a SOC1AL EVENT.
Special Correspondence Of The Tribune.
EVANSVILLE, Wis.,, jan 25.-Last Wednesday
evening was the elimination OF an event in the
social circles Of our beautiful city never to be
forgotten. The tact that Mr. and Mrs, Ed. F.
Carpenter and Miss Mary E. Lappin would en-
terrain their friends at Apollo Hall was .uf-
fcent guarantee that it would be the most elc-
CANT and enjoyable party given in our city for
many months, and hence the event was one that
had been looked forward to and anticipated
with the greatest OF pleasure A large number
Of Invitations had been extended, md about
200 of the elite Of the city were in attend
ancc. The scene of this elegant affair,
Apollo Hall, was brilliantly illuminated ind the
inspiring strains Of Anderson's popular orches-
ira tended to more perfect enjoyment of the
occasion. At about II o'clock cessation in the
music permitted the guests to partake of the
feast Of aanties elegantly prepared, and served
in an adjoining hall,! Hastily aud beautifully
decorated. The ''wce srna' hours " had come
and we're fast going ere the guests withdrew
from the festivities OF the evening. A more
elegant display OF dress has not been seen in

AZ TER THE WEDDING.

The guests are gonc,-the pageantry
Has vanished like some brilliant dream;
The lamps nre out-on thee and me
Only tho moonlight sheds its CLEAN.
IN this sweet hour-all else forgot
Save love-for us the wolld is not;
Naught reck We Ct its praise or curse.
Thou art, and l; and we two stand
Within sweet. enchanted land,
Alone amid the Universe.
All will come back, the busy throng,
Discordant voicee, jostling fcet,-
And waves Of trouble. swift aud strong,
Against our walls shall break and beat.
But not to- night, mo, not tonight!
As sleeps yon lake, so calm, so bright,
No ripple On its shining breast.
So sleeps all thought OF iutureill;
We only feel the thsob and thrill
That stirs two hearts when fully blest-
! give thee NIL, dear love, and 60
learn the rarest bliss OF living,
The purest rapture mortals know
The joy incfable OF giving.
IT'S thine for aye; a stream 20 deep
Can never flow with backward sweep;
No drought can shrink its living tidc,-
Unless, unless thine eye grow cold,
And thy strong arm its tender fold
Enclusp, to spurn me from thy side
That cannot be-. Thy tenderness,
Thy thrilling glance, thy gentle tone,
Thy warchfNl care, thy denr carcss,--
These are-they will be-all my own.
They say that loves Il torrents dash,
a sudden fire, metcor-lIosh
That b}azcs and then dies away.
Relieve it not. True loves sun.

The following from the Cedar Falls,
Iowa, Recorder. of October 10th, will be
ca with pleasure by the friends In this
city of the Rev. e. Durs:hner, pastor Of
the German Lutheran church on Thir-
tenth street:
In the summer Of 1865 Rev. e. Durseh-
ner organized a society here and held
services in the Presbyterian church for
nearly one year, but through the faithful
and hard labor OF MIR. Durschner, with the
aid of Mr.. Bohmier (deceased) they sue
cecded In erecting house OF God on
Fremont street in the fall OF 1866.
Mr.. Durschner who alternately preach
ed in Waterloo layed also the foundation
Of the Lutheran church In that city. lie
was man OF great talent, q good preach
er and esteemed by everybody as good
man and citizen.
In the spring OF 1867 Mr.. Durschner
was succeeded by Rev. l.. Last, who only
remained here until July, 1865. The
present pastor, Rev. B. Foelcl. came here
in 1869. direct from Germany, and com-
menced his labor in preaching TWO ser
mons every Sunday and held a bible meet
ing every Wednesday evening. lie also
preached every other Sunday TO a small
congregation In Waterloo until lS72, since
when that society became strong enough
to call a permanent pastor.
