Sarah Perry's Romance
Lovers Married after Forty Years of Sep
aration.
Stranger than Fictisn.

FALL RIVER, 18S5.-Forty years
ago a toy vender, Perry by name,
lived on Borden Street. His home
was humble one and large family,
eleven children, was sheltered by its
roof. The elder three were girls and
as was the custom in families of mod
crate means in those good old days,
were sent to work in the mill. Curly
haired Sarah was the youngest of the
three, and the favorite among the
girls III the old Quequechau mill,
Her sunny WAYS and generally jolly
disposition won all hearts, and it be-
came common saying that "Sarah
Perry was as clever as the day is
long" So it was not surprising that
young John Marland loyed her.
His wooing prospered, and finally
their troth was plighted The we'd
ding day was fixed, and all bid far
to terminate in the consummation so
devoutly wished for. Bnt Marland
was called South on business before
the wedding day arrived, The lovers
exchanged vows of constancy and
promise on either sida Of frequent
correspondence. But on the day that
John Marland started for the sunny
South, sly Cupid began his mischiev-
Gus pranks.
Days passed into weeks and weeks
INTO months, and no word from her
absent lover, came to the trusting
maiden waiting IN the North. The
day set for the wedding came and
passed, but John Marland did not re-
turn to claim his bride, nor did any
message from the absent lover come
to explain hls absence or cheer the
breaking heart of her to whom he had
plghted his affection.
The years rolled by and the bitter
tears Of sorrow were shed as Sarah
Perry finally realized that she had
been deserted. At last, WON with
waiting, she sought to tear his image
from her heart and accepted the at
tentions of one of the many who
sought to gain her affections,
To Spaulding Southworth she gave
her heart and hand. They were mar
ried and lived as happy life as one
could wish.
Meanwhile John Marland, in his
southern exile, watched and waited
for tidings from the loved one he had
left at home. But no word came and
he watched and wondered in vain.
He had written to her, as he had
promised, but his message of Ioye had
brought no reply, and he finally de-
cided that the bewitching Sarah had
| Tilted him. This opinion was confirm
ed by reports which came to hlm from
home, and he finally wOoed and won
a Southern bride. So two lives which
had promised to blend together, drift
ed apart ana the cherished plans for
the future became but the memories
of the past, forgotten, almost, in the
new development of another love.
The Southworths lived in this city.
Spaulding was a prosperous carpen-
ter, steady man, the superintendent
Of the Baptist Sunday school, and a
model husband. Sarah was faithful
helpmeet, a loving wife and a fond
mother. The household was happy
one, and no bitter memories OF the
old love marred the domestic bliss.
Marland returned North IN a few
years with his southern bride. He
did not come back to Fall River,
however, but settled in MiddIeboro-

Perry had married, Happy in his

Sans, a 6-year.oId son Of a farmer
living near here, yesterday murdered
his Infant brother, of whom he had
been given charge. Some time ago
he was taken to child's funeral, and
manifested great interest in its burial
which he did not seem to understand.
He has frequently prattled about
it and asked many questions as to how
the child was got into the coffin, and
when it would come out To-day he
took his little brother to the grave,
which was near his fathers home
and after scOoping out a grave in the
sand by small brook, ne placed the
little infant in box which he had
previously carried there, nailed down
the top and buried it, going through

singing a hymn. After he had filled
the tiny grave, he stamped on 1t, and

mother Of his deed, of which he seem.

like Mrs. Arthur's little baby's funeral"
The terrified mother hasiened to the
spot, the grave was reopened and the
infant found deed, with its right arm

The Knoxville Chronicle is afraid
that the Democratic party is going TO
fall into the control of "the Wall
street gold bug" Such catastrophe
would hardly seem probable in view
of the fact that it was the Democratic
party that remonetized and recoined
the SILVER dollar in 1878, and has since
then steadily resisted all efforts to dis
turb it. Silver might be demonetiznd
by ascoalition of say One-ffth of the
Democrats in Congress with the solid
Republican vote, but hardly in any
other way. What position would
