Married All Day Long.

81 never saw SO much fun in the we'd
| ding business as l saw down in Burlington,
| N. j., the other day." said Scranton man
who had just returned from that town.
1.-THE young people Of eastern Pennsylva-
mia dislike the new marriage license law
very much, and they have made Burling-
ton veritable Gretna Green. The average
number of marriages of Pennsylvania
couples has been eleven day for some
| time past, and the epidemic appears to be
| on the increase. Last Sunday thirty
| couples went there to be married. called
at the house of a parson who is an old
| acquaintance of mine. and he was so
Overrun with work that he asked me to stay
and see him tie the young lovers, who had
| come across the river from the Keystone
state. The hall was filled with waiting
| couples, and the minister's study and parlor
had all they could hold comfortably. The
green country chaps and fellows from the
villages enjoyed the jam ever so much, and
the girls glggled and accepted the situation
good-naturedly. AS fast as one couple was
pronounced husband and wife, all the
others offered them their congratulations,
although in nearly every case the parties
had never seen one another before.
Zone burly young farmer with buxom
maiden at his side blushed when he walked
through the crowd to have the knot tied.
He was told to brace-up aud not get ex-
cited by the jolly wOuld-be husbands, and
one told him to keep a stiff upper lip, as
the agony would not last long. When he
marched out into the hall he was greeted
by such EXPLANATIONS as, 'Pshaw! it didn't
hurt you half as much as you thought it
would and %, you're all right, if you did
get scaredn The frightened groom
got out of the house as quickly as he could,
put his bride into an open carriage. and
started for Pennsylvania.
GAS a general thing the girls went
through the trying ordeal much more grace
fully than the boys. It's our turn next,
Anna. an don't ye furgit it, hard-handed
chap was heard to whisper to his girl when
a couple stood up before the minister, and
when that couple had been disposed of and
a certificate made out the hard-tisted fellow
took somewhat slender miss by the right
hand and led her before the preacher.
Git around on t'other side, Joshua; that
amt the side to stand on, said voice in
the audience, and Joshua had to change
his position, which he did in a very awk-
ward way. grinning and coloring up as he
did so. When the last couple had been
disposed of my ministerial friend drew
sigh of relief and looked tired. He said
he hoped no more Pennsylvanians would
bother him in month. He had taken in
$50 in fees that day.

ever open door broad white sign stares
out az the visitor as if over anxious to an
nounce to him that this is Fort Smelling.
The station is a humble affair. A plain lit
tie building, on long posts, lifting its roef
tree but few feet above the tops of the
cars that five times a day are whirled into
its modest shadow. 1t looks like hunch-
back on stills. and carries with it about the
same air OF dignity On its sunburnt sides
and rough inner walls, the knife of the
VandaI has carved curious shapes and
figures, and it would not be hard,for one
who was curious enough to search, to find
the entire alphabet craven there.
Not graceful characters. yet legi-
and rickety stove constitute the furniture.
1t seems to have been built there more for
the purpose of covering the form of the
sentry than TO fill the rather important ca
pacity OF railway station.
"A sentry" you say? A sentry indeed,
and he is there at the incoming and out
going OF every train. A sober-faced sol
der with square shoulders and tapering
waist. On his head shallow cap with an
almost glittering vizer; a closely fitting
coat of dark blue ornate with shining but
tons of brass; we'll cut pants of light blue,
with fiaring bottoms; polished shoes with
broad Soles; gloves, ill-titting but as white
as the neck of a swan; heavy rifle thrown
, careleSsly over the right shoulder, stiff
and dignifed carriage, and you have an &C
curate picture of the sentry, who seems to
have his abode in the homely brown station
and who PAGES up and down the platform
with the air of Napoleon, looking straight
ahead and whirling automatically on his
heels at each terminus of his beat. Why
he is there you cannot tell, but naturally
presume. because there is no room for him
elsewhere.
But before you have ceased to watch and
wonder over the sentry, the spasmodic
cough of the locomotive breaks the hush of
the morning and the train is quickly
whirled out of sight around the jagged
front of towering bluff.
But since we alighted Nature seems to
aroused herself to greet us. The air Is
filled with merry bird voices, the early
breeze. fresh with the morning dew, comes
down the hills and whispers tenderly to the
quiVering foliage, the restless river nipples
and dances over its shallow bed and the
slender grass blades bow and bend as though
rejoicing over their release from the shades
of night. To the left road creeps along the
the base of the bluff and winds its way to
the plateau above. Below the road lies a
Yawning croft, filled with shifting shadows:
above, the face of the bluff towers high and
severe. and the dry gray road hides itself
behind the bulky base of lofty bastion: a
grand old

stands back from the broad street in the
midst of spacious grounds, well kept and
artistically laid out in little beds of flowers
of varied designs. On the south end of the
building is roomy conservatory, and fra
grant vines creep frem the ground almost
to the caves, clustering around the door
ways and windows and imparting pleas
ing effect. a broad porch traverses the
front of the house and wide portico covers
the main entrance and reaches out over a
gravelly driveway. Cosy little balconies
cling to the front of the building. and the
tall windows reach down to the piazza,
upon which they open. On each side of the
generals house are six other beautiful resi-
dences. the houses of the officers, and here,
too, the chaplain lives. Back of this line of
dwellings sweeps the broad and unculti-
waited acres of the reservation, and looking
from the front windows you get lovely
view of hills and valleys and lOw-sweeping
rivers, for IL is nearly opposite this point
that the waters of the Mississippi and Min
nesota mingle. Just across the street from
the generals house. half hidden i'll
a luxurious growth of young
oaks and cottonwoods, stands the little
church where, each Sunday, services are held
ungOverned by any one creed or denomin-
alton. These jewellers at the fort are a free,
thinking people. The church is OF modest
proportions. but the style of architecture is
very attractive Stained cathedral glass is
set in the windows, and from the roof
rises Gothic tower high above the tops of
the surrounding trees.

In taking in the beauties and interesting
features of the surroundings of Fort
Smelling one is not liable to pass by the
little square lot, hemmed in with fence
of pickets which were once white. but are
now dry and weather stained. 1t is the
cemetery, and here lie the remains of many
brave soldier and officer who have lived
and died in frontier service The little
burial ground shows no signs OF careful
attention; the grass glows long and the
weeds rank over the graves and around
the tombstones that mark the resting places
OF the fallen; yet it is a pleasant spot, and
down on the northern side, more than 800
feet below the graves flows the river, whose
murmurings can be family heard as it
trends its way to the hungry gulf. The
headstoneS are all modest, small slabs of
IN arble of white and grey, and many of the
gr aves are marked with oblong shapes hewr
from wood, bearing no name or date tx

grown mound. With two exceptions The
graves show sad neglect, and give the I'M
preston that in the busy routine of fort life
those who have gone before are remem
bered only at long intervals. At one sid
OF the cemetery is grave environed by
high picket fence. The pickets have grow

graveled driveway, and from the bulky ear
riage behind them the general alights and

are as inspiriting as the echoes of the Scot
fish pibroch among the Grampian hills.
You stand and look and listen and admire,
and are only brought fully to your senses
when the sullen boom OF a cannon rolls
down across the plain, and as if by magic
the scene is bathed in a world of golden
light; the tiny dew drops at your feet
sparkle like diamonds in the corset of ma
ture; the birds sing louder and sweeter:
tits sunrise; turning to the east beautiful
study in colors is spread out before YOUR adj
miring eyes; the distant hills seem almost
mythical behind the blush haze that
wells them from base to summit; along the
bluffs the first smiles of the day king slant
and the rich verdure of the heavy woods,
that climbs to the shoulders of the hills. is
brilliant in the shower of gold that falls
from the radiant skies above. golden wings
of sunlight slope from earth to heaven.
Mirrored in the deeps of the winding river
ale all the beauties of its banks and one
vast world seems to be looking up to or
dain the beauties of another. On the bosom
of the quiet river rest tiny isles of green,
like massive emeralds in great necklace of
opals; it is scene that paralyzes the eye
in its attempt to drink in the varied beau
ties. Down the valley goes the deep voice
of the cannon, bounding from hillside to
hillside and bluff to bluff, each moment.

The station is reached just as the last

their fastenings. Inside, the rave is over

wild flowers that have probably doomed
and faded quietly and unnoticed, save by
the casual visitor, for years. A dropping
