Sunday Marriage Engagement Valid.

An opinion was filed a few days ago
in the Supreme Court, in the case of
Charles Markley, bachelor of SO years,
against whom Eliza Kessering, a maid
en- of SO, obtained a verdict OF S99S.75,
in the Lancaster County Court, for
breach of promise of marriage. The
parties in this love affair lived in May
town, Lancaster County. An engage
ment of marriage took place on Sunday,
the 10th day Of August, 1879. The
courtship had been very short, and was
minus the warmth of heart usually dis
played in such preliminaries. Indeed,
the engagement was spoken of as most
extraordinary affair. Markley pur-
chased his lady love number of pres
ents, and seemingly prepared for the
wedding day. What fire was in his
heart, however, suddenly cooled, and
one evening he told Miss kessering,
who was a seamstress, that he was too
old and lame to get married. He gave
as reason that his father was lying at
the point of death, and it would not be
proper to marry under such circum-
stances. His sweetheart never spoke to
him again, but straightway Instituted
proceedings to recover balm for the
affection of her heart. The jury before
whom the case was tried was a business
like one, and, by their verdict, they cal
culated to the very cent the injury Miss
Kessering had sustained. Mark,ey's APP
Deal to the Supreme Court was based
upon several reasons, the most import
ant OF which was that the alleged Can
tract of marriage had taken place Ga
Sunday, and was, therefore, invalid, the
same as any other contract, business
like or social, made on that day. The
opinion of the Supreme Court in sus-
tanning the verdict of the Jury says that
there was nothing in any of the assign
ments of error to warrant reversal
The case was properly submitted to the
Jury, and the fact that the contract Of
marriage was entered into on Sunday
could NOT avail, in view of the evidence
which was overwhelming, 70 the effect
that the engagement had been snbse
quently recognized by Markley.-Reat
ing (Pa.) Times.

ATramn,s phIlasonhy

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant
pulled in by the police the other night
was memorandum book full of his
own writing with pencil, and some OF
his philosophy is good enough to be
preserved. His first paragraph reads:
drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting in the way OF
bullets purchased by an enemy
A second reads:
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with second best. II
is hard to be honest on an empty stom-
ach."
"A dry plank under a rain-proof
shed is better than feather bed in Jail,
and one isn't annoyed by the jailer
bringing in square breakfast"
A fourth says:
"Pay as you go. If you haven't any
thing to pay with don't go. If you are
forced to 60 record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle bills"
The fifth explains:
eve should have charity for all.
When the winter winds blow cold and
drear we vags should pity the poor fell
lows in India who are having red hot
weather"
A sixth is recorded:
"Politeness costs nothing, but it is
not expected that you will wake man
up at midnight to ask permission to go
through his hen-house. 1t is more
courteous to let him enjoy his needed
repose."
The seventh and last was noted down
as follows:
"When you pick up an apple core do
not find fault because it is not the APP
pie itself, but be satisfied with the
grade of descent. Do not be ashamed
of your occupation. We cannot all be
lords, nor can we all be Migrants. AS
/ cannot be lord / should not lament
at being vagrant. Be truthful and
outspoken- that is, tell 'em you are a
Chicago fire sufferer. Keep seasonable
hours or some other vags will get your
plank first. Be hopeful, cheerful and
good-natured. Growing won't cure a
sore heel"

A PROSECUTED BRIDEGROOM.
Arrest of a Boston Man, Three Days
After his Marriage, Tor Desc rting
from the Army in 1873.

A case of prese cution which is excit-
ing great Indignation in Somerville has
Just come to light. The circumstances
are as follows: In 1866, Charles E.
Trask, of this city, then 16 years old,
enlisted in the United States army and
served three years. He then re-enlist-
ed, and was in the service continuously
until 1878, when he found himself, with
his comrades of battery d, I'd artillery,
in close proximity to yellow-fever at
Charleston, S. G. The young man had
but eighteen months to serve, and, not
caring to die away from home, quietly
slipped away, in other words, deserted
and came home. He told no one that
he had left the service surrepttiously,
and has been engaged in honest bust
ness in that city ever since. A few
months ago he became enamoured of
Miss Mary Bellew, of Somerville, and
successfully prosecuted his suit. The
young lady's brother was bitterly op-
posed to the match, and vowed that,
by some means or other, they would
break it up. In this, however. they
were unsuccessful, for the lovers were
married last Wednesday. Three days
latter came the revenge, when file of
soldiers from Fort Warren, accom-
panied by civil officer, arrested the
bridegroom and incarcerated him in
Fort Warren on the charge of desertion.
Trask is without doubt guilty Of the
charge, and unless popular sentiment
able to bring abont revocatism of
sentence he will be obliged to wear a
ball and chain.
