A Day That's Passed.

The farmyard seems deserted,
No one Is In sight,
They must have gone to preaching,
Or By some means are very quiet.
The door Is tightly closed,
The shades are all drawn down,
The roosters quietly croH,
And slowly walk around.
No horses neigh is heard,
No blunderlng lackeys whoa,
The farmers we'll bred herd
Il off in the valley below.
The pigeon DER head Is sailing
In its easy graceful flight.
The doves in the quiet old orchard,
Are basking in the warm sunlight.
Noon time brings old Chloe
The family's faithful slave.
Her duties she learned 80 we'll,
From a master now In the grave.
She carefully feeds the chickens,
And water In the trough she puts,
She Shoes away the hawk.
When too near the yard be scars.
The noon time slowly wanes,
And afternoon bright and mild,
Comes forward with gentle murmur
As 1T feared to chide.
Natures dress is bright and green,
The leaves arc nearly grown,
And from this leafy bower,
The bobolink trills his sweetest tones.
But natures peace Is soon disturbed,
By the olatter of turning wheels,
Up to the gate young man drives,
But, oh, how changed he feels.
He rings, and rings, again.
But bis true love Is not there,
he, this time, fails to SEQ her,
The one he thinks 30 fair.
Homeward now he slowly drives,
Not caring whittier he roams,
But DER and Ger again he says,
I wish she had been 'at home"
But even's shades will lengthen,
And the moon, not the sun,
Will shine across their highway,
Ere the family to their homes will
come. EUREKA.

DEAF MUTE MARRIAGE.
A Chicago Justice Had KnOtty Case,
but He Found n solution.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
young man entered Justice Fosters
court room and close behind him came
blushing young woman. The visitor laid a
marriage certificate before the justice and
stood awaiting developments. The judge
looked at him and smiled.
You want to get married, do you?" he
asked. The young man made no reply.
us this the young woman asked the
court.
There was no response from the young
man, but he drew a pad of paper from his
pocket and wrote: I'VE are deaf and dumb"
oh" said Justice Foster, that is differ
emit" Then he began to wonder how he
would perform the ceremony. The certifi-
cate from the county clerks office gave per-
mission to Christian Larson and Allie Bat
hurst to wed, and all that was necessary
was to learn whether they would promise TO
love, honor and obey. At length the court
wrote on piece of paper:
Stand up and join your hands"
The couple arose when Christian had read
the message, and each took the others
hand Then the court wrote out the tradi-
tional question:
Christian Larson, do you take Allie Bat
hurst to be your lawful, welded wife,
When Christian read the paper he nodded
his head energetically. Then ii WAS Allies
turn, and she gave assent to her side of the
bargain. After that Justice Foster copied
and gave it TO the couple to read while he
repeated the words of the form. Both smiled
and nodded when he finished, and thereupon
the court pronounced them married. Chris
tan turned to Allie and kissed her heartily,
and then they went away.
This is the only couple ever married
whom am sure will lead quiet married
life said his honor.
