Just Cause For Forbidding a Wedding By OSCAR COX Just beforo tho civil war broko out there was a colored man living on a plantation in Tcnnesseo called Court noy St Leger. This aristocratic namo ocetns so out of placo for a negro sluvo that a word of explanation la nec essary. It had been derived from Colo nol St. Leger, who had owned tho man In Louisiana, and a previous master named Courtney, for at that time no grocs took their names from their owners. Now, Courtney had had a wlfo on tho Courtney plantation, and from her ho had been divorced by tho fact only that ho had been sold to Colonel St Leger. Whllo under tho colonel's own crshlp ho had married another wife, and n fow years later ho had been sold to a Mr. Ilarland of Tennessee. Not long after ho had been bought by Mr Ilarland ho concluded to take a wife from utnqng tho women owned by that gentleman. Susan Clarke, whoso namo had como to her from a former master, had been bought in New Orleans, now many husbands shu had had would not nave been known on the Ilarland plantation had It not been that Pcto Lefevre, ono of her fellow slaves In Tennessee, and his wlfo Phocbo had been bought at the samo tlmo with her and knew of at least two that sbo had had under different ownerships. Courtney and Susan concluded to blot out their remembrances of past connubial bliss and trials by taking each other for lawful partners. Mis Boy Ilarland, as they called their mis tress, wum a good woman and would llko to have stemmed tho current of such marriages among her slaves, but tho system of slavery was not condu slvc to squeamishness on tho subject, and she was obliged to take the sltua tlon ob she found It. So long as couples were sold apurt there were to bo found cases wherein a strict regard for the letter of the dlvlno Institution of mar rlago was not observed. So when per mission to marry was handed In at the manor houso It was grunted. Tho wed ding took place in an Episcopal church. The rector was colored, and tho wed ding guests were also people of color. Tho pair marched up the al3le to tho chancel, Uio groom with a magnolia In his buttonhole, the brldo in a white muslin gown given her by her mis tress. The ceremony went on glibly till that part of the service was reach ed in which tho clergyman says: If any man can show just cause why thoy may not lawfully bo Joined together lot him now speak or forever after hold his peaco. Then Pete Lefevre arose from among the wedding guests and said: "I know why Court St Leger shouldn't marry Sue Clarke. Fust off, Pete, Jio got three wives areddy, and Sue, she got two busban's I knows on and"- Tho remarks were Interrupted by Uncle Ben Parker, who aroso with a threatening look on his face. The bride, the groom, the clergyman and guests all changed their astonished glances from Pete to Undo Ben. "Whu' fo' yo' mls'able Louisiana nig ger yo' cum hynr fo' t' mak dlstu'b ouco in do house ob do Lord? Yo' shut up dut red and black mouf o' yourn or dls hyar congregation gwlue to put yo' outl" "How can I bo asked to show Just cause why Court and Sue mayn't law fully bo Jlned togedder and yo say yo' gwlne put mo out of I do?" Ben scratched his head, looked like a bull Just about to lift a rail fence with his horns and finally said: "Dat part o do ceremony wa'n't meant fo niggers at all. It war meant fo' white folks." "You's nil wrong," said Mose Tucker, 1 coming Into tho fray. "White folks don' pay no mo 'tentlon to dat dan niggers. Do finest peoplo an' de rich est people In do worl' hab do mos' hus bands and wives." "How dey do 't?" asked Uncle Ben. "By dlvo'ce Jlst as easy ns fallln' ofTn a greased log. But dem kind o' weddln's tak' money. Dat's de reason do richer dey air do easier it air to swai) husban's and wives." "Bredderlir," said tho parson, look ing benignly over his spectacles, "you's all gwlno wrong. Do Lord ain't no suspecter ob pussons. He hab do same law fo' do white man and do nigger. It's do interfretation whn mak's de difference. De white man lntorfrets do word nccordln' to. his possessions, do nigger accordln' to his necessities. Dc Interfretation In dls caso is dat It is all right fo' Pete to show Just cause why dls marriage sha'n't tak' place, but accordln' to do Interfretation Court and Sue llbln' undor do miction ham mer, do Lord ain't gwlno to hold 'era to do samo account as dem as is worf n million dollars. Now, yo' Pete, yo eliot up or I gib my divine permission us pastor ob dls chu'eh fo' to put yo' out" Peto subsided, tho ceremony proceed ed, and nt Its conclusion Court and Suo sailed smilingly down tho alslo und nut of the church. "Pa'son," said an old darky to tho oinclntlng clergyman, "dey wnr anud dor froologlcal p'lnt In do sarvico, yo' didn't suy nuthln' ubout" "Wha' dat?" "Why, It's 'let no man put asunder.' Dat don't mean notten 'bout do lus' time do man or do woman war nut asunder: It only mean dls time. And dls time don't hab nottln' to do wlUa do nex' time nudder." "Jfta' so, bcudditf.
