Landlords of hotels object 10 funerals

And as a rule a landlord has no dif-

A Resurrection.
ELIZABETH n. BARR, FLORAHOME, FLA.

walked one day thru the wood
land
When the leaves were yellow and
brown,
And falling from the branches
Like snowflakes whirling down;
And by the dim-marked pathway,
Where the shade of the live oak
crossed
| found tender blossom
That was bitten by the frost.
/ dug grave in the oak leaves
And hid the flower away,
But / passed again in the springtime
TO find where the treasure lay;
And 10! from the earth's dark bosom
Reaching toward heaven for light
The flower in pride was bearing
Its sinless bloom of white.
Thru my own souls wilderness l
went
Bewailing the evil time
A killing frost'had nipped the buds
While youth was in its prime.
And there among the shadows
Where the sunbeams barely slope
Down thru the thick dark branches
l buried cherished hope.
If l pass that way in the spring
time
When the clouds are gone and the
rain
And latent powers are quickening
viii | find that hope again?
Will it's root and branch still flourish
Hardy and rank as before?
And will that cherished flower
Blossom forever more?

OPEN Wokh-torooKING ROMANCE.

OPEN CORRESPONDING ROMANCE.
The marriage of Miss Margaret Nc
Dermott, of Elizabeth, and Terence
Sheehan, of Newark, N. j., was in
definitely postponed recently in con-
sequence of the discovery by Shee-
han that Miss McDermOtt wore open
work hosiery. The couple went to
the office of Edward Markley, justice
of the peace, accompanied by two
friends, and said they had come to
get married. Justice Markley had
taken their names, but had not fin
iShed filling out the blank for his Of
fetal report of the wedding, when
Miss Margaret placed her foot on a
chair, and the young woman who ac-
c3mpanied her tied the loosened
shoelace. The incident disclosed the
fact that she wore openwork hos
iery.
Someone remarked that a clergy
man in Blooklyn had lost his charge
because of his opposition to open
work hose.
II think the clergyman's view is
right" remarked Sheehan.
II think he hasn't much sense"
said Miss McDermott. II wear open
work hose, and am not ashamed of
doing So"
II would rather my wife would not
wear such things" said Sheehan."
II shall wear any kind of hosiery
like" said the young woman.
81 would not marry girl | knew
would wear such things. You can
choose between me and the open
work stockings"
"I'll not be dictated to by YOU or
anybody about what / shall wear"
and Miss McDermott turned and
walked out of the office.
