"NO JUST CAUSE OR IMPEDIMENT."

A rnong tho passengers who got into the London train .at Three Bridges the other day were a bride and bridegroom of the regular " hollyhock " order. Although the long third-class carriage was full of passengers, the pair began to squeeze hands and

hug as soon as they were seated. This of course attracted much attention, and pretty soon everybody was nodding and winking, and several persons so far forgot themselves as to laugh outright. Bye-and-b/o the broad-shouldered and red-handed groom became aware of tho fact that he was being ridiculed, and he stretched himself to tho height of six feet, looked up and clown, and said, "There seems to bo ;or: iJerable nodding and winking about here because I'm hugging the girl who was married to me at ten o'clock this morning, IP the rules of this railway forbid a man hugging his wife after he's paid full faro, then I'm going to get out at the next station ; but, if the rules don't, and this winking and blinking isn't bitten off short when we pass the next telegraph post, I'm going to begin on the front seats and create a rising market for false teeth and crutches." If there were any more winks, or blinks in that carriage the groom did not see them.
