They were worthy of eaekotker, aad stood there in tbe presence of tke miafaier who was about to unite them witk tka fall approval of family aad frieads. They were at tended by a oaosea eom naay of their yottthfal oompaaioas, wke breathed tke hope that their own fawra might be as rioudleis as that of tke two who stood 8EF0KK TKX ALTAR. The ehuroh was well filled with tka frieads of both parties, aad tke anal number of carious oateiders. At last tke bridal party hare aeonad their proper poeitioa, aad all eyes are dxed upon tke bride as ska stood by the side of those into whose keeping shia was about to intrust her honor aadlasaw piaees. And he, wkk his stalwart aad manly air, seemed well fitted for tke trust. Every thing being ready, the minister read the marriage serriee, and naught was beard except reeponses of the bride aad groom the one faint aad low aad tke other prompt and clearly spoken. Tke serriee was nearly done. Tka minister said : "I pronounce you maa aad wife." At tbe moment tkat tka words were altered, tke AIR BBCAME SUDOsWLT DARKEXJCD, aad before the amened assembly oould move from their seats the ehurok was violently shaken by tke shook of aa earthquake.

Fortunately no one was seriously hart in the panic, although several were badly braised ia the crush, and maay had. their clothes torn almost off in the frantic endeavors of tbe crowd to reach tka outer sir. But bow was it with tke bridal party? Ia the first moment of excitement the bridesmaids and groomsmen bad fled, acd whea the ohuroh was cleared, three persons only remained at the altar the minister and tbe newly married couple and tbe trio presented a scene taat Kem brand t would nave immortalised.
