Sweetest Love Story IN Literature.

Wherever Mrs. Browning trod, what

the sacredness of her presence. when
Mr.. Browning returned with her On
visit to England, after an absence OF
several years, he repaired to the little
church in which they had been married,
and there, at the entrance, he reverentiy
kneeled and kissed the paving stones
upon which she, the light OF his being.
had stepped. And in after years, when
the light had gone from his life, h
sought this sacred spot on the twelfth
Of each September, and in the dusk cf
the evening shadows passers-by might
have seen a white-haired man kneeling

recognize in this man the poet Brown

led the world to regard him as a man of
austere nature.-Cifford Howard, in

proposed an amendment permitting
such adhesion if no power opposed.
