A Hasty Marriage.

A correspondent writing from JEFF.
| ferson, Greene. county, Iowa sends us
an anecdote of her great uncle, asil.
Illustrative Of the promptness.with
which the men Of the Revolution re-.
sponded to the call Of their country.
AT the beginning Of our War ofIn.
dependence, Major samuelIavrence,
the father of.Boston's two great mer-
chants, Amos and Abbot Lawrence,
lived in Groton. He was the COM
mander Of a company of minute
men," who held themselves ready to-
march against the enemy at a mo-
ment's notice. ~.
The major was engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Susan Parker. Fhe la.
dy's mother suggested that in view
of the uncertain fortunes of war, the
marriage should take place forthwith. !.
"Susie had betterbe Sans widow,..si
she said, ethan his forforn damsel.v
Susie and the major being. Wiling.
the parson was called in. While he
was tying the nuptial knot, a mount.
ed orderly interrupted the ceremony
by handing sealed orders to, Major
Lawrence. They directed him = to
march his men Immediately to the
headquarters of the American army.
The major delayed obedience long
enough to complete the ceremony,
and then, giving the bridal and fare
well kiss, assembled his men and
marched
On reporting himself to his COM
manding officer he was complimented
upon his promptness. Learning the
circumstances under which the ma
jor had marched, the officer procured
him fnrlough. For a few days the
major enjoyed honeymoon, and re-
turned to duty.
The major lived to see fifty years
Of American Independence, and to
raise an honored family.

could utter syllable.
A white, ghastly, shivering figure
stood by the window.
"For Gods sake, Madge Smith, tell
me you were but jestingl" he cried,
as brilliantly, glowingly beautiful,
she glided into the room.
"Not so my FRIEND" she answered
lightly; q spoke the truth. If you
overheard my words, | need not re-

Two hours afterward, the sharp

feet, save Madge Smith. Perhaps
her cheeks paled q little-1 cannot
