"Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one."
Lilies dark and stormy ocean,


''That life to them, will prove pleasure,
And they to each will prove treasure"
And, we trust, when they have made their
last earthly impression, and done with press
'cork in this world below, and death shall have
put a. to their existence, that their forms, after
being proceed and read, will be withoutan error
may be carefully justified and locked in the
chdSeS of love, and Jfyered upon the Jrisket Of
Redeeming Grace to that great Haven .above
and there to stand forever
FOREMAN -GUsTIN-At the Presbyterian
Church, in New Cadiz, Hooking county, Ohio,
on Sunday evening, at z O'Clock, by Rev. J. N,
Mcdaniel, Of the Christian Church Of Rose
Vile, Muskingum county, Ohio, Mr.. JOHN Il.
FoREMAN, of Vinton county, and Miss
CYNTHIA A. GUsTIN, youngest daughter OF
DR.. G. w. Gustn, of New Cadiz
We regret that we were unable to comply to a
courteous and pressing invitation to be present
ON the above occasion.
Miss AIDA GRIFFIN, of New Plymouth, and
Mr.. SAMUEL r. BAY, of Macarthur, acted as
BRIDES maid and groom 's-man. The bride was
handsomely dressed.
After the marriage ceremony the happy pair
returned to the residence of the BRIDES parents,
where they met a large number Of friends and
acquaintance. Those who were fortunate
enough to hold invitations to the house were
anticipating feast of good things and rare
season of hospitality, and we were assured that
none were the least mistaken. DIR, GUsTIN and
his good wife surely were impressed with the
idea that they couldn't have wedding every
year. This was not their first effort, however,
but they took considerable pride in this affair.
Tosay that the affair was success is like apos-
trophzing the ocean with the language of q
Western poet, who cried in a fitting expression
of his feelings, "Prodigious Dampness." He
was inadequate for the situation. So are we.
The large company partOok of sumptious sup
per from tables more than loaded with hundreds
of only the best things. The many guests were
entertained until alate hour at night
On Monday morning the loving couple, ac-
companied by the BRIDES parents, sisters and
others, proceeded to the residence Of Mrs. ELIz-
ABETH SPEcHT, sister Of tho bride, living in
Swan township, six miles north of Macarthur,
where they arrived about two o'clock in the af-
ternoon. Here they found large number of
persons awaiting their arrival, among whom
were g. w. SIssoN and wife of Macarthur,
THOMAS JOHNSTON and wife, and many others
of the neighborhoOd. 1t is of course necessary
to say that Mt this time and place that we, ac-
companied by our Shelter half" appeared
"Amid the scenes Of pleasure"
Soon the large number were invited to dinner.
The substantials and delicacies were almost
without end. "The table groaned under the
weight" etc, is the common expression, but on
this occasion even the tables seemed to express
in laughing and smiling and joyous shouts the
comforts, enjoyments and good things in abun-
dance they were yielding to others! Around
and away from the tables all enjoyed themselves
how could 1t be helped2 Well, wo can't tell OF
'all that was said and DONE" and we promised
Miss ADDIE GRIFFIN, Mr. s. II. BAY, and Mr..
THOMAS JOHNSTON, thatwe should not mention
their names at all, and we don't intend to do SO
either, because they were 80 gniet and didn't
cause any one TO laugh,
Dinner was being served until almost sunset
when carriages came TO convey the bridal party
and few friends, TO the residence Of Mrs
FOREMAN, mother Of tho groom, atwhich place
| they arrived at about six o'clock. Here were
more loaded tables and more happy people! Al
Mrs. FOREMAN has nothing In her house too
good for her friends, she continued TO generously
entertain the company until late In the evening
ItFeally seemed to us, although we don't like Il
say anything to tho gr9om about It, that thii
house (Which Is entirely neW) was built o.
pecially for the many people TO cangregate II
and enjoy themselves on this occasionl
We wish the young and loving couple aloni
life of happiness and prosperity, May tlei
married lie be an unsulliod period Of JOY an'
peace, as their barque gljdes DER the roughb bill
lows and quicksands of Time. CYNTHIA, ma.
Heaven smile upon thee continually, and ma.
you prove to the companion of your choice al
that devotion and love can make you, and ma.
| bp prove himself to be worthy Of your love AM
constancy, so that b9th may enjoy all the bless
ings earth hath to besto@, apa that Heaye
delgns TO grant you.
May the star Of hope and duty
Guide You onward down the tide,
| il And Its glorious rays OF beauty
Brightly shine on every side.
May no cloud 0f care or sadness,
| Ever dim the light Of loyei
Butmay all be Joy and gladness,,
| Asyou DER life's pillows move.
