HOSE enter- priein^ twins, PBaline sail Pollj Peters, ageil seyen, kail just seen a wedding for tbe first time in tkeir short lives, and w0re engaged in reprodac-' ing tke erent to tbe best of their reinem- branoe.
Panline, vith apreternatnral solemn air, held a laat year's almanac iu ber hand and flgnred aa tbe offioiatiag cUrgyman. Wnile Folly, with a piece of moiquito netting over her heail and a boaqnet of bachelor buttons in ber hand, was tho bride.
The most impressiye part of tbe oeremtmy, to tbeir minds, was the throwing of rice and old shoes alter the departing oonple, and tbe insur- moantable diffloolty of introducing this featore into tbeir reproduction caused them much distress.
A bride, Polly complained, couUlu't Tery well throw rice at herself, and,aB Pauline thought it ueeded a bnck or some kind of a conreyance to make tbo thing oomplete, it waa at last reluc¬ tantly decided to omi*. this moat inter¬ esting part ot the marriage.
The wedding procession, conspicu¬ ous for a trilling oversight in tho mat¬ ter of a bridegroom, was on tbe point of starting dowu the barn, where tbo erent wsa taking place, when n young man drove into tke yard and, bitching his horse, rsji.:; the bell to inquire fur the twins' grown up sister.
For a minute the children gazed at each other as the door opened to re¬ ceive bim, then a brilliant idea struck them simaltaneously. Off came Polly's veil and down went Pauline's book.
"That's Charley Bingham come to taka sister to ride,'* gasped Polly, dancing up and dowu in delight.
"I know it," said Pauline excited¬ ly, "and we haven't a minute to lose. Yon run right up to the bouse and got all tbe rice you cau, and I'll borrow some of the neighbors."
"Ob, Mrs. Derrick," she panted breathlessly, a few seconds later, iis she rushed icto that lady's dour, "won't you please let me kave some rice?"
"Why, ckild, what do you want of rice? You are not having a wedding at your house, are you?"
"Yes, ma'am, and please hurry, or it will be too late." "But who is it lor?" "For sister Bne," shouted Pauline, wbo was in too maeh of a hurry to atop for elaborate explanations, ami raced back to meet Polly, who had had the good Inck to find a bag uf the staff whiah tbe grooer had left on the kitohen Ubl«.
''Well, haven't they kept tbat pretty qniat?" inqoirad Mrs. Uerriok of ber (iallar, Mrs. Smitb, as she picked up her kni'.ting, and both ladies drew thair ohairs to tha windows on the sii^e next tbe Peters's honse to watch tha eonrsa of events mors oloaely.
"Thare goaa Parson Hildrcth!" ex- olaimsd Mra. Smitli; and aura enough that raveraad gentleman was seen ooming down the steps next door, hav¬ ing made a call upon tbe twins' father.
"I thought that would be a match aometime; bnt what are those children doing nov?"
Paulina and Polly, in their stneking feat, vera tying white hsir riblious to tke horses' foretops, and two pairs of small sboes were seen dangling under tka carriage. There bad been uo tim* to kant np oast-off symbols uf good Inck, so tbe twins had kastily di vested themselves of their owu foot¬ gear, and ouly mourned that there weren't centipedes when they viewed th* smallneaa of tke collection.
Tb* liltl* girls had barely finished tying tke last knot and skipped into tb* barn after their bags of rice wliou Mr. Bingham csme ont to get his tMUD. He was a desperately shy yonag mao and not eapecially observ¬ ing. Being slightly agitated, to.., it ia donbtfnl whether he would bave noticed bad his horse turned iuto a prancing lebra during his absence, and it is uot strange that the ribbons and other deeorationi failed to attract his attention.
Pretty Misa Susie Peters next sp peared to take her place in tbe oar- riage, and MrJ Bingham bad just gauiered np the reins preparatory to a atart wben a cloud-burst of rice en¬ veloped them, the carriage. Ibe horse, and a good thare of tbe people on tke *tr*ct.
The horse, a nrrvons snimal, start ed vith a jump, and farther irritate.l by the flulteriug ribbons before bis *y*s, swept dowu thn street at a rnn- avay pace. Tbe a'a-ves swung lia.-k aad forth nn.ier tho carnage f.ir some distance, but finally dropped off in front of the office uf The Snuwiille Clipper, a country weekly whoae force lived np to the motto, ".ill the news white it is Dea-a, while it ia fresh."
Editor Dodge, who had a lively rcaKiation of the fact that eternal vigilane* is the price of it»ms, cast bi* *agls *ye out of the win.loa iu tim* to not* tb* ocenpants of tbe fly- ieg earria^, the rice and the shoes itl front of his oSce door.
"Hold on. John," he calleJ to tke foraaaan, who had jnst finished mak iag np Ibe paper. "auloA th.e last forai aad take ont half a column of BWtlar; I will b* bark in a few min- Bt«* vith *om«lbuig to fill in."
So sayiag h* rnshtd oat, and strid- iag «|^-»tra*t utt by aiiaaea th* vary
I lady who bad   been    visiting   Mrs. I Herrick   thst afternoon.
"Heard about the wedding?" she asked him, as bs drew near.
"No; but was just going to find ont ahout it," be answered. "YounR Bingham and Susie Peters, wasn't it? " "Yes; I was next door during tbe ceremony, and It was the qnielest thing in tbe way of a wedding I ever heard of. Mrs. Peters likes so ranch style thst I reckoned she wonld want to make considerable of a spread wben Hnaie wss marrie-l." "Who married them? " "Parson Hildretk, nml ho nas the only person ther© oulaide tbo fsmily. I don't believe tbeir nearest neighbors wonld lisvc known anjibiiig nbout it i( it hsdn't been for the twins. They w,>re un lisnd with tkeir rice and old shoes aod gave tke couple a good send off."
"What was lier dress?" queried Dodge, jotting down the poiuts ssfsat as his garrulous informant brought tbem out.
"Well, sbe did hsve on the queer¬ est rig for a bride —a wbito duck skirt, pink shirt waist snd a plain white sailor bat. Hhe looked real sweet, though, and as they were evidently guing away on a carriage trip it was well onouijh, but not what yon would expect from Mrs. Peters's daughter. No ono would suspect frotn ber dress, though, thst she was n bride, and that is probably what sbe iuteudei^."
"Thaiik j-iiu ever so mui'h, Mrs. Smith," Buid Dodge; "meeting you bas saved me lots of trouble."
Bsck he hurried lo tbe office with gratification so plainly depicted up.in bis countenance tkat tbo i.llers in the square, as tke business part of the town was called, wondered what "Rustler" Dodge bad got onto uow tu make hitn look so happy, and several uld farmers, who had driven down to tho village lo do some trading, decided to wait until nfter the paper was out before going bome; "tbe uomen folks would like tu resd tko news," tbey thoughK
"Now, girls, wake up," said tbe edi¬ tor as ho blew into tUo office, "and set this copy as fast as you can; we have only leu minutes to spare, and it won't do to miss tke mails; people are too anxious to*get Tke Clipper," ke ad¬ ded complacently. "Here is tke flrst tsko," he called, after n moment or two of violently scribbling, aud type began to rattle iuto the sticks with busine-isliko rapidity.
Iu due limp tko article was set up, tke proof taken, read nnd corrected, and -1 o'clock in tko afternoou Tbe Clipper—witk a great news "scoop"— wns awaiting its enger readers iu tke boxes of tbe postofflce,
Mr. Peters was among the first to get tbe paper, bnt without sto)iping tu look at its conteulH bo wended his way kome and tossed tke sheet iuto his wife's lap. ;
"Here mother, is the Illuminstor," bis favorite name for TUo Clipper; "wboro ore the Iwiue?"
"I put them to bed," said Mrs. Peters, unfolding the paper, "tkat tbey might realize kow nsupthty tbey were tkis afternoon, but oh! what is tkis—'Binglinm Peteis,' " aud witk wide distended eyes—korror, indigna¬ tion and amazement in ker wkole at¬ titude, ske began to read tbe news wbile it was news and decidedly fresk:
"BINGHAM PETERS. " ".K very pretty bome welding took place tbis afteruuun nt tbe residence Ilf our estceiued fellow citizen, Mr. .John F. Peters, wbuse eldest duugli- ter. Miss Susan Amelia, wns uuited in marriage to Mr. Charles (lernlJ Bing¬ linm, a rising yuuug lawyer uf Suow."- ville.
"Tke wedding was n very quiet af¬ fair indeed, only tko imraudiato mem¬ bers of the bride's family being pres¬ ent at tke ceremuny, which was per¬ formed by Rev. Dr. Hildretk, pistor ol the First Church.
"The bride, one of Snowsville's fair¬ est daughters, was plainly bnt most becomingly gowued in a white duck skirt and pink shirt waist, ond was at¬ tended by her twin sisters, Pauline oud Polly, who sbuwered the hsppy couple with rice as tbey started away ou a carriage trip.
"Mr. snd Mrs. Hingksm are very populsr young people, and Tke Clip per joins tbeir bust of friends iu ex¬ tending cungratulotious and guud wishes."
' 'Those wretched children," breathed Mrs. Peters, starting to her feet. Pauline and Polly covered their guilty heads with the bed clothes. But the sight of The Clipper turned the direction of ber wrsth, and she glanced at the item again.
"The poor little girl," sbe groaned, "how could anybody hove been su stupid. 'Most liecamiugly gowned iu a white duck skirt and pink shirt waist,'" with sarcastic emphasis. "My daughter married in a shirt waist."
"Don't faint, mother, don't. His esteemed fellow citizen is going right down to interview Editor Dodge, and while I'm gone yuu can write up bis obituary, I'll guarantee that it will be founded uu fad, nt least. Where's my hat? "
But Mrs.   Peters   was   dissolved  in tesrs,   and   before   lier husband suc¬ ceeded   in  finding   his bead covering, alune and unaided,   Susie   and youug Bingham   returned   frum tbeir ride iu a state   of satisfactiun   that  even Tke Clipper was powerless to disturb.   Af¬ ter   tbey  had   read The Clipper's ac-  I count of their wedding,' Mr.   Bingham  I plucked   up   courage to propose   thst  I tbey regard it as a prophecy and pro-   | ceed imme.liately to fultlll it. |
Mrs.   Peters,  in  the   awkwark   cir¬ cumstances     in    which     they    were | placed, approved of tbe idea, aod Mr. Peters, after a time, waa persuaded to tip bis bat at   a   less murderous-look- 1 iug angle, and de[>arted  in   search   of Parson Hililretk instead of the moving i spirit ot the   press,   while   Mr. Bing¬ ham sought tbe t.iwn clerk to procure  ' a license. !
At Ibo inlercessiou of tbeir sister, i the lerm of imprisonment was short- i ened fur tke twins, and they en,ergeil 1 from tboir temporary cunflnement iu a i state of subdueil juyouiinef s tbnt found | expression in a remark from Polly to tke effect that Ibey wuuld play uuthing lint funeral after Ibis.
The cereiiK.iiy was finally performed • ncci.r.liiiK lo the directions laid  down in   The    I'.iiqi.-r.    except    aa    to Itlie l-ride's dress, a   change   in   that par¬ ticular being ttrenuonsly insisted upon by the bride's mother, an.l "the pope-   ! lar   young   pople '  were able   to re¬ ceive   the   congratulations    uf   "their : boats of frienda" with   a placid smile,   j
