the atage that "Truth is stranger |
than fiction"
Thirteen years ago to-uight--let
rue see-yes, the first Of January,
1859, l took upon me the marriage
vows to love, honor and obey the
QUE whom / loved above all, on
earth. We had been engaged for
more thapa a year, and | had been
very impatient for the engagement
to terminate. Charley had ''gonc
west tc make his lortune," as o
great many young men do, leaving
their alliances to watch and pray
for their speedy return.
The, most cf stories hare the
lover 60 to the Pacific coast, and
having picked up q fortune in .
fabulonsly short time, come back TO
his faithful Penelope with 4 large
diamond ring to replace the simple
gold band. But my lover was smore
OF che real and less inagindri,is,
and had contented himself with go
ing to Nebraska, which at that
time, was considered as the jump.
ing-off place, and, settled on q quar-
ter-section Of land, had erected a
'cage' for his "bird \" and after
making other improvements, had
come back for me, and | was eagerly
looking forward to the moment
when we would start for our future
home.
Ibid not expect to find q palace,
ally exquisitely furnished, for Char
ley had told me it was constructed
of logs, and had attempted to ter
rify me by saying | should have to
climb up a ladder to reach the sec
ond story; hut this did not discon'
cert me in the least, but in my i'm
agination / had pictured the floor
polished until it would shine, the
windows bright and scrupulously
clean, the little tlowerbed before
the house should bo filled with ger
aniums and tulips, and q morning
glory was to be twined over the
door.
I had everything arranged and
planned beforehand, and How in a
few hours | would be on the way
there. The next morning was
lovely. The sun rose bright, and
the air, though cold, was clear and
h-on;nor All p01urn looked hpau.
