The young man, addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, and promised reform if the lady would consent to marry him, and had signed the jiledge. He had been on trial for months, but, as the bride turned to him as they stood side by side before the minister, she caught the odor of whisky on his breath, and detected signs of incipi ent intox'cation. She closed the ex traordinary scene by stating that she ould not trust her future to a man lu> had broken a promise so solemn- made. Expostulations and en treaties were ail in vain. The wed ding did not take place.—Chicago Infer- Ocean. BUS %j» p IDIIRIECOTOIR/y.
