TIE LITTLE MESSENGER OF
LOVE.

Twas little sermon preached TO me
BY sweet. unconscious child
A baby girl scarce four years old.
With blue eyes soft and mild.
1t happened on a rainy day;
1, seated in car,
Was thinking. rs / neared my home,
OF the continual jar
And diseord that pervade the air
OF busy city life.
Each carin g hut for number one
elfgain provoking strife.
The gloomy weather seemed to cast
On every face shade,
But on one countenance we're lines
By sorrow deeply laid.
With low-bowed head and hands clasped yiase,
She sat, so poor and old,
Nor seemed to heed the scornful glance
From eyes unkind and cold.
/ looked again. o. sweet indeed
The sight that met my eyesl
Slit ng upon her mothers lap,
v it'll baby face so wise.
Was a wee child with sunny curls,
Blue eyes and dimpled chin,
And young, pure and loving heart
Unstained as yet by sin.
Upon the woman poor and sad
Her eyes in wonder fell,
Til wonder changed to plying love.
Her thoughts, oh, who could tell!
Her tiny hands four roses held;
She looked them DER and DER,
Then choosing out the largest one
She struggled to the fioor.
Across the swaying car she went
Straight to the woman's side,
And putting In the wrinkled hand
The rose, she ran to hide
Her little face in mothers lap,
Fearing she had done wrong,
Not knowing baby as she was,
That she had helped along
The uphill road of life a soul
Cast down, discouraged quite
As on the woman's face there broke
A food of joyous light.
Dear little child she was, indeed
messenger of love
Sent to that woman's lonely heart
From the great Heart above.
This world would be different place
Were each to give to those
Whose hearts are sad so much of love
As went with baby g rose.

are rather addicted to twilight,

Of appearing in the broad light Of day

At haIf.past eight o'clock last evening Mr..

took place at the Fourth Street N. E. Church,
which was almost packed. Indeed, 1t Is

ushers, and they had their handsfull.
There were no other attendants, the ushera
preceding the bride and groom up the aisle
as the notes Of the weddipg march pea'ed
forth from the big organ. At the altar rail
the ushers separated, allowing the contract.
log parties 10 advance TO where DR.. Smith,
pastor OF the church, stood waiting 10 pro-
uounce the words that bound them. to
each other. The bride was arrayed In Bor-
deaux embossed velvet costume with bon.
net to match; 10 her hand she carried a
boauet OF white buds. The groom and his
ushers wore dark suits, Prince Albert coats,
with button hole boquets.
After the ceremony, the invited guests
were driven to the residence Of the brides
mother, on North Main street, where very
pleasant reception took place, lasting until
It was time for Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkinson 10
take the 1855 A. N. train on the B. &
