long courtship with strange termina-
ton was that Of Mr.. Joel Wicker Of Chicago.
Seven years ago he instituted as mistress of
his house, vice his deceased wife, Sarah Ga
Ian, pretty young. Swedish girl. Sarah be-
ing pretty, Rnd Joel susceptible, it was but
natural that he should proceed to fall In love
with her, which he did at once and told her
of the circumstance. Sarah could not find it
in her heart to refuse her kind employer and
his thousands, and an early day was named
for their marriage. The day came and pass
ed, but the wedding did not the sentiments
Of Mr.. Wicker had changed decidedly he
concluded that he didn't want to marry the
girl, after all, and in spite of her eager de.
sire that he should name another " early
day." he refused to be definite, and in this
unsatisfactory manner four years passed.
These were lonely years for the loving Sarah,
and, grieved beyond endurance at his mex
cusable delay, she made, at length, deter
mined effort, and ardently exhorted the delin-
quent to fulfill his promise, and at once.
At this juncture the iastidious Wicker con-
cluded that Sarah did not possess the requ-
site culture to adorn his mansion, 80 he sent
her to Detroit boarding. school, FROM which
she returned at the end Of a year, an accom-
plished lady But not even then was he
ready to marry her, and for two more years
he employed two detectives to shadow her,
throw all manner Of temptations in her way,
and bring him evidence Of her unchastity
in vain, for they reported her as vrtuous, as
she was intelligent and handsome. Then the
fire offered another pretext for delay he had
lost everything he felt compelled, as gen.
tleman, to release her from the engagement
20, no, she would wed him for his noble
self" This was too much for Wicker, and
he resolved to have nothing more to do with
her, but he was disappointed, for she brought
n S75, 900 breach of promise suit to bear up
on him. He fought it, but vainly and, only
a short time SINCE intimated his willingness,
to make good his promise. The joyful occasion
was celebrated in Justices office, and thu
groom, declaring with an oath that he sup
posed he must marry the girl" and barely
touching her fingers and giving gruff re
sponses, submitted. He proposed to go Of
alone, but his CHEEKY little wife said " No
let's go home," and home they went wher
it is to be hoped her sweetness will conque
his heart, as her will has his hand,

THE tDroT nov.

It hath pleased God to form poor Ned
A thing Of idiot mind,
Yet, 10 the poor unreas ming boy,
God hath not been unklnd
old Sarah loved her helpless child,
Whom helplessness made dear
And he was everything 10 her.
Who knew no hope or fear.
She knew his wants, she understood
Each halfartlculate call.
For he was everything to her,
And she to him was all
And so for many year they lived,
Nor knew wish beside,
But age at last on Sarah zane,
Aud she fell sick and died.
lie tried in vain to waken her,
lie called her DER and DER,
They told him she was dead
The words 10 him no import bore.
They closed her eyes and shrouded her,
While he stood wondering by,
And when they bore her to the grave
lie followed silently.
They laid her in the narrow house,
They sung the fin'ral stave,
And when the fun'ral train dispersed
lie fingered by the grave.
The rabble crowd that used to jeer
Whene'er they saw poor Ned,
Now stood and watched him by the grave,
And not word they said.
They came and went and came again
Till night at last came on,
Yet still he fingered by the grave
Till every one had gone.
And when he found himself alone
He swim removed the clay,
Then raised the coffin up In haste,
And bore it swim away.
lie bore It to his mothers cot,
And laid 1t on the floor,
And with the eagemess ofjoy
lie barred the cottage door.
Then out he took his mothers corpse,
And placed it in a chair,
And soon he hesped the kindling hearth,
And made the hre Win care.
lie put his mother in her chair,
And in her wonted place,
And then he blew the fire.
Which shone reflected in her face.
And pausing new, her hand would feel
And then her face behold;
Why, mother, Go you look 80 pale,
And why are you so cold ~
Il had pleased God from the poor wretch
His only friend to call;
Yet God was kind TO him. and soon
In DEATH restored him ALL.
And when the neighbors on next morn
Had burst the cottage door.
Old Sarah's corpse was in the chair,
And Ned's upon the floor.

THE PETRIFIED FERN.

In valley, centuries ago,
Grew little fern-leaf green and slender,
Veining delicate, and hbres tender,
Waving when the wind crept down so low;
Rushes tall and grass and moss grew round it,
Playful sunbeams darted in and found ii.
But no foot of man e'er came that way
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
UseleSs' Lost, There came thoughtful man
Searching nature secrets far and deep;
From assure in a rocky steep,
lie withdrew a stone DER which there ran
Fairy peneillings, quaint design
Leaiage, veinage, flowers, clear and fne
And the ferns life lay in every line
So | think God hides Some lives away,
Sweetly to surprise US the last day

SOME time since we made mention OF
the fact that three witnesses In the cell
ebrated Stokes case had been for a
long period confined at the House OF
Detention, In New York City, and
that an effort was being made for their
release under a writ Of habeas corpus.
Dispatches inform us that the motion
for their discharge has just been
argued, and las been denied by Judge
Pratt. This settles the question so far
as they are concerned, and renders
them liable to imprisonment until the
termination Of this notorious case,
even il It should last the full period OF
their natural lives, unless some
wealthy person, plying them, should
offer sufficient bail for their appear
ance. It may be Justice, but 1t Is

to know anything about the murder.
