this wag was elected Justice of the
Peat, sitrl shortly alter his inrtal -
ment in office, a couple came from
Iowa to get united in the holy
bonds of " padlock." Whiting
tells how I performed the cere-'
mony, as follows :
Having been appointed to the
desirable " poMli " of Justice ot j
tlic Peace, I was accosted, on the j
5th day of Jit'.y by a sleek looking j
young man, and in silvery tones i
requested to proceed to a neighbor. j
iug hotel, as he wished to enter !
into the holy bonds of matrimony.
116 was a " squelclier." I had j
never done any thing of the kind,
liad no books nor Hums ; yet I de- j
temiined to do things tip strong, i
and in a legal manner, so I pro. I
oeeded to the hotel, bearing in my
arms one copy of the Hevised Mat -
utes. onedittii W..hsirMTl,ri.l.,
ed Dictionary, one copy large sized
Jjible, a small copy of the creed
and articles of the Faith of the
Congregational Ciiurch, one copy
of lJojw's Essay on Man, ami a
sectional part of the map where
the victim lived. Having placed
a table in the middle of the room,
and seated myself behind it, I, in
tntmpct tones called the ease. With
that the young man and woman,
with great alacrity stepped up be
fore me.
Having sworn tlicm on the dic
tionary to answer well and truly all ':
the questions 1 was about to ask, I ;
Jiroceeded. I told the youpg man
that, being an entire starnger, I
should ask him to give hail for the

him it would be necessary to give
lail to keep the pace. This be
said he was willing to do when be
arrived home, and then 1 waived
tliat point a'so.
Having established to my satis,
faction that they wanted "to get
married, and that they were old
enough to enter into tliat blessed
state, 1 proceeded to tie the knot.
take that woman to be his wile. '
He said he was. I told him tliat I ,
did not reqoir. haste in answer;
that he might reflect a few mimitea ;
if l wished. 1 told him she look-!
ed like a fine girl, and I had no
doubt but tin was ; but if the se
uel proved that he had lieen taken
in, I did not want to be held re
sponsible. I said he must love,
lionor and obey tier as long as she
lived ; be must not be " snappy "
around tlie house, nor spit tolncco
juice on tlie floor, a'l of which he
promised faithfully to obey.
" Now," said I, tieorgiana (her
name was 6'eorgiana, you hear
what Humphrey says. l)o you
accept the invitation to become bis
wife ? Will yon be lenient toward
his faults and cherish his virtues?
Will you ever be guilty of throw
ing furniture at his head fur slight
offenses, and will you get three
meals a day without grumbling?
.Site said site would. I asked them if
they believed in the commandments,
and they said they did. Having
read the creed and articles of faith, ;
as aforesaid, I exclaimed, " Hum
phrey, take her, she is yours ; I can
not withhold my consent. Geore-
iana wheu safe in the arms ofi
your Humphrey, you can defy the
scoffs and jeers of tlie world."
I then rend a little from the
" Essay on Man," including tliat
I8sage, "Man wants but little
here below, but wants that little
long." As a finale to tlie scene, I
delivered the following exordium :
" (7o in peace ; sin no more."
