Why the Bride Shed Bitter Tears.

On the bank of the Kennebec river, a few miles below Bath, Maine, lives an old* lady. Years ago she cried so violently when about to be married that it was with difficulty she could be pacified. On being interrogated as to the cause of her great grief, she replied that it made her sad to think she was to live so near to the steep bank of the river, where her children weuld daily be in danger of falling over and being drowned. The lady has now lived there about fifty years and has never had a child.— From J the Brunswick Herald. - ' s *
