CUPID LAUGHS AT AGE.
' Aged Darkies Wed at Due WestGroom
Married Three Times
and Bride Four.
Due West, S. C., .July 25.?A romance.
winch has attracted no small
attention in this quiet village, culminated
most happily a few davs a?-o
when "Uncle" Peter Brownie*', a-ed
about .90. and three times wedded, was
i mamed to "Aunt" Elsie Scott, aired
about ,3. and four times married.
these old colored people are known
to every person of this eommunilv
and belonir lo the rapidly disappearing
class of "?|,1 darkies.
nele ' iVier has worked in and
about the village for many vears. and
knows every while man of any prominence
in Ibis community. "Aunt"
Klsie Scott has cooked and washed
and cleaned lawns for manv of the
families of Due West and is well
known here.
I nele Pete,- has many children,
as has Aunt Elsie, and these children
objected most decidedly to the mariiaye.
They tried in many ways to
have the ceremony postponed, but the
? d l)0opb' persisted, and were marr,(Hl
^ A. M. E. riiurch in the
])resence of a larire crowd of colored
people and considerable number of
whites who had jralhered lo witness
the ceremony.
. Aunt Elsie was dressed within an
i inch of her life. She wore while or*
ffandie and a Ion? veil, and carried a
bouquet of white flowers. She marched
up I he aisle with a slcp as firm as
thai of a damsel of twenty summers.
ITer white costume was made complete
by a pair of while shoes.
^Tnele Peter was attired in eonven/
''lack. Tn every day life Uncle
Peter stoops somewhat and the
wei<r!,t of the years rests heavily on
us shoulders. But on this occasion
he endeavored to keep pace with the
white shoes of the bride and all presenf
conceded that I he -room was all
i In ||,e mustard.
T nele Peter's happiness was manifest
in his every step and in a countenance
that positively shone in the
amp Ir-.-lit. When the last words of
ceremony were said Uncle Pete,
could contain himself ?o lono-e,- nnd
broke out with "TTaw! T la w! Haw!"
i, in' n v?iee. The audience tillered
audibly, and for a moment it. seemi
fori l! t ? etCl' WOuld bry?k
, int0 Aunt Elsie, who had
been watching- the toes of her white
shoes demurely, saw that it was up to
?er to save the situation. She realized
perhaps t|,at this was the last wedding
m which she would play a leadmg
part, and she desired it to close
V ,l,in* swlcnm gravity befitting- a
church wedding. There must have
>cen an warning pressure of the arm,
Vr ll*<f jubilant groom recovered
hi nisei t alter t hat one Iriumphant exclamation,
and marched from the
budding with his head in the air. and
paying la tic attention t? the orsran,s<*,
vvI,? w:,s striving earnestlv to
"lake ilie wedding march keep'pace
with the disappearim*- couple.
I'lic ceremony was witnessed hy
many people, both white and colored.

Reverence For Age. j
I here is an old story which illus-j
tiatcs revcrcncc which the ancients j
felt for old age. Into one of the'
greatest amphitheatres of Greece, filled
to the gates with a throng assembled
to witness the athletic games so
popular in those days, an aired man '
went one day. Every scat was taken. I
One hundred Athenian boys sat on!
one side: as many Spartan youths
sat on the other side. Seeing the old
man, the Atlicnian boys, true to their
instruction, rose and uncovered their j
heads, but not one went ,-o far as l<>!
otter bis place t<> I bo a trod man.
He turned toward the Spartan side.
Ml rose and. bowing low. each prof- 1
fered liis seat, whereupon the A then- j
inn lads broke out in prolonged ap- !
j nlause. i
The old man paused, smiled and !
bowing, said: "The Athenian knows '
what reverence for old ago is: the '
Spartans show that reverence."
Ts it not true that many of us are \
\ little slow in extendiim* that respect |
to old aire which wo know belongs to !
