InERESTING II'EDDIZVG AT BISLEY.

A ceremony not only of local, but of general
interest, took place in the parish church of Bisley,
Stroud, a few days ago. We allude to the mar-
riage of the youngest daughter of the Rev. T. Kehle,
M.A., Vicar of Bisley (niece of the late Rev. John
Kehle, author of "The Christian Year"), to Wil-
liam Gordon Smythies, Esq., second son of the Rev.
W. Y. Smythies, of Hill Side House, Weeley,
Essex, and of the celebrated authoress whose works
have done S.) much to purify and elevate the
romantic literature of our time and country. The
church was crowded, and the bride never appeared
to such advantage as when she entered the church
at the head of eight fair bridesmaids.
The bridal dress was made of the richest white
satin, with a very long train, the whole bordored
with marabouts and artistically trimmed with
Honiton lace, pearls, and orange blossoms. The
veil, which wasgracefully thrown over the wreathed
head, and covered the whole ocrsov, was 6f lloni-
ton lace. The Yen. the Archdeacon of Gioucester
(Sir George Prevost, Bart.), uerforrucd the cere-
mony, in the most impressive mannir, assisted by
the &v. H. Frith, M.A., and the Rev. A. Living-
stone, M.A.

A magnificent breakf tit wis sn-ve,l up at the
Vicarage, and S:r George Prevost, iu a speech full
of deep feeling, proposed the health of the newly-
wedded pair. He said he bad known the bride
frotu her cradle, and had often carried her in his
arms when she was a baby. He, therefore, could
not but feel the deepest emotion on the present
occasion, but that be felt no anxiety on her ac-
count, for as the husband of her choice had ever
been one of the best of sons, it was not to be
doubted that he would be one of the mast de-
voted husbands.

In returning thanks, the bridegroom (already
very favourably known to the world as the author
of some exquisite poems entitled, " Golden
Leisures,") said, "I know not how to thank you,
dear friends, for the warm manner in which you
have just drunk our healths. I should find it
difficult to do so were it only for myself, but that
difficulty becomes an impossibility now that I have
to acknowledge your kindness for her who, by the
grace of Almighty God, has become a second and
dearer self. I never felt more deeply than at this
moment the truth of the words of our great sacred
poet, wheh he said " There is an awe in mortal
joy." Mr. Edward Fitzgerald (the best man) pro-
posed " The Bridesmaids," in a speech full of wit
and humour, and after the other customary toasts
the happy pair set off for the Continent via Dover.
