THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Man cannot draw water from an empty well.
Or trace tho stories that gossips tell,
Or gather the sounds of q pealing bell.
Man never can stop the billows roar,
Nor chain the winds till they blow ne more,
Nor drive true love from maiden's door.
Man cannot o'ertake heeting lie.
Change his wheat to field Of rye.
Or call back years that have long gone by.
Man cannot a cruel word recall,
Fctter n thought, be il great or small.
Or honey extract from a drop of gall.
Man never can bribe old Father Time,
Gain he height of a peak he cannot climb,
Or trust tho hand that hath done crime.
Man never can backward turn tho tide,
Or count tho stars that are scattered wide.
Or find in a fool trusty guido.
Nun cannot reap fruit from worthless seed.
Rely for strength on a broken reed.
Or gain heart he hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope true peace to win,
Pleasure without and JOY within,
Who ever went back on trusted friend.

" An occasion of great interest in Mid
dlcbury was the marriage of Mrs. Beau
melle Il. Sturtevant of Middlebury and
Edward W. Peet of Haywards, Cal.
which took place on the evening of We'd
nesday last, at the residence of Prof.
Ezra Brainerd, Rev. Mr.. Speare ofliciat-
ing. Mr.. Peet is n Vermontcr in the
prime of life. lie is spoken OF as large
importer of stock and sheep. Reared in
Cornwall, VT. he early sought fortune
in wider sphere, and at length settled
in the Golden State. He now returns to
claim as his wife the one whom as his
playfellow in their happy school days
his boysh heart set high above all 9TH
ers. Mrs. Sturtevant has many warm
/ friends and admirers Throughout this
State. A prominent member of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
from its beginning, she has of late Ia
bored for this best of causes as State or

the relatives of the contracting parties
and personal friends of the bride, in
Guiding Mr.. and Mrs. f.. G. Greene of
Mrc 10 of
the w. G. Il. L. of Vermont. The bride
was tastefully arrayed in plum-colored
velvet, decorated with pink and white
china asters. During the ceremony she
stoed in the same place that she did
when she was united to her first husband,
seventeen years ago. Upon the wall,iust
back of her hung the portrait of her
mother. Mrs. +. ID. Rockwell, deceased,
as though overlooking the scene. There
were those present who attended the first
wedding. They will remember that wine
was given to the guests. Although it
was temperance home, wine was con-
sidered indispensable on an occasion of
ceremony in those days. Now, wine at
wedding is rarely seen; so we see there
is advancement in public opinion as well
as private sentiment. Conspicuous among
the many handsome presents was an al
bum quilt, the gift of the temperance
women of the State, with the names of
the donors written thereon; also Il gold
chain from some ladies of the Middle
bury unien. The collation. was furnished
by A. w. Langmaid, caterer, of Rutland.
1t was elaborate and faultless, and artis-
tically served. After the ceremony the
bridal pair took the evening train for
New FORK, but will return and give re-
ception at the Addison House parlors,
March % and April 3. May prosperity
attend them through all their journey
ings, and peace and happiness abide
with them in their distant home.
