twostory residence of our well known citi.

scene as presented in the gorgeous parors of

ted on cherubic wings to fan the ear of the
deluded listener We gazed upon the SOM
nolent lily floating on the dreamy Nile, and
have plucked from their Rocky Businesses the
lichen growing in the crevices of the Alpine
peaks, but Niobe, in all her glory, was never
to be compared with a scene like this After
the solemn ceremony had been completed of
permitting two hearts hereafter to beat each
other as one, the festivities of the evening
