
ously.
" Francis I Tube sure," he repeated
and. would'have so signed himself, but
for the parson.
The ceremony was, however, performg to ed. at last, and Kezia, experienced the,
iking truth' of the proverb, All comes to
with those who can wait." Matrimony- came
are's to her after twenty-five years' expec-
tancy, and she was content. So, in a
ante Manner, was. Rees, who had never ex-
am," pected it at all.
rthe- They galloped back to Tygwyn side
by side; with their friends following,
n he where they feasted and jested, andlea-
into tertained all the country, uutil they set
, ex- out . again and galloped to Manor -
't of gwyu.
" I'm thankful it's over," were the
bridegroom's words, as be entered his
home and was greeted by Melly.
Kezia slipped into her place a) mt.
turally that at the end of a week he
was heard to declare that he believ-
ed he was married all •his life, and. at
the end of a fortnight he was sure
of it.
;
" I never forget anything now," h-
'1
asserted, pointing to his new Memoria
not, technica.
k it He was, nevertheless, occasionally
oblivious when absent from her, a fact
the she realized ,13 days after the wedding.
ok- She accompauied him to.Trefavon Fair,
already alluded to, and. it was agreed
int- between them, as they bowled along in
the his dog cart, that when he had finished
of his business, and she her shopping and
air calls, he would pick her up at Mr.
ing Jones'. the doctor's.
her Trefavon Fair was unusually brisk
the that day, and Rees unusually_busy. He
er- had to meet so many people on all sorts
ler of business, that time wore on imper-
a ceptibly. Then he dined at the ordin-
ay ary as usual, after which Jenkins,. the
the lawyer, called him into his house, and
. he must needs have a glass of wine, or
as something stronger, with him, so that
as -jt was 5 o'clock before he could think
uit of leaving the town. He got to the
us hotel at last, and having mounted his
ad dog cart, pushed through the crowd
h, with diffieulty.
his "Why wit§ I such a fool as todrive ?"
he he ejaculated, as he nearly upset Kat-
to's little cart. " I wish I had the mare
d- instead. I wonder if I've done any-
thing: There's a trifle on my mind still.
s, Dash me; if I'm not ,pretty sure to have
un forgotten something.
He rubbed his head and looked about
be him, while his horse picked his way
ho through the crowds, between the
church -yard walls, instead cf 'taking
ns the street that led to the doctor's. As
' a rule, Dobbin had a better memory
be than his master, but he wasn't quito
used to a mistress as yet. When
they were out of the town, they went on
at a brisk rate, Rees still rubbing his
head, and repeating ,at intervals, "I'm
sure I've forgotten something. What
can it be ?"
He had. not found out • when thev
bridesmaid; and if you don't makelaste
. your tailor and everybody will be here
before you're ready."
• The " " is another word -for the
best mati.
Rees :began to run as fast as he eoul
and when hereachect the farm out
breath, he exclaimed:
"What the matter, Madly Wha
• brings you here so early?"
• What takes you out in that eld
•. coat, when there's aline one with yel-
low buttons waiting upstairs? Go you
and shave directly," cried - indignant
• Melly.
• Before he was ready, . an army of
.• horsemen clattered into the yard, and
uproariouslybesieged. his citadel. Some
began to partake a the sumptuous meal
prepared by Melly and her aids in the
- great hall -others miceremoniously- to
help poor Rees to shave and dress -all
to make the rafters tremble with their
jollity. The bridegroom was kept well
• up to the mark amongst them, but
1 he was not to be deprived of his break-,
' fast. '
d, -
of
1 reached home. He had dismounted and
"Better lay in plenty. We shall get
nothing till the meeting's over," he re-
marked to his friends, who followed his
example.
•I When they had satisfied. appetites
• sharpened by May breezes, they all
• mounted, their horses -Rees his best bay
• mare -and set off down the road full
• gallop. They took a.circiiitous route to
• avoid the town, and tore up and down
• hill and across countay untilthey espied
another party of equestrians galloping
•along the turnpike.
" Now's your time, Rees. Here she
is !" shouted the young men, as they
• -urged their horses through a rough
lame bordered with hawthorn and prim-
roses.
When they reached the turnpike road
the bride said her party were ahead of
• them.
Now, Rees, race for the bride,"
shouted his friends, and off they gallop-
ed, helter-skeiter.
Rees got into the spirit of the chase,
but they did not overtake Kezia and
her party until they reached the out-
skirts of Trefavon. They entered the
towu en --masse, well nigh a hundred
• horses and their rider. But Rees for-
got what was expected of him, and did
• not hurry on to possess ‘Inmzelf of his
bride;• lie was engaged in admiring the
• paces of a neighbor's horse, and bidding
• fax him.
" Come you, Rees!" cried. Francis
• Tygwyn, arousina.him with his whip to
a sense of the situation. •
He took Sethi, from her horse, and
she, leaning on his arm, gently -impelled
him towards the church. The others
followed two -and -two, and were follow-
ed in turn by a crowd of spectators.
The chancel and the body of the
-churcb were soon nearly full. Rees,
- standing near the altar, looked about
him enquiringly.
"What are we here for, my dear?'
was in _the passage, whoa Jell° exclaim-
ed:
"Where inissus ?"
"That's it! I knew I had forgotten
something." cried the abased husband.,
"Put, the little mare in and drive to Dr.
Jones's and. fetch her. If I go, maybe
I shall forget again; and I couldn't
stand Jones the doctor's jokes. I ought
never to have married."
Remark that he did not say, with
many a Benedict, " I wish I had never
married:" On the contrary he seated
himself in his arm chair by the fire, for-
got his pipe, which was the one thing he
never did forget, and thought disconso-
lately of his wife.
"What will she say? Will she scold
for an hour and send ,me out of my
or will she sulk) and be silent?
That's what they say the women do,
and I dare say the men deserve it. I'm
sure I do. I wonder when I lost my
memory, and when I dropped it."
WhertRees Manorgwyn, arrived at
this portiou of his mental castigation,
he grew so confused that he would
probably have forgotten Kezia again,
had not the sound of , wheels aroused
him. He felt too much ashamed of
himself to go out to meet her, but star -
&Unto the fire as if ignorant of her
arrival. A peal of hearty laughter made
him start and turn around. It wa,s
Kezia, looking so good. tempered and
buxom that he laughed too; and rose in-
stinctively.
"You will. never hear the last of it.
The doctor said you had forgotten me!"
she exclaimed.
."1 suppope I had; but I'll try never
to forget yoki again. Let's spell oppor-
tubity."
They spelt it so loudly that the
wainscot echoed,, and froin that time
forth it is recorded that, thanks to
his wife,lie gradually picked up, his
memory.
"If we had married young 1 should
never have lost it," said he.
• "Better late than never," replied
8 e. ,

• RomarstiO Marriage.
Prince Bisniarck's daughter, the
Countess Marie, whose wedding took
piece recently, has married, after all,
her first love, Count Von Rantzaus
When boy, and girl together, theyoung
pair used to meet as they were coming
home from school, and the Coant would
carry Marie's books, tell her:long stories,
and pay her innunierable attentions.
Count Von Rantzau went into the army,
and some time afterwards heard that
his old • love- was engaged to Count
Eulenburg. Henry Von Rantzaat fell
into a gloomy state of mind, and was
subject to fits of depression ,which
greatly alarnied his comrades. Typhoid
fever, however, carried off young Count
Eulenbinag, and Count Von Rantzau
speedily recovered his spirits, renewed
his acquaiutanco with the Bismarcks,
and again courte the Countess Marie,
abandoning the sword for diplomacy.
One of the great features of the wed-
ding fetes was t e distribution to each
guest of a brief poem; recounting this
episode, written y a youug relative of
Prince Bismarck and entitled "On re-
vient toujours as s premeres amouls."
Countess Marie' young lady friends
also gave her a li rge album, containing
views of every pL ce she had lived in
before her marr age, and bearing the
inscriptions " T e days that are no
