COURTED BY MEANS OF SIGNS.

Boston Couple Thnt Never Spoke I'n- j
til They Stood Before
the Altar.
A marriage took plnce in Boston the
other evening, the parties 10 which
had never spoken until a few minutes
before they stood before the clergy
man who pronounced them man and
wife. They had been courting for
nearly three months at that, and they
were both in full possession of the
faculty of speech, says a Boston paper, j
One day in March last a young worn- !
an employed in one of the department j
stores and a young man holding a
clerkship in a music store engaged
rooms on Sbawmut avenue and Union j
Park street respectively, and that
night, sitting at the windows of their
lodgings, saw each other across the
expansive courtyard for the first time, j
For several nights they enjoyed each
other's presence in a silent manner. \
Later on the young man acknowledged
the lady’s presence with a bow. Then j
began the odd and unique courtship*.
The young man, in order to get a bet- J
ter look at his inamorata, bought a |
pair of opera glasses, and4 to his de- '
light, the lady did the same. Then ;
the young man cut out some letters
from white paper oud pinned them
on a p>iece of board that he had covered
with black muslin, to spell outs “Tell
me your name."
The lady answered the next night in
the same way. Through, this medium,
■low and unsatisfactory as it was, the
courtship went on, the young lady,
however, being deuf to ail his entrea
ties for a meet ing. They soon gave up
their original modie of correspondence,
however, and began to pay tribute to
the postal service. An engagement fol
lowed in due course of time and last
week there was a wedding distin- i
gulshed by “no cards, no reception, no
bridal tour."
WRITERS III THE COUNTRY.
The lie at Literary Work Is Done by
Men Whose Homes Are
Outside the Cities.
“See for a moment how the matter of
residence affects literary people, with
whose work, naturally, I am familiar,”
writes Edward Bok, in Ladies’ Home
Journal, of “The American Man and
the Country." “Pick out the success
ful writers of the day and see where
their homes are. Scarcely In a single
instance will you find one of them liv
ing in the city. On the other hand, look
at the work done by your literary
denizen of the city and see how it suf
fers in comparison with that of the
man or woman whose mind rests on
God’s own handiwork. Such writers
are like pygmies compared to the men
who with fresh minds look over God’s
landscape and reflect the deepest and
truest thoughts of real men and wom
en. See how an author—and' this is a
constant occurrence—living in some
remote country place does a great piece
of work, and then, allured by false
prophets, removes to the city and con
tinues his work there. Is his work the
same? Verily, it is not. Degeneration
takes place as soon as lie removes him
self from man’s truest surroundings.
And what is true to-day of men in lit
erary work is Equally true of men in
the kindred arts. The great work of
the world is being done to-day by men
whose lives are spent away from the
great cities,"
