sons; if he had, his pastor would soon
have been able to compete with him in
business.
-
One day a couple who called at
Trinity had no ring. The minister
told. him that if he didn't have one of
gold, a silver one would do. But the
groom didn't have even that, and after
scurrying around the neighborhood. in
search of something within his means,
come back with a brass one, and was
married with that.
The genial chaplain of one of our
crack city regiments tells the follow-
ing: I was once called upon to mar-
ry 1..t, fine, hearty young German and his
fraulein, a pretty, blue-eyed little thing,
so shy a,nd modest that she could hard-
ly speak. When I got through the hus-
band asked me how much it was.
" Give me,' I said, as much as you
love your wife.'
"Ho looked tenderly down into the
blushing, appealing face that nestled
alongside, and then, diving his big,
burly fist into his pocket, brought it
out running over with silver and gold.
It was a large fee, but he assured me
that he could afford it, and not to hurt
his feelings, I took it."
A former clergyman of Trinity
Church was importuned by an Irieh la-
borer and. his sweetheart, who wanted
to be niarried. They were too poor to
pay a fee, they said, but they would re-
member him with thankfulness to the
last day of their lives. Ascertaining
that there was no impediment, the doc-
tor performed the ceremony, whereup-
on the thrifty groom asked his " river-
ence " for the trifling loan of half a dol-
lar to get a night's lodging.
An east side clergyman had a bride
and groom who were poor and prouct
When the service was over, the bride -
goom indignantly refused to be married
gratis, and insisted on fishing fifty cents
in pennies and five -cent pieces out of
his pockets. The groomsman, not to be
outdone in liberality, added another
fifty cents from his owa store.
Besides the clergymarr's fee* it is
usual in fshi
.sonable churches to 'give a
fee to the -sexton for opening the
chureln In Trinity and Trinity
Chapel, this is but $5, but in some of
the fashionable churches the incidental
expenses amount to $40 or $50. When
Catholics marry Protestants, a dispen-
sation has "to be procured. from the
Pope. Authority is given to the
Bishop to grant these !dispensations as
he sees fit, and a fee of $5, erroneously
called a " dispensation fee," is paid to
the clerks of the Chancery office on
their furnishing the required document.

accumulated in this way. Our Epis-
copal rector with a large congregation

Some churches are more popular
than others. Trinity Church, fora
few years after its completion, was- a
favorite resort of blushing brides and
their grooms. People used to come
from other States to be married at
Trinity. Wedding parties intending to
ma,ye the tour of Europe went there be-
cause of its convenience. Its location,
its size, and the impressive memories
associated with it, as one of the oldest
and, one of the wealthiest churches in
the country, long made it a favorable
wedding centre, audit is still patronized
largely for this purpore. Trinity
- Chapel, in West Twenty-fifth street, is
a fashionable place for weddings, and
its services are almost c,onstandy in re-
quisitiou. Of the churches on Murray
Hill, St. Thomas, at Fifty-second street,
is considered the most aristocratic.
The wedding fees paid here are reputed
to be the largest in amount of any
church in the city. Dr. Howard. Cros-
by's, on Fourth avenue and Twenty-
second street, is another favorite
church.
One of the assistant ministers of
Trinity Church at one time used to av-
erage from two to five marriages a day,
while a popular rabbi up town has offi-
ciated at nearly 1,000 weddings.
A clergyman of this city, who was
called upon to marry a son of one of his
thriftiest members, was astonished at
receiving no fee. Six months after-
ward the heart of the disappointed pas-
tor was gladdened by the sight of a bag
of the finest Mocha coffee,:which the
mernber-,a grocer -sent as a substi-
tute. Soon afterwards a second saii.:6fe

that account. If he nearly shoots a

while his victim is speechless with. rage

.of his labors; for frequent cries of

An Incident.
The charity which will always be
specially associated with the mane of
the Marchioness of Lorne is the Vic-
toria Hospital for Sick Children, estab-
lished some few years since, the
"Louise Ward" being opened. in 1874.
At this beautiful hospital ,for the sick
children of London otherwise homeless
and. unfriended, Princess Louise has
been constantly seen, working heartily,
and not content with the merely nomi-
nal patronage which is itself a benefit.
Not long ago a lady well known in
literary circles, and a friend of the
Princess, met her at the hospital. for
some special purpose. It so cha,nced
they were in a room alone together,
and the royal lady'S critical eye fell
upon. some dust on the floor. "This
room ought to be swept more carefully,"
she exclaimed, then seeing a brOom in
the corner, evidently left by the house-
maid, who vanished. on their entrance,
she took it up and began playfully to
sweep. Her companion remonstrated,
when the Princess said,, laughing,
"Now do you suppose my raother left
my education so unfinished that I
can't sweep ?" and accordingly, ,half in
jest, but with a skill many house-
keepers sigh for, the little lady vigor-
ously swept the apartment, having
taken the homely precaution_ of .pinning
back her gown before she commenced
the operation.

as daugerous as the mistakes of the in-

Cur osities of Wooing.
. In olden times it was, the fashion for
a suitor to go down On his knees to a
lady when he asked her to become his
wife, whic a with very stout gentlemen,
was an un omfortableproceedin-..1. The
way in wh ch Daniel Webster proposed
to Miss Fl tcher was more modern, be-
ing at the ame time neat and. poetic.
Like many other lovers, he was caught
bolding a kein of thread or wool which
the lady h d been unraveling. "Gracie,"
said he," ve have been untying knots.
Let us see if we cannot tie one which
will not untie in a , lifetime." With a
piece of tape he fashioned a half true
lover's' knot, Miss Fletcher perfected it,
and a kiss put the seal to the symbolic
bargain. Richard. Steele wrote to the
lady of hisheart : “ Dear Mistress Scar -
