yet eloquent harbingers of glorious
summer: so have been the ''whisper-
ings'' in the air-the apparently voice
less echoes which like hushed music
+ have ever now and then told an s:anx-
ious public" of the sometime" when
two hearts were to beat as one, and
be made glad, we trust forever. The
long anticipated ceremony was perform
ed at the VI. E. Church, last Wednes-
day morning at 10 ID o'clock by Rev.
VIM. E. Wright, B. D., Rector of
Trinity church, Waupuu. At an
early hour the church was filed, every
available seat being occupied. At ten
o clock the parents of the bride and
groom entered the church, immediate
lily followed by the groom supporting
the brides sister, Miss Hettie Mosh-
er, followed by the bride attended by
Mr.. G. A. Neeves, brother of the
groom. \ Wedding March was
rendered upon the organ by Miss Roe,
and the parties Immediately assumed
their respective positions in front of
the chancel where the twain were made
ono flesh according to the usage of the
Episcopal Church, of which both bride
and groom are COMMITMENTS. The
ceremony was brief and beautifully i'm
presslve. 1t was solemn occasion,
and the twain made happy by the
spoken words which welded the love
tie indisoluble for aye we trust, we be-
heve fully realized the responsibilities
attaching to the new position which
/ they are to assume before the world,
the sweetest and most fallowed the
good Father vouchsafes to man-that
ofhusband and wife in time and through
all eternity. Immediately after the
ceremonies the wedding party were es-
corted to carriages in waiting, and were
conveyed to the residence Of the bride
where a party Of twenty or more friends
and relatives exchanged SITUATIONS and
wished the happy couple all the happi
ness Imaginable, pleasant and useful
life with just enough of cloud to rem
der the sunlight of the halycon days
in store not too dazzling,
A bountiful table was prepared la
den with yiaGds that an epicure could
not have resisted enjoying. Mer-
riment and mirth reigned supreme till
the hour came for the departure of the
party, who go to New York and the
east via. Cleveland for bridal tour ola
month. Many friends escorted them
to the cars. They departed with glo-
rious hopes which all hope may find
fruition in the years to come. The
bride was arraycd not gorgeously, but
with becoming taste suiting the occa-
sion.
Mr. Neeves the groom has been rear
ed among US and is known to our peo-
| pie as young man of good promise.
All wish him well in his new life
whereon he enters with everything to
encourage ana stimulate him to noble
and worthy manhood. Miss Alice,
the bride, formerly a resident Of Ber
/ lin, and the daughter of Dir. Mosher
has been employed in our school as
teacher in the primary department, a
position she has filled most acceptably,
Passing over the threshold of maiden
hood may her wifely days be hallowed
and sweet till life's setting sun reveals
the dawning Of that other morn that
knows no ending.
The decorations at the church were
! beautiful. The desk was ornameuted
with beautiful cross entwined with
a WAX vine, beautiful boquets support
! ing it on either side. A beautiful
monogram rested at the foot of the
cross. Upon two small tables at the
right and left of the chancel were
gorgeous boquets and Immediately in
front of the chancel was erected an
evergreen arch beneath which was sus-
pended a large marriage bell trimmed
with everlastings. At the foot of the
aisles leading to the chancel were erect
ed two magnificent arches with the
initials n. and NJ. suspended. The
arches were lastly trimmed, the bride
with white everlastings; the groom S
with every manner of house plant
blossoms. The appointments were
! surprisingly beautiful, and displayed
the artistic skill of the artists, princi-
paly Mrs. 0. C. Neeves and Mr.. c.
Pomainyille.
