Pagina 29 - MARRIAGE OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. No word ! no sound ! But yet a solemn rite Proceedeth through the festive, lighted hall. Hearts are in treaty, and the soul doth take That oath, which, unabsolved, must stand till death, With icy seal, doth stamp the scroll of life. No word ! no sound ! But still yon holy man, With strong and graceful gesture, doth impose The irrevocable vow, and with meek prayer Present it to be register'd in Heaven.

And there was silence 'mid the gather'd throng.
Pagina 14 - I REQUIRE and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that so many as are coupled together otherwise than God's Word doth allow are not joined together by God; neither is their Matrimony lawful.
Pagina 3 - I'll cling to thee, And plant for him that blessed tree." Around their home its branches spread, Its buds she nursed, its root she fed ; Though flaunting crowds, with giddy look, Of toil so meek slight notice took, Yet hovering angels marked with pride The green tree of the blessed bride.
