A sad procession sought the church Il
noon Of day,
A weeping Girl along the winding summer
way
Followed the slow-borne bier where mute
her lover lay.
Adown that lowered path there came :
bridal band,
The radiant wife stepped proudly. strong
Of heart, and grand
With all the solemn Joy Of loves still
wonderland.
white-garmented, like day dawned clear
with cloudless skiesi
Dark-robed. like night o'ercast that SEES
no stars arisel
They met, they paused, they look into
each others eyes.
And then. for swift and sweet IN loves
converging tide,
Behold. the fair young wife wept - she
turned aside
The hopeless girl who wept smiled ON the
new-made bride.

SMALLPOX Patients Will Not BE Permitted
to Enter or Leave Chicago.
As soon as competent men can be Sc
cured physicians will guard the terminal
railroad stations Of Chicago to guard
against the entrance Of small pox patients
into the city and against the transporta-
ton Of people afflicted with the malady
out of the city. Health Commissioner
Reynolds will adopt this plnn for the pur-
pose of getting all the patients possible
under supervision. Already work Of this
kind has been done. but AS further pre-
cautionary measure more men will be put
at work. This will also satisfy the health
boards of adjoining States which have be-
come alarmed by the reports OF the con-
tagion In Chicago A sharp lookout will
be kept for persons suffering from small
pox. and IL any are discovered the city au-
thorities will take charge OF them.

A Song Wins n Battle.

Instances are recorded where the
tide OF battle was turned by q song.
One case occurred November o, 1872,
when the French under Dumouriez en-
countered the Austrians at Jemmapes,
in Belgium. The day was going dead
against the French when Dumouriez
ran out to the front and raised the
sMarseillaise. Forty thousand voices
instantly took up the chorus, and in
spired by the magic of the battle song,
the French rallied and fell SO furiously
upon the Austrians that the tide Of
battle was completely turned and vic
tory given for defeat.

Pinned for companIonshIp.

A romantic story comes to us from
the good town of Sidney. It says
that an elderly widower called upon
friend there recently, and, in the
course of the conversation, confided
to him that he was very lonely. His
children had grown up and gone, and
he felt the need Of companionship.
The friend was equal to the emer-
gency. He told the disconsolate
widower of an excellent lady, q
widow, his wife's sister, who would
be just the person of all to cheer up
his home and make life really worth
living. He ended by writing an in
vitation to his sister-in-law to come
and visit at his home, and sent his
friend to Waterville with it. They
drove back together, and on the way
entered into marriage engagement.
The wedding is expected soon.-

His voice trembled with his emotion,
but second later it took . softer
tone. Co." he said; leave me.
Let me thank my Lord for His tender
mercy and His loving kindness. Go,
my dears."
Sarah and Meg went slowly down
the stairs. Neither spoke. Both
had heard something in his voice
which kept them silent. They sat
down upon the porch step and waited,
still In silence.
The stars came out family, and
presently faint rim of gold betok-
ened the rising Of the moon. And
still they sat in silence. But after o
long time as it seemed to them, they
heard the deacon's slow footsteps
coming down the stairs. He passed
through the hall and into the kitchen,
and soon they saw him crossing the
wood yard to the barn, whose big
doors were still wide open to the warm,
fragrant evening air. Sarah found
voice then. II might have put an
end to it sooner" she said, regret
fully, her eyes following his slow
movements, "but l thought father

And" coaxingly, "you know, ! want

happier homes"
Meg put her hand on hers. She
touched it lovingly. Forgive me-"
she said, ''but next time, dear,
practice your enthusiasm on me.
Spare my poor uncle, I beseech
you"
The deacon's prayer was short that
night. His careful avoidance of many
Of hissc customary well-rounded phrases
struck both his listeners forcibly.
Both heard in his voice tone they
had never before heard. Both knew
it's meaning, and tears filed their
eyes at his closing appeal: Help
Thou me, 0 Lord, to smooth the
pillow of the dying sinner. Help
Thou me to help him. Yankee
