There are two reasons why We place the following
marriage notice out Of the place ordi aarily allotted
to matrimonial announcement
Married, In 81. Pauls Church Lewiston, on Sunday,
the llth inst by the Rev A. G. Treadway, Miss Marga
ret Atkinson and Mr.. James c. Mason
One is that Margaret was for a long time SER
want of ours, and her uniform fidelity, uprightness
good nature, intelligence, modessy, and quiet cheer
fulI ess, secured for her strong feeling Of regard
from all Of our little family. Margaret has withal
handsome face Of her own anda personable figure.
She is also nc at and tidy in her appearance and it
was therefore matter of surprise to US that Mr..
Jimmy Mason, and one or two other good looking
yourg chaps should have pulled our door bell now
and then OF an evening, and enquired if"Miss
Master Jimmy, all along, and his perseverance has
at length been crowned with ''great success by
changing 'the local habitation and name Of Mag
gle into the mere formidable one Of Mrs. James
Copeland Mason.
Last spring, however, Cor reasons now tolerably
plain, size lett her home with US, to go to the Falls
whtre J. G. NJ was residing. During the summer,
she has had charge Of part of the rooms a. the
Clifton House, and 1t is not unlikely that occasion
ally, when of duty, her present lege may have
found opportunity of communicating his personal
'views" TO her in or those lorg walks that peo-
pie sometimes take Of summer evening at fash
ionable watering places Among other rooms
under her charge are those occupied by Miss Jenny
Lind whose sterling good sense could scarcely have
failed to discover the many good points In Mar
garet's character.
On Saturday last, maggie, IN the most strictly
private and confidential manner possible, commu-
nicated to Miss Lind's maid the fact that on the
following day she was to be married, and the maid,
ss in duty bound, communicated the same to her
mistress. No sooner was this done than Miss
Lind with the same kir heartedness that is Of
her marked characteristics, and with what We can
icarcely fail to attribute to a genuine desire
for Maggie's happiness, resolved that sha
would be mistress Of ceremonies on the
happy occasion, and Immediately took Mar
garet's part in it under her own supervision.
From her the ''iar bride" (snd fair one she is)
received prefents of beautiful ear rings, breaspn,
gloves, fan, the wedding bonnet, &c &c and by
bershc deoked out for the Interesting ceremony.
This completed, Miss Lind read TO her and to her
future hus band tha; beautiful chapter OF Holy
Writ, wherein are set forth the peculiar duties TO-
wards each other Of those who are about to enter
the married state Mis- Lind then ordered her own
carriage, aud taking into IL her companion, Miss
ArnaIsen 1--WE dou't undertak, to say that we've
spelled her name correctly and Miss Maggie,
started for Lewiston, followed in another carnage
by Mr. Otto Goldsmith and the happy Mr.. James
Cortlsre Mason. Arrived at Lewiston, they pro-
ceeded 10 the Episcopal church, entered, walked up
TO the chan el rail- and there, Miss Lind ohciatir
as bridesmaid. aud MIR. Otto Goldsmith as grooms-
man. we've united in holy wedlock by our excellent
fiiend the Rev Mr.. Treadwell We have given,
rei ibsps mere space than II deserves to this little
ersode in the life OF Mile Lind; but IL struck US
illustrating too fully the simple frank hcartedness
Of the Nightingale, to be Iassed by
