Keeping a Man.

Within the past three months a singular wedding service was read to a couple in this city, both of whom are well known. The lady had a considerable fortune, which was so settled upon herself that her husband could not touch it. The gentleman, however, was not aware of this. The lady arranged the marriage service to suit herself, and when it was pronounced the gentleman swore to “ love, honor and cherish,” but did not add the words about endowing her with “ all his worldly goods.” The lady swore she would “ love, honor, obey and keep ” her husband, and thus the difficulty was solved. This reminds us of the wise saying of the Danbury News man, “ Girls, never marry until you can support a husband.” —Pittsburgh Telegraph.
