Hymenial Notes.

Hymen has recently been called
upon frequently to preside at nup-
tial solemnities.
The friends of Willie Wheeler
extend to him their hearty congrat-
ulations since he has been so chiv-
alric in wooing and so successful In
winning the beauideal of his affec-
tions, Miss Ada Reynolds. While
he is giving his youthful devotions
to the Young wife of his heart, we
would join him in expressions of
profoundest gratitude to God who
has dealt so kindly with him, bless
ed him so abundantly and crowned
him so profusely with fortunes
glittering coronals. From a fond
mothers heart, a sweet sisters
spirit, q noble fathers bosom, and
from score of kindred souls and
friendly hearts go up the warm,
tender breathings that the richest
and choicest benedictlons of Heav-
en- may rest upon "Willie" and his
fair bride. May their lives blended
into one be as cheerful and sun
shiny as a beautiful May day, and
their final departure "a calm and
peaceful as the twilight of a sum
per's evening-their home having
been gladdened TO the end by the
purest, sweetest and the brightest
streamlet of conjugal felicity.
On Thursday evening, Nov. 1st, q
brilliant reception was anticipated
at Col. Wheeler's, but the heavy
rains interfered. Invitations were
sent out again and the en- tertaiL-
ment was repeated Friday evening.
Notwithstanding the high waters, a
large crowd of friends we're in at
tendance at an early hour. Every
thing was done to make the occa-
sion enjoyable. The company was
highly entertaining. Mr.. and Mrs
Rothrock who but recently took
upon themselves the hymenial vows
graced the festive scene with their
presence; also Miss Murdoch of
Montgomery, Ala, Miss Jennie
Davenport and-but we cannot en-
ter into particulars; suffice it to say
that "beauty and chivalry" had
gathered, and there in "sweet as
semblage" was "every blooming
grace" After a consultation with
our own feelings we venture 10 say
that all were delighted with the
evenings entertainment, the sup
per, the company, the host and
hostess and especially with their
daughter Miss V. who was the cen
ter of a constant circle of admirers.
1t was to be regretted that Geo.
and Willie w. and their wives were
not present, as they had been sud
denly called TO the death-bed of
their brother Theo. Reynolds. A
strange mixture of JOY and grief;
marriages and funerals; marriage
bells and funeral knells; orange
blossoms and black Grape; bridal
robes and winding sheets; marriage
ceremonies and Burial services;
blissful unions and sad separations.
We join our friend VIM. Shores
in expressions of joy that he has at
last been brought beneath Loves
delightful influence and fascinating
power. Last Sabbath two weeks
the union most "devoutly wished
for" was consummated when he led
Miss Jennie Harwell to the lynne
NAL altar and took upon himself
the marriage vows. Esq. r. d.
Reed performed the ceremony.
Many anxious hearts, filed with
congratulatory expressions, kind
wishes and sincere prayers follow
the welded pair as they start hand
in hand, heart in heart, side by side,
to meet the grave responsibilities OF
their new relations, and together TO
fight the battles of life. God grant
them immortal success. 1t is ru
mored that others are soon TO en-
bark upon the matrimonial seas
for peaceful voyages or unfortunate
shipwrecks-for ~weal or woe. .
God Almighty bless them all
