He Will Not “Make Her Obey.”

In a Sheffield church tho other day a marriage ceremony came to an abrupt and altogether unlooked-for termination. It was the fault of the would-be bridegroom, and most people will say in losing his bride he met his deserts. The ceremony went on right enough till the clergyman, addressing himself to the woman, put the question whether she would have the man to be her husband, “to love, honor and obey.” At the mention of the word “obey” the bridegroom ejaculated, “I’ll make thee.” “Are wo married yet?” askod the woman of the clergyman. “No, you are not,” he replied. “Then we shall not be,” said she, and thereupon she left the church. The man protested that it was too late, but she heeded him not, and his discomfiture was made none the less when the parson told him that ho thought she had acted very sensibly.— lrish Times.
