For the HERALD
TO MAlk.

Last eve when sank the sun to rest
Rabipd the mountains crimson crest,
And FURNISHED with a golden glow,
The heaven above and earth below,
Nv truant fancy wandered free,
Back thro' the realms of memory
Dappled aud blue and bound with gold'
The clouds like moulton billows rolled,
And seemed in their weird phsntasy'
To sail upon an amber sea,
As very islands of the night,
Floating away in liquid light,
So chastely pure and purely bright
And then to glorify the scene,
The vesper star-night's lovely queen
Shot out and all resplendent shone'
As bright as gem on any throne,
And smiling cleaned there all alone
Oh. see, cries Fancy in alright,
The errant nimbus of the night
Gathering thick and dank and dun
Above the crims'ning OF the sun,
Whilst gloom IS gath'ring fast IRON isr'
Where cleaned the besnteous vesper star
What yet pOrtends this dismal scene
Where flies thro' Night her lovely queen
A very truant frigh tened flown,
Yielding to storms her lOw'ring throne,
Where she so late so lovely shone.
Alb. Maia, memory answers right
The foolish Fancy in her fright;
The gathling clouds but typity
Life's ever changing cloud-Aecked sky
The lightning flash 'mid thunder peal,
Dispels the clouds and stars reveal;
But lusterless and pale the light
That shimmers thro' a cloudless night.

WHO ARE THE POOR ?

Who are the poori Not always those
Who have the least to show,
Nor are they always found among
The darkest haunts of woe;
For one may wear the richest dress
And roll in wealth's galore,
And still in Heavens perfect sight,
Be poor, aye, very poor.
The brightest skies may ever shine
Above the mansion proud,
And he who dwells within its walls
With what may ne'sr be bowed;
The sweetest music ever heard
May feed his listening ear,
And mirth and pleasure fill the cup
Of all the gladstone year.
Yet poor, indeed, must be the man
Who owns such joys as these,
If e'er his heart is coldly closed
To others miseries
And vain is all his store Of good
If selfishly he lives.
And always reaping harvests new,
No charity e'er gives.
Real poverty is in the heart;
'Tis want of love for man,
'Tis failure to perform a good.
To bless whene'er you can;
'Tis lack of love and lack Of faith
In God and His decree,
That tn greatest virtue one can own
Is loving charity.
SO let US then do all we can
To help each other on,
And show that wealth Of mind aud hear
Which lives when gold is gone;
And let us keep this truth in view
Where'er our steps may lead:
A man may be a millionaire
And yet be poor indeed

AGED, BUT ROMANTIC.

WEDDING OF A MATURE COUPLE
WHO HAD NEVER SEEN OR SPO.
KEN WITH EACH OTHER.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, May 10.
81 will secure you good wife on
condition that you do not see her
until the hour for the wedding and
do not speak to her until after the
marriage ceremony has been per-
fOrmed.D
Thus James Coleman addressed
his friend William Woodyard, OF
Taylor county, this state, three
years ago. Or Saturday evening
last this remarkable compact was
completed by the marriage of
woodward to Christiana Beaver in
the little village of Claude.
woodward has already reached
the allotted period OF three score
years and ten. His hair is gray
and his form STOPPING. His first
wife had been dead several years
at the time he was discussing his
loneliness with COlen an and his
friend sympatheticalIy undertook
to secure a partner tor him. So
great was WOodyard's confidence
In his friend that he assented to the
plan.
The bride is about forty years OF
age, well preserved and in a meas
ure handsome. Coleman explained
to her the peculiar condition he hal
imposed on woodward without CIV
ing her his name, and she readily
entered into the spirit of the affair
1t seemed so romantic.
After time Coleman gave
" oodyard her name aud address
and correspondence was carried
on, leading gradually to a formal
proposal of marriage by woodward
and its acceptance by the buxom
dame of Claude.
The wedding took place in the
brides home. Coleman and Wood
yard went to the clergyman who
was to perform the ceremony and
took him with them to the Beaver
domiclle. The groom was ushered
into drawing room. When his
toilet was completed his friend
Coleman extended his arm and
together they entered the parlor,
where the bride, with more than
usual blush, stood awaiting her
lover. They glanced at each other
but not word was spoken.
In silence they clasped hands
and the minister propOunded to
each the usual questions. Firm
and distinct were their answers. In
these responses each for the first
time heard the sound of the other 5
voice. The ceremony ended, the
bridal couple left the ho1se, con-
versing in Low tones, the old gentle
man having kept his word 60 the
last. The lady whom he has
married is in every sense his social
equal. She has not, however, an
equal share of wealth, and PROB
ably for this reason friend Cole
man was determined to try the ex'
pertinent. of keeping the lovers
apart. Their friends now regard
the match as a happy one, and
congratulations thick and fast pour
IN upon them.
