n social event mas transpired in our village
which was not unexpected to many of the
friends of the parties interested. The gossips
had on repeated occasions fixed the time but
as often as the day was set by those who
wished the consummation, so often were we
doomed TO disappointment. But, as an old
adage has it, "a long threatening comes at
last. SO week previous to the 18th inst. a
neat wedding card was received, containing
the following invitation:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Brooks request the pleasure n,
your comp ny at the marriage of their daughter
NINA TO W H. Glasier, at their home, Bloc mi sgton
Wis, on wednesday, February IS, 1880, at o'clock,
p. m.
The opportunity was embraced and we
went to the hospitable home OBSCURE Brooks
to find there large number of the friends
and neighbors of the brides parents as well
as many of the, friends and companions of the
bride herself. For be it known that Nina 4.
one of our leading young ladies'; one whose
genial smile gladdens the social circle and
who was always among the foremost in what
ever of social nature that transpired in our
village. Besides, she took no email interest
in church affairs, being consistent member
of the Baptist church. She has been lead.
ing teacher in our vicinity and no doubt her
experience as such, led her to conclude that
the most congenial and profitable school for
her to teach is one in which there is but one
scholar at present and that big boy. The
doctor no doubt, used all his persuasive DOW,
ers to convince her that this one scholar
school is just the thing for any enterprising
young lady to teach. No doubt this tone Of
argument in connection with the natural re-
gard which true woman has for a brave man.
led Nina to go into school teaching on her
own hook.
The groom, DR.. w. H. Glasier, is new
man among US. He is young physical with
a good and growing practice in which he is
prominently successful, and he is well liked
as social gentleman and neighbor.
The bride was dressed in light-colored
silk dress made in accordance with the most
approved pattern and latest style. White kid
gloves and white kid slippers in connection
with the dress spoken of already made Nina
lock bride in all that pertains to that title
in beauty and outfit. The groom was dressed
in the conventional black suit and looked
brave, happy and triumphant as he led his
Nina to the hymeneal altar where the sacred
rites were performed by the Rev. George D.
Stevens in solemn ard impressive manner
and the twain were made one. In the Ian,
guage Of Tom Moore,
There's bliss beyond all that the minste has told.
When two, that are link'd in one heavenly tie
With heart never changing and brow never cold,
Love on thro' all ills. and love on till they die.
One hour OF passion so sacred is worth
Whole ages of heartless and wandering bliss.
And oh IL there be an Elysium on earth,
1t is this-It is this"
And judging from the appearance of the
now Mr.. and Mrs. Glasier they both would
endorse all of the above sentiment The con.
gratulations over, the guests partook of
substantial repast and then returned each to
his respective home and pursuit and no
doubt each one feeling that it was well to be
among the chosen ones to witness the mar
rage ceremony of DR.. w. II. Glasier and
Miss Nina Brooks. The happy couple take
wedding trip to Madison and Milwaukee when
they will return to Bloomington and like the
rest of Us it will be with them
