down 70 take a.lltti0 hand IN the game.
The drifts grew deeper, conductors
commenced to look serious and the re.
suit may be readily guessed. The
: train was stuck fast in q snow.drift, the
storm was constantly increasing, and
the outlook, to say the least, was rather
dubious. Forty miles had the young
man to go. but it might as well have
been four hundred. AS the hours came
and went he became desperate, and At
last telegraphed to the tO-be father-in.
law the situation. The reply came:
Come on; we are waiting for you.'
But the young man couldn't go, and he
SO intimated over the telegraph wires.
At last it came the hour for the cere-
mony, and guests and relatives had as
sembled at tho house, while the min-
lister was momentarily expected. Only
one thing was wanting, and that was
the young man who was tearing out his
hair in the snow-bank. EveryoAn
knows the prejudices existing again.
postponed marriages, and the bride
wept, but without avail, though her
tears were warm enough and copi0us
enough to have thawed the snow for
twice the distance. Among the guests
was telegraph operator, and in hap
Ply moment he was struck by . bright
thought, and he lost no time in com.
municating it. Distance should be OBJ
liberated and the couple should be mar
ried by the aid of telegraph. The
guests were delighted with the sugges.
ton. the bride dubious. but at last she
consented to make the experiment.
Fortunately, the telegraph Office was
not far distant, and the wire was soon
stretched TO the house, while the OPP
orator got his instruments in order and
made a connection. The young man
was notified of what had taken place
and what was about to take place, and
instructed to conduct himself accord
ingly.. He was little dazed by the
scheme. but seon recovered, and, tax
ing his place at the side of the operator
in the station. he announced that he
was ready for business. The minister
made the service as short as possible,
but the replies came very readily, and
were awaited with breathless interest
by tho assembled company. 1t was
curious scene, and when at last the
minister announced "What love Che
was Unitarian) and the telegraph
have joined together let no man cut
asunder," there was an enthusiastic
round of applause. The young man
was not there, and yet he was married.
The girl was not within forty miles of
the man she loved, and yet she married
him. 1t was the triumph of science
over Observation-Disclosures IN. ~
