A Sudden Re-Marriage.

A sable member of the human race, whose wife did not act in accordance with the marriage vows, but did everything in her power to mar the domestic quietude of their hearthstone, asked and obtained from the Civil District Court a divorce. No sooner had the document been duly drawn up and delivered than the husband besran to repent of his reckless haste and mourn for the vacancy that awaited him at his abode. Nor was lys courage much strengthened by the sobs of his spouse, who hovered near and besought him in the name of the past to reconsider and take back the one who held him dear and regarded him as the guardian of her future destiny. She said: Wilt thou? He wilted. In twenty-five minutes a new marriage license was issued by the Clerk, and, taking the paper, Mr. Africanus made haste to the preacher, closely followed by his “ future happiness.” Can Chicago beat that? Done and undone in the space of twelve hours.— Galreeton News.
