Ny world is peOpled not alone
By those its daily life who snare;
The loved whom other years have known
Descend from tier diviner air,
As one might come from over sea,
Or down the street to sit with me
And make the fairest morn more fair;
And mine are earth and sun and star,
With friends VINO were and friends who are.

Tender and true and still my own;

As if some wind of God had blown
Ill trace OF doubt ard care and dole
From each serene, enfranchised soul,
And they could never more make moanl
Yet my unlikeress cannot bar
From friends who were ard friends who are.

From your celestial pleasances,
What welcome waits you, dawn or night!

All rosy bloom and stainless white,
W here l commune, no IeiT 10 mar,
With friends who were and friends who are.
Yet not to outward sight they come;

AS when. from winter cold and dumb,
Unseen the south wind wakes the dells-
The south wind and the silent sun,
While robins sing and brooklets run
And every bud with rapture swells'
Such soul of spring such Avatar,
Come friends who were and friends who are.
Dear the delights Of bOunteous earth
Her purple seas, her hills Of snow;
The cloisters lore the children's mirth,
Cathedral gloom and tireside glow;
Nay, dear the finest bird that flies,
The faintest cloud that fecks the skies,
The leaves the woodland ways that strow;
Yet. Lord, what bliss 10 steal afar,

NEVER SAW HER BEFORE or SINCE.
And Robert Mitchell, Coerced Into Mar
rage Wants a Divorce.

A Chicago special SAYS: The history Of 2
mysterious marriage was filed with the
Clerk of the Superior Court this morning.
and the matter will come up IN the usual
way in the Divorce Court. Robert b.
Mitchell is the complainant, who claims 70
have been forced into peculiar marriage.
The story Of the bill says that on the 18th
day Of last August the plaintiff was at the
depot to take train for Eyanson, when two
men. claiming TO be detectives, accosted
him and said there was man at the Ave
nue. House in Eyanson who very much de-
sired to see him.
Against his will. the bill alleges. Mitchell
was conducted 10 that place, where he met
a man named McCOrd, who informed him
that he would be compelled TO return
with the party to Chicago and marry a
woman named Anna l.. Calls. To this
proposition. il is claimed. Mitchell strenu-
ouslv objected. but in vain. Tho dotec-
tives claimed To have the power 10 arrest
him. Accordingly he returned 10 Chicago
the same DAY with McCOrd and the detec-
tives. He attempted to escape after leaving
the train. but they held him and conducted
him by force to the Clifton House.
McCord then left with one Of the detec-
tivcs, ne he said, Tor q mrrIage-lcensJ and
a minister. The woman was brought in,
and for the first time, It IS said, Mitchell
set eyes upOn her lie ran 10 the otncf
door to escape and found the other L.
tective on guard. Presently the two who
left returned with the minister and the
license. The ceremony, it ia charged, was
performed against Mitchell's viii and in
spite of his protcstations. He WAS then
permitted to depart. He never saw the
woman afterwards. An affidavit accom-
panying the bill gives the wOman's resi-
dencc as Martirsyille. Ind. The prayer Of
tho bill is that the Court declare the mar
rage null and void.
