The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-05-08

A couple called upon u well known jus
tice of the peace in Webster county, w.
Va, and desired to be pronounced man
and wife The sturdy old officer of the
law, fully cognizant of the important duty
he had to perform, discharged it in the
following impressive and obviously novel
manner:
"By the authority vested in me as an
officer of the great state of West Virginia,
which is sometimes called the Switzerland
of Americas by the hill Of half developed
corn and grounding holes that spread out
around us; by the howl of the coon dog
and the gourd vine whose clinging ten
drills will shade the entrance to your
dwelling place; by our hillside pumpkins,
whose frost bitten presence reminds one of
the melancholy face of his grandmother;
by the heavens and the earth, and in the
presence of these witnesses, | pronounce
you man and wifer'-Cor Washington

A Pennsylvania senator told the other
day an anecdote to illustrate the high
standard of political morality in the Key
stone State There was an old Dutchman,
n farmer, thrifty and prosperous, who had
been carefully saving for many years. FL
nally he was elected to the legislature. 1t
was peculiarly profitable session. There
were several railroad charters up for CON
sideration. Hans served faithfully, never
broke silence, and always voted; and aft
er the legislature had adjourned, surprised
his friends at home by laying the founda-
ton of 81 0 900 house, while there were
rumors of $50, 900 bank deposit.
"Have you had a legacy, Hansi" asked
Il ncighbor at last
"Oh, no, d" was the reply. ~ have only
been saving"
"But how could you manage to save
$50, 900 on three months salary of So a
day."
"Ah," responded Hans complacently,
"that was very easy. You see my wife
didn't keep no hired girl last winter. -
Boston Advertiser.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-05-08

The day viii dawn when one of us shall hearken
In vain to hear "A voice that has grown dumb,
And morns shall fade, moons pale and shadows
darken
While sad eyes watch for feet that never come.
One of us two must some time face existence
Alone with memories that but sharpen pain,
And these sweet days shall shine back in the
distance
Like dreams of summer dawns in night of
rain.
One Of us two, with tortured heart half broken,
Shall read long treasured letters through salt
tears;
Shall kiss with anguished lips each cherished
token
That speaks of these love crowned, delicious
years.
One of us two shall find all light, all beauty,
All Joy on earth, a tale forever done;
Shall know henceforth that life means only
duty
o God! o God! have pity on that one.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Co the tho1tors To- try 90 get job. At
one was suncu.-iul, being told that zone
Of the chaps was ill, and the boss in a roar
ing temper made my way round and
arrived In time To- hear the aforesaid boss
remark somewhat loudly and in scarcely
polite language:
"'What docs the "hind legs mean by
being ill3 His business il to be "hind

and be "hiud legs of an elephant you

legs, who had been n witness of this in
tervicw, and was quickly set to work.
First had TO put on a pair of large, loose,
dirty brown looking trousers, with the

on by straps over my shoulders.
"The front legs attired himself in "A
similar garment. Then we both stopped
down to about half our height, and

walk of that elephant was decidedly Gu
rious during the evening. However, we
managed to get along somehow, but !
wasn't sorry when my week came to an
end, and, taking into consideration the
discomfort of head and backache, the de
cidedly unclean condition of the skin,
and the long hours spent in rehearsals and
