The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1871-08-17
The Hymenial Torch Kindled into
q Brilliant Flame.


Cupid has again tripped to Pulas-
ki on silver sandals and armed with
his magic bow has let ay another
arrow and transfxed two noble
hearts which heard with delight
the musical tweng Of his bow-string.
The mischievous little divinity then
babe HyInen kindle his luminous
torch and conduct to the altar the
willing victims Of his matchless
archery. At a shrine where human
hearts draw the sweetest fmspira-
tions of love and where human lives
are dedicated to the hottest duties,
the commands Of the rosy-cheeked
son Of Venus were obeyed. Amid
smiles that drew their sunshine
from the soul, amid tender chances
that were luminous with the sweet
emotions of loving hearts throb-
bing in the bosom of af1ectionate
friends, beneath the shadow of
Gods sacred altar and in the pres
enee of one Of His ambassadors,
the stainless hand and heart of a
lovely girl were given for life to The
man whom her affection had sin
gled out from all others. We al
lude to the marriage of the charm
ing Miss HATTIE JONES, daughter
Of our distinguished felIow-citizen,
Mai. THos. N. JoEEs, last Thursday
night. The ceremony was per-
formed at the Presbyterian Church
at O'Clock by Rev. Mr.. BRADLEY,
of FRANKLIN. The bridal party ar
rived promptly at the hour men
toned and as a numerous body of
attendants accompanied the happy
pair to the altar, q brilliant specta-
Gle was presented to those assem-
bled to witness the consumation of
those sacred vows which unite man
and wife. After a beautiful and
impressive ceremony, during which
the reverend gentleman alluded in
a feeling manner to the saeredness
of marital relations, the twain we're
pronounced one: The bridal party
then repaired to the elegant resi-
dence of the brides father, where a
large and brilliant assemblage Of
invited guests were collected. At
ter the usual congratulations had
been gone through with the dining
room doors were opened and the
guests were invited to partake Of
an elegant supper, composed of all
the viands which wealth combined
with epicurcan taste alone can pro
cure. The tables were beautifully
arranged. Aspiring pyramids, com
posed of the choicest corrections
and reared with artistic skill, mag
nifcent cakes, iced with an eye to
that tempting effect which provokes
the drowsiest appetite, meats of ev-
cry description and all the substan-
tials and coneomitants that adorn
a bountiful repast; were furnished
in abundant quantities by the hos
pitable parents of the bride. At u
o'clock the festivities closed and
the bride and groom left on the mid
night train for an eastern tour
Professor EWING, the hero of this
charming matrimonial episode, has
been but a short time resident of
our city, but his Brilliant success
in winning one of Pulaski's favorite
daughters is conclusive proof that
he is one of the brave who deserve
the fair. To him and his lovely
bride, as they clasp hands for the
long journey dddwn the aisles of life.
we offer fervent congratulations
and venture to hope, despite the
chronology Of most human lives,
that theirs may be a career blessed
by the unfaltering guardianship of
of happiness and sanctifed by the
immortal agencies OF that love
which inspiIes the music of seraph-
ic choirs and makes tremulous the
melody Of angel harps.
