After announcing the bans and
causing the wedding party to be
seated, Mr.. Stoddert proceeded in
the following beautiful and appro
pirate language:
The title of one o. the works of
the greatest of writer's is s'All's well
: that ends WELL There is that in
present circumstances, to which this
title may apply. In the days of
shadow and of storm, that were over
the land years ago, it CHANGED that
on the old pike over yonder a youth
met a girl, then unknown TO him,
and was thrilled as with vision Of
, the higher spheres. The glittering
prize seemed too bright to be won,
but it was in him to seek for it.
Years rolled on. She was one fair
to see. Many a knight was at
tracted by her beauty, and retained
by her grace and intelligence, and
tried his fortune ID the tournament
Of love. The youth often in gloom,
often in pair,waited and watched
He served as Jacob did for Rachel
for seven years. With the patience
of Job, he served yet seven years
longer. At last the winter of cold
ness has turned to the warmth of
summer The battle has ended, the
been laid in his, there to rest by
Heavens high behest, till death do
them part. 1t is a tale not often |
told, this of devotion so steadfast, !
Of affection so enduring. And here |
in these sacred walls, and now in |
this love-illumined hour, l tell you |
both that home is the resting place |
not of angels but of the fallible sons |
and daughters of fallen Adam, and |
it is an abode of happiness as it is
ruled over by three graces: indus
try, with her steady eye and hand,
to acquire; prudence to employ the |
gifts of life, and greatest of these,
affection, daughter of Heaven, moth
er of fOrbearance, tenderness and
sympathy, who can illuminate the
now with CLEANS of the hereafter
and the beyond with sweet memo
ries of the now.
He then called the party to arise
and assume positions and proceeded
in solemn manner and words to tie
the knot which made them man and
wife, Mr.. Terry Dickerson read in
clear and beautiful manner the
following lines:
Old winters race at last is run,
From Southern realms returns the sun,
To warm the cold to wake the sleeping,
To change to smiles the winters weeping:
And COW the spring with 1owery wing,
Is coming to the land,
And meath the wreath the newly wed
Are standing hand in hand.
This moonlight night brings winters death,
| This moonlight night brings spring soft
breath,
This moonlight night ends loves long sorrow,
This moonlight night brings joys glad NOR
row.
| " e hope for you so tried and true,
The omen of the time,
| No wintry day in al your way,
Doom life's unclouded prime.
Hand joined to hand and heart to heart,
Thus may you 60 till death shall part,
| May spring begun be ended never,
| While suns shall shine and moonbeams
culver,
And when at last the race is past,
And Angels take you home,
! Still may You say in upper day,
The spring, the spring has come.
A boquet was presented by Mr..
Stoddert, from Mrs. McLaurine,
when the newly married couple, fol
lowed by the attendants, filed out of
the church and to their carriages.
The train waited until after nine
o'clock to bring the large party of |
PuIaskIans home, and the bridal
party came to Pulaski, arriving |
about eleven O'Clock, and were
driven to the residence of Capt. !
Jas. r. Crow, where the family of |
the groom and the friends of the !
parties had assembled to welcome
them, and where they were compli-
mented with a splendid supper, pre-
prepared under Mrs. Crows super
vision, and the time for two or three
hours was spent with much pleas
ure.
The church was crowded to over
flowing by the friends and neigh
bors and relatives of the contract
ing parties, and the array of beauty
and fashion and chivalry that as
sembled to witness the event that
makes two hearts happy was an ova
ton to them that spoke stronger
than words the graduation of hearts.
The parties to the ceremony were
arrayed in costliest apparel, which,
added to their mate beauty and |
handsomeness, and under the inspi-
ration of happy surroundings, made
the scene of supremest lovliness.
Congratulating words are vain to
express our wishes for this gallant
and genial gentleman and his ac-
complished and beautiful bride. I'll
we could call down the blessings of
heaven upon them we would COM
mand them to come in heavenly |
shape, such as fill angels with won
der and love; and had we the power
to shape their fate, angels should |
be envious and these should want /
nothing to render their happiness
supremest joy forever.
