A DELIGHTFUL scENE.-A scene well calculated to
gladden. the heart, and to excite all the geDter sym.
pathtes Of our nature, recently took place at quiet
rural village in England, called Doddleston 1t seems
that the eIdes, daughter of the pastor of the village

man, and the inhabitants of the parish, who esteem
ed and loved all parties, determined upon agreea-
BILE festival. SPY the dawning of the happy morn
every approach to the village. to the parsonage to
the church, bore testimony TO the exertions 10 the
taste, to the gratitude, the respect and the affection
OF the parishioners. Arches OF evergreens decora-
ted with flowers, emblems and appropriate notices
met the eye in every direction SO that, when the
bridal procession issued from the house, the numer-
GUS assembage of those who had thus toiled in their
labor of love at gladdened by the surprise
and qualification which this their testimony Of re-
spect, afforded. In the best spirit that could make
due return for such exertions the procession con.
sistng of twelve couples, walked through part of the
village 10 the church, amidst the hearty congratua-
tons and prayers of many hundreds who crowded to
the church to witness the gratifying ceremony which
was most impressively performed by Rev. Frederick
Harris, the brother of the bridegroom. Never was
there more impressive scene than what that simple
village church then presented The relations, the
friends, the neighbors, the companions, the rus
tics, watching, with the deepest earnestness eve
ry word OF the service, and applying it to her
whom they all had known from her cradle In the
evening festival was got up by the whole parish
headed by Mr.. Dodd, of Doddeston-hall and his
kind and amiable family, whose exer,ons had been
indefatigable. The whole parish might truly be
said TO be present; and, under tent most tasttuly
hted up, universal tea drinking, most literally sup
piled, refreshed the gladstone and happy assemblage
TO which the reverend gentleman, with his family
and friends, resorted. The heariiness and affection
ate enthusiasm which hailed them exceeded all des-
crption, and the evening passed there upon the
green turf with as much joyousness and pleasure as
suited SO happy an occasion and the expression of
every kind and grateful feeling
