said, gathering himself together.
"It could be done" replied the clergy
man, easily entering again into the
worldly wisdom of the transaction.
mo one is aft on this side. Not a soul
need be the wiser. I have two friends
aboard who will stand as witnesses.
But to think of my marrying John
Olmstead's nephew on ferryboat!
And hold on, Robert. How about the
license? This is New York, and the
permit is. for Brooklyn. You know the
importance of the case and whether
there's any law to conflict"
"It wouldn't matter, but this is for
New York." Stanton replied, calmly
enough so long as he was upon point
of law, at the same time handing the
clergyman his third paper.
"Good boy, Robert" the white-haired
saint exclaimed, slapping his friend on
the shoulder. ''Trust lawyer for do
ing the thing brown. Just take your
wife back to the most quiet corner you
can find, and I'll join you with my
friends in no time.
Again Stanton was trembling so that
he could scarcely move or speak; but
there was little need, for the clergy
man was well alive, now, to the world
" wisdom of the case. The witnesses
were hardly introduced when he be-
gan, from memory, the marriage cere-
mony, holding his watch before him
as though it were his Book of Prayer,
while his lips few with the secund-
hand.
The wheels started, but his lips only
moved the faster, under the full Sense
that millions Of money hung upon
them, and he cut and abridged the cec-
emony without consideration for any
thing but the law. He hardly waited

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost ON
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the begin
ming of catarrh. To prevent colds, to
cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its
victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh,
but prevents it.
