The Way Out of It.

A young couple have recently/been sentended to matrimony in rather ft curious way. A young man and a young woman were contesting possession of a piece of property, the one claiming under an old lease, the other under an old will.. "It just strikes me," said the justice, " that there is. a pleasant, and easy way to terminate this .- law suit. The plaintiff appears to be. a very respectable young man, and this is a very nice young woman. They can both get, married and live on the farm. If they go on with the law, proceedings, it will all be , frittered away between the lawyers, who. I am sure are not nngallant enough to wish the marriage not to come off." The young lady blushed, and the young noan stammered " they liked each other fk litie"; so a verdict, was rendered for the plaintiff, on condition of his promise to marry the defendant within two months a stay of execution being put verdict-till the marriage ceremony should be completed. /This u about the first match eye^ rJ made ,jn ; .» iOpurt: ofkuv.
