A change of subject seems to the fair Lorena to be desirable, so she says: "Why were you not at the hop last night, Mr. Merchant?" And Jim replies, "I didn't get home in time. I was at the races. I hear you had a stunning I beg your pardon a perfectly splendid time. Those are the right words, I believe."
But this deceived few. The women of the settlement had come to call him "the little man of sorrows." Even his wife, Lorena, had divined that his mind was not one with hers; that, somehow, there was a gulf between them which her best-meant cheerfulness could not span.
Stonewall Jackson came to the door of his tent and stood, looking out. All Rude's Hill throbbed to "Dixie." On went the programme. "Marco Bozzaris" was well spoken. A blacksmith and a mule driver wrestled for a prize. "Marmion Quitting the Douglas's Hall" was followed by "Lula, Lula, Lula is Gone," and "Lula" by "Lorena," and "Lorena" by a fencing match.
I wouldn't have come to church at all to-day but the weather was so lovely, and we have so few days in this climate when one can wear anything decent it seemed a pity to lose one. Have you finished house-cleaning?" At the foot of the stairs Miss Lily Harrison meets the soprano singer. "Oh, Lorena!" she exclaims, "your voice was just perfectly divine this morning.

"Oh, you shocking fellow!" murmurs Lorena "How can you use such rough words?" "What words! Stunning? Why, dear me, that is a jolly word; so expressive. I say, you sheep in this fold took it pretty hard.
But, after the needful preliminaries, and a very little coy hesitation on the part of the lady, Lorena Sears, spinster, native of Elyria, Ohio, was duly sealed to, for time and eternity, and became a star forever in the crown of, Joel Rae, Elder after the Order of Melchisedek in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and President of the Amalon Stake of Zion.
Artlessly she lost herself in the sound of their music, until she also lost her sense of proportion, of light and shade, of simple, Christian charity. Her name was Lorena Sears, and she had come in with one of the late trains of converts, without friends, relatives, or means, with nothing but her natural gifts and an abiding faith in the saving powers of the new dispensation.
He carried the saddle and bridle into the house, and she followed him. They found Lorena annoyed by the indisposition of her husband. "Dear me suz! Here's your pa bed-fast again. He's had a bad night and won't open the door to let me tell him if he needs anything.
I was not in the habit of whistling much; but I wanted her to wake up and dress so I could get the makings of the breakfast out of the wagon. After I had the fire going and had whistled all the tunes I knew Lorena, The Gipsy's Warning, I'd Offer Thee This Hand of Mine, and Joe Bowers, I tapped on the side of the wagon, and said "Virginia!"
