OWED HIN ONE.

Quite an interesting wedding, says the
Little Rock Gazette, was celebrated at the
Atlantic Hotel last light. Some time ago
Thomas Lustef, necessarily very bright
young man, fell desperately lii love with
Miss Margaret Rice. Miss Rice was the
divorced wife of man named Henry Rob-
ertson, but that made no difference with
the ardent lover. The charms Of the
young woman had made tie hair stand
sentimeEtaily on the head of Mr.. Luster,
with a love that was more than love. :"
How such a love can be bestowed is some
thing that newspaper man hasn't time to
investigate, but as he hasn't time TO
question such emotional desperation,
ne must simply allow Mr.. Poe, who
is dead and therefore can not defend
himself, to remain master of the heart.
moving situation. The ceremony was per,
formed by Justice Pears. The bridegroom
was nervous. Robertson, the former hus-
band, had followed the couple. The bride
groom had many reasons to believe that
Robertson, as the divorced husband Of the
bride, meditated revenge. The bridegroom
trembled. The bride shook. A doctor
who was present thought that he had a
chill. After the ceremony the divorced
husband approached the bridegroom and
said :
81 have followed you because 1 owe you
one"
The bridegroom shook.
Yes, sir; owe you one, and propose
to pay it right here"
The bridegroom shook violently.

ANOTHER FAITH CURE IN ANSWER TO
PRAYER

With fervency that at times moved his
hearers to tears, s. T. Delavan, an old
resident of West Philadelphia, preached
yesterday afternoon and again last evening
in the Little Christian Hall, at Forty first
and Market streets, on the power Of prayer
and faith in God, as illustrated in his own
case Mr.. Delavan resides at No. 542 Sill
liman street, where for seven years he lay
abed in an agony of pain and utterly help
less. The announcement was made public
on Saturday, by Rev. j. Ringrose, that " a
man who had been paralyzed for seven
years, but who was healed In a moment as
a result of faith in God, would relate his
experience at the service, and to listen to
the details of this marvellous case the resi-
dents of Philadelphia filed the hall
on both occasions. There were
present many members of an Amer
lean Mechanics Lodge and Manchester
Council, of which organization Mr.. Delevan
was & member, who had watched at his
bedside during his long prostration, and
were there to bear mute witness to his mar
velous relation. the story, as told re-
porter by the miraculously cured man,
was an interesting one. He said that eight
years ago this coming June his first severe
doctors, some of them eminent, of whom |
had five" Mr.. Delevan went on to say,
began to interest themselves in my case.
Finally one after another of them dropped
off, telling my friends that l must die. I
had no use of my body, with the exception
OF my arms. Opiates had no effect, be-
cause had become accustomed to them
Tae agonies I suffered during these seven
long years no tongue can express. Every
moment | expected to drop into eternity.
Four weeks ago, between the hours of IL
to at night l heard the voice OF God as
distinct as l hear my own why not
trust God to heal?' Then again heard the
voice ask Can you not trust God to
heal?' For the third time the same voice
asked: will you not trust God to heal !?
l prayed and answered, Yes From
that moment | was convinced that / had
the power of Christ in me- That night
my pain ceased. I could lift my left
limb to ease my spine. The next morn
ing l got down on my knees for the first
time in eight years. l have been walking
about as you see me to-day ever since"
Mr.. D,lavan is a man apparently so years
of age. He does not look as if he had
undergone anything more serious than
commonplace illness. For an hour he
stood up and talked very earnestly to the
audience in the hall. At times, in pictur.
ing his sufferings and telling of his recov.
cry by divine means, he was eloquent.
He sought to draw great moral lesson
from his case. He said that before and
during his sickness he had never been
aught but nominal Christian until divine
aid came to him. He had done a great
deal of good for God and considerable that
was bad for the devil He claimed
that he now had the power of Christ in
him, and that if he died that moment he
would go to heaven. Philadelphia Times.
