they made as handsome a couple as
ever stood at the altar. The simple
but impressive ceremony, alter the
manner of the Methodist church, was
performed by Rev. DR., Hurd.
Immediately sfter the ceremony a
reception was given at the residence
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam. Spicer, on Vance street. After
the usual formalities, the mary friends
who called had an opportunity to ex-
anime a splendid array of WEDDING
presents. which we're expensive and
tasteful, and amounted to over nifty IN
number. The happy pair had been
remembered not only by their Mem
phis friends, but had received presents
from leading cities at a distance,
These gifts, many of them rich and
costly. and all of them appropriate
and accompanied by the best wishes,
were greatly admired. Among others
that might be mentioned, Mrs. Nat
Baxter, of Nashville, presented an
elegant solid silver pitcher and goblets
A snow-storm prevailed without
but it seemed only to increase, by con.
trast, the comfort, brightness anc
happiness within that hOspitable man

like blonde, the following lines might
have been addressed:
Ali you mind US Of lilly
Clothed about in morning glow,
While as starlight felthered softly tails
Without the silent snow.
You feel no cold; none ever
Yet crisped the sunny TIDE
Nav ali stormings float as far on and
The cold Je AL outside.
Ifa shadow or a sorrow
Ever reaches your hearts sweet glow
May they fail as soft and lightly
Pure aud tender as this snow.
Such at least were the wishes OF al
present, and many others, who sen
warmest greetings.

eOmlcaI slory ora MORMON WIG.


There is a comic as we'll as pathetic
side to Mormon polygamy. Among
the Mormon women at Utah was one
who accepted in full faith the polyg-
annie revelation. She had found IN
polvgamy an ample compensation in
the supposed right Of the first wife to
choose her husbands succeeding
wives. This was her argument: IF
the first wife selects the other wives,
it has the effect of showing them that
the husband thinks much Of her iudg-
ment, and is wiling to abide oy it,
and that they will have to do the same.
This is. Of course, as it should be.
But if sne les her husband choose
his own wife, be is almost certain 10
take a fancy 10. one whom the first
wife docs not like at all, and, conse-
quently, her authority is undermined
The first wife ought to keep all the
power in her own hands" The sequel
Of this lady's story is extremely ludi
crous. Alter she had chosen two
other wives fer her husband, he was
so perverse as to choose a fourth for
himself, the fourth being not at all to
her liking, as she herself admitted.
This is her own account of the matter:
L tell you,' said |, "'I'm quite dis
