ALL BUT BURIED.

There are goodly number of people
alive at the present time who know the
great horrors of the cholera plague of
1882.
In the town of Prescott, ia Canada,
just across tho St. Lawrence river from
Ogdensburg, N. Y. this terrible scourge
ragged with terrific virulence, and many
who were in that little place well and
happy in tho early morning were buried
by evening aud-,nearly forgotten. But
will relate an incident of this dreadful
time aud unfortunate place, which,
though very serious from tho impending
consequences that were about to happen,
happily turned out without dire disas.

A young married couple, Kews by
name, had recently moved into this
little town, aud were completely wrap

for themselves and the enjoyment Of
their honeymoon, which, with them, had
but fairly begun. They were an affect.

derry. They were not wealthy, but
wore happy and contcnted, and content
imont is better than tho riches of Ophir
with disContentment.
They were only fairly settled and liv-
ing in earnest when the cholera made
its appearance in Prescott. They felt q
pardonable uneasiness as friends around
them were being stricken down, and in
u short time thereafter carried, in a
rough manner, without kindred or other
mourners, to a shallow pit, and rudely
thrust in and, in twinklipg, buried
from sight
They kept on in the place and did
everything they could to ease tho atllict.

and knew that either of them might be

While they were human, they were

A SERIOUS WEDDING JOKE.

There was wedding trip in jest in
Laveta, Colorado, week or two since.
The parties were F. d. MclIolland, dep-
uty sheriff of Huerfano county, +. A.
Palmer, agent Of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, aud another gentleman,
whose name was not printed, but he is .
sawyer and has . bigswmill somew here.
The young ladies were Kate Lewis, Ad.
die Patterson aud Laura Patterson, of
Laveta. The gentlemen were visiting
the ladies and running out of small talk
ono them proposed to the three giddy
girls to have marriage ccreInonies-in
fun, of course. They thought it would
be splendid, and paired of accordingly.
A messenger was sent for third party
to help carry out tho game-and all went
merry till be came. He WAS W. A. Tof.
felmire very innocent looking man in
appearance. He was told what was
wantod, and nothing loath, he oficiated
at tho family altar. When the ceremo-
MES were over one of the girls said it
was the jollieSt joke she ever saw played.
Joke" said Tofelmfe, "its no Joke.
Tin justice Of the peace, and you're
all fast married" Then there was q cho-
rus of screams and faints. The girls
had never dreamed of getting mar
ried in earnest. The gentlemen, IL
appears, did, and they played it finely.
They had hoodwinked the girls with
merrmcnt. What was to bs done. STbe
first thing 10 do'was to get the gentle.
men Of the party out Of that house, and
they went without further ceremony
than q pressing invitation to leave
given by the old folks who lived there
and didn't know what was going on in
the psrlor.
The three mon went to their respective
homes crestfallen. It was not half a.
funny as anticipated, for they imagined
the girls would give in when they found
out how they had been married BY
stealth. Divorce Is tho only remedy
that can be applied unless they finally
conclude to stick, and one at least ought
to stick out of three.

A STRANGE STORY.

One night In 1901 = little girl about
one year old WAS left at the founding
hospital At Brest. She was well dressed,
and. . note pinned to her skirt stated
that her name was Solange, and that
she would eventually be reclaimed BY
her father. She grew up, however, 10.
claimed, and extraordinarily lovely but
her intellect appeared to bs weak, and
she suffered from fits Of nervousness.
At II she was sent into the streets to
sell flowers, until her health failed, aud
she died. According to 4 custom in the
district, she was buried in y wicker
basket, and it being winter and the soil
hard, q very slight excavation was made
and the sand thrown lightly over. Dur.
ing the night she revived from the trance
which had been mistaken for death, and
at length crept from grave. In crossing
the grounds between the cemetery and
the Qualifications she was stopped by the
sentinel's "Oui vive? and not answer
ing, fired at, very slightly wounded and
brought into the guarl-house. Her
beauty made an intense impression on
. rich young officer named Kramer, who
sont her to school in Paris. For four
years he was tossed about in the war,
but on returning to Paris found SolaDge
an accomplished girl, without trace Of
the nervous debility which had afflicted
her. They married and lived happily
in Paris. At length Capt Kramer
learned that inquiries were being made
at Brest as to what had become Of the
girl. at the foundling hospital in 1901.
and that these inquiries were made at
the instance Of the Swedish smbassa-
dor, with whom Captain Kramer com.
mnnicated. Tho result was that .
month later Nine. Kramer received =
formal acknowledgment from Marshal
Bernadotte, afterward Charles XIV, of
Sweden, that she was his daughter.
They subsequently settled in Stockholm,
were enobled, and their son became an
attache to the Swedish legation in Paris.

Why Senator Gordon Resigned.

The father of ex-United States Senator
Gordon, of Georgian old man of So
writes IA pathetic letter to The Atlanta
Constitution defending his sons resigna-
ton of his seat. The old man says {:
my son made me visit in March
last, and while here he said to me, Pa,
l am tired of public life. 1 crave the
peace and quietude of my home and
home affairs besides, 1 can't save up
any money out of my salary, and the
idea of dying and leaving my family
without competency troubles me no
little. He then went on to say that if
he was out of the Senate he could make
a great deal more money, and would
have to spend a great deal less, and
added that he had about concluded to
resign, feeling that the public interests
would not suffer thereby, and his private
interests would be protected. 1 advised
him to that course and urged him not TO
DELAY IT,"

to my affections, and third reluctant

! So ended their sad stories; and after
tea we walked into garden. 1t was q
small garden, with four sides and cir
cular center, SO small that, as we walked
round we were like the names in a
round-robin, it was difficult to say which

feshless. The next time 1 Travelled that

those of the better classes around is an

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
To a Plaie Of InasEi.

Inscrutablel Though subter than the shhinx,
Thou hast mo- inspiration for the hind;
The dullard deals with thee nor ever thinks
To ask thee for the food that feeds the mind.
But for the poet, seeking truth, thou art
lofty ideal and doubt supreme;
wonder, delight, thing apart,
The changeful fringe Of an Elusive dream.
The soul that Is attuned to ideal things,
Beholding thee, fairy grotto Sees
Thou dost upift Imagnation's wings
And fancy reyelleth in thy mysteries.
Oh hash thou hidest from thy votary's sight
More secrets than are wrapped in death and night.
