A Divorced Couple Re-Married

Fourteen years ago the marriage bells rang in a Boston church for handsome John Winter and pretty Alice Lee ; and a handsomer couple, so cotnmeut said, never vowed to be faithful to each other. Four years later after two years of never-ending dissension and strife, they separated by mutual consent, and according to agreement, the wife sued for the divorce on the ground of desertion, aud in due time received the Court's decree. In that they were not at all unlike the countless couples whose follies make life misery to themselves while swelling the fortunes of divorce lawyers and witnesses. Uut mark the sequel. Less than a year ago they met each other again, after both had time to discover their folly, and when each began to realise th.it the other was not at all to blame. There was apparently nothing emotional in their meeting, which closed but to b» followed by another and ati'l anotl c Before the ex-husband kievr whar he was about he was dead in love, so the chroniclers say, with the woman from, whom he hail so gladly separated nine years before; and what was equally strange, the woman was quite as much in love with him. They met again, they talked it over, and one day a minister was called in to annul the decree of divorce. A little daughter born shortly after the separation, was among the few witnesses who saw the quiet ceremony, aud among the very few people who live to witness the marriage of their parents at ny time or place.— Philadelphia Times.
