r4 TAKEN AT HIS WORD,
THE DOUBLE BRIDAL

A few years ago made one ofthe seven
tynine passengers on board the fast steam
er Emily Barton, bound up the Tennessee.
A pleasant, intelligent, go-ahead captain, a
good steward, and a social refined compa-
ny, made the trip one of pleasure indeed, !,
long shall remember the saucy Emily
Barton and her superb living ffeights.-
s0ne lovely afternoon fitwas whispered that
we were to have a wedding before tie
boat reached her destination, said whisper
starting first and low near the stern some-
where in the vicinity of the ladies' cabin
and speedily making its way y-tothe hall,
the boiler. deck, and even, TO the main;
like the snow ball down the mountain,
gathering size, form, and momentum, as it
rolled forward; until the principals I'M the
interesting scene were not only pointed out
but the parson--some scraps of the history
of each, fiction, fact and surrnise. all hash
ed up ingeniously, leaving you in the half
pleasant half painful suspense and doubt
that opens the eyes so wide and strains the
drum of the ear so tight to all transpiring
around you. Well we landed to wood at
a magnificent beech bottom the tall heavily
lcaved trees with their silver gray trunks
making deep cool shade, while they with
their grassy green bank that, bore them,
were imaged in the CLASSY river, so clear,
so true, that inversion only painted the
false from the real, cutting this, charming
spot in twain came murmuring crystal
spring brook, scarce four spans wide, TO
lose itself in the mass of Tennessee waters,
theyin turn to be alike lost in the boundless
sea. c'ns
No sooner was the staging out than
there emerged from heladies' cabin fine
manly looking fellow, dressed in faultlcss
taste, intellect beaming in every feature,
while over his face perfecthappiness shone
like phosphorus on the sea, leaning on his
arm was the most loveable woman it has
ever been my lot to behold, her fine hazel
