't-i TIE SUPPER.
The interchange OF congratulations and
well-wishes being over, a splendid supper
OF substantials'was served In the spacious
dining-room. After Justice had been done
to this feast OF good things, the guests
were invited to ascend to the third story,
upon reaching which every one involun-
tarily stopped and looked with admiration
on the scene before them. We stood
at the entrance of a room fully fifty
feet long by twenty wide. with high
Ceilings and exquisite decorations OF
evergreens. In the centre stood table
reaching nearly the whole length OF the
room. Upon it was placed every delicacy
that could tempt the most fastidious pal
ate. Uncle Peter Zinn had outdone him
sell, great, as is his reputation as q first
class caterer. Ample justice was also done
to this recherche entertainment, the festival
hall being made merry with rich sallies of
wit and sparkling repartee from youth,
beauty and chivalry.
Descending again to the parlors below,
the large party, divided into groups and
could be found in all the rooms adjoining,
and on the portico in front, and even out
on the graveled walks Of the lawn, where.
on the moonlight played with a silver
sheen that was especially attractive TO
those romatically inclined, and more par
ticularly those who were pondering in
their mind the injunction, "go thou and
do likewise"
Unfortunately in this vain world OF ours,
all joyous meetings and greetings must be
overcast at last with cloud of some sort,
and our cloud came at last as the hand OF
the clock indicated that the hour Of eleven
was upon US. The bridal party withdrew
to make their preparations for departure,
for they, too, were going with the rest OF
us, having arranged to take the train for
Steubenville, there to connect with the
early morning train for Louisville, their
future home. Quite number OF the at
tendants accompanied them that far. The
road from Bethany to Wellsburg is a very
fair pike, and accordingly good time was
made by the hacks. As We drove away
from the Pendleton mansion, and listened
to the many half joyous and half sad
words OF parting we thought OF the lines
that tell how
"Thc glalSnne scenes Of happy hours
Dissolve at last midst cloud aud showers.
We come tO-day, Tomorrow 20,
Where next to meet We may not know"
twill be long time, we trow, before
such an other scene Of joyous life, such
large company OF fair women and brave
men, will be witnessed again in Bethany.
Such events as this do not occur often
even in large places, and in all OF
pleasant Bethany's pleasant and
romantic history, we presume that
no such social event ever oc.
Cured before. But II in the course OF
events 1t shall have q successor, and par
ticulary iffiistory shall repeat itself at the
hospitable home OF the Pendletons, may
We and all that goodly company be there
to participate.
