WEDDING AT EMANUEL CHURCH - WILMINGTON
AND NEW CASTLE UNITED
Correspondence of the Commercial
New CASTLE, October 30.
Our little town was enlivened, this afternoon
by quiet, yet brilliant wedding, that deserves to
be remembered.
Mr.. Andrew Gray Wilson, of your city, was
united in marriage to Miss Nathalie Green Dri-
ver a daughter Of the late Joshua Il. Driver,
Esq some years since the Mayor OF Wilmington.
he ceremony was performed in Immanuei
Church, by the Rector, the Rev. Charles s.
Spencer. Loug before the appointed hour, (hall
past two o'clock,) the building was filled with
invited guests and friends Of the bride and
groom. Atiectlonate friends had dressed the altar
and chanoel with beamIng flowers, and the aisles
Immediately i'll front OF tue altar, and above the
heads of the bridal party were arches, with fes-
toons composed OF the beautifully tinted leaves
OF our autumn forests.
The bridal party consisted Of the gro ON, who
escorted the mother OF the bride, MIR. Henry w.
Brown blOtheI-ln-iaw OF the BRIDE, who led her
TO the altar, and performed the ceremony OF
giving her away. line BRIDE was dressed IN pure
white, and wore white veil and head dress OF
orange blossoms.
The marriage ceremony of the Episcopal
Church il exquisite in the beautiful simplicity OF
Its expression, and as the clear tones Ot the ex-
horlaLlOns and questions OF the minister, with
the answers OF the bride and groom, were heard
through the stiffness OF the building, every one
was impressed with the solemnIty and beauty OF
the scene
Upon the confusion of the ceremony the par
ty drove out to Devundale, the residence OF
Bankson L. HolcomD, Esq, another brother-in-
law OF the bride, where many Of the friends and
acquaintances called to offer their congratula-
tions, and TO look at the handsome bridal pres
ents. 10 partlcularize these would perhaps be-
inyidious, but among them there was Que which
by Its significance deserves remark. This
present consists OF silver tea
and coffee service, given to the groom by the
employees OF the Harlan HolhugswOrth Co.,
Of our your city. MIR. Wilson Is member of that
establishment. The service was the spontaneous
present OF the employees to hun on the eve of his
Wedding day, and ID slgnlncant Of the mutual
esteem and regard suDslsting between them.
At five O'Clock, the bride and groom drove over
to your city to take the cars for New York.
Whittier they will 30, depends, am told, en-
tirely on the inclination OF the moment. The
weather is delicious and at this season they may
travel almost whithersoever they please.
As amidst the blessings aud congratulations
of all present (the old Bnoe not forgottenl their
carriage disappeared III the distance, the quaint
lines vi an old English poet In his Advice to
the Married. lnyuluntarlly rose to mind:
"should erring Nature casual faults disclose,
Wound not the breast that Irbors your repose;
For ever grief that breast from you shall prove
Is one link broken in the chain Of Love.
Soon with their objects other woes are past,
But uans from those we love are pains that last;
Though faults or foes from reproach may fly
Yet, in Its shade the tender passions die.
Love like the rower that courts the SUMS Kind ray
VIII flourish only In the smiles Of day:
Distrus.'s cold air the generous plant annoys
And one chill bl ght Of dire contempt der troys.
Oh shun my friends, avoid that dangerous coast
Where peace expires and fair affections lost;
BY wit, by grief by anger urged, forbear
The speech contemptuous, and the scornful air." /"
