Bryant as a Bridegroom.

In the following letter, extracted
from Mr.. Goodwin's Life and Let
tiers of William Cullen Bryant, the
poet, describes his marriage, which
occurred June II, 1921, at Great
Darlington, Mass, in the house
of the brides sister, a Mrs. Uender-
son:
DEAR MOTHER: Il hasten to send
you the melancholy intelligence of
what has lately happened to me.
Early on the evening of the
eleventh day of the present month
1 was in the neighboring house in
this village. Several people of both
sexes were assembled in one of the
apartments, and three or four others,
with myself were in another. At
last came in little elderly gen
tleman-pale, thin, with a solemn
countenance, pluritic voice, hooked
nose, and hollow eyes. 1t was not
long before we were summoned
to attend in the apartment
where he and the rest of
the company were gathered. We
went in. and took our seats; the
little elderly gentleman with the
hooked nose prayed, and we all
stood up. When he had finished
most of us sat down. The gentle
man with the hooked nose then
muttered certain cabalistic express
sions, which / was too much
frightened to remember, but l recol-
Iect that at the conclusion 1 was
given to understand that l was
married to a young lady of the name
of Francis Fairchild, whom l per-
ceiyed standing by my side, and |
hope in the conrse of a few months
to have the pleasure of introducing
her to you as your daughter-in-laW,
which is a matter Of some interest
to the poor girl, who has neither
father nor mother in the world.
have not "played the fool and
married an Ethiop for the jewel in
her ear" / looked only for goodness
of heart, and ingenious and affection
ate disposition, a good understand
| ing, ETC., and the character Of my
wife Is too frank and single-hearted
to after suffer me fear to that may
be disappointed. 1 do myself
wrong; 1 did not look for these mol
any other qualities, but they
trapped me before was aware, and
now am married in spite of N.Y.

Thus the current of destiny car.
ries us all along. None but a mad.
man would swim against the
stream, and none but fool would
exert himself to swim with it. The
best way is to float quietly with the
tide. So much!for philosophy, now
to business,
Your affectionate son,
WILLIAM.

The VOkes.

On Monday evening the celebrated
VokesY family will begin a four
nights engagement at the SaltLake
Theatre. The Vokes need no rec
ommendation whatever; they need
little printing and no press COM
mendations to draw large audiences.
The mere mention that the troupe
is to appear is sufficient to pack the
house from top to bottom, and the
Theatre is as certain to be crowded
on Monday night as the VOkes fam
lily is to appear. The box Office was
open On Saturday and the demand
was 40 less than expected. Their
list of pieces is advertised else
where, and the delightful character
of their entertainment is certain to
keep the theater-going people in the
best of humor all the coming week

SPIRlTUALISTIC COMMU-
NICATI0N.
Editors Herald:

Editors Herald:
OF course you are aware that in
this city there are many spiritual
lists. Among them may be found
some of the brightest minds Of our
community, and as there seems to
be no recognition made of them as
an element of our society, I ask you
as a favor to these daring intellects,
that you occasionally give them
space in the HERALD.
With your permission, 1 desire
the publication OF the following al
legged spiritual communication,
given to a gentleman Of this city
through medium while under a
magnetic influence, so strong as to
produce Inconsistencies.
The gentleman wrote the name of
his departed wife upon slate, and
requested that she would commune
cate with him.
No person knew what he had
written of course. and Immediately
the medium was entranced and gave
the communication herewith.
The writer stands among the I'M
converted, but believes that the
spiritualists are entitled to all the
cOurtesies due to a congregation I'M
excelled in intellect or numbers,
by any mission church in Utah.
No matter what the source, there
is beyond question in the following
something which suggests pure and
hallowed associations and exalted
sentiments, and [ think you will
find that, as a class, the spiritualists
are more nearly free from the mar
row conceptions common to the So
called reforming agencies in this
very interesting community.
In any case, they believe in utter
independence of thought, and al
except few fanatical ones willingly
extend this to their neighbors.
