Reversed the Order.
A voting clergyman who was of a
shy disposition was rather embarrassed

usual order of the service, thus
making the bridegroom promise to
love and obey his blushing bride.

dawned upon the father of the
bride that a mistake had occurred,
and he said to the clergyman: "1
believe, Mr. Blank, you have made
John promise to love and obey my
daughter. Ah, well,' he added after
a pause and with a sly look at
his better half, "1 suppose it won't
matter much; it generally comes to
that in the eiul anyway."?Exchange.
