Susan walked slowly along behind the
prairie schooner, driving the pmall herd of
cattle belonging to her brother-in-law. The
roads were a little muddy in some places
there had been a rain the night before but
she was tired of riding in the wagon and
walking rested her. She formed a part of
the procession going West. It was a long
one, scattering over miles and miles of coun
try ; mule teams, ox teams, lean teams, fat
teams, all heading toward the land of prom
ise, the West. They were going in bands of
two, three or four families, and again one
family alone. Some of them were mechanics
who knew nothing of farming and just as
little, of the land they were going to and the
spot on which they would stop. Others
were fanners who had sold out comfortable
homes to go West and buy more land. In
Susan's part of the procession were two fam
ilies, her sister Mary, with her husband,
Thomas Smith, and their son Adoiphus, or
Dolph, and Cyrus Ilolnian with his old moth
er. Susan trudged along, driving the cattle
before her. Far and wide, as great a dis
tance as she could see, was the green country
dotted with its comfortable white farmhous
es and large barns. She thought it a fine
country, indeed, and wondered how soon
they were to stop, not knowing they were
to travel more than one hundred miles yet,
for Susan was an ignorant joung woman,
with small knowledge of geography, and was
not quite certain whether Dakota was a
county in the State of Minnesota or the re
verse. Suddenly, as she walked along, she came
in full sight of a town set in among the
bluffs a neat, pntsperous, busy town, with
a great many brick houses and green trees.
She called to Dolph to come and drive the
cattle, and got into the wagon f-he did not
want to go through the town on foot. The
town was full ot people, farm wagons were
standing close together down both sides of
the main street, and the white tops of the
prairie schooners like their own were visible
here and there. They stopped at a grocery
to buy some necessary articles of food and
then went on. The- came to a tall, red
brick school-house. It was recess and the
children played alwtit in the yard, so many
of them, Susan had never sceu so many to
gether in her life. The teachers were stand
ing in the broat". doorway, and away up in the
third story was one with a pretty, girlish
face," watering some plants in the window.
She looked wonderfully stylish to Susan's
eyes, and she looked upon them as being
very wealthy and important personages.
The two men and Dolph stopped to gather
the seeds that had fallen from the maple
trees around the large yard. They wanted
them to plant on the treeless prairie where
they were going. The boys on the play-
ground rather resented it as an infringement
j of their rights, but through a wholesome i wood to them in a day or two. The woist

Presently the bell rang from the tower, and
the children and teachers disappeared in the
house, while the men came back with their
basKets of seeds and the wagons jogged
along.
On and on they went, camping at night by
some spring or small lake and tr.ivelin
day, till the comfortable farm-houses haddis -
appeared, the small towns were thingof the
onlyprairie and grass, and grass and prairie,
with now and then an alkali sink, or some i
new settlei's shanty, or dug-out. They be- ,
gan to look about for a place to stop and to j
inquire ot every man they saw, and they
' were few indeed, if there was vacant land
; near there. It all looked vacant enough.
j One day they met a man going back the way
they had come, and across the top of ids
j schooner was painted in large letters, "Goin
! home tew my wifes foaikes." "Better turn
j about," he told them, "I've been in the
j blasted country nigh a month and there ain't

microscope tew see that. Look at my ani

j out here, but you'd have tew swing 'em
twice tew make a shadder and be mighty
quick about it or' the sun would shine
I through."
I Xot an encouraging report, but they ier
, severed and finally settled down, vhere, be
sides the two little houses they built with
lumber purchased of the railroad company,
there was only one house in sight and that
also a very small one. But they were near
the railroad, that was a great gain, and they
r went vigorously to work to break what they

couiu ami prepare ioi winter, jiwiis.siow
work, but trusting to the long, warm fall, of
which they had been assured by older set
tlers in one place and another on their jour
ney, they expected to bc ready for the cold
winter.
But one day near the middle of October it
grew suddenly cold, the wind began to blow
and the snow to fall, and in a day and night
the whole country was covered. "There is a
drift 1,300 feet long and twenty deep on the
track east of here," the operator in the little
depot told Mr. Smith when he went to make
inquiries a day or two later. "I don't know
how it is further west ; the lines are all down
and I can't get word, but there won't !e a
train here for a week, I presume." That
was encouraging, certainly, when everything
provisions, wood and ail depended on
that train. The cattle had very poor accom
modations, almost none, in fact. There had
been uo straw to make sheds, as on an older
farm, and the small amount of wild hay
which, spread on the few poles, formed the
roof, was little protection. Smith and his
son Dolph shoveled a path to where the poor
creatures stood huddled together, each try
ing to crowd into the centre of the group to
protect himself from the bitter wind that
drove the snow in blinding clouds across the
prairie. All that day the wind blew fiercely,
an 1 the snow piled higher and higher. No
train came, only a telegram from down the
line saying the men were shoveling and try
ing to clear the track, but the wind blew the
snow into the cuts almost as fast as they dug
it out. Their snow-plows were of little use ;
the drifts packed so there was no beating
through them ; nearly every engine available
was damaged in some way, and the men
must work on. Meanwhile the settlers along
the line must wait a hard thing to do, with
both wood and provisions running low, but
they hoped it would soon be over and a sup
ply couie to them.
There rame a calm, still day, and they
hoped more than before. Smith went to the
little station again. A dispatch had just
been received saying the road was nearly
open, a train was within twelve miles of
them, a passenger train that had Ixren snowed
in on that road two days with nothing to eat
except a little fruit the train boy had and a
barrel of crackers that happened to be on
board it was a mixed train and carried some
freight, which accounted for the crackers.
Cyrus, taking advantage of the lull in the
storm, started for a little town on the rail
road six m'les away, in the direction of the
snow bound train. He went after supplies.
Their stock was running very low, and it was
utterly impossible for a horse to get through
the drifts. He went on foot aud expected to
bring the things on his back. It was past
noon when he reached his destination, and he
was very much fatigued, in fact, he thought
he had never been so tired in all Ills life.
"Come from up there, six miles," said the
grocer when be told him how far he had
come. "Good God, man, how did you get
here? Is there anyone alive up there? You
see we're half buried alive."
Cyrus thought so when he looked along
the street at the houses buried to the second
story windows, some of theai those that
had such a thing.
''We're most out of wood, too, been burn
ing lumber, furniture, anything we could get
hold of. Want something to eat, do you?
Well, I'll let you have a little, you can't car
ry much of course, but if you'd come yester
day I wouldn't let you had much anyway,
we're so short here, though I could not let
folks starve. But will have plenty to-morrow
likely, the train has moved up three
miles to-day since morning and they'll send a
freight right after them."
Cyrus was glad to hear of the more hope
ful condition of affaiis.
"Lost any cattle up your way'.'" asked
the man.
"Not yet," said Cyrus, "we hadn't many.
and they've managed to stand it so far, tho'
it's pretty hard on them." .
"You're lucky; now Jones down here j
you don't know him, you're a new man j
he's a cattle man, keeps 150 or 200 head all
the time; he lost 1. 'to head the first night of
the storm, went into the river. Cattle will
do that, keep going and going to keep out of 1
the Sturm, and when they come to the river ;
the hind ones keep pushing till they're all in.
It's hard on Jones. He wasn't ready for j
winter, none of us was." !
Some one came rushing in to say the lines
were woikinc again unto the second town ;
west and they had only half accord of wood.
Only two fires, they said one in a haidware
store, the other in a saloon, and people who
could not crowd around them had gone to
bed to keep warm.
"If it only holds like this," said the gro-
i Cer, "and the wind don't blow, they can get
nn,i the snow to whirl in a threatening way.
j ne settl ed his bag of provisions on his back
. and tried to hurry on toward home. He had
come by the sun in the morning, but now
that was gone. The road was drifted so full
of snow one could not tell where it had been,
arid far and wide only the trackless prairie,
looking as much alike, no matter which way
he looked, as do different parts of the ocean,
1 and as the wind rose the snow flew and
' whirled about so that he could not see ten
his face and blinded his eyes and filled his
footprints as soon as made. He had walked
until lie was very tiled and thought he must
te nearly home, when he saw a light. That
must bc home, and he hurried on. He was
almost up to it, or he could not have seen it.
It was in a small house which he knew at
once was not his house. Tt .neemed strange
to him. He opened the door and went in
It was the grocery he had left he could not
tell how long before.
"Given it up, have you?" said the man.
"I think that's the oest thing you can do ;
shows your head's level. Didn't look much
like it when you started to wade six miles
after sundown."
Cyrus looked at him. confusedly. "I must
lie lost," said lie, slowly. "I thought I had
got home."
He held his hands out over the stove to
warm them.
"Look here, sir," said the man, coming up
to him nnd beginning to lift the bag from his
shoulders. "You stay right here : it ain't no
i kind of weather for a man to be starting out
' over these nerrai ies ; you wait and have
some supper nnd go to bed and start out
when you have daylight ; it will be bad
enough then. Sally," he called, opening a
door nt the back of tho little store, "can't
you get a bite for this man? He's got lost
and must stay all night."
Sally showed her rosy face at the door and
avowed her willingness to have the bite
ready in a jiffy, but Cyrus protested. He
could not stay all night Mid leave his old
mother out alone in that lonesome place to
worry. He finally consented to eat some
supierand started once more as soon as pos
sible. The snow whirled into the door be
hind him as lie went out
"That's the end of hhn, according to my i
way of thinking," said the man, looking af
ter Cyrus, but not seeing him. The grocer i
went back and shut the door.
"This'll block the train3 again ; we're all
done for, I Itelieve," said he, bitterly.
Cyrus wandered on and on again. The
snow beat in his face and blinded kim, but
he did not stop, and once more, when he felt
he could travel no longer, he saw the wel
come light. Again he opened the door, and
again he was at the little grocery.
"I thought I was at home this time," said
he, slowly, and more confused than before,
as he stepped in through the door. The man
was just putting oat the lights to go to bed.
"Look here, sir," said lie, "it'll save con
siderable trouble burying you if you go out
again, but on the whole I wouldn't do it if I
was you. Go to bed here and I'll call you
and have you off by daylight."
Nothing else could bc done. Cyrus saw
he could not possibly reach home that night,
and accepted the man's offer.
"Now," said the man, as he prepared to
start in the morning, "you've a tall walk be
fore you, but it ain't blowing bardly so fu
rious, and the sun shines a little, that'll help
you about your course. You ain't so bad off
in your mind, roost likely, as a feller on
them snowed -in cars. He was going to be
married a week ago to-day. nis girl' been
here a-stewing about it all the week she and
Sally's great friends. They've cooked up
things three times and he's started three
times and hid to fio back, till now he can't
get back, the road's so full behind them.
Her brother is going down to day to carry
them the victual In hand-sleds. They'll be
glad to see them, if they get there, but I
doubt their getting there."
Cyrus hastened on, full of anxiety con
cerning his mother, and not without catise.
She had dreaded to have him start, and
bad begun to watch for his return long be
fore it was possible for him to have traveled
the distance. As night came on with its fly
ing snow, her anxiety increased till she could
bear it no longer. She went to the door and
looked out, but of course could see nothing,
except the blinding snow. She put a shawl
over her head and went out. The wind
nearly took her off her feet. She called Cy
rus "Si !" "Cyrus !" but there was no an
swer. She would try to go and see Mary and
Susan she would not stay there all night
alone. She pushed on, but the wind beat
her about and the snow blinded her. She
went aimlessly around and around for a
while, then she grew tired and sank down
in.the drifts. A feeling of dreamy sleepless
ness came over her ; she lay very still, and
only a corner of he shaw! and a long lock of
her grey hair fluttered out above the snow.
Up at neighbor Smith's the drifts grew
higher and higher, the house fairly shook on
its slight foundation. Just at lied-titne
Smith thought be would go out and look at j
the horses and see if they were all right He .
went, but did not come back.
Dolph went to look for him. an 1 he did
not come back.
The two women crouched in the house
knew what it meant. Susan opened the door;
the wind nearly took her off her feet. Mary
was frantic she would go to look for them,
but Susan held her back. They could not
go to lied ; they wrapped the bedclothes
altout them and sat down by the stove.ry
ing. At last Susan went for more wood.
There was none.
What should they do? I
They sat there a while longer till the fire had
died out, then crept into a hole under the
house which served the purpose of a cellar,
There they Touched in the darkness all.night,
talking a little in hoirificd whispers and
weeping much.
In the morning Susan crept up stairs and
got a piece of a loaf of bread ; it was all they
had to eat and no fire to cook more. They
ate a little of it, but only a very little, and
clung closer to each other as the day wore
on. Were they to starve to death there?
Sometimes they hoped they should, when
they remember?d what had happened, and
; again they sobbed at the thought.
It was night when Cyrus reached home.
' He stumbled on something near the house,
j He stooped down and drew it out of the
, snow. He staggered into the house with it
j and stood wildly staring about the room, as
i if he expected to see some one. When he
came to his senses he knew his feet and
j hands were frozen lie could not tell any
j thing else for some time. When he could he
picked the stiffened form from the, floor as
j best he could with his frozen hands, laid it
' tenderly on the bed and made his way to
i neighbor Smith's.
The frightened women in the cellar were
j wild when they heard his footsteps over
i head, and still more frantic when he spoke
' to know if no one was there ; but finally
: they understood who it was, and crept out of
i their hiding-place. Mary broke the thick Ice
: in the water pail and got cold water to take
; the frost from his hands and feet, and Su
I sen seized the axe and demolished a couple
j of chairs, with which she started a fire. They
j had"bitter tales for each other, but it was a
! slight comfort to hear the sound of each
other's voices,
j The snow continued to pile deeper and
! deeper, and no train came with the longed
' for supplies ; but by burning the furniture
! in their own house aud that belonging toCy
' rus, which he brought to them, and finally
the most of his house, procured in the same
way, the three managed to keep warm, and
live carefully on the small stock of provis
ions which he had brought from town. He
brought his mother's dead body and laid it
in the. little bedroom, till there could be some
way to dig a grave the men he could not
find.
When the train finally got through, they
were all three living in one little room, in
which stood a span of horses, to save their
lives, the cattle having been nearly smother
ed by the snow. When the train whistled
jt was like news from another world ; they
were saved.

THE HUMOROVS SIDE OF MATRIMONY AS OR- ,
fKKVF.D BY CI.EROTUF.N.
Marriage is said to appall the stoutest .
heart, and is generally encountered with fear
and trepidation. It and death constitute !
the dread unknowns. Tins element of un
certainty, joined with the solemnity of the
occasion, seems to conspire lo evoke ludicrous ,
Incidents at weddings, and there is not a min- j
ister in the land who has not a score or more :
of them in his remembrance. As illustrat- 1
ing the nervousness incident to such occas- I
ions, all of them have had similar experien- j
ces to the one narrated below. (
A few jears since a young gentleman from ;
the interior of the State came to the city for ;
the purpose of meeting here and marrying a '
5'onng lady who, Iteing left an orphan a year ;
previous, had found a home with an aunt, !
who was decidedly opposed to the match. ;
The plan was for the gentleman to come to
Detroit on an early train, make the neces-
sary arrangements and meet her at the de- I
pot at 7 o'clock in the evening. Accompan- :
iedby a friend, a parson was found who con- '
sented to having the ceremony performed in I
bis own parlors, and, all preparations com- ;
pitted, the gentleman repaired to a hotel for ;
j a quiet smoke before the train should arrive, j
I While so engaged the intended bridegroom j
' bethought lii 111 of the financial phase of the j
transaction and inquired of his friend what j
was tl,e '"stomary fe-, and how and when j
lt was to bc l'i,u!. apologetically adding, with j
a "ttle nervous laugh, "You see my Iwn-, 1
never was married Iwfore."
The desired information was given, the
soon-to-be Benedict withdrew to a side table.
procured paper and an envelop, and indited
a note to the
clergy man thanking him for His !
, , . ,. . , .,
d asking his acceptance of the ,
kindness, and
inclosed, at the same time wishing he was
able to give more. The reverend gentleman
declares that newUhed the same, for the en-
ve'"P m nf,t contain a penny.
Almost equally common is the experience
of marrying those who resort to all maimer
of schemes to evade payment. A well-known .
j clergyman narrates an instance in point. He
j was then preaching at Dexter, when an ap
j pareutly verdant couple came over to his
study from the hotel. They had come to
1 town on purpose of being united by .this
j clergyman, they said, and were going on a
; "tower." The ceremony over, the groom
j thrust his hands deep into one pocket after
; another, and then with well-simulated an
! noyance, ejaculated : "I declar, Jane, I
I have left my money in the trunk over at the
! hotel !" He would go right over and get it,
and be back in. a minute. The clergyman,
i however, had been bitten before, and bland-
ly suggested that inasmuch as he was com
ing back so soon the bride could wait there
until his return. This arrangement seemed
to be satisfactory and the groom started for
the hotel. He soon returned and said :
"Jane, I can't unlock that pesky trunk of
your'n. You will have to come over ami do
it." Evidently the trunk resisted their com
bined efforts, for the clergyman never saw
them afterward.
In one instance the clergyman uimn going
to a residence to perform the marriage cere
monies found the contracting parties and
their guests all seated in the parlors unmis
takably awaiting Ins arrival.
In a low tone
lie requested them to rise, but the groom was
nervous, the bride attracted, and neither
heard the request. He repeated it in a some-
what louder rone of voice, but the result was ;
the same. Tnen one of the spectators reach- j
ed forward and, giving the groom a Kke in j
the back, whispered loud enough to le ,
heard all over the room "Git up, Gil, git up!" .
One day as an old white-haired minister ,
was writing in his study, a domestic came in I
with the announcement that a couple were j
outside who wished to be married. lie told
her to admit them, and in they came, three
j pairs of them, ami ali arm in-ann. It was
! impossible to deride which was the pair, hut
j selecting the moot confused-looking couple,
! he commenced the ceremony. All went mer
I rily until it came to the charge. "If there
I be any one among you who knows of any
reason why this couple should not be joined
, , ... .. . - .,.,!
in wedlock, let him now sj.eak, or forever ,
hold his peace." Here the usual brief pause
was made, out was quickly terminated by the
groom ejaculating, in a suppressed voice,
"Go on, parson, go on ! There ain't 110 rea
son !"
One of Detroit's oldest clergymen narrates
an incident that occurred soon after he lo
cated here, when he knew but little of the
j people and nothing whatever of the locali
i tics. He was waited upon by a nojc very rre-
possessing looking man, who wished him to
come down to, Franklin street to "marry me
and Lize." To the minister, Franklin street
sounded as aristocratic as would Washington
street, but he admits that he was a trifle ta
ken aback when lie followed the guide into

I had chilblains. Oh, you can't ft ml us on fe-
male doctors. A man who has N?en sick,
I and had male doctors, know just how much
; he would feci to have a female doctor come
tripping in and throw her fur-lined cloak
I over a chair, take off hei hat ami gloves and
; ttirow them on a lounge, and come up to the
j bed wiih a pair of marine blue eyes, with a
1 twinkle in the corner, and look "him in the
wild, changeable eyes, ami k him to run
! out his tongue. Suppose he knew his toticue
was coated so it looked like a yellow Tur
i kish towel, do vou suppose he would ant
to run out over five or i inches of the lower
l'art l'f ""d let that female doctor put her
finger on it to see how fur it was? Not
,. ,,,,, t,lslle p into
ins ciieck, and wouidn t let ln r see it for
twenty-five cents admission. We have all
seen doctors put their hands under the lied
clothes and feel of a man's K-ct to se if they
were cohl. If a female il.-tor should do that
it would give a man cramps in the legs. A
male doctor can put his hand on a man's
stomach, and liver and lungs, and ak him if
he feels any pain there, but if a female doc
tor should do the same thing it would make
a man sick, ami he would want to get up
and kick himself for employ ing a female doc
tor. Ob, there is no use talking a'oout it; it
would kill a man.
Now, supioe a man has heart disease,
ami a female doctor should want to listen to
th" beating of his heart. She would lay her
left ear on his left breast, so her eves and
rosebud mouth would If looking liyiit in his
face, ami her wavy hair would le M attered
all around there, getting tangled in the but
tons of his night shirt. Don't you suppose
bis heart would get in about twenty extra
beats to the minute? You bet! And she
would smile wc will liet ten dollars she
wouid smile and show her pearly teeth, and
the ripe lips would be working as though,
she were counting the In ats, and he wouid
think she was trying to whisper to him, and
. Well, what would he he doing all this
time ? If he was not dead yet, whi;-li would
be a wonder, his u-it hand "would brush the
hair away from her temple ami kind of stay
there to keep the hair away, and his right
hand would get sort of ncivoiis and nmve
around to the back of her head, and when
she had counted the beats a few minutes and
was raising her head he would draw the
head up to him and ki h r once for luck, it
he was as bilious as a Jersey swamp angel
and have her charge it in the bill. And then
a reaction would set in. and he would le as
weak as a cat, and she would have to fan
him ami rub his head till he got over being
nervous, and then make out his prescription
j after he cot asleep. No: all of a man's
symptoms change when a lemale do- tor Is
practicing on him, and she would kill him

ing, perhaps with embellishment, lt relates
' to the sudden outourst of emotion by the

, her marriage yesterday, and gives as the ex
i planatiiin of that sensational incident a
J story which sounds likelrouianee, but which,
j its relators nflirm, is correct in every esscn
' tial patticuliir. Briefly told, it is this :
i 'lhe Princess had been carefully, erhaps
! too carefully, brought up in seclusion tv her
parents, ,xiid she was constantly watched
over wit 11 great solicit title. Slip very rarely
saw anvlhj (,f tl1 W(rli, ut,ilU. ow

at the time of the late Kxpte.it ion was the
first ami only occasion on w hich she hint vis
ited any capital s:ive Brussels. But while at
Paris, by nn accident or through the mo
mentary inadveiteiice of her father, she met
an American gentleman, she and her fath
er were iu l'aris incognito, and were living
in a quiet manner at a not over-pretentious
hotel. The American, ignorant of the real
name and rank of the young lady, but
charmed with her leaut", grace, and sim
plicity, fell quickly in love with her. Seiz
mgnh oppoitunily one afternoon when the
Princess was tor a moment separated from
her father, who was busily engaged in ex
amining sonic machinery and she was stand
ing in iin adjoining aieove, the American
toiti pier who be was, explained in a very
few words that lie possessed

frequently than he had hoped, and his pas
