HYMENIAL.


Of the marriage of Mr.. John Nelson White
to Mrs Alfaretta Slime:
Hark what reveIry is thisg
In merry-making, hear you the kiss
That resounds throughout the room,
AS they kiss the bride but not the groom.
But then, the reason Of this must be,
That ladies do not care to be SO free,
Or, make themselves quite so ridiculous,
by appearing in light SO conspicuous.
BY request, | will now try to give
detail Of the grand wedding that oc-
Cured at the residence Of Mr.. Frank
Cooper, Warm Springs. After all dis
appointments Of not having received
bridal Trosseau, &c, from New York
City. on account OF high water at
Council Bluffs, stopping all packages
or mail matter, everything went on
the same as if nothing had happened.
Rev. Mexican just arrived from La
Grande in time to perform tile ceremo-
ny conformity with Rev. Hayes, which
was done 10 a most satisfactory man
ner. A wedding waltz was played as
introductory by Mrs. r. F. Dilley, AID
at its close the bridesmaid, Miss Josie
Abbott, and groomsman Mr.. A. Kutz
first made their appearance, sep
arated to give room for the bride and
groom, who Immediately after took
their places. At the close Of ceremo-
ny the Revs congratulated the bride
and groom; then Mr.. Chas. Marcus
stepped forth and presented the bride
with beautiful boquet of fresh flow
.ers in behalf of the ladies of Idaho
City, as the donors. The bride was
dressed in creamy null, made Prin-
cesse, draped with same, and trimmed
with creamy lace, long train. Her
long black hair was arranged in most
tasteful style, with light airy curls on
top, and waved at the side. A white
coronet spray adorned the head, with
the back sprays confined to one side.
| need make no comments, as you most
all know she looked lovely. The
bridesmaid was dressed in an elegant
white cashmere trimmed with blue
satin, sheried long train. The groom
| need not comment on, as all good
men like him must look we'll on any
occasion. After ceremony was per-
formed, the beautiful wedding cakes
