A Winning Way.

THERE once lived in a certain household
a damsel from the green isle of Erin,
whose name was Mary Ann. To singu-
larly ungraceful and bullying figure, a
walk resembling that of lame and dis.
Outraged duck, and a very marked and
obtrusive squirt, Mary Ann added the un-
fortunate distinction of having had the
smallpox. Her face was scanned and scar
red from the topmost bit of her forehead to
the lowcrmost bit of her double chin, and
altogether she made upon one who saw
her for the first time the impression of
something at once pitiful, sad and gro
tesque. A woman who has made an utter
failure in the line of beauty is always an
object of compassion and In a lesser de-
gree of wonderment.
To Mary Ann, as to prettier demoiselles,
however, there came day of triumph
and delight. A youthful compatriot of
her own came a-wooing, and to him it
was nothing that her eyes squinted, that
her hair was carroty, and that her face
was sight to behold. He loved her. and
his love like an enchanted mirror trans
formed her ugliness into satisfying CONT
illness and grace. She pleased him, and
his counting sped smoothly on.

she in her innocent selfglorification
dreamed. We have seen charming faces,
fresh in tint, and dimpling with youthful
loneliness, that absolutely seemed to have

THERE ARE ANGELS LOWERING ARoUND-Two
BODIES SPIRITUALLY ONE.
From an Occasional Correspondent of the Sentinel.
SALEM, IND, June 24-Our little CITY is
again the theater of an unusual, not to say
exciting, occurrence; this time not in the
shape OF a blood-curdl ing murder or an ex-
ecutien by mob, but real live genuine
sensation in our social circles. Or late we
have been quite frequently visited by ven
cradle gentleman hailing from about the
falls of the Ohio, Gardner Knapp by name,
aged about 20 years, about six and one-ha1f
feet high, with long and luxurious beard
and thin locks of grey hair, with lofty and
dgnifed bearing, and walks as erect
and straight as North American Indian
Heis and has long been known as a genu-
inc spir1tualist, one that processes to hold
direct communication with the spirit world
His visits to this place have been made tor
the obvious purpose of paying court to a
distinguished young lady of this vicinity,
Miss La Mira p Hobbs, daughter of DIR.
Seth Hobbs. This family are also well
known as spiritualists. Miss Hobbs is aged
about 80 years. On last evening Mr.. Knapp
invited the guests at the Hungate House
and a few select guests, and when they had
assembled in the parlors of the hotel, with
the marriage ceremony, according to their
views, was performed as follows:
Friends and fellow citizens, ladies and
conference.-the, Gardner Knapp and La
Mira p. Hobbs, believing that our hearts
and souls are already matrimonially united,
appear before you now thus publicly TO cele-
brate the contamination of our union. We
hold the opinion that neither Church nor
state has any moral or equitable right to in
terfere with, or any Just claim to be con-
suited in reference TO the arrange
ments that our spontaneous sentiments and
sympathies have prompted us to make.
Therefore, in nOn-confOrmity TO and DIS
regarding the rules and regulations in such
case made and provided by what is called
society, we adopt such form as to our
judgments and consciences seem most Just
and proper. And now, in the presence of
these witnesses and of our invisible spirit
friends here assembled, we proclaim, pub
lish and declare ourselves husband and wife:
and may God and the angel world add their
blessings. lant TO ~ .aeei 81 ga
The above is the entire ceremony Just as it
occurred; then followed the usual congratu-
lations, which the pair accepted with I'M
usual grace and complaoency.

MEMORIAL HALL.

The following poem was read by DIR,
Oliver Wendell Holmes at the dedication OF
Memorial Hall at Harvard College, which Is
to the memory of those sons OF
Harvard who died in the service Of their
during the late war:
Where, girt around by savage foes,
Our nurturing Mothers shelter rose, F
Behold, the lofty temple stands, ~
Reared by her children's grateful dandsl
Firm are the pillars that defy
The volleyed thuuders of the SKY:
Sweet are the summer wreaths that twine
With bud and flower our martyr shrine
The hues. their tattered eolors bore
Fall miDgiing on the sunlit floor,
Till evening spreads her spangled par,
And wraps in shade the stored hall.
Firm were their hearts in dangers hour,
Sweet was their manhood's morning hover!
Their hopes WITH rain bow hues were bright
How swiftly winged the sudden hight!
d, Motheri on thy marble page
The children read, from age 10 age,
The mighty word that upward leads
Through noble thought 70 nobler deeds.
Truth, heaven born Truth, their fearless guide,
The saint have lived, thy heroes died!
Our love has reared their earthly shrine,
Their glory be forever thine!
